And there was evening and there was morning, one 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 there was evening and there was morning, a second day. 001 GEN 001 009 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto 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 called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. 001 GEN 001 011 And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herb yielding seed, [and] fruit tree bearing fruit after its kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth: and it was so. 001 GEN 001 012 And the earth brought forth grass, herb yielding seed after its kind, and tree bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after its kind: and God saw that it was good. 001 GEN 001 013 And there was evening and there was morning, a 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 the 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 there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day. 001 GEN 001 020 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and let fowl fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 001 GEN 001 021 And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kinds, and every winged fowl after its 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 there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. 001 GEN 001 024 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind: and it was so. 001 GEN 001 025 And God made the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the ground after its 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 And 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 unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish 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 yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat: 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, wherein there is life, [I have given] every green herb for meat: and it was so. 001 GEN 001 031 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. 001 GEN 002 001 And the heaven and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 001 GEN 002 002 And on the seventh day God finished 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 hallowed it: because that in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made. 001 GEN 002 004 These are the generations of the heaven and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made earth and heaven. 001 GEN 002 005 And no plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up: 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 the knowledge of good and evil. 001 GEN 002 010 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four heads. 001 GEN 002 011 The name of the first is Pishon: that is it which compasseth 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 is it that compasseth the whole land of Cush. 001 GEN 002 014 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth in front 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 dress 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 thereof 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 unto the man to see what he would call them: and whatsoever the man called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 001 GEN 002 020 And the man gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for man there was not found an help meet for him. 001 GEN 002 021 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof: 001 GEN 002 022 and the rib, which the LORD God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 001 GEN 002 023 And the man 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 unto 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 unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden? 001 GEN 003 002 And the woman said unto the serpent, Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat: 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 unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 001 GEN 003 005 for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, 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 a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat. 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 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 the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. 001 GEN 003 009 And the LORD God called unto the man, and said unto 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, whereof 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 did eat. 001 GEN 003 013 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. 001 GEN 003 014 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou 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 Unto 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 unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto 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 toil 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 return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. 001 GEN 003 020 And the man called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. 001 GEN 003 021 And the LORD God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins, and clothed them. 001 GEN 003 022 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he 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 whence he was taken. 001 GEN 003 024 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. 001 GEN 004 001 And the man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man with [the help of] the LORD. 001 GEN 004 002 And again she bare 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 unto the LORD. 001 GEN 004 004 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: 001 GEN 004 005 but unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. 001 GEN 004 006 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? 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 coucheth at the door: and unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. 001 GEN 004 008 And Cain told 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 unto 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 unto me from the ground. 001 GEN 004 011 And now cursed art thou from the ground, 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 unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a wanderer shalt thou be in the earth. 001 GEN 004 013 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. 001 GEN 004 014 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the ground; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that whosoever findeth me shall slay me. 001 GEN 004 015 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD appointed a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should smite 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 bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. 001 GEN 004 018 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methushael: and Methushael begat Lamech. 001 GEN 004 019 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. 001 GEN 004 020 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents and [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 pipe. 001 GEN 004 022 And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah. 001 GEN 004 023 And Lamech said unto his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: For I have slain a man for wounding me, And a young man for bruising 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 bare a son, and called his name Seth: For, [said she], God hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel; for Cain slew him. 001 GEN 004 026 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enosh: 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 begat 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 Enosh: 001 GEN 005 007 and Seth lived after he begat Enosh 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 Enosh lived ninety years, and begat Kenan: 001 GEN 005 010 and Enosh lived after he begat Kenan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters: 001 GEN 005 011 and all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years: and he died. 001 GEN 005 012 And Kenan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalalel: 001 GEN 005 013 and Kenan lived after he begat Mahalalel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters: 001 GEN 005 014 and all the days of Kenan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died. 001 GEN 005 015 And Mahalalel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared: 001 GEN 005 016 And Mahalalel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters: 001 GEN 005 017 and all the days of Mahalalel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died. 001 GEN 005 018 And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and 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 for our work and for the 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 ground, and daughters were born unto 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 that they chose. 001 GEN 006 003 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not strive with man for ever, for that he also is flesh: yet shall his days be an hundred and twenty years. 001 GEN 006 004 The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them: the same were the mighty men which were of old, the men of renown. 001 GEN 006 005 And the LORD 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 it repented the LORD 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 ground; both man, and beast, and creeping thing, and fowl of the air; for it repenteth me 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 righteous man, [and] perfect in his generations: Noah walked with God. 001 GEN 006 010 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 001 GEN 006 011 And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 001 GEN 006 012 And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 001 GEN 006 013 And God said unto 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 how thou shalt make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. 001 GEN 006 016 A light shalt thou make to the ark, and to a cubit shalt thou finish it upward; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. 001 GEN 006 017 And I, behold, I do bring the flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; every thing that is in the earth shall die. 001 GEN 006 018 But I will establish my covenant with thee; 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 the fowl after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive. 001 GEN 006 021 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and 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 unto 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 seven and seven, the male and his female; and of the beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female; 001 GEN 007 003 of the fowl also of the air, seven and seven, male and female: to keep seed alive upon 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 off the face of the ground. 001 GEN 007 005 And Noah did according unto 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 ground, 001 GEN 007 009 there went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah. 001 GEN 007 010 And it came to pass after the 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, on the seventeenth day of the month, on 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 selfsame 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 its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every fowl after its kind, every bird of every sort. 001 GEN 007 015 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh wherein is the breath of life. 001 GEN 007 016 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God 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 bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. 001 GEN 007 018 And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. 001 GEN 007 019 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains 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 fowl, and cattle, and beast, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: 001 GEN 007 022 all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was in 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 creeping thing, and fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only was left, 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 assuaged; 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 an hundred and fifty days the waters decreased. 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 until 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, and it went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. 001 GEN 008 008 And 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 unto him to the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her in unto 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 at eventide; and, lo, in her mouth an olive leaf pluckt 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; and she returned not again unto him any more. 001 GEN 008 013 And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dried. 001 GEN 008 014 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dry. 001 GEN 008 015 And God spake unto Noah, saying, 001 GEN 008 016 Go forth of 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, both fowl, and cattle, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon 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, whatsoever moveth upon the earth, after their families, went forth out of the ark. 001 GEN 008 020 And Noah builded an altar unto 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 the sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake, for that the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, 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 unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish 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; with all wherewith the ground teemeth, and 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; as the green herb have I given you all. 001 GEN 009 004 But flesh with the life thereof, [which is] the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. 001 GEN 009 005 And surely your blood, [the blood] of your lives, will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it: and at the hand of man, even at the hand of every man’s brother, will I require the life of man. 001 GEN 009 006 Whoso 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 therein. 001 GEN 009 008 And God spake unto 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, the fowl, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that go out of the ark, even 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 the 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 unto 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 of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan. 001 GEN 009 019 These three were the sons of Noah: and of these was the whole earth overspread. 001 GEN 009 020 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and planted a vineyard: 001 GEN 009 021 and he drank of the wine, and was drunken; 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 without. 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 youngest son had done unto him. 001 GEN 009 025 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. 001 GEN 009 026 And he said, Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant. 001 GEN 009 027 God enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan 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 unto 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 Of these were the isles of the nations 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 Put, and Canaan. 001 GEN 010 007 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca: 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: wherefore it is said, Like Nimrod a 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 he went forth into Assyria, and builded Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah, 001 GEN 010 012 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city). 001 GEN 010 013 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, 001 GEN 010 014 and Pathrusim, and Casluhim (whence went forth the Philistines), and Caphtorim. 001 GEN 010 015 And Canaan begat Zidon his firstborn, and Heth; 001 GEN 010 016 and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite; 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 Canaanite spread abroad. 001 GEN 010 019 And the border of the Canaanite was from Zidon, as thou goest toward Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, unto Lasha. 001 GEN 010 020 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations. 001 GEN 010 021 And unto Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born. 001 GEN 010 022 The sons of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram. 001 GEN 010 023 And the sons of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 001 GEN 010 024 And Arpachshad begat Shelah; and Shelah begat Eber. 001 GEN 010 025 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of the 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 toward Sephar, the mountain 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 of 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 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, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. 001 GEN 011 004 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city, and a tower, whose top [may reach] unto heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we 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 builded. 001 GEN 011 006 And the LORD said, Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do: and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do. 001 GEN 011 007 Go to, 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 thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 001 GEN 011 009 Therefore was the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence 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 Arpachshad two years after the flood: 001 GEN 011 011 and Shem lived after he begat Arpachshad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. 001 GEN 011 012 And Arpachshad lived five and thirty years, and begat Shelah: 001 GEN 011 013 and Arpachshad lived after he begat Shelah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. 001 GEN 011 014 And Shelah lived thirty years, and begat Eber: 001 GEN 011 015 and Shelah 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 in the presence of 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 And 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 unto 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 said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto the land that I will shew 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 be thou a blessing: 001 GEN 012 003 and I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse: and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 001 GEN 012 004 So Abram went, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of 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 forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came. 001 GEN 012 006 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Shechem, unto the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. 001 GEN 012 007 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him. 001 GEN 012 008 And he removed from thence unto the mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and Ai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto 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 sojourn there; for the famine was sore in the land. 001 GEN 012 011 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon: 001 GEN 012 012 and 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 that my soul may live because of thee. 001 GEN 012 014 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair. 001 GEN 012 015 And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house. 001 GEN 012 016 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she-asses, and camels. 001 GEN 012 017 And the LORD plagued 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 unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife? 001 GEN 012 019 Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so that I took her to be my wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way. 001 GEN 012 020 And Pharaoh gave men charge concerning him: and they brought him on the way, and his wife, and all that he had. 001 GEN 013 001 And Abram went up out of 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 Beth-el, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Ai; 001 GEN 013 004 unto 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, which 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 dwelled then in the land. 001 GEN 013 008 And Abram said unto 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 take] 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, like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou goest unto Zoar. 001 GEN 013 011 So Lot chose him all the Plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other. 001 GEN 013 012 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the Plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom. 001 GEN 013 013 Now the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners against the LORD exceedingly. 001 GEN 013 014 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that 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 unto thee will I give it. 001 GEN 013 018 And Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built there an altar unto 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 Goiim, 001 GEN 014 002 that they 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 (the same is Zoar). 001 GEN 014 003 All these joined together in the vale of Siddim (the same 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 Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim, 001 GEN 014 006 and the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El-paran, which is by the wilderness. 001 GEN 014 007 And they returned, and came to En-mishpat (the same is Kadesh), and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazazon-tamar. 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 set the battle in array against them in the vale of Siddim; 001 GEN 014 009 against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five. 001 GEN 014 010 Now the vale of Siddim was full of slime pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they 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 victuals, 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: now he dwelt by the oaks 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 led forth his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan. 001 GEN 014 015 And he divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smote them, and pursued them unto 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 the kings that were with him, at the vale of Shaveh (the same is the King’s Vale). 001 GEN 014 018 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was priest of God Most High. 001 GEN 014 019 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth: 001 GEN 014 020 and blessed be God Most High, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him a tenth of all. 001 GEN 014 021 And the king of Sodom said unto 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 lift up mine hand unto the LORD, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth, 001 GEN 014 023 that I will not take a thread nor a shoelatchet nor aught that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich: 001 GEN 014 024 save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which 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 unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, [and] thy exceeding great reward. 001 GEN 015 002 And Abram said, O Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and he that shall be possessor of my house is Dammesek Eliezer? 001 GEN 015 003 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir. 001 GEN 015 004 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This man shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. 001 GEN 015 005 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to tell them: and he said unto 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 unto 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, O Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it? 001 GEN 015 009 And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she-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 him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each half over against the other: but the birds divided he not. 001 GEN 015 011 And the birds of prey came down upon the carcases, and 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 unto Abram, Know of a surety 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, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. 001 GEN 015 015 But thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. 001 GEN 015 016 And in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full. 001 GEN 015 017 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a flaming torch that passed between these pieces. 001 GEN 015 018 In that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: 001 GEN 015 019 the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite, 001 GEN 015 020 and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim, 001 GEN 015 021 and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite. 001 GEN 016 001 Now Sarai Abram’s wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar. 001 GEN 016 002 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing; go in, I pray thee, unto my handmaid; it may be that I shall obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. 001 GEN 016 003 And Sarai Abram’s wife took Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband to be his wife. 001 GEN 016 004 And he went in unto 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 unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I gave my handmaid 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 unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her that which is good in thine eyes. And Sarai dealt hardly with her, and 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 handmaid, whence camest thou? and whither goest thou? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai. 001 GEN 016 009 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands. 001 GEN 016 010 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will greatly multiply thy seed, that it shall not be numbered for multitude. 001 GEN 016 011 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son; and thou shalt call his name Ishmael, because the LORD hath heard thy affliction. 001 GEN 016 012 And he shall be [as] a wild-ass among men; his hand [shall 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 spake unto her, Thou art a God that seeth: for she said, Have I even here looked after him that seeth me? 001 GEN 016 014 Wherefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered. 001 GEN 016 015 And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called the name of his son, which Hagar bare, Ishmael. 001 GEN 016 016 And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram. 001 GEN 017 001 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am God Almighty; 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 the father of a multitude of nations. 001 GEN 017 005 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for the father of a multitude of nations have I made thee. 001 GEN 017 006 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. 001 GEN 017 007 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee and to thy seed after thee. 001 GEN 017 008 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. 001 GEN 017 009 And God said unto Abraham, And as for thee, thou shalt keep my covenant, thou, and thy seed after thee throughout 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 be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of a covenant betwixt me and you. 001 GEN 017 012 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which 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 who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant. 001 GEN 017 015 And God said unto 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 moreover I will give thee a son of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be [a mother of] nations; kings of peoples shall be of her. 001 GEN 017 017 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear? 001 GEN 017 018 And Abraham said unto God, Oh that Ishmael might live before thee! 001 GEN 017 019 And God said, Nay, but Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for 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, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year. 001 GEN 017 022 And he left off 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 selfsame day, as God had said unto him. 001 GEN 017 024 And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, 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 selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son. 001 GEN 017 027 And all the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him. 001 GEN 018 001 And the LORD appeared unto him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; 001 GEN 018 002 and he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood over against him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth, 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 now a little water be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: 001 GEN 018 005 and I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your heart; after that ye shall pass on: forasmuch as ye are come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said. 001 GEN 018 006 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes. 001 GEN 018 007 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto the servant; 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 did eat. 001 GEN 018 009 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent. 001 GEN 018 010 And he said, I will certainly return unto thee when the season cometh round; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him. 001 GEN 018 011 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, [and] well stricken in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. 001 GEN 018 012 And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? 001 GEN 018 013 And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? 001 GEN 018 014 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the set time I will return unto thee, when the season cometh round, 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 thence, 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 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 have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; to the end 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 unto me; and if not, I will know. 001 GEN 018 022 And the men turned from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. 001 GEN 018 023 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou consume the righteous with the wicked? 001 GEN 018 024 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? 001 GEN 018 025 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that so 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 sake. 001 GEN 018 027 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes: 001 GEN 018 028 peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I find there forty and five. 001 GEN 018 029 And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for the forty’s sake. 001 GEN 018 030 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: peradventure 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 unto the Lord: peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the twenty’s sake. 001 GEN 018 032 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the ten’s sake. 001 GEN 018 033 And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place. 001 GEN 019 001 And the two angels came to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face to the earth; 001 GEN 019 002 and he said, Behold now, my lords, turn aside, I pray you, into your servant’s house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your way. 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 unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat. 001 GEN 019 004 But before they lay down, the men of the city, [even] the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both young and old, all the people from every quarter; 001 GEN 019 005 and they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. 001 GEN 019 006 And Lot went out unto them to the door, and shut the door after him. 001 GEN 019 007 And he said, I pray you, my brethren, do not so wickedly. 001 GEN 019 008 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; forasmuch as they are come under the shadow of my roof. 001 GEN 019 009 And they said, Stand back. And they said, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and drew near to break the door. 001 GEN 019 010 But the men put forth their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut to 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 unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whomsoever thou hast in the city; bring them out of the place: 001 GEN 019 013 for we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it. 001 GEN 019 014 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy the city. But he seemed unto 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 which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. 001 GEN 019 016 But he lingered; and 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 unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without 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 unto them, Oh, 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 shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die: 001 GEN 019 020 behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live. 001 GEN 019 021 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which thou hast spoken. 001 GEN 019 022 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. 001 GEN 019 023 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot came unto 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 gat up early in the morning to the place where he had 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 land 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 the which Lot dwelt. 001 GEN 019 030 And Lot went up out of 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 unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto 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 knew not when she lay down, nor when she arose. 001 GEN 019 034 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight 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 knew 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 bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day. 001 GEN 019 038 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Ben-ammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day. 001 GEN 020 001 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the land of the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur; and he 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 of the night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, because of the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man’s wife. 001 GEN 020 004 Now Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay even a righteous nation? 001 GEN 020 005 Said he not himself unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and the innocency of my hands have I done this. 001 GEN 020 006 And God said unto him in the dream, Yea, I know that in the integrity of thy heart thou hast done this, and I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her. 001 GEN 020 007 Now therefore restore the man’s wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine. 001 GEN 020 008 And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid. 001 GEN 020 009 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and wherein have I sinned against thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done. 001 GEN 020 010 And Abimelech said unto 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 moreover she is indeed my sister, 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 unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother. 001 GEN 020 014 And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and menservants and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored 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 unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, it is for thee a covering of the eyes to all that are with thee; and in respect of all thou art righted. 001 GEN 020 017 And Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children. 001 GEN 020 018 For the LORD had fast closed up 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 unto Sarah as he had spoken. 001 GEN 021 002 And Sarah conceived, and bare 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 unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac. 001 GEN 021 004 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was 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 unto him. 001 GEN 021 006 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh; every one that heareth will laugh with me. 001 GEN 021 007 And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should give children suck? 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 on the day that Isaac was weaned. 001 GEN 021 009 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had borne unto Abraham, mocking. 001 GEN 021 010 Wherefore she said unto 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 on account of his son. 001 GEN 021 012 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah saith unto thee, hearken unto 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 up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba. 001 GEN 021 015 And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs. 001 GEN 021 016 And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not look upon the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up 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 unto 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 thine 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 drink. 001 GEN 021 020 And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. 001 GEN 021 021 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt. 001 GEN 021 022 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest: 001 GEN 021 023 now therefore swear unto 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 unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned. 001 GEN 021 024 And Abraham said, I will swear. 001 GEN 021 025 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of the 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 heard I of it, but today. 001 GEN 021 027 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and they two 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 unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves? 001 GEN 021 030 And he said, These seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that it may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well. 001 GEN 021 031 Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba; because there they sware both of them. 001 GEN 021 032 So they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: and Abimelech rose up, and Phicol the captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines. 001 GEN 021 033 And [Abraham] planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, 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 did prove Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham; and he said, Here am I. 001 GEN 022 002 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son, whom thou lovest, even Isaac, and get thee 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 ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him. 001 GEN 022 004 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. 001 GEN 022 005 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass, and I and the lad will go yonder; and we will worship, and come again 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 in his hand the fire and the knife; and they went both of them together. 001 GEN 022 007 And Isaac spake unto 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, God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son: 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 the 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 unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. 001 GEN 022 012 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son, from me. 001 GEN 022 013 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, behind [him] a ram caught in the thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. 001 GEN 022 014 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be provided. 001 GEN 022 015 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham a second time out of heaven, 001 GEN 022 016 and said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine 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 the heaven, and as the sand which is upon 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 unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba. 001 GEN 022 020 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also hath borne children unto thy brother Nahor; 001 GEN 022 021 Uz 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 did Milcah bear to Nahor, Abraham’s brother. 001 GEN 022 024 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also bare Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah. 001 GEN 023 001 And the life of Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years: these were the years of the life of Sarah. 001 GEN 023 002 And Sarah died in Kiriath-arba (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 rose up from before his dead, and spake unto the children 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 unto 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 rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth. 001 GEN 023 008 And he communed with them, saying, If it be 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 the full price let him give it to me in the midst of you for a possession of a buryingplace. 001 GEN 023 010 Now Ephron was sitting in the midst of the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying, 001 GEN 023 011 Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead. 001 GEN 023 012 And Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land. 001 GEN 023 013 And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou wilt, I pray thee, hear me: I will give the price of the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there. 001 GEN 023 014 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him, 001 GEN 023 015 My lord, hearken unto me: a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead. 001 GEN 023 016 And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the children of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current [money] with the merchant. 001 GEN 023 017 So the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the border thereof round about, were made sure 001 GEN 023 018 unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at 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 therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the children of Heth. 001 GEN 024 001 And Abraham was old, [and] well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things. 001 GEN 024 002 And Abraham said unto his servant, the elder 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 unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac. 001 GEN 024 005 And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest? 001 GEN 024 006 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again. 001 GEN 024 007 The LORD, the God of heaven, that took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my nativity, and that spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife for my son from thence. 001 GEN 024 008 And if the woman be not willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath; only thou shalt not bring my son thither again. 001 GEN 024 009 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning this matter. 001 GEN 024 010 And the servant took ten camels, of the camels of his master, and departed; having all goodly things of his master’s in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor. 001 GEN 024 011 And he made the camels to kneel down without the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time that women go out to draw water. 001 GEN 024 012 And he said, O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, send me, I pray thee, good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham. 001 GEN 024 013 Behold, I stand by the fountain 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 give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master. 001 GEN 024 015 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the 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 fountain, and filled her pitcher, and came up. 001 GEN 024 017 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Give me to drink, I pray thee, a little water of 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 drink. 001 GEN 024 019 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw for thy camels also, until they have done drinking. 001 GEN 024 020 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw, and drew for all his camels. 001 GEN 024 021 And the man looked stedfastly on her; holding 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 done drinking, that the man took a golden ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands 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 unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor. 001 GEN 024 025 She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender 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, the God of my master Abraham, who hath not forsaken his mercy and his truth toward my master: as for me, the LORD hath led me in the way to the house of my master’s brethren. 001 GEN 024 028 And the damsel ran, and told her mother’s house according to these words. 001 GEN 024 029 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the fountain. 001 GEN 024 030 And it came to pass, when he saw the ring, and the bracelets upon his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the fountain. 001 GEN 024 031 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? 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 the camels; and he gave straw and provender 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 meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine 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 menservants and maidservants, and camels and asses. 001 GEN 024 036 And Sarah my master’s wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto 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 unto my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son. 001 GEN 024 039 And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me. 001 GEN 024 040 And he said unto 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 my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give her not to thee, thou shalt be clear from my oath. 001 GEN 024 042 And I came this day unto the fountain, and said, O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go: 001 GEN 024 043 behold, I stand by the fountain of water; and let it come to pass, that the maiden which cometh forth to draw, to whom I shall say, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink; 001 GEN 024 044 and she shall say 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 done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the fountain, and drew: and I said unto 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 give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink 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 bare unto him: and I put the ring upon her nose, and the bracelets upon her hands. 001 GEN 024 048 And I bowed my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, which 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 ye 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 unto 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 bowed himself down to the earth unto the LORD. 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 did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto 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 unto 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 inquire at her mouth. 001 GEN 024 058 And they called Rebekah, and said unto 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 unto her, Our sister, be thou [the mother] of thousands of ten thousands, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which 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 Beer-lahai-roi; for he dwelt in the land of the South. 001 GEN 024 063 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, there were camels coming. 001 GEN 024 064 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel. 001 GEN 024 065 And she said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant said, It is my master: and she took her veil, and covered herself. 001 GEN 024 066 And the servant told Isaac all the 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 And Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah. 001 GEN 025 002 And she bare 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 unto Isaac. 001 GEN 025 006 But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts; and he sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country. 001 GEN 025 007 And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years. 001 GEN 025 008 And 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 Isaac and Ishmael his sons 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 children 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 Isaac his son; and Isaac dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi. 001 GEN 025 012 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bare unto 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, Nebaioth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, 001 GEN 025 014 and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa; 001 GEN 025 015 Hadad, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah: 001 GEN 025 016 these are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments; 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 unto his people. 001 GEN 025 018 And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: he abode 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, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife. 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 be so, wherefore do I live? And she went to inquire of the LORD. 001 GEN 025 023 And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, And two peoples shall be separated even from thy bowels: 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 came forth red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. 001 GEN 025 026 And after that came forth his brother, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them. 001 GEN 025 027 And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents. 001 GEN 025 028 Now Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: and Rebekah loved Jacob. 001 GEN 025 029 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came in 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 me this day thy birthright. 001 GEN 025 032 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall the birthright do to me? 001 GEN 025 033 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. 001 GEN 025 034 And Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: so Esau despised his birthright. 001 GEN 026 001 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. 001 GEN 026 002 And the LORD appeared unto 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 unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; 001 GEN 026 004 and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these lands; 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, 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, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her. 001 GEN 026 010 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lain with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us. 001 GEN 026 011 And Abimelech charged all the people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death. 001 GEN 026 012 And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. 001 GEN 026 013 And the man waxed great, and grew more and more until he became very great: 001 GEN 026 014 and he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great household: and the Philistines envied him. 001 GEN 026 015 Now all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth. 001 GEN 026 016 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we. 001 GEN 026 017 And Isaac departed thence, and encamped in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. 001 GEN 026 018 And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged 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 digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water. 001 GEN 026 020 And the herdmen of Gerar strove with Isaac’s herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they contended with him. 001 GEN 026 021 And they digged another well, and they strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah. 001 GEN 026 022 And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: 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 thence to Beer-sheba. 001 GEN 026 024 And the LORD appeared unto 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 builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac’s servants digged a well. 001 GEN 026 026 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his host. 001 GEN 026 027 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore are ye come unto me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you? 001 GEN 026 028 And they said, We saw plainly that the LORD was with thee: and we said, Let there now be an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee; 001 GEN 026 029 that thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto 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 did eat and drink. 001 GEN 026 031 And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware 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 digged, and said unto him, We have found water. 001 GEN 026 033 And he called it Shibah: therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba unto this day. 001 GEN 026 034 And when Esau was forty years old he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite: 001 GEN 026 035 and they were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to 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 elder son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, 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 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 spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it. 001 GEN 027 006 And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto 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 fetch me from thence 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, so 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 peradventure 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 unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them. 001 GEN 027 014 And he went, and fetched, 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 goodly raiment of Esau her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son: 001 GEN 027 016 and she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth 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 unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son? 001 GEN 027 019 And Jacob said unto 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 unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God sent me good speed. 001 GEN 027 021 And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not. 001 GEN 027 022 And Jacob went near unto 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 discerned 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 did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank. 001 GEN 027 026 And his father Isaac said unto 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 And God give thee of the dew of heaven, And of the fatness of the earth, And plenty of corn and wine: 001 GEN 027 029 Let peoples 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 every one that blesseth thee. 001 GEN 027 030 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce 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 made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father; and he said unto 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 unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn, Esau. 001 GEN 027 033 And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who then 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 When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceeding great and bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father. 001 GEN 027 035 And he said, Thy brother came with guile, and hath taken away thy blessing. 001 GEN 027 036 And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: 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 unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what then shall I do for thee, my son? 001 GEN 027 038 And Esau said unto 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 unto him, Behold, of the fatness of the earth shall be thy dwelling, And of the dew of heaven from above; 001 GEN 027 040 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and thou shalt serve thy brother; And it shall come to pass when thou shalt break loose, That thou shalt shake his yoke from off thy neck. 001 GEN 027 041 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith 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 the words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah; and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching 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 turn away; 001 GEN 027 045 until thy brother’s anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be bereaved 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 take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, 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 unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan. 001 GEN 028 002 Arise, go to Paddan-aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father; and take thee a wife from thence 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 company of peoples; 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 of thy sojournings, which God gave unto Abraham. 001 GEN 028 005 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Paddan-aram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother. 001 GEN 028 006 Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-aram, to take him a wife from thence; 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 Paddan-aram: 001 GEN 028 008 and Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father; 001 GEN 028 009 and Esau went unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife. 001 GEN 028 010 And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran. 001 GEN 028 011 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep. 001 GEN 028 012 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on 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, the God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon 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 whithersoever thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of. 001 GEN 028 016 And Jacob awaked out of 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 none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven. 001 GEN 028 018 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it. 001 GEN 028 019 And he called the name of that place Beth-el: but the name of the city was 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 up for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee. 001 GEN 029 001 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east. 001 GEN 029 002 And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, three flocks of sheep lying there by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and the stone upon the well’s mouth was great. 001 GEN 029 003 And thither 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 unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we. 001 GEN 029 005 And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him. 001 GEN 029 006 And he said unto them, Is it well with him? And they said, It 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 be gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep. 001 GEN 029 009 While he yet spake 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 unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? 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 And Leah’s eyes were tender; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured. 001 GEN 029 018 And Jacob loved Rachel; and he 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 unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her. 001 GEN 029 021 And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto 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 unto her. 001 GEN 029 024 And Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid unto his daughter Leah for an handmaid. 001 GEN 029 025 And it came to pass in the morning that, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me? 001 GEN 029 026 And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn. 001 GEN 029 027 Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give thee the other 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 to wife. 001 GEN 029 029 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her handmaid. 001 GEN 029 030 And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years. 001 GEN 029 031 And the LORD saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren. 001 GEN 029 032 And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Because the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me. 001 GEN 029 033 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I am hated, he hath therefore given me this [son] also: and she called his name Simeon. 001 GEN 029 034 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have borne him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi. 001 GEN 029 035 And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, This time will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and she left bearing. 001 GEN 030 001 And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and she said unto 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 unto her; that she may bear upon my knees, and I also may obtain children by her. 001 GEN 030 004 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her. 001 GEN 030 005 And Bilhah conceived, and bare 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 called she his name Dan. 001 GEN 030 007 And Bilhah Rachel’s handmaid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son. 001 GEN 030 008 And Rachel said, With mighty wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali. 001 GEN 030 009 When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob to wife. 001 GEN 030 010 And Zilpah Leah’s handmaid bare Jacob a son. 001 GEN 030 011 And Leah said, Fortunate! and she called his name Gad. 001 GEN 030 012 And Zilpah Leah’s handmaid bare Jacob a second son. 001 GEN 030 013 And Leah said, Happy am I! for the daughters will call me happy: 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 unto 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 unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken away 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 unto me; for I have surely hired thee with my son’s mandrakes. And he lay with her that night. 001 GEN 030 017 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob a fifth son. 001 GEN 030 018 And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I gave my handmaid to my husband: and she called his name Issachar. 001 GEN 030 019 And Leah conceived again, and bare a sixth son to Jacob. 001 GEN 030 020 And Leah said, God hath endowed 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 bare 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 bare a son: and said, God hath taken away my reproach: 001 GEN 030 024 and she called his name Joseph, saying, The LORD add to me another son. 001 GEN 030 025 And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine 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 wherewith I have served thee. 001 GEN 030 027 And Laban said unto him, If now I have found favour in thine eyes, [tarry]: [for] I have divined 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 unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle hath fared with me. 001 GEN 030 030 For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it hath increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee whithersoever I turned: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also? 001 GEN 030 031 And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me aught: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed thy flock and keep it. 001 GEN 030 032 I will pass through all thy flock today, removing from thence every speckled and spotted one, and every black one 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 hereafter, when thou shalt come concerning my hire that is before thee: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that [if found] with me shall be counted stolen. 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 he-goats that were ringstraked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons; 001 GEN 030 036 and he set three days’ journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks. 001 GEN 030 037 And Jacob took him rods of fresh poplar, and of the almond and of the plane tree; and peeled white strakes 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 over against the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink; and they conceived when they came to drink. 001 GEN 030 039 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks brought forth ringstraked, speckled, and spotted. 001 GEN 030 040 And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstraked and all the black in the flock of Laban; and he put his own droves apart, and put them not unto Laban’s flock. 001 GEN 030 041 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger of the flock did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods; 001 GEN 030 042 but when the flock 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 large flocks, and maidservants and menservants, and camels and asses. 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 gotten all this glory. 001 GEN 031 002 And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as beforetime. 001 GEN 031 003 And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto 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 to the field unto his flock, 001 GEN 031 005 and said unto them, I see your father’s countenance, that it is not toward me as beforetime; 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 suffered him not to hurt me. 001 GEN 031 008 If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the flock bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be thy wages; then bare all the flock ringstraked. 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 flock conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the he-goats which leaped upon the flock were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled. 001 GEN 031 011 And the angel of God said unto me in the dream, Jacob: and I said, Here am I. 001 GEN 031 012 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the he-goats which leap upon the flock are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee. 001 GEN 031 013 I am the God of Beth-el, where thou anointedst a pillar, where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy nativity. 001 GEN 031 014 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house? 001 GEN 031 015 Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath also quite devoured our money. 001 GEN 031 016 For all the riches which God hath taken away from our father, that is ours and our children’s: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do. 001 GEN 031 017 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon the camels; 001 GEN 031 018 and he carried away all his cattle, and all his substance which he had gathered, the cattle of his getting, which he had gathered in Paddan-aram, for to go to Isaac his father unto the land of Canaan. 001 GEN 031 019 Now Laban was gone to shear his sheep: and Rachel stole the teraphim 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 fled. 001 GEN 031 021 So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead. 001 GEN 031 022 And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled. 001 GEN 031 023 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days’ journey; and he overtook him in the mountain of Gilead. 001 GEN 031 024 And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said unto him, Take heed to thyself that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. 001 GEN 031 025 And Laban came up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mountain 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 of the sword? 001 GEN 031 027 Wherefore didst thou flee secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth and with songs, with tabret and with harp; 001 GEN 031 028 and hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? now hast thou done foolishly. 001 GEN 031 029 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take heed to thyself that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. 001 GEN 031 030 And now, [though] thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father’s house, [yet] wherefore hast thou stolen my gods? 001 GEN 031 031 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Lest thou shouldest take thy daughters from me by force. 001 GEN 031 032 With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, he shall 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 tent of the two maidservants; but he found them not. And he went out of Leah’s tent, and entered into Rachel’s tent. 001 GEN 031 034 Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, and put them in the camel’s furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban felt about all the tent, but found them not. 001 GEN 031 035 And she said to her father, Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee; for the manner of women is upon me. And he searched, but found not the teraphim. 001 GEN 031 036 And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast hotly pursued after me? 001 GEN 031 037 Whereas thou hast felt about all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? Set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us two. 001 GEN 031 038 This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she-goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flocks have I not eaten. 001 GEN 031 039 That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare 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 fled from mine eyes. 001 GEN 031 041 These twenty years have I been in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock: 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 now hadst thou sent me away empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight. 001 GEN 031 043 And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the children are my children, and the flocks are my flocks, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have borne? 001 GEN 031 044 And now come, 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 unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there by the heap. 001 GEN 031 047 And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed. 001 GEN 031 048 And Laban said, This heap is 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, and if thou shalt take wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee. 001 GEN 031 051 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold the pillar, which I have set betwixt me and thee. 001 GEN 031 052 This heap be witness, and the 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 unto me, for harm. 001 GEN 031 053 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the Fear of his father Isaac. 001 GEN 031 054 And Jacob offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mountain. 001 GEN 031 055 And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place. 001 GEN 032 001 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. 001 GEN 032 002 And Jacob said when he saw them, 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 unto the land of Seir, the field of Edom. 001 GEN 032 004 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye say unto my lord Esau; Thus saith thy servant Jacob, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed until now: 001 GEN 032 005 and I have oxen, and asses [and] flocks, and menservants ard maidservants: 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 moreover he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him. 001 GEN 032 007 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two companies; 001 GEN 032 008 and he said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the 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, O LORD, which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will do thee good: 001 GEN 032 010 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two companies. 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 come and smite me, 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 night; and took of that which he had with him a present for Esau his brother; 001 GEN 032 014 two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams, 001 GEN 032 015 thirty milch camels and their colts, forty kine and ten bulls, twenty she-asses and ten foals. 001 GEN 032 016 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt 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 whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee? 001 GEN 032 018 then thou shalt say, [They be] thy servant Jacob’s; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, he also is behind us. 001 GEN 032 019 And he commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him; 001 GEN 032 020 and ye shall say, 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; peradventure he will accept me. 001 GEN 032 021 So the present passed over before him: and he himself lodged that night in the company. 001 GEN 032 022 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two handmaids, and his eleven children, and passed over the ford of Jabbok. 001 GEN 032 023 And he took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that 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 strained, 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 unto 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 thou hast striven 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, Wherefore 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, [said he], I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. 001 GEN 032 031 And the sun rose upon him as he passed over Penuel, and he halted upon his thigh. 001 GEN 032 032 Therefore the children of Israel eat not the sinew of the hip which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew of the hip. 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 unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto 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 hindermost. 001 GEN 033 003 And he himself passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until 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 these with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant. 001 GEN 033 006 Then the handmaids came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves. 001 GEN 033 007 And Leah also and 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 company which I met? And he said, To find grace in the sight of my lord. 001 GEN 033 009 And Esau said, I have enough; my brother, let that thou hast be thine. 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: forasmuch as I have seen thy face, as one seeth the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me. 001 GEN 033 011 Take, I pray thee, my gift 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 unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me give suck: and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die. 001 GEN 033 014 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according to the pace of the cattle that is before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come unto my lord unto Seir. 001 GEN 033 015 And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk 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 unto Seir. 001 GEN 033 017 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth. 001 GEN 033 018 And Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram; and encamped before the city. 001 GEN 033 019 And he bought the parcel of ground, 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 erected there an altar, and called it El-elohe-Israel. 001 GEN 034 001 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. 001 GEN 034 002 And Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her; and he took her, and lay with her, and humbled her. 001 GEN 034 003 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel. 001 GEN 034 004 And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife. 001 GEN 034 005 Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; and his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they came. 001 GEN 034 006 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him. 001 GEN 034 007 And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, 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 communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her unto him to wife. 001 GEN 034 009 And make ye marriages with us; give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you. 001 GEN 034 010 And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein. 001 GEN 034 011 And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto 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 unto me: but give me the damsel to wife. 001 GEN 034 013 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with guile, and spake, because he had defiled Dinah their sister, 001 GEN 034 014 and said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us: 001 GEN 034 015 Only on this condition will we consent unto you: if ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised; 001 GEN 034 016 then will we give our daughters unto 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 unto 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 honoured above all the house of his father. 001 GEN 034 020 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed 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 therein; for, behold, the land 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 unto us to dwell with us, to become one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised. 001 GEN 034 023 Shall not their cattle and their substance and all their beasts be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us. 001 GEN 034 024 And unto Hamor and unto 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 unawares, 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 forth. 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 flocks and their herds and their asses, 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, took they 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 to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and, I being few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and smite 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 unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Beth-el, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, who appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother. 001 GEN 035 002 Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and purify yourselves, and change your garments: 001 GEN 035 003 and let us arise, and go up to Beth-el; and I will make there an altar unto 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 unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem. 001 GEN 035 005 And they journeyed: and a great terror was upon the cities that were round about 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 (the same is Beth-el), he and all the people that were with him. 001 GEN 035 007 And he built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el: because there God was revealed unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother. 001 GEN 035 008 And Deborah Rebekah’s nurse died, and she was buried below Beth-el under the oak: and the name of it was called Allon-bacuth. 001 GEN 035 009 And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him. 001 GEN 035 010 And God said unto 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 unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins; 001 GEN 035 012 and the land which I gave unto 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 spake with him. 001 GEN 035 014 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spake with him, a pillar of stone: and he poured out a drink offering thereon, and poured oil thereon. 001 GEN 035 015 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Beth-el. 001 GEN 035 016 And they journeyed from Beth-el; and there was still some 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 unto her, Fear not; for now thou shalt have another son. 001 GEN 035 018 And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing (for she died), that she called his name Ben-oni: but his father called him Benjamin. 001 GEN 035 019 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath (the same is Beth-lehem). 001 GEN 035 020 And Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave: the same is the Pillar of Rachel’s grave unto this day. 001 GEN 035 021 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder. 001 GEN 035 022 And it came to pass, while Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine: and Israel heard of 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, which were born to him in Paddan-aram. 001 GEN 035 027 And Jacob came unto Isaac his father to Mamre, to Kiriath-arba (the same is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac sojourned. 001 GEN 035 028 And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years. 001 GEN 035 029 And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, old and full of days: and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him. 001 GEN 036 001 Now these are the generations of Esau (the same is Edom). 001 GEN 036 002 Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite; 001 GEN 036 003 and Basemath Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebaioth. 001 GEN 036 004 And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Basemath bare Reuel; 001 GEN 036 005 and Oholibamah bare Jeush, and Jalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan. 001 GEN 036 006 And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the souls of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his possessions, which he had gathered in the land of Canaan; and went into a land away from his brother Jacob. 001 GEN 036 007 For their substance was too great for them to dwell together; and the land of their sojournings could not bear them because of their cattle. 001 GEN 036 008 And Esau dwelt 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 Basemath 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 bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these are 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 Basemath Esau’s wife. 001 GEN 036 014 And these were the sons of Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon, Esau’s wife: and she bare to Esau Jeush, and Jalam, and Korah. 001 GEN 036 015 These are the dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz, 001 GEN 036 016 duke Korah, duke Gatam, duke Amalek: these are the dukes that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Adah. 001 GEN 036 017 And these are the sons of Reuel Esau’s son; duke Nahath, duke Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah: these are the dukes that came of Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Basemath Esau’s wife. 001 GEN 036 018 And these are the sons of Oholibamah Esau’s wife; duke Jeush, duke Jalam, duke Korah: these are the dukes that came of Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau’s wife. 001 GEN 036 019 These are the sons of Esau, and these are their dukes: the same is Edom. 001 GEN 036 020 These are the sons of Seir the Horite, the inhabitants of the land; Lotan and Shobal and Zibeon and Anah, 001 GEN 036 021 and Dishon and Ezer and Dishan: these are the dukes that came 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 these are the children of Shobal; Alvan and Manahath and Ebal, Shepho and Onam. 001 GEN 036 024 And these are the children of Zibeon; Aiah and Anah: this is Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father. 001 GEN 036 025 And these are the children of Anah; Dishon and Oholibamah 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 These are the children of Ezer; Bilhan and Zaavan and Akan. 001 GEN 036 028 These are the children of Dishan; Uz and Aran. 001 GEN 036 029 These are the dukes that came of the Horites; duke Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah, 001 GEN 036 030 duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan: these are the dukes that came of the Horites, according to their dukes 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 the Temanites 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 Shaul of Rehoboth by the River reigned in his stead. 001 GEN 036 038 And Shaul died, and Baal-hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead. 001 GEN 036 039 And Baal-hanan 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 Me-zahab. 001 GEN 036 040 And these are the names of the dukes that came of Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their names; duke Timna, duke Alvah, duke Jetheth; 001 GEN 036 041 duke Oholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon; 001 GEN 036 042 duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar; 001 GEN 036 043 duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these be the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession. This is Esau the father of the Edomites. 001 GEN 037 001 And Jacob dwelt in the land of his father’s sojournings, 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 he was a lad with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives: and Joseph brought the evil report of them unto their father. 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 his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren; and they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto 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 unto 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 came round about, 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 yet a dream; and, behold, the sun and the moon and 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 unto 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 kept the saying in mind. 001 GEN 037 012 And his brethren went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem. 001 GEN 037 013 And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I. 001 GEN 037 014 And he said to him, Go now, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flock; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of 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 are feeding [the flock]. 001 GEN 037 017 And the man said, They are departed hence: 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 they saw him afar off, and before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him. 001 GEN 037 019 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh. 001 GEN 037 020 Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, An evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams. 001 GEN 037 021 And Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand; and said, Let us not take his life. 001 GEN 037 022 And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood; cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand upon him: that he might deliver him out of their hand, to restore him to his father. 001 GEN 037 023 And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colours that was on him; 001 GEN 037 024 and they took him, and cast him into the 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 travelling company of Ishmaelites came from Gilead, with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt. 001 GEN 037 026 And Judah said unto 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 hearkened unto him. 001 GEN 037 028 And there passed by Midianites, merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up 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 unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes. 001 GEN 037 030 And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go? 001 GEN 037 031 And they took Joseph’s coat, and killed a he-goat, 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 be 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 rent his garments, and put sackcloth upon 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 to the grave to my son mourning. And his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585) 001 GEN 037 036 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the 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 Shua; and he took her, and went in unto her. 001 GEN 038 003 And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er. 001 GEN 038 004 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan. 001 GEN 038 005 And she yet again bare a son, and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him. 001 GEN 038 006 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her 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 unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and perform the duty of an husband’s brother unto 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 unto his brother’s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest he should give seed to his brother. 001 GEN 038 010 And the thing which he did was evil in the sight of the LORD: and he slew him also. 001 GEN 038 011 Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow in thy father’s house, till Shelah my son be grown up: for he said, Lest he also die, like his brethren. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father’s house. 001 GEN 038 012 And in process of time Shua’s daughter, the wife of Judah, died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite. 001 GEN 038 013 And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold, thy father in law goeth up to Timnah to shear his sheep. 001 GEN 038 014 And she put off from her the garments of her widowhood, and covered herself with her veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gate of Enaim, which is by the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she was not given unto him to wife. 001 GEN 038 015 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; for she had covered her face. 001 GEN 038 016 And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto 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 unto me? 001 GEN 038 017 And he said, I will send thee a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it? 001 GEN 038 018 And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet and thy cord, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave them to her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him. 001 GEN 038 019 And she arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood. 001 GEN 038 020 And Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman’s hand: but he found her not. 001 GEN 038 021 Then he asked the men of her place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was at Enaim by the way side? And they said, There hath been no harlot here. 001 GEN 038 022 And he returned to Judah, and said, I have not found her; and also the men of the place said, There hath been no harlot here. 001 GEN 038 023 And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be put to shame: 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 Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and moreover, behold, she is with child by whoredom. 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 the cords, and the staff. 001 GEN 038 026 And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She is more righteous than I; forasmuch as 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 one put out a 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, Wherefore hast thou made a breach for thyself? therefore his name was called Perez. 001 GEN 038 030 And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zerah. 001 GEN 039 001 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites, which had brought him down thither. 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 ministered unto 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 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 upon 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 knew not aught [that was] with him, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was comely, 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 unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master knoweth not what is with me in the house, and he hath put all that he hath into my hand; 001 GEN 039 009 there is none greater in this 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 spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, [or] to be with her. 001 GEN 039 011 And it came to pass about this time, that he 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 got him out. 001 GEN 039 013 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, 001 GEN 039 014 that she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto 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 lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled, and got him out. 001 GEN 039 016 And she laid up his garment by her, until his master came home. 001 GEN 039 017 And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me: 001 GEN 039 018 and it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled out. 001 GEN 039 019 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto 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, the 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 shewed kindness unto him, 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 whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it. 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 offended their lord the king of Egypt. 001 GEN 040 002 And Pharaoh was wroth against his two officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers. 001 GEN 040 003 And he put them in ward 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 ministered unto them: and they continued a season in ward. 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, which were bound in the prison. 001 GEN 040 006 And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and saw them, and, behold, they were sad. 001 GEN 040 007 And he asked Pharaoh’s officers that were with him in ward in his master’s house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day? 001 GEN 040 008 And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell it me, 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 in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, [and] its blossoms shot forth; [and] the clusters thereof 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 unto him, This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days; 001 GEN 040 013 within yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thine office: and thou shalt give Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler. 001 GEN 040 014 But have me in thy remembrance when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house: 001 GEN 040 015 for indeed I was stolen away out of 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 unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head: 001 GEN 040 017 and in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head. 001 GEN 040 018 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: the three baskets are three days; 001 GEN 040 019 within yet 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 unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and the head of the chief baker among his servants. 001 GEN 040 021 And he restored the chief butler unto 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 did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat 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 kine, well favoured and fatfleshed; and they fed in the reed-grass. 001 GEN 041 003 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river. 001 GEN 041 004 And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke. 001 GEN 041 005 And he slept and dreamed a second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good. 001 GEN 041 006 And, behold, seven ears, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them. 001 GEN 041 007 And the thin ears swallowed up the seven rank 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 the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh. 001 GEN 041 009 Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day: 001 GEN 041 010 Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, 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 with us there 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 did interpret. 001 GEN 041 013 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine 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 in unto Pharaoh. 001 GEN 041 015 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that when thou hearest a dream thou canst 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 spake unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the brink of the river: 001 GEN 041 018 and, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in the reed-grass: 001 GEN 041 019 and, behold, seven other kine came up 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 ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine: 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 upon one stalk, full and good: 001 GEN 041 023 and, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, [and] blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them: 001 GEN 041 024 and the thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears: and I told it unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me. 001 GEN 041 025 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: what God is about to do he hath declared unto Pharaoh. 001 GEN 041 026 The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one. 001 GEN 041 027 And the seven lean and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind; they shall be seven years of famine. 001 GEN 041 028 That is the thing which I spake unto Pharaoh: what God is about to do he hath shewed unto 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 that famine which followeth; for it shall be very grievous. 001 GEN 041 032 And for that the dream was doubled unto 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 overseers 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 these good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it. 001 GEN 041 036 And the food shall be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not 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 unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom the spirit of God is? 001 GEN 041 039 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou: 001 GEN 041 040 thou shalt be over my house, and according unto 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 unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. 001 GEN 041 042 And Pharaoh took off his signet 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 set him over all the land of Egypt. 001 GEN 041 044 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt. 001 GEN 041 045 And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-phera priest of On. And Joseph went out over 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 up 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 round about every city, laid he up in the same. 001 GEN 041 049 And Joseph laid up corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number. 001 GEN 041 050 And unto Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Poti-phera priest of On bare unto him. 001 GEN 041 051 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For, [said he], God 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 made me fruitful in the land of my affliction. 001 GEN 041 053 And the seven years of plenty, that was in the land of Egypt, came to an end. 001 GEN 041 054 And the seven years of famine began to come, according as Joseph had said: and there was famine 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 unto all the Egyptians, Go unto 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 unto the Egyptians; and the famine was sore in the land of Egypt. 001 GEN 041 057 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because the famine was sore in all the earth. 001 GEN 042 001 Now Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, and Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another? 001 GEN 042 002 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die. 001 GEN 042 003 And Joseph’s ten brethren went down to buy corn from Egypt. 001 GEN 042 004 But Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him. 001 GEN 042 005 And the sons of Israel came to buy 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; he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph’s brethren came, and bowed down themselves to him with their faces to the earth. 001 GEN 042 007 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly with them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? 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 unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come. 001 GEN 042 010 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come. 001 GEN 042 011 We are all one man’s sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies. 001 GEN 042 012 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come. 001 GEN 042 013 And they said, We 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 unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies: 001 GEN 042 015 hereby ye shall be proved: by the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither. 001 GEN 042 016 Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be bound, that your words may be proved, whether there be 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 ward three days. 001 GEN 042 018 And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God: 001 GEN 042 019 if ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in your prison house; but go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses: 001 GEN 042 020 and bring your youngest brother unto 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 distress 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, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore also, behold, his blood is required. 001 GEN 042 023 And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for there was an interpreter between them. 001 GEN 042 024 And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and he returned to them, and spake to them, and took Simeon from among them, and bound him before their eyes. 001 GEN 042 025 Then Joseph commanded to fill their vessels with corn, and to restore every man’s money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus was it done unto them. 001 GEN 042 026 And they laded their asses with their corn, and departed thence. 001 GEN 042 027 And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the lodging place, he espied his money; and, behold, it was in the mouth of his sack. 001 GEN 042 028 And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they turned trembling one to another, saying, What is this that God hath done unto us? 001 GEN 042 029 And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that had befallen them; saying, 001 GEN 042 030 The man, the lord of the land, spake roughly with us, and took us for spies of the country. 001 GEN 042 031 And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies: 001 GEN 042 032 we be 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 land, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren with me, and take [corn for] the famine of your houses, and go your way: 001 GEN 042 034 and bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffick 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 their bundles of money, they were afraid. 001 GEN 042 036 And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: 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 spake unto 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 only is left: if mischief befall him by the way in the 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 sore in the land. 001 GEN 043 002 And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little food. 001 GEN 043 003 And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto 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 unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you. 001 GEN 043 006 And Israel said, Wherefore 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 straitly concerning ourselves, and concerning 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 in any wise know that he would say, Bring your brother down? 001 GEN 043 008 And Judah said unto 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 unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever: 001 GEN 043 010 for except we had lingered, surely we had now returned a second time. 001 GEN 043 011 And their father Israel said unto them, If it be so now, do this; take of the choice fruits of the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spicery 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 again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight: 001 GEN 043 013 take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man: 001 GEN 043 014 and God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may release unto you your other brother and Benjamin. And 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 rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph. 001 GEN 043 016 And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, Bring the men into the house, and slay, and make ready; for the men shall dine with me at noon. 001 GEN 043 017 And the man did as Joseph bade; 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 bondmen, and our asses. 001 GEN 043 019 And they came near to the steward of Joseph’s house, and they spake unto him at the door of the house, 001 GEN 043 020 and said, Oh my lord, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food: 001 GEN 043 021 and it came to pass, when we came to the lodging place, 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 hand to buy food: we know not 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 unto 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 asses provender. 001 GEN 043 025 And they made ready the present against Joseph came 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 down 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 spake? Is he yet alive? 001 GEN 043 028 And they said, Thy servant our father is well, he is yet alive. And they bowed the head, and made obeisance. 001 GEN 043 029 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw Benjamin his brother, his mother’s son, and said, Is this your youngest brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son. 001 GEN 043 030 And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon 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 came out; and he refrained 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, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto 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 marveled one with another. 001 GEN 043 034 And he took [and sent] messes unto 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 corn 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 asses. 001 GEN 044 004 [And] when they were gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good? 001 GEN 044 005 Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby he indeed divineth? ye have done evil in so doing. 001 GEN 044 006 And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these words. 001 GEN 044 007 And they said unto him, Wherefore speaketh my lord such words as these? God forbid that thy servants should do such a thing. 001 GEN 044 008 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord’s house silver or gold? 001 GEN 044 009 With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, let him die, and we also will be my lord’s bondmen. 001 GEN 044 010 And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my bondman; and ye shall be blameless. 001 GEN 044 011 Then they hasted, and 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 left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack. 001 GEN 044 013 Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city. 001 GEN 044 014 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph’s house; and he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground. 001 GEN 044 015 And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? know ye not that such a man as I can indeed divine? 001 GEN 044 016 And Judah said, What shall we say unto 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 bondmen, both we, and he also in whose hand the cup is found. 001 GEN 044 017 And he said, God forbid that I should do so: the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my bondman; but as for you, get you up in peace unto your father. 001 GEN 044 018 Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord’s ears, and let not thine 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 unto 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 unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him. 001 GEN 044 022 And we said unto 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 unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more. 001 GEN 044 024 And it came to pass when we came up unto 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 be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man’s face, except our youngest brother be with us. 001 GEN 044 027 And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare 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 one also from me, and mischief 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 be 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 unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then shall I bear the blame to my father for ever. 001 GEN 044 033 Now therefore, let thy servant, I pray thee, abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren. 001 GEN 044 034 For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest I see the evil that shall come on my father. 001 GEN 045 001 Then Joseph could not refrain 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 unto his brethren. 001 GEN 045 002 And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard. 001 GEN 045 003 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence. 001 GEN 045 004 And Joseph said unto 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 And now be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life. 001 GEN 045 006 For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and there are yet five years, in the which there shall be neither plowing nor harvest. 001 GEN 045 007 And God sent me before you to preserve you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance. 001 GEN 045 008 So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt. 001 GEN 045 009 Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not: 001 GEN 045 010 and thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto 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 there are yet five years of famine; lest thou come to poverty, thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast. 001 GEN 045 012 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto 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 hither. 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 And he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him. 001 GEN 045 016 And the fame thereof 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 unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan; 001 GEN 045 018 and take your father and your households, and come unto 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 you wagons out of 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 stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours. 001 GEN 045 021 And the sons 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 asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses laden with corn and bread and victual for his father by the way. 001 GEN 045 024 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way. 001 GEN 045 025 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father. 001 GEN 045 026 And they told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt. And his heart fainted, for he believed them not. 001 GEN 045 027 And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto 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 Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac. 001 GEN 046 002 And God spake unto 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 Beer-sheba: 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 gotten 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, which came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn. 001 GEN 046 009 And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Pallu, 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 Perez, and Zerah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul. 001 GEN 046 013 And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Puvah, and Iob, 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 bare unto Jacob in Paddan-aram, 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; Imnah, and Ishvah, and Ishvi, and Beriah, and Serah their sister: and the sons of Beriah; Heber, and Malchiel. 001 GEN 046 018 These are the sons of Zilpah, which Laban gave to Leah his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls. 001 GEN 046 019 The sons of Rachel Jacob’s wife; Joseph and Benjamin. 001 GEN 046 020 And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Poti-phera priest of On bare unto him. 001 GEN 046 021 And the sons of Benjamin; Bela, 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, which 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, which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob: all the souls were seven. 001 GEN 046 026 All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob’s sons’ wives, all the souls were threescore and six; 001 GEN 046 027 and the sons of Joseph, which were born to him in Egypt, were two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten. 001 GEN 046 028 And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to shew the way before him unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen. 001 GEN 046 029 And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen; and he presented himself unto him, and fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while. 001 GEN 046 030 And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, that thou art yet alive. 001 GEN 046 031 And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father’s house, I will go up, and tell Pharaoh, and will say unto him, My brethren, and my father’s house, which were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me; 001 GEN 046 032 and the men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of 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, Thy servants have been keepers of cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians. 001 GEN 047 001 Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen. 001 GEN 047 002 And from among his brethren he took five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh. 001 GEN 047 003 And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers. 001 GEN 047 004 And they said unto Pharaoh, To sojourn in the land are we come; for there is no pasture for thy servants’ flocks; for the famine is sore 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 spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee: 001 GEN 047 006 the land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and thy 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 unto Jacob, How many are the days of the years of thy life? 001 GEN 047 009 And Jacob said unto 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, and they have not attained unto 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 the presence of 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 sore, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine. 001 GEN 047 014 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house. 001 GEN 047 015 And when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for [our] money faileth. 001 GEN 047 016 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail. 001 GEN 047 017 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread in exchange for all their cattle for that year. 001 GEN 047 018 And when that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide from my lord, how that our money is all spent; and the herds of cattle are my lord’s; there is nought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands: 001 GEN 047 019 wherefore should we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land be not desolate. 001 GEN 047 020 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine was sore upon them: and the land became Pharaoh’s. 001 GEN 047 021 And as for the people, he removed them to the cities from one end of the border of Egypt even to the other end thereof. 001 GEN 047 022 Only the land of the priests bought he not: for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them; wherefore they sold not their land. 001 GEN 047 023 Then Joseph said unto 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 at the ingatherings, that ye shall give a fifth unto 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 statute concerning the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth; only the land of the priests alone became not Pharaoh’s. 001 GEN 047 027 And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they gat them possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly. 001 GEN 047 028 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were an hundred 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 unto 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 when I sleep with my fathers, 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 unto me: and he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed’s head. 001 GEN 048 001 And it came to pass after these things, that one said to 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 unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed. 001 GEN 048 003 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me, 001 GEN 048 004 and said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a company of peoples; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession. 001 GEN 048 005 And now thy two sons, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh, even as Reuben and Simeon, shall be mine. 001 GEN 048 006 And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine; they shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance. 001 GEN 048 007 And as for me, when I came from Paddan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when there was still some way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way to Ephrath (the same is Beth-lehem). 001 GEN 048 008 And Israel beheld Joseph’s sons, and said, Who are these? 001 GEN 048 009 And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me here. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto 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 unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them. 001 GEN 048 011 And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath let me see thy seed also. 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 unto 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 wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn. 001 GEN 048 015 And he blessed Joseph, and said, The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which hath fed me all my life long unto this day, 001 GEN 048 016 the angel which 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 held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head unto Manasseh’s head. 001 GEN 048 018 And Joseph said unto 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: howbeit 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 unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto 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 unto his sons, and said: Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the latter days. 001 GEN 049 002 Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; And hearken unto 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 have the excellency; Because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed: Then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch. 001 GEN 049 005 Simeon and Levi are brethren; Weapons of violence are their swords. 001 GEN 049 006 O my soul, come not thou into their council; Unto their assembly, my glory, be not thou united; For in their anger they slew a man, And in their selfwill they houghed an ox. 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, thee shall thy brethren praise: Thy hand shall be on the neck of thine enemies; Thy father’s sons shall bow down before thee. 001 GEN 049 009 Judah is a lion’s whelp; From the prey, my son, thou art gone up: He stooped down, he couched as a lion, And as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? 001 GEN 049 010 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, Until Shiloh come; And unto him shall the obedience of the peoples be. 001 GEN 049 011 Binding his foal unto the vine, And his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; He hath washed his garments in wine, And his vesture 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 upon Zidon. 001 GEN 049 014 Issachar is a strong ass, Couching down between the sheepfolds: 001 GEN 049 015 And he saw a resting place that it was good, And the land that it was pleasant; And he bowed his shoulder to bear, And became a servant under taskwork. 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 in the way, An adder in the path, That biteth the horse’s heels, So that his rider falleth backward. 001 GEN 049 018 I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD. 001 GEN 049 019 Gad, a troop shall press upon him: But he shall press upon their heel. 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, A fruitful bough by a fountain; His branches run over the wall. 001 GEN 049 023 The archers have sorely grieved him, And shot at him, and persecuted 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 One of Jacob, (From thence 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 coucheth 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 progenitors Unto 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 is a wolf that ravineth: In the morning he shall devour the prey, And at even he shall divide the spoil. 001 GEN 049 028 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their father spake unto them and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them. 001 GEN 049 029 And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto 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 from 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 field and the cave that is therein, which was purchased from the children of Heth. 001 GEN 049 033 And when Jacob made an end of charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto 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 embalming: and the Egyptians wept for him threescore and ten days. 001 GEN 050 004 And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spake unto 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 digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, 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 up 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 up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company. 001 GEN 050 010 And they came to the threshing-floor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they lamented with a very great and sore 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 floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abel-mizraim, which is beyond Jordan. 001 GEN 050 012 And his sons did unto 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 into 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, It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully requite us all the evil which we did unto him. 001 GEN 050 016 And they sent a message unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying, 001 GEN 050 017 So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the transgression of thy brethren, and their sin, for that they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him. 001 GEN 050 018 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants. 001 GEN 050 019 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? 001 GEN 050 020 And as for you, ye meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. 001 GEN 050 021 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto 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 born upon Joseph’s knees. 001 GEN 050 024 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land unto the land which he sware 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 hence. 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 sons of Israel, which 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 came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: and 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 waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them. 002 EXO 001 008 Now there arose a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph. 002 EXO 001 009 And he said unto 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 come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they also join themselves unto our enemies, and fight against us, and get them up out of the land. 002 EXO 001 011 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh store cities, Pithom and Raamses. 002 EXO 001 012 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad. 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 service, in mortar and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field, all their service, wherein they made them serve with rigour. 002 EXO 001 015 And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the 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 birthstool; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him; but if it 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 men children alive. 002 EXO 001 018 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive? 002 EXO 001 019 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwife come unto them. 002 EXO 001 020 And God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty. 002 EXO 001 021 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses. 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 took to wife a daughter of Levi. 002 EXO 002 002 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. 002 EXO 002 003 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch; and she put the child therein, and 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 bathe at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river side; and she saw the ark among the flags, and sent her handmaid to fetch it. 002 EXO 002 006 And she opened it, and 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 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 unto 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 it. 002 EXO 002 010 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, and 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 up, that he went out unto 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 smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. 002 EXO 002 013 And he went out the second day, and, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow? 002 EXO 002 014 And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? thinkest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely the 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 today? 002 EXO 002 019 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock. 002 EXO 002 020 And he said unto 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 bare a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a sojourner in a strange land. 002 EXO 002 023 And it came to pass in the course of those many days, 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 unto 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 saw the children of Israel, and God took knowledge [of them]. 002 EXO 003 001 Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to the mountain of God, unto Horeb. 002 EXO 003 002 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto 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 turn aside now, 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 unto 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, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon 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 which 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 out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. 002 EXO 003 009 And now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: moreover I have seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. 002 EXO 003 010 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt. 002 EXO 003 011 And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto 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 the token unto 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 unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 002 EXO 003 014 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 002 EXO 003 015 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. 002 EXO 003 016 Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, hath appeared unto 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 unto the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, unto 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, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, hath met with us: and now let us go, we pray thee, three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God. 002 EXO 003 019 And I know that the king of Egypt will not give you leave to go, no, not by a mighty hand. 002 EXO 003 020 And I will put forth my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: 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 sojourneth 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 spoil the Egyptians. 002 EXO 004 001 And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee. 002 EXO 004 002 And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine 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 unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail: (and he put forth his hand, and laid hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand: ) 002 EXO 004 005 that they may believe that the LORD, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee. 002 EXO 004 006 And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, as [white as] snow. 002 EXO 004 007 And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. (And he put his hand into his bosom again; and when he took it out of his bosom, 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 even these two signs, neither hearken unto 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 unto the LORD, Oh Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. 002 EXO 004 011 And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh [a man] dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? is it not I the LORD? 002 EXO 004 012 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt speak. 002 EXO 004 013 And he said, Oh 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 there not Aaron thy brother the Levite? 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 unto him, and put the 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 be thy spokesman unto the people: and it shall come to pass, that he shall be to thee a mouth, and thou shalt be to him as God. 002 EXO 004 017 And thou shalt take in thine hand this rod, wherewith thou shalt do the signs. 002 EXO 004 018 And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace. 002 EXO 004 019 And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life. 002 EXO 004 020 And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, 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 unto Moses, When thou goest back into Egypt, see that thou do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, and he will not let the people go. 002 EXO 004 022 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, my firstborn: 002 EXO 004 023 and I have said unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me; and thou hast refused to let him go: behold, I will slay thy son, thy firstborn. 002 EXO 004 024 And it came to pass on the way at the lodging place, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him. 002 EXO 004 025 Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet; and she said, Surely a bridegroom of blood art thou to me. 002 EXO 004 026 So he let him alone. Then she said, A bridegroom of blood [art thou], 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 mountain of God, and kissed him. 002 EXO 004 028 And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD wherewith he had sent him, and all the signs wherewith he had charged 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 spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did 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 seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped. 002 EXO 005 001 And afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness. 002 EXO 005 002 And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should hearken unto his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, and moreover I will not 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 wilderness, and sacrifice unto 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 unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, loose the people from their works? get you unto your burdens. 002 EXO 005 005 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land are now many, and ye make them rest from their burdens. 002 EXO 005 006 And the same day Pharaoh commanded 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 heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves. 002 EXO 005 008 And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish aught thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God. 002 EXO 005 009 Let heavier work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard lying words. 002 EXO 005 010 And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw. 002 EXO 005 011 Go yourselves, get you straw where ye can find it: for nought 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 for straw. 002 EXO 005 013 And the taskmasters were urgent, saying, Fulfill 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, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task both yesterday and today, in making brick as heretofore? 002 EXO 005 015 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants? 002 EXO 005 016 There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in thine 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 tale of bricks. 002 EXO 005 019 And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil case, when it was said, Ye shall not minish aught from your bricks, [your] daily tasks. 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 unto them, The LORD look upon you, and judge; because ye have made our savour to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us. 002 EXO 005 022 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou evil entreated 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 evil entreated this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all. 002 EXO 006 001 And the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for by a strong hand shall he let them go, and by a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land. 002 EXO 006 002 And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am JEHOVAH: 002 EXO 006 003 and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH I was 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 sojournings, wherein they sojourned. 002 EXO 006 005 And moreover I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant. 002 EXO 006 006 Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am Jehovah, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out 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 Jehovah your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 002 EXO 006 008 And I will bring you in unto the land concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am Jehovah. 002 EXO 006 009 And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage. 002 EXO 006 010 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 002 EXO 006 011 Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land. 002 EXO 006 012 And Moses spake before the LORD, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips? 002 EXO 006 013 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto 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 fathers’ 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 thirty and seven years. 002 EXO 006 017 The sons of Gershon; Libni and Shimei, 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 thirty and three years. 002 EXO 006 019 And the sons of Merari; Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their generations. 002 EXO 006 020 And Amram took him Jochebed his father’s sister to wife; and she bare 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 Sithri. 002 EXO 006 023 And Aaron took him Elisheba, the daughter of Amminadab, the sister of Nahshon, to wife; and she bare 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 Korahites. 002 EXO 006 025 And Eleazar Aaron’s son took him one of the daughters of Putiel to wife; and she bare him Phinehas. These are the heads of the fathers’ [houses] 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 hosts. 002 EXO 006 027 These are they which spake 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 spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt, 002 EXO 006 029 that the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I am the LORD: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I speak unto thee. 002 EXO 006 030 And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me? 002 EXO 007 001 And the LORD said unto 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 unto Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go 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 will not hearken unto you, and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my hosts, 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 mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them. 002 EXO 007 006 And Moses and Aaron did so; as the LORD commanded them, so did they. 002 EXO 007 007 And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh. 002 EXO 007 008 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 002 EXO 007 009 When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a wonder for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it become a serpent. 002 EXO 007 010 And Moses and Aaron went in unto 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 for the wise men and the sorcerers: and they also, the magicians of Egypt, 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 Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken. 002 EXO 007 014 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh’s heart is stubborn, he refuseth to let the people go. 002 EXO 007 015 Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto 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 thine hand. 002 EXO 007 016 And thou shalt say unto him, The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou hast not hearkened. 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 mine 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 loathe to drink water from the river. 002 EXO 007 019 And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over all their ponds of water, that they may become blood; and there shall 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 to blood. 002 EXO 007 021 And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river; and the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 007 022 And the magicians of Egypt did in like manner with their enchantments: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken. 002 EXO 007 023 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he lay even this to heart. 002 EXO 007 024 And all the Egyptians digged round about 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 spake unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me. 002 EXO 008 002 And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs: 002 EXO 008 003 and the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs: 002 EXO 008 004 and the frogs shall come up both upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants. 002 EXO 008 005 And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 008 006 And Aaron stretched out 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 in like manner 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 take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice unto the LORD. 002 EXO 008 009 And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Have thou this glory over me: against what time shall I entreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, that the frogs be destroyed from thee and thy houses, and remain in the river only? 002 EXO 008 010 And he said, Against tomorrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto 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 unto the LORD concerning the frogs which he had brought upon 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 courts, 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 unto them; as the LORD had spoken. 002 EXO 008 016 And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 008 017 And they did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and there were lice upon man, and upon beast; all the dust of the earth 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: and there were lice upon man, and upon beast. 002 EXO 008 019 Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken. 002 EXO 008 020 And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto 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 whereon they are. 002 EXO 008 022 And I will sever 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: by tomorrow shall this sign be. 002 EXO 008 024 And the LORD did so; and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants’ houses: and in all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms 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 meet 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, tomorrow: only 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 this time also, and he did not let the people go. 002 EXO 009 001 Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me. 002 EXO 009 002 For if thou 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 is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the herds, and upon the flocks: [there shall be] a very grievous murrain. 002 EXO 009 004 And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that belongeth to the children of Israel. 002 EXO 009 005 And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, Tomorrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land. 002 EXO 009 006 And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, 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 so much as one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he did not let the people go. 002 EXO 009 008 And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh. 002 EXO 009 009 And it shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains 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 up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man and upon beast. 002 EXO 009 011 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians. 002 EXO 009 012 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses. 002 EXO 009 013 And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me. 002 EXO 009 014 For I will this time send all my plagues upon thine 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 had put forth my hand, and smitten thee and thy people with pestilence, and thou hadst been cut off from the earth: 002 EXO 009 016 but in very deed for this cause have I made thee to stand, for to shew thee my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth. 002 EXO 009 017 As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go? 002 EXO 009 018 Behold, tomorrow 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 Now therefore send, hasten in thy cattle and all that thou hast in the field; [for] 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 unto Moses, Stretch forth thine 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 fire ran down unto the earth; 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 had not been 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 brake every tree of the field. 002 EXO 009 026 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail. 002 EXO 009 027 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto 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 there hath been enough of [these] mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer. 002 EXO 009 029 And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; the thunders shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know 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 bolled. 002 EXO 009 032 But the wheat and the spelt 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 unto 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 were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants. 002 EXO 009 035 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses. 002 EXO 010 001 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs in the midst of them: 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 upon Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know that I am the LORD. 002 EXO 010 003 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, the 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 refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow will I bring locusts into thy border: 002 EXO 010 005 and they shall cover the face of the earth, that one shall not be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field: 002 EXO 010 006 and thy houses shall be filled, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; as neither thy fathers nor thy fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned, and went out from Pharaoh. 002 EXO 010 007 And Pharaoh’s servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto 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 unto Pharaoh: and he said unto 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 unto the LORD. 002 EXO 010 010 And he said unto them, So be the LORD 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 is what ye desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence. 002 EXO 010 012 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up 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 the 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 borders 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 did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing, either tree or herb 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 an exceeding strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea; there remained not one locust in all the border of Egypt. 002 EXO 010 020 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go. 002 EXO 010 021 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine 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 unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you. 002 EXO 010 025 And Moses said, Thou must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God. 002 EXO 010 026 Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our God; and we know not with what we must serve the LORD, until we come thither. 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 unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in the 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 unto Moses, Yet one plague more will I bring upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether. 002 EXO 011 002 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let them ask every man 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 unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of cattle. 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 that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel. 002 EXO 011 008 And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in hot anger. 002 EXO 011 009 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh will not hearken unto 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, and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land. 002 EXO 012 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, 002 EXO 012 002 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. 002 EXO 012 003 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth [day] of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for an household: 002 EXO 012 004 and if the household be too little for a lamb, then shall he and his neighbour next unto his house take one according to the number of the souls; according to every man’s eating ye 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 up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at even. 002 EXO 012 007 And they shall take of the blood, and put it on the two side posts and on the lintel, upon the houses wherein they shall eat it. 002 EXO 012 008 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter herbs they shall eat it. 002 EXO 012 009 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; its head with its legs and with the inwards thereof. 002 EXO 012 010 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remaineth of it until 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 go through the land of Egypt in that 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 judgments: 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 there shall no plague be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 012 014 And this day shall be unto 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 whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. 002 EXO 012 016 And in the first day there shall be to you an holy convocation, and in the seventh day an holy convocation; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you. 002 EXO 012 017 And ye shall observe the [feast of] unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance for ever. 002 EXO 012 018 In the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even. 002 EXO 012 019 Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a sojourner, or one that is 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 unto them, Draw out, and take you lambs 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 bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until 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 suffer the destroyer to come in unto 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 be 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 unto you, What mean ye 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 and did so; as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. 002 EXO 012 029 And it came to pass at midnight, that the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. 002 EXO 012 030 And Pharaoh rose up 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, Rise up, get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said. 002 EXO 012 032 Take both 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, to send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be 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 let them have what they asked. And they spoiled 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, beside children. 002 EXO 012 038 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle. 002 EXO 012 039 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual. 002 EXO 012 040 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, which they sojourned in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. 002 EXO 012 041 And it came to pass at the end of four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 012 042 It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD, to be much observed of all the children of Israel throughout their generations. 002 EXO 012 043 And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: there shall no alien eat thereof: 002 EXO 012 044 but every man’s servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof. 002 EXO 012 045 A sojourner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof. 002 EXO 012 046 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth aught of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof. 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: but no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. 002 EXO 012 049 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto 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 selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts. 002 EXO 013 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 002 EXO 013 002 Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine. 002 EXO 013 003 And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which 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 ye go forth in the month Abib. 002 EXO 013 005 And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which he sware unto 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 thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD. 002 EXO 013 007 Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee, in all thy borders. 002 EXO 013 008 And thou shalt tell thy son in that day, saying, It is because of that which the LORD did for me when I came forth out of Egypt. 002 EXO 013 009 And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the law of the LORD 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 Canaanite, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee, 002 EXO 013 012 that thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the womb, and every firstling which thou hast that cometh of a beast; the males shall be the LORD’S. 002 EXO 013 013 And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break its neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy sons 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 unto 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 beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the womb, being males; but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem. 002 EXO 013 016 And it shall be for a sign upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine 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 by the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt: 002 EXO 013 018 but God led the people about, by the way of the wilderness by the Red Sea: and the children of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 013 019 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence 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 cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; that they might go by day and by night: 002 EXO 013 022 the pillar of cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night, departed not from before the people. 002 EXO 014 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 002 EXO 014 002 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal-zephon: over against it shall ye encamp by the sea. 002 EXO 014 003 And 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, and he shall follow after them; and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; and the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD. And they did so. 002 EXO 014 005 And it was told the king of Egypt that the people were fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed towards the people, and they said, What is this we have done, 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 all of them. 002 EXO 014 008 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel, for the children of Israel went out with an high hand. 002 EXO 014 009 And the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses [and] chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon. 002 EXO 014 010 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD. 002 EXO 014 011 And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to bring us forth out of Egypt? 002 EXO 014 012 Is not this the word that we spake unto thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it were better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness. 002 EXO 014 013 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will work for you today: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, 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 unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward. 002 EXO 014 016 And lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go into the midst of the sea on dry ground. 002 EXO 014 017 And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. 002 EXO 014 018 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. 002 EXO 014 019 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud removed from before them, and stood behind them: 002 EXO 014 020 and it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud and the darkness, yet gave it light by night: and 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 the 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 unto them on their right hand, and on their left. 002 EXO 014 023 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. 002 EXO 014 024 And it came to pass in the morning watch, that the LORD looked forth upon the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and discomfited the host of the Egyptians. 002 EXO 014 025 And he took off their chariot wheels, that they drave 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 unto Moses, Stretch out thine 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, even all the host of Pharaoh that went in after them into the sea; 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 unto them on their right hand, and on their left. 002 EXO 014 030 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore. 002 EXO 014 031 And Israel saw the great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians, and the people feared the LORD: and they believed in the LORD, and in his servant Moses. 002 EXO 015 001 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto 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: This is my God, and I will praise him; 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: And his chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea. 002 EXO 015 005 The deeps cover them: They went down into the depths like a stone. 002 EXO 015 006 Thy right hand, O LORD, is glorious in power, Thy right hand, O LORD, dasheth in pieces the enemy. 002 EXO 015 007 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou overthrowest them that rise up against thee: Thou sendest forth thy wrath, it consumeth them as stubble. 002 EXO 015 008 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were piled up, The floods stood upright as an heap; The deeps 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 unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders? 002 EXO 015 012 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, The earth swallowed them. 002 EXO 015 013 Thou in thy mercy hast led the people which thou hast redeemed: Thou hast guided them in thy strength to thy holy habitation. 002 EXO 015 014 The peoples have heard, they tremble: Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia. 002 EXO 015 015 Then were the dukes of Edom amazed; The mighty men of Moab, trembling taketh hold upon them: All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away. 002 EXO 015 016 Terror and dread falleth upon them; By the greatness of thine arm they are as still as a stone; Till thy people pass over, O LORD, Till the people pass over which thou hast purchased. 002 EXO 015 017 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, The place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell 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 horses 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 walked 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 And Moses led Israel onward 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 unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, and he cast it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them; 002 EXO 015 026 and he said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his eyes, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases upon thee, which I have put upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee. 002 EXO 015 027 And they came to Elim, where were twelve springs of water, and threescore and ten 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 unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 016 002 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness: 002 EXO 016 003 and the children of Israel said unto them, Would that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, when we did eat 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 unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no. 002 EXO 016 005 And it shall come to pass on the sixth day, that 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 unto all the children of Israel, At even, 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 said unto Aaron, Say unto 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 spake unto 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 spake unto Moses, saying, 002 EXO 016 012 I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even 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 at even, that the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the camp. 002 EXO 016 014 And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness a small round thing, 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, What is it? for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, It 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 ye of it every man according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, shall ye take it, every man for them which are in his tent. 002 EXO 016 017 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less. 002 EXO 016 018 And when they did mete 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 unto them, Let no man leave of it till the morning. 002 EXO 016 020 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them. 002 EXO 016 021 And they gathered it morning by morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed 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 each one: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses. 002 EXO 016 023 And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath spoken, Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake, and seethe that which ye will seethe; and all that 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 bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein. 002 EXO 016 025 And Moses said, Eat that today; for today is a sabbath unto the LORD: today ye shall not find it in the field. 002 EXO 016 026 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day is the sabbath, in it there shall be none. 002 EXO 016 027 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that there went out some of the people for to gather, and they found none. 002 EXO 016 028 And the LORD said unto 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 the name thereof 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 hath commanded, Let an omerful of it be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 016 033 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omerful of manna therein, 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 did eat the manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat the manna, until they came unto 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, by their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink. 002 EXO 017 002 Wherefore the people strove with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why strive ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD? 002 EXO 017 003 And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore hast thou brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst? 002 EXO 017 004 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me. 002 EXO 017 005 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pass on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go. 002 EXO 017 006 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water 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 unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine 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 thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed 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 discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. 002 EXO 017 014 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: that 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 Jehovah-nissi: 002 EXO 017 016 and he said, The LORD hath sworn: the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation. 002 EXO 018 001 Now Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father in law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, how that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt. 002 EXO 018 002 And Jethro, Moses’ father in law, took Zipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her away, 002 EXO 018 003 and her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been a sojourner in a strange land: 002 EXO 018 004 and the name of the other was Eliezer; for [he said], The God of my father 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 unto Moses into the wilderness where he was encamped, at the mount of God: 002 EXO 018 006 and he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto 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 unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, 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, in that he had delivered them 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: yea, in the thing wherein they dealt proudly against 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 morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood about Moses from the morning unto 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 about thee from morning unto even? 002 EXO 018 015 And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to inquire of God: 002 EXO 018 016 when they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between a man and his neighbour, and I make them know the statutes of God, and his laws. 002 EXO 018 017 And Moses’ father in law said unto 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 the thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone. 002 EXO 018 019 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God be with thee: be thou for the people to God-ward, and bring thou the causes unto God: 002 EXO 018 020 and thou shalt teach them the statutes and the laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein 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 unjust gain; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, 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 unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge themselves: 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 also shall 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 unto 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 after the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai. 002 EXO 019 002 And when they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the wilderness of Sinai, they pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount. 002 EXO 019 003 And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of 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 unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself. 002 EXO 019 005 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me from among all peoples: for all the earth is mine: 002 EXO 019 006 and ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. 002 EXO 019 007 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them 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 reported the words of the people unto the LORD. 002 EXO 019 009 And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and may also believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD. 002 EXO 019 010 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments, 002 EXO 019 011 and be ready against the third day: for 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 unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death: 002 EXO 019 013 no hand shall touch him, 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 unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their garments. 002 EXO 019 015 And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not near a woman. 002 EXO 019 016 And it came to pass on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of a trumpet exceeding loud; and 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 God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. 002 EXO 019 018 And mount Sinai was altogether on smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. 002 EXO 019 019 And when the voice of the trumpet waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice. 002 EXO 019 020 And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, to 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 unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish. 002 EXO 019 022 And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them. 002 EXO 019 023 And Moses said unto 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 unto him, Go, get thee down; and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them. 002 EXO 019 025 So Moses went down unto the people, and told them. 002 EXO 020 001 And God spake all these words, saying, 002 EXO 020 002 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 002 EXO 020 003 Thou shalt have none other gods before me. 002 EXO 020 004 Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor [the likeness of] any form 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 unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me; 002 EXO 020 006 and shewing mercy unto 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 a sabbath unto the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, 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 in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore 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 do no murder. 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 manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s. 002 EXO 020 018 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voice 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 unto 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 unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye sin not. 002 EXO 020 021 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was. 002 EXO 020 022 And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. 002 EXO 020 023 Ye shall not make [other gods] with me; gods of silver, or gods of gold, ye shall not make unto you. 002 EXO 020 024 An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in every place where I record my name I will come unto thee and I will bless thee. 002 EXO 020 025 And if thou make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. 002 EXO 020 026 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon. 002 EXO 021 001 Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them. 002 EXO 021 002 If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. 002 EXO 021 003 If he come in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he be married, then his wife shall go out with him. 002 EXO 021 004 If his master give him a wife, and she bear him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out by himself. 002 EXO 021 005 But if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free: 002 EXO 021 006 then his master shall bring him unto God, and shall bring him to the door, or unto 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 sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do. 002 EXO 021 008 If she please not her master, who hath espoused her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange people he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her. 002 EXO 021 009 And if he espouse her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters. 002 EXO 021 010 If he take him another [wife]; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish. 002 EXO 021 011 And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out for nothing, without money. 002 EXO 021 012 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall surely be put to death. 002 EXO 021 013 And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver [him] into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee. 002 EXO 021 014 And if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine 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 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, and one smiteth the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keep his bed: 002 EXO 021 019 if he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be quit: 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 smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall surely be punished. 002 EXO 021 021 Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money. 002 EXO 021 022 And if men strive together, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely fined, according as the woman’s husband shall lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. 002 EXO 021 023 But if any mischief 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 smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, and destroy it; he shall let him go free for his eye’s sake. 002 EXO 021 027 And if he smite out his manservant’s tooth, or his maidservant’s tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth’s sake. 002 EXO 021 028 And if an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die, the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit. 002 EXO 021 029 But if the ox were wont to gore in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, 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 be laid on him a ransom, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatsoever is laid upon him. 002 EXO 021 031 Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him. 002 EXO 021 032 If the ox gore a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto 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 an ass fall therein, 002 EXO 021 034 the owner of the pit shall make it good; he shall give money unto the owner of them, and the dead [beast] shall be his. 002 EXO 021 035 And if one man’s ox hurt another’s, that he die; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the price of it; and the dead also they shall divide. 002 EXO 021 036 Or if it be known that the ox was wont to gore in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox, and the dead [beast] 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 pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep. 002 EXO 022 002 If the thief be found breaking in, and be smitten that he die, there shall be no bloodguiltiness for him. 002 EXO 022 003 If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be bloodguiltiness for him: he should make restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft. 002 EXO 022 004 If the theft be found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall pay double. 002 EXO 022 005 If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall let his beast loose, and it 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 break out, and catch in thorns, so that the shocks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution. 002 EXO 022 007 If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man’s house; if the thief be found, he shall pay double. 002 EXO 022 008 If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall come near unto God, [to see] whether he have not put his hand unto his neighbour’s goods. 002 EXO 022 009 For every matter of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, [or] for any manner of lost thing, whereof one saith, This is it, the cause of both parties shall come before God; he whom God shall condemn shall pay double unto his neighbour. 002 EXO 022 010 If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it: 002 EXO 022 011 the oath of the LORD shall be between them both, whether he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour’s goods; and the owner thereof shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution. 002 EXO 022 012 But if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof. 002 EXO 022 013 If it be torn in pieces, let him bring it for witness; he shall not make good that which was torn. 002 EXO 022 014 And if a man borrow aught of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof not being with it, he shall surely make restitution. 002 EXO 022 015 If the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came for its hire. 002 EXO 022 016 And if a man entice a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife. 002 EXO 022 017 If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins. 002 EXO 022 018 Thou shalt not suffer a sorceress to live. 002 EXO 022 019 Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death. 002 EXO 022 020 He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, shall be utterly destroyed. 002 EXO 022 021 And a stranger shalt thou not wrong, neither shalt thou 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 afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry; 002 EXO 022 024 and my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless. 002 EXO 022 025 If thou lend money to any of my people with thee that is poor, thou shalt not be to him as a creditor; neither shall ye lay upon him usury. 002 EXO 022 026 If thou at all take thy neighbour’s garment to pledge, thou shalt restore it unto him by that the sun goeth down: 002 EXO 022 027 for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious. 002 EXO 022 028 Thou shalt not revile God, nor curse a ruler of thy people. 002 EXO 022 029 Thou shalt not delay to offer of the abundance of thy fruits, and of thy liquors. The firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me. 002 EXO 022 030 Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, [and] with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with its dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me. 002 EXO 022 031 And ye shall be holy men unto me: therefore ye shall not 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 take up a false report: put not thine 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 a multitude to wrest [judgment]: 002 EXO 023 003 neither shalt thou favour a poor man in his cause. 002 EXO 023 004 If thou meet thine enemy’s ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again. 002 EXO 023 005 If thou see the ass 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 wrest 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 gift: for a gift blindeth them that have sight, and perverteth the words of the righteous. 002 EXO 023 009 And a stranger shalt thou not oppress: 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 the increase thereof: 002 EXO 023 011 but the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie fallow; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beast 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 thine ox and thine ass may have 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 unto you take ye heed: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth. 002 EXO 023 014 Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year. 002 EXO 023 015 The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep: seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, at the time appointed in 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 sowest in the field: and the feast of ingathering, at the end of the year, when thou gatherest 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 feast remain all night until the morning. 002 EXO 023 019 The first of the firstfruits of thy ground thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother’s milk. 002 EXO 023 020 Behold, I send an angel before thee, to keep thee by the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. 002 EXO 023 021 Take ye heed of him, and hearken unto his voice; provoke him not: for he will not pardon your transgression; for my name is in him. 002 EXO 023 022 But if thou shalt indeed hearken unto his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. 002 EXO 023 023 For mine angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite: 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 break in pieces their pillars. 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 none cast her young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfill. 002 EXO 023 027 I will send my terror before thee, and will discomfit all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee. 002 EXO 023 028 And I will send the hornet 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 become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee. 002 EXO 023 030 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land. 002 EXO 023 031 And I will set thy border from the Red Sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness unto 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 sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee. 002 EXO 024 001 And he said unto Moses, Come up unto 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 unto 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 spoken will we do. 002 EXO 024 004 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the mount, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. 002 EXO 024 005 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD. 002 EXO 024 006 And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; 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 audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath spoken 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 sapphire stone, and as it were the very heaven for clearness. 002 EXO 024 011 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: and they beheld God, and did eat and drink. 002 EXO 024 012 And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee the tables of stone, and the law and the commandment, which I have written, that thou mayest teach them. 002 EXO 024 013 And Moses rose up, and Joshua his minister: and Moses went up into the mount of God. 002 EXO 024 014 And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: whosoever hath a cause, let him come near unto them. 002 EXO 024 015 And Moses went up into the mount, and the 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 unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud. 002 EXO 024 017 And the appearance 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 entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights. 002 EXO 025 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 002 EXO 025 002 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they take for me an offering: of every man whose heart maketh him willing 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 sealskins, and acacia wood; 002 EXO 025 006 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense;

and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the ram. 002 EXO 029 016 And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take its blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the altar. 002 EXO 029 017 And thou shalt cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its inwards, and its legs, and put them with its pieces, and with its head. 002 EXO 029 018 And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it is a burnt offering unto the LORD: it is a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 002 EXO 029 019 And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the ram. 002 EXO 029 020 Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of its blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about. 002 EXO 029 021 And thou shalt take of the blood that is upon the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him. 002 EXO 029 022 Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat, and the fat tail, and the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right thigh; for it is a ram of consecration: 002 EXO 029 023 and one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before the LORD: 002 EXO 029 024 and thou shalt put the whole upon the hands of Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons; and shalt wave them for a wave offering before the LORD. 002 EXO 029 025 And thou shalt take them from their hands, and burn them on the altar upon the burnt offering, for a sweet savour before the LORD: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 002 EXO 029 026 And thou shalt take the breast of Aaron’s ram of consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before the LORD: and it shall be thy portion. 002 EXO 029 027 And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the thigh of the heave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons: 002 EXO 029 028 and it shall be for Aaron and his sons as a due for ever from the children of Israel: for it is an heave offering: and it shall be an heave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, even their heave offering unto the LORD. 002 EXO 029 029 And the holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him, to be anointed in them, and to be consecrated in them. 002 EXO 029 030 Seven days shall the son that is priest in his stead put them on, when he cometh into the tent of meeting to minister in the holy place. 002 EXO 029 031 And thou shalt take the ram of consecration, and seethe its flesh in a holy place. 002 EXO 029 032 And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the tent of meeting. 002 EXO 029 033 And they shall eat those things wherewith atonement was made, to consecrate [and] to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because they are holy. 002 EXO 029 034 And if aught of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread, remain unto the morning, then thou shalt burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is holy. 002 EXO 029 035 And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron, and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou consecrate them. 002 EXO 029 036 And every day shalt thou offer the bullock of sin offering for atonement: and thou shalt cleanse the altar, when thou makest atonement for it; and thou shalt anoint it, to sanctify it. 002 EXO 029 037 Seven days thou shalt make atonement for the altar, and sanctify it: and the altar shall be most holy; whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy. 002 EXO 029 038 Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually. 002 EXO 029 039 The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even: 002 EXO 029 040 and with the one lamb a tenth part [of an ephah] of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering. 002 EXO 029 041 And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the meal offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 002 EXO 029 042 It shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tent of meeting before the LORD: where I will meet with you, to speak there unto thee. 002 EXO 029 043 And there I will meet with the children of Israel; and [the Tent] shall be sanctified by my glory. 002 EXO 029 044 And I will sanctify the tent of meeting, and the altar: Aaron also and his sons will I sanctify, to minister to me in the priest’s office. 002 EXO 029 045 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God. 002 EXO 029 046 And they shall know that I am the LORD their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I am the LORD their God. 002 EXO 030 001 And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of acacia wood shalt thou make it. 002 EXO 030 002 A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be: and two cubits shall be the height thereof: the horns thereof shall be of one piece with it. 002 EXO 030 003 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about. 002 EXO 030 004 And two golden rings shalt thou make for it under the crown thereof, upon the two ribs thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make them; and they shall be for places for staves to bear it withal. 002 EXO 030 005 And thou shalt make the staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. 002 EXO 030 006 And thou shalt put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy-seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee. 002 EXO 030 007 And Aaron shall burn thereon incense of sweet spices: every morning, when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn it. 002 EXO 030 008 And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations. 002 EXO 030 009 Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt offering, nor meal offering; and ye shall pour no drink offering thereon. 002 EXO 030 010 And Aaron shall make atonement upon the horns of it once in the year: with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once in the year shall he make atonement for it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto the LORD. 002 EXO 030 011 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 002 EXO 030 012 When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel, according to those that are numbered of them, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them. 002 EXO 030 013 This they shall give, every one that passeth over unto them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary: (the shekel is twenty gerahs: ) half a shekel for an offering to the LORD. 002 EXO 030 014 Every one that passeth over unto them that are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering of the LORD. 002 EXO 030 015 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of the LORD, to make atonement for your souls. 002 EXO 030 016 And thou shalt take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tent of meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD, to make atonement for your souls. 002 EXO 030 017 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 002 EXO 030 018 Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and the base thereof of brass, to wash withal: and thou shalt put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein. 002 EXO 030 019 And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat: 002 EXO 030 020 when they go into the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire unto 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 spake unto Moses, saying, 002 EXO 030 023 Take thou also unto thee the chief spices, of flowing myrrh five hundred [shekels], and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty, 002 EXO 030 024 and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil an hin: 002 EXO 030 025 and thou shalt make it an holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it shall be an holy anointing oil. 002 EXO 030 026 And thou shalt anoint therewith the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony, 002 EXO 030 027 and the table and all the vessels thereof, and the candlestick and the vessels thereof, and the altar of incense, 002 EXO 030 028 and the altar of burnt offering with all the vessels thereof, and the laver and the base thereof. 002 EXO 030 029 And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy. 002 EXO 030 030 And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office. 002 EXO 030 031 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations. 002 EXO 030 032 Upon the flesh of man shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any like it, according to the composition thereof: it is holy, [and] it shall be holy unto you. 002 EXO 030 033 Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people. 002 EXO 030 034 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight; 002 EXO 030 035 and thou shalt make of it incense, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, 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 tent of meeting, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy. 002 EXO 030 037 And the incense which thou shalt make, according to the composition thereof ye shall not make for yourselves: it shall be unto thee holy for the LORD. 002 EXO 030 038 Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, he shall be cut off from his people. 002 EXO 031 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 002 EXO 031 002 See, I have called by name Bezalel 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 devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, 002 EXO 031 005 and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of workmanship. 002 EXO 031 006 And I, behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, 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 tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy-seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the Tent; 002 EXO 031 008 and the table and its vessels, and the pure candlestick with all its vessels, and the altar of incense; 002 EXO 031 009 and the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, and the laver and its base; 002 EXO 031 010 and the finely wrought garments, 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 the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do. 002 EXO 031 012 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 002 EXO 031 013 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily ye shall keep my sabbaths: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD which sanctify you. 002 EXO 031 014 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that profaneth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 002 EXO 031 015 Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 002 EXO 031 016 Wherefore 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 he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, the two tables of the 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 unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him. 002 EXO 032 002 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me. 002 EXO 032 003 And all the people brake off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. 002 EXO 032 004 And he received it at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 032 005 And when Aaron saw [this], he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, Tomorrow shall be a feast to the LORD. 002 EXO 032 006 And they rose up early on the morrow, 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 spake unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves: 002 EXO 032 008 they have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed unto it, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 002 EXO 032 009 And the LORD said unto 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 wax hot 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 wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand? 002 EXO 032 012 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, saying, For evil did he bring them forth, 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 swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. 002 EXO 032 014 And the LORD repented of the evil which he said he would do unto his people. 002 EXO 032 015 And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, with the two tables of the testimony in his hand; tables that 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, graven upon the tables. 002 EXO 032 017 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto 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 nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing: and Moses’ anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount. 002 EXO 032 020 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it with fire, and ground it to powder, and strewed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it. 002 EXO 032 021 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought a great sin upon them? 002 EXO 032 022 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are [set] on evil. 002 EXO 032 023 For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him. 002 EXO 032 024 And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off; so they gave it me: and I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf. 002 EXO 032 025 And when Moses saw that the people were broken loose; for Aaron had let them loose for a derision among their enemies: 002 EXO 032 026 then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Whoso is on the LORD’S side, [let him come] unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him. 002 EXO 032 027 And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, and go to and fro 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 sons 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 And Moses said, Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD, yea, every man against his son, and against his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day. 002 EXO 032 030 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make atonement for your sin. 002 EXO 032 031 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, 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 unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. 002 EXO 032 034 And now go, lead the people unto [the place] of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine 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 smote the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made. 002 EXO 033 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, Depart, go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land of which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto 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 unto 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 did put on him his ornaments. 002 EXO 033 005 And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: if I go up into the midst of thee for one moment, I shall consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee. 002 EXO 033 006 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments from mount Horeb onward. 002 EXO 033 007 Now Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it without the camp, afar off from the camp; and he called it, The tent of meeting. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the LORD went out unto the tent of meeting, which was without the camp. 002 EXO 033 008 And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the Tent, that all the people rose up, and stood, every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the Tent. 002 EXO 033 009 And it came to pass, when Moses entered into the Tent, the pillar of cloud descended, and stood at the door of the Tent: and [the LORD] spake with Moses. 002 EXO 033 010 And all the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man at his tent door. 002 EXO 033 011 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his minister Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the Tent. 002 EXO 033 012 And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto 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, shew me now thy ways, that I may know thee, to the end 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 unto him, If thy presence go not [with me], carry us not up hence. 002 EXO 033 016 For wherein now shall it be known that I have found grace in thy sight, I and thy people? is it not in that thou goest with us, so that 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 unto 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, Shew me, I pray thee, thy glory. 002 EXO 033 019 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. 002 EXO 033 020 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for man shall not see me and live. 002 EXO 033 021 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon the 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 until I have passed by: 002 EXO 033 023 and I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back: but my face shall not be seen. 002 EXO 034 001 And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon the tables the words that were on the first tables, which thou brakest. 002 EXO 034 002 And be ready by the morning, and come up in the morning unto 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 unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand 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, a God full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy 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, upon the third and upon 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 the Lord, I pray thee, go in the midst of us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance. 002 EXO 034 010 And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been wrought 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 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 whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee: 002 EXO 034 013 but ye shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and ye shall cut down their Asherim: 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 a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee and thou eat of his sacrifice; 002 EXO 034 016 and thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring 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 thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, at the time appointed in the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt. 002 EXO 034 019 All that openeth the womb is mine; and all thy cattle that is male, the firstlings of ox and sheep. 002 EXO 034 020 And the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break its 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 plowing time and in harvest thou shalt rest. 002 EXO 034 022 And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, [even] 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 thy males appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel. 002 EXO 034 024 For I will cast out nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou goest 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 leavened bread; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning. 002 EXO 034 026 The first of the firstfruits of thy ground thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother’s milk. 002 EXO 034 027 And the LORD said unto 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 did neither eat bread, nor drink 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 the testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone by reason of his speaking 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 nigh him. 002 EXO 034 031 And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses spake to them. 002 EXO 034 032 And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai. 002 EXO 034 033 And when Moses had done 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 spake unto 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 assembled all the congregation of the children of Israel, and said unto 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 solemn rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work therein 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 spake unto 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 unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, the LORD’S offering; 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 sealskins, and acacia wood; 002 EXO 035 008 and oil for the light, and spices for the 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 let every wise hearted man among you 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 the staves thereof, the mercy-seat, and the veil of the screen; 002 EXO 035 013 the table, and its staves, and all its vessels, and the shewbread; 002 EXO 035 014 the candlestick also for the light, and its vessels, and its lamps, and the oil for the light; 002 EXO 035 015 and the altar of incense, and its staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the screen for the door, at the door of the tabernacle; 002 EXO 035 016 the altar of burnt offering, with its grating of brass, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its base; 002 EXO 035 017 the hangings of the court, the pillars thereof, and their sockets, and the screen for the gate 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 finely wrought garments, for ministering 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 stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, [and] brought the LORD’S offering, for the work of the tent of meeting, and for all the service thereof, and for the holy garments. 002 EXO 035 022 And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, [and] brought brooches, and earrings, and signet-rings, and armlets, all jewels of gold; even every man that offered an offering of gold unto 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 rams’ skins dyed red, and sealskins, brought them. 002 EXO 035 024 Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the LORD’S offering: and every man, with whom was found acacia wood for any work of the service, brought it. 002 EXO 035 025 And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, the blue, and the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen. 002 EXO 035 026 And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun the goats’ [hair]. 002 EXO 035 027 And the rulers brought the onyx stones, and the stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate; 002 EXO 035 028 and the spice, and the oil; for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense. 002 EXO 035 029 The children of Israel brought a freewill offering unto the LORD; every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all the work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses. 002 EXO 035 030 And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD hath called by name Bezalel 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 devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, 002 EXO 035 033 and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of cunning workmanship. 002 EXO 035 034 And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. 002 EXO 035 035 Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of workmanship, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, 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 workmanship, and of those that devise cunning works. 002 EXO 036 001 And Bezalel and Oholiab shall work, and every wise hearted man, in whom the LORD hath put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD hath commanded. 002 EXO 036 002 And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it: 002 EXO 036 003 and they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it withal. And they brought yet unto him freewill 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 wrought; 002 EXO 036 005 and they spake unto 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 stuff they had was 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 made the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim the work of the cunning workman made he them. 002 EXO 036 009 The length of each curtain was eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits: all the curtains had one measure. 002 EXO 036 010 And he coupled 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 upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the second coupling. 002 EXO 036 012 Fifty loops made he in the one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain that was in the second coupling: the loops were opposite one to another. 002 EXO 036 013 And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the clasps: so the tabernacle was one. 002 EXO 036 014 And he made curtains of goats’ [hair] for a tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them. 002 EXO 036 015 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of each curtain: the eleven curtains had one measure. 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 on the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which was [outmost in] the second coupling. 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 sealskins above. 002 EXO 036 020 And he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing up. 002 EXO 036 021 Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each board. 002 EXO 036 022 Each board had two tenons, joined one to another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle. 002 EXO 036 023 And he made the boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward: 002 EXO 036 024 and he made forty sockets of silver 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 second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, 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 hinder part of the tabernacle westward he made six boards. 002 EXO 036 028 And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the hinder part. 002 EXO 036 029 And they were double beneath, and in like manner they were entire unto the top thereof unto one ring: thus he did to both of them in the two corners. 002 EXO 036 030 And there were eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; under every board two sockets. 002 EXO 036 031 And he made bars of acacia 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 hinder part westward. 002 EXO 036 033 And he made the middle bar to pass through in the midst of 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 for places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold. 002 EXO 036 035 And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubim the work of the cunning workman made he it. 002 EXO 036 036 And he made thereunto four pillars of acacia, 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 a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer; 002 EXO 036 038 and the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their chapiters and their fillets with gold: and their five sockets were of brass. 002 EXO 037 001 And Bezalel made the ark of acacia 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 to it round about. 002 EXO 037 003 And he cast for it four rings of gold, in the four feet thereof; even two rings on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it. 002 EXO 037 004 And he made staves of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold. 002 EXO 037 005 And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark. 002 EXO 037 006 And he made a mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half [was] the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof. 002 EXO 037 007 And he made two cherubim of gold; of beaten work made he them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat; 002 EXO 037 008 one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end: of one piece with the mercy-seat made he the cherubim at the two ends thereof. 002 EXO 037 009 And the cherubim spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy-seat were the faces of the cherubim. 002 EXO 037 010 And he made the table of acacia wood: two cubits [was] the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof: 002 EXO 037 011 and he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereto a crown of gold round about. 002 EXO 037 012 And he made unto it a border of an handbreadth round about, and made a golden crown to the border thereof round about. 002 EXO 037 013 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that were on the four feet thereof. 002 EXO 037 014 Close by the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table. 002 EXO 037 015 And he made the staves of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table. 002 EXO 037 016 And he made the vessels which were upon the table, the dishes thereof, and the spoons thereof, and the bowls thereof, and the flagons thereof, to pour out withal, of pure gold. 002 EXO 037 017 And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick, even its base, and its shaft; its cups, its knops, and its flowers, were of one piece with it: 002 EXO 037 018 and there were six branches going out of the sides thereof; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof: 002 EXO 037 019 three cups made like almond-blossoms in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three cups made like almond-blossoms in the other branch, a knop and a flower: so for the six branches going out of the candlestick. 002 EXO 037 020 And in the candlestick were four cups made like almond-blossoms, the knops thereof, and the flowers thereof: 002 EXO 037 021 and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of it. 002 EXO 037 022 Their knops and their branches were of one piece with it: the whole of it was one beaten work of pure gold. 002 EXO 037 023 And he made the lamps thereof, seven, and the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, of pure gold. 002 EXO 037 024 Of a talent of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof. 002 EXO 037 025 And he made the altar of incense of acacia wood: a cubit was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, foursquare;

their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their chapiters and their fillets of silver. 002 EXO 038 020 And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass. 002 EXO 038 021 This is the sum of [the things for] the tabernacle, even the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest. 002 EXO 038 022 And Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses. 002 EXO 038 023 And with him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen. 002 EXO 038 024 All the gold that was used for the work in all the work of the sanctuary, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary. 002 EXO 038 025 And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary: 002 EXO 038 026 a beka a head, [that is], half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that passed over to them that were numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men. 002 EXO 038 027 And the hundred talents of silver were for casting the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil; an hundred sockets for the hundred talents, a talent for a socket. 002 EXO 038 028 And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five [shekels] he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and made fillets for them. 002 EXO 038 029 And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels. 002 EXO 038 030 And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tent of meeting, and the brasen altar, and the brasen grating for it, and all the vessels of the altar, 002 EXO 038 031 and the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the gate of the court, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about. 002 EXO 039 001 And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made finely wrought garments, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; 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 did 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, the work of the cunning workman. 002 EXO 039 004 They made shoulderpieces for it, joined together: at the two ends was it joined together. 002 EXO 039 005 And the cunningly woven band, that was upon it, to gird it on withal, was of the same piece [and] like the work thereof; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses. 002 EXO 039 006 And they wrought the onyx stones, enclosed in ouches of gold, graven with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the children of Israel. 002 EXO 039 007 And he put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses. 002 EXO 039 008 And he made the breastplate, the work of the cunning workman, like the work of the ephod; of gold, of 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 thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being double. 002 EXO 039 010 And they set in it four rows of stones: a row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle 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 jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst. 002 EXO 039 013 And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were enclosed in ouches of gold in their settings. 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 according to his name, for the twelve tribes. 002 EXO 039 015 And they made upon the breastplate chains like cords, of wreathen work of pure gold. 002 EXO 039 016 And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. 002 EXO 039 017 And they put the two wreathen chains of gold on the two rings at the ends of the breastplate. 002 EXO 039 018 And the [other] two ends of the two wreathen chains they put on the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, in the forepart thereof. 002 EXO 039 019 And they made two rings of gold, and put them upon the two ends of the breastplate, upon the edge thereof, which was toward the side of the ephod inward. 002 EXO 039 020 And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulderpieces of the ephod underneath, in the forepart thereof, close by the coupling thereof, above the cunningly woven band of the ephod. 002 EXO 039 021 And they did bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be upon the cunningly 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 the hole of the robe in the midst thereof, as the hole of a coat of mail, with a binding round about the hole of it, that it should not be rent. 002 EXO 039 024 And they made upon the skirts 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 skirts of the robe round about, between the pomegranates; 002 EXO 039 026 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe round about, to minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses. 002 EXO 039 027 And they made the coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons, 002 EXO 039 028 and the mitre of fine linen, and the goodly headtires of fine linen, and the linen breeches of fine twined linen, 002 EXO 039 029 and the girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, the work of the embroiderer; 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, HOLY TO THE LORD. 002 EXO 039 031 And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it upon the mitre above; as the LORD commanded Moses. 002 EXO 039 032 Thus was finished all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting: 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 unto 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 sealskins, and the veil of the screen; 002 EXO 039 035 the ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy-seat; 002 EXO 039 036 the table, all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread; 002 EXO 039 037 the pure candlestick, the lamps thereof, even the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for the light; 002 EXO 039 038 and the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the screen for the door of the Tent; 002 EXO 039 039 the brasen altar, and its grating of brass, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its base; 002 EXO 039 040 the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court, the cords thereof, and the pins thereof, and all the instruments of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting; 002 EXO 039 041 the finely wrought garments for ministering in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office. 002 EXO 039 042 According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the work. 002 EXO 039 043 And Moses saw 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 spake unto Moses, saying, 002 EXO 040 002 On the first day of the first month shalt thou rear up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. 002 EXO 040 003 And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and thou shalt screen the ark with the veil. 002 EXO 040 004 And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof. 002 EXO 040 005 And thou shalt set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle. 002 EXO 040 006 And thou shalt set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. 002 EXO 040 007 And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put water therein. 002 EXO 040 008 And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court. 002 EXO 040 009 And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the furniture thereof: and it shall be holy. 002 EXO 040 010 And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt offering, and all its vessels, and sanctify the altar: and the altar shall be most holy. 002 EXO 040 011 And thou shalt anoint the laver and its base, and sanctify it. 002 EXO 040 012 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tent of meeting, and shalt wash them with water. 002 EXO 040 013 And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments; and thou shalt anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office. 002 EXO 040 014 And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them: 002 EXO 040 015 and thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office: and their anointing shall be to them for 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 laid its sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up its pillars. 002 EXO 040 019 And he spread 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 staves 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 screen, and screened the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses. 002 EXO 040 022 And he put the table in the tent of meeting, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the veil. 002 EXO 040 023 And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses. 002 EXO 040 024 And he put the candlestick in the tent of meeting, over against 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 meeting before the veil: 002 EXO 040 027 and he burnt thereon incense of sweet spices; as the LORD commanded Moses. 002 EXO 040 028 And he put the screen of the door to the tabernacle. 002 EXO 040 029 And he set the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meal offering; as the LORD commanded Moses. 002 EXO 040 030 And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water therein, to wash withal. 002 EXO 040 031 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat; 002 EXO 040 032 when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed: as the LORD commanded Moses. 002 EXO 040 033 And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work. 002 EXO 040 034 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. 002 EXO 040 035 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud abode thereon, 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, throughout all their journeys: 002 EXO 040 037 but if the cloud were 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 there was fire therein 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 unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tent of meeting, saying, 003 LEV 001 002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man of you offereth an oblation unto the LORD, ye shall offer your oblation of the cattle, [even] of the herd and of the flock. 003 LEV 001 003 If his oblation be a burnt offering of the herd, he shall offer it a male without blemish: he shall offer it at the door of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before the LORD. 003 LEV 001 004 And he shall lay 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 bullock before the LORD: and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall present the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is at the door of the tent of meeting. 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 wood in order upon the fire: 003 LEV 001 008 and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, 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 its inwards and its legs shall he wash with water: and the priest shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. 003 LEV 001 010 And if his oblation be of the flock, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt offering; he shall offer 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 Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood upon the altar round about. 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 the inwards and the legs shall he wash with water: and the priest shall offer the whole, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. 003 LEV 001 014 And if his oblation to the LORD be a burnt offering of fowls, then he shall offer his oblation of turtledoves, or of young pigeons. 003 LEV 001 015 And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be drained out on the side of the altar: 003 LEV 001 016 and he shall take away its crop with the filth thereof, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of the ashes: 003 LEV 001 017 and he shall rend it by the wings thereof, [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 offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. 003 LEV 002 001 And when any one offereth an oblation of a meal offering unto the LORD, his oblation shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon: 003 LEV 002 002 and he shall bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the fine flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn [it as] the memorial thereof upon the altar, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD: 003 LEV 002 003 and that which is left of the meal 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 when thou offerest an oblation of a meal offering baken in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. 003 LEV 002 005 And if thy oblation be a meal offering of the baking pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil. 003 LEV 002 006 Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it is a meal offering. 003 LEV 002 007 And if thy oblation be a meal offering of the frying pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. 003 LEV 002 008 And thou shalt bring the meal offering that is made of these things unto the LORD: and it shall be presented unto the priest, and he shall bring it unto the altar. 003 LEV 002 009 And the priest shall take up from the meal offering the memorial thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar: an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. 003 LEV 002 010 And that which is left of the meal 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 meal offering, which ye shall offer unto the LORD, shall be made with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, as an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 003 LEV 002 012 As an oblation of first[fruits] ye shall offer them unto the LORD: but they shall not come up for a sweet savour on the altar. 003 LEV 002 013 And every oblation of thy meal offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meal offering: with all thine oblations thou shalt offer salt. 003 LEV 002 014 And if thou offer a meal offering of firstfruits unto the LORD, thou shalt offer for the meal offering of thy firstfruits corn in the ear parched with fire, bruised corn of the fresh ear. 003 LEV 002 015 And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a meal offering. 003 LEV 002 016 And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the bruised corn thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 003 LEV 003 001 And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offerings; if he offer of the herd, whether 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 oblation, and kill it at the door of the tent of meeting: and Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about. 003 LEV 003 003 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of peace offerings an offering made by fire unto 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 loins, and the caul upon the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away. 003 LEV 003 005 And Aaron’s sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt offering, which is upon the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. 003 LEV 003 006 And if his oblation for a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD be of the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without blemish. 003 LEV 003 007 If he offer a lamb for his oblation, then shall he offer it before the LORD: 003 LEV 003 008 and he shall lay his hand upon the head of his oblation, and kill it before the tent of meeting: and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof upon the altar round about. 003 LEV 003 009 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of peace offerings an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat thereof, the fat tail entire, he shall take it away hard by 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 loins, and the caul upon the liver, with the kidneys, 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 unto the LORD. 003 LEV 003 012 And if his oblation 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 tent of meeting: and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood thereof upon the altar round about. 003 LEV 003 014 And he shall offer thereof his oblation, [even] an offering made by fire unto 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 loins, and the caul upon the liver, with the kidneys, 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 throughout your generations in all your dwellings, that ye shall eat neither fat nor blood. 003 LEV 004 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 004 002 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any one shall sin unwittingly, in any of the things which the LORD hath commanded not to be done, and shall do any one of them: 003 LEV 004 003 if the anointed priest shall sin so as to bring guilt on the people; then let him offer for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the LORD for a sin offering. 003 LEV 004 004 And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tent of meeting before the LORD; and he shall lay his hand upon the head of the bullock, and kill the bullock before the LORD. 003 LEV 004 005 And the anointed priest shall take of the blood of the bullock, and bring it to the tent of meeting: 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 of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the tent of meeting; and all the blood of the bullock shall he pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the tent of meeting. 003 LEV 004 008 And all the fat of the bullock of the sin offering he shall take off from it; 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 loins, and the caul upon the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away, 003 LEV 004 010 as it is taken off from the ox of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of burnt offering. 003 LEV 004 011 And the skin of the bullock, and all its flesh, with its head, and with its legs, and its inwards, and its dung, 003 LEV 004 012 even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out shall it be burnt. 003 LEV 004 013 And if the whole congregation of Israel shall err, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done any of the things which the LORD hath commanded not to be done, and are guilty; 003 LEV 004 014 when the sin wherein they have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bullock for a sin offering, and bring it before the tent of meeting. 003 LEV 004 015 And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before the LORD: and the bullock shall be killed before the LORD. 003 LEV 004 016 And the anointed priest shall bring of the blood of the bullock to the tent of meeting: 003 LEV 004 017 and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, before the veil. 003 LEV 004 018 And he shall put of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before the LORD, that is in the tent of meeting, and all the blood shall he pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the tent of meeting. 003 LEV 004 019 And all the fat thereof shall he take off from it, and burn it upon the altar. 003 LEV 004 020 Thus shall he do with the bullock; as he did with the bullock of the sin offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven. 003 LEV 004 021 And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bullock: it is the sin offering for the assembly. 003 LEV 004 022 When a ruler sinneth, and doeth unwittingly any one of all the things which the LORD his God hath commanded not to be done, and is guilty; 003 LEV 004 023 if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, be made known to him, he shall bring for his oblation a goat, 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 the blood thereof shall he pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering. 003 LEV 004 026 And all the fat thereof shall he burn upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall make atonement for him as concerning his sin, and he shall be forgiven. 003 LEV 004 027 And if any one of the common people sin unwittingly, in doing any of the things which the LORD hath commanded not to be done, and be guilty; 003 LEV 004 028 if his sin, which he hath sinned, be made known to him, then he shall bring for his oblation a goat, 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 kill the sin offering in the place of burnt offering. 003 LEV 004 030 And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and all the blood thereof shall he pour out at the base of the altar. 003 LEV 004 031 And all the fat thereof shall he take away, 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 unto the LORD; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be forgiven. 003 LEV 004 032 And if he bring a lamb as his oblation 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 kill 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 all the blood thereof shall he pour out at the base of the altar: 003 LEV 004 035 and all the fat thereof shall he take away, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them on the altar, upon the offerings of the LORD made by fire: and the priest shall make atonement for him as touching his sin that he hath sinned, and he shall be forgiven. 003 LEV 005 001 And if any one sin, in that he heareth the voice of adjuration, he being a witness, whether he hath seen or known, if he do not utter [it], then he shall bear his iniquity: 003 LEV 005 002 or if any one touch any unclean thing, whether it be the carcase of an unclean beast, or the carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things, and it be hidden from him, and he be unclean, then he shall be guilty: 003 LEV 005 003 or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever his uncleanness be wherewith he is unclean, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty: 003 LEV 005 004 or if any one swear rashly with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be that a man shall utter rashly with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these [things]: 003 LEV 005 005 and it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these [things], that he shall confess that wherein he hath sinned: 003 LEV 005 006 and he shall bring his guilt offering unto the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him as concerning his sin. 003 LEV 005 007 And if his means suffice not for a lamb, then he shall bring his guilt offering for that wherein he hath sinned, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering. 003 LEV 005 008 And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and wring off its head from its 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 drained out at the base 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 ordinance: and the priest shall make atonement for him as concerning his sin which he hath sinned, and he shall be forgiven. 003 LEV 005 011 But if his means suffice not for two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he shall bring his oblation for that wherein he hath sinned, 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 thereon: for it is a sin offering. 003 LEV 005 012 And he shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as the memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, upon the offerings of the LORD made by fire: it is a sin offering. 003 LEV 005 013 And the priest shall make atonement for him as touching his sin that he hath sinned in any of these things, and he shall be forgiven: and [the remnant] shall be the priest’s, as the meal offering. 003 LEV 005 014 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 005 015 If any one commit a trespass, and sin unwittingly, in the holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring his guilt offering unto the LORD, a ram without blemish out of the flock, according to thy estimation in silver by shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a guilt offering: 003 LEV 005 016 and he shall make restitution for that which he hath done amiss in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest: and the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering, and he shall be forgiven. 003 LEV 005 017 And if any one sin, and do any of the things which the LORD hath commanded not to be done; 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, according to thy estimation, for a guilt offering, unto the priest: and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning the thing wherein he erred unwittingly and knew it not, and he shall be forgiven. 003 LEV 005 019 It is a guilt offering: he is certainly guilty before the LORD. 003 LEV 006 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 006 002 If any one sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and deal falsely with his neighbour in a matter of deposit, or of bargain, or of robbery, or have oppressed his neighbour; 003 LEV 006 003 or have found that which was lost, and deal falsely thereto, and swear to a lie; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein: 003 LEV 006 004 then it shall be, if he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took by robbery, or the thing which he hath gotten by oppression, or the deposit which was committed to him, or the lost thing which he found, 003 LEV 006 005 or any thing about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in full, and shall add the fifth part more thereto: unto him to whom it appertaineth shall he give it, in the day of his being found guilty. 003 LEV 006 006 And he shall bring his guilt offering unto the LORD, a ram without blemish out of the flock, according to thy estimation, for a guilt offering, unto the priest: 003 LEV 006 007 and the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD, and he shall be forgiven; concerning whatsoever he doeth so as to be guilty thereby. 003 LEV 006 008 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 006 009 Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering: the burnt offering shall be on the hearth upon the altar all night unto the morning; and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning thereon. 003 LEV 006 010 And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall he put upon his flesh; and he shall take up the ashes whereto the fire hath consumed 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 without the camp unto a clean place. 003 LEV 006 012 And the fire upon the altar shall be kept burning thereon, it shall not go out; and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning: and he shall lay the burnt offering in order upon it, and shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings. 003 LEV 006 013 Fire shall be kept burning upon the altar continually; it shall not go out. 003 LEV 006 014 And this is the law of the meal offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar. 003 LEV 006 015 And he shall take up therefrom his handful, of the fine flour of the meal offering, and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which is upon the meal offering, and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour, as the memorial thereof, unto the LORD. 003 LEV 006 016 And that which is left thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: it shall be eaten without leaven in a holy place; in the court of the tent of meeting they shall eat it. 003 LEV 006 017 It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it as their portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as the sin offering, and as the guilt offering. 003 LEV 006 018 Every male among the children of Aaron shall eat of it, as a due for ever throughout your generations, from the offerings of the LORD made by fire: whosoever toucheth them shall be holy. 003 LEV 006 019 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 006 020 This is the oblation of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer unto the LORD in the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering perpetually, half of it in the morning, and half thereof in the evening. 003 LEV 006 021 On a baking pan it shall be made with oil; when it is soaked, thou shalt bring it in: in baken pieces shalt thou offer the meal offering for a sweet savour unto the LORD. 003 LEV 006 022 And the anointed priest that shall be in his stead from among his sons shall offer it: by a statute for ever it shall be wholly burnt unto the LORD. 003 LEV 006 023 And every meal offering of the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten. 003 LEV 006 024 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 006 025 Speak unto 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 a holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tent of meeting. 003 LEV 006 027 Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy: and when there is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that whereon it was sprinkled in a holy place. 003 LEV 006 028 But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken: and if it be sodden in a brasen vessel, it shall be scoured, and rinsed in water. 003 LEV 006 029 Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it is most holy. 003 LEV 006 030 And no sin offering, whereof any of the blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the holy place, shall be eaten: it shall be burnt with fire. 003 LEV 007 001 And this is the law of the guilt offering: it is most holy. 003 LEV 007 002 In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the guilt offering: and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle upon the altar round about. 003 LEV 007 003 And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the fat tail, 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 loins, and the caul upon the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away: 003 LEV 007 005 and the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a guilt offering. 003 LEV 007 006 Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in a holy place: it is most holy. 003 LEV 007 007 As is the sin offering, so is the guilt offering: there is one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith, he 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 every meal offering that is baken in the oven, and all that is dressed in the frying pan, and on the baking pan, shall be the priest’s that offereth it. 003 LEV 007 010 And every meal offering, mingled with oil, or dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as well as another. 003 LEV 007 011 And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which one shall offer unto the LORD. 003 LEV 007 012 If he 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 soaked. 003 LEV 007 013 With cakes of leavened bread he shall offer his oblation with the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving. 003 LEV 007 014 And of it he shall offer one out of each oblation for an heave offering unto the LORD; 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 on the day of his oblation; he shall not leave any of it until the morning. 003 LEV 007 016 But if the sacrifice of his oblation be a vow, or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offereth his sacrifice: and on the morrow that which remaineth of it shall be eaten: 003 LEV 007 017 but that which remaineth 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 be eaten on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto 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, every one that is clean shall eat thereof: 003 LEV 007 020 but the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that pertain unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from his people. 003 LEV 007 021 And when any one shall touch any unclean thing, the uncleanness of man, or an unclean beast, or any unclean abomination, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which pertain unto the LORD, that soul shall be cut off from his people. 003 LEV 007 022 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 007 023 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no fat, of ox, or sheep, or goat. 003 LEV 007 024 And the fat of that which dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn of beasts, may be used for any other service: but ye shall in no wise eat of it. 003 LEV 007 025 For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people. 003 LEV 007 026 And ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings. 003 LEV 007 027 Whosoever it be that eateth any blood, that soul shall be cut off from his people. 003 LEV 007 028 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 007 029 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the LORD shall bring his oblation unto the LORD out 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 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 thigh shall ye give unto the priest for an heave offering out 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 thigh for a portion. 003 LEV 007 034 For the wave breast and the heave thigh have I taken of the children of Israel out of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons as a due for ever from the children of Israel. 003 LEV 007 035 This is the anointing-portion of Aaron, and the anointing-portion of his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister unto the LORD in the priest’s office; 003 LEV 007 036 which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them. It is a due for ever throughout their generations. 003 LEV 007 037 This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meal offering, and of the sin offering, and of the guilt offering, and of the consecration, and of the sacrifice of 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 unto the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai. 003 LEV 008 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 008 002 Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and the bullock of the sin offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread; 003 LEV 008 003 and assemble thou all the congregation at the door of the tent of meeting. 003 LEV 008 004 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the congregation was assembled at the door of the tent of meeting. 003 LEV 008 005 And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which the LORD hath 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 girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the cunningly woven band of the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith. 003 LEV 008 008 And he placed the breastplate upon him: and in the breastplate he put the Urim and the Thummim. 003 LEV 008 009 And he set the mitre upon his head; and upon the mitre, in front, did he set 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 therein, and sanctified them. 003 LEV 008 011 And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its vessels, and the laver and its base, 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 clothed them with coats, and girded them with girdles, and bound headtires upon them; as the LORD commanded Moses. 003 LEV 008 014 And he brought the bullock of the sin offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock of the sin offering. 003 LEV 008 015 And he slew it; and Moses took the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar, and sanctified it, to make atonement for it. 003 LEV 008 016 And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned it upon the altar. 003 LEV 008 017 But the bullock, and its skin, and its flesh, and its dung, he burnt with fire without the camp; as the LORD commanded Moses. 003 LEV 008 018 And he presented the ram of 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 upon the altar round about. 003 LEV 008 020 And he cut the ram into its pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat. 003 LEV 008 021 And he washed the inwards and the legs with water; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt offering for a sweet savour: it was an offering made by fire unto the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses. 003 LEV 008 022 And he presented 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 the blood thereof, 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 thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot: and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about. 003 LEV 008 025 And he took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right thigh: 003 LEV 008 026 and out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat, and upon the right thigh: 003 LEV 008 027 and he put the whole upon the hands of Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons, 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 a consecration for a sweet savour: it was an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 003 LEV 008 029 And Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before the LORD: it was Moses’ portion of the ram of consecration; 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, upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons’ garments with him; and sanctified Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him. 003 LEV 008 031 And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the tent of meeting: and there eat it and the bread that is in the basket of consecration, 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 from the door of the tent of meeting seven days, until the days of your consecration be fulfilled: for he shall consecrate you seven days. 003 LEV 008 034 As hath been done this day, so the LORD hath commanded to do, to make atonement for you. 003 LEV 008 035 And at the door of the tent of meeting shall ye abide 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 And Aaron and his sons did all the 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 unto Aaron, Take thee a bull 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 unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a he-goat 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 and an ox and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD; and a meal offering mingled with oil: for today the LORD appeareth unto you. 003 LEV 009 005 And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tent of meeting: 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 unto you. 003 LEV 009 007 And Moses said unto Aaron, Draw near unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the oblation of the people, and make atonement for them; as the LORD commanded. 003 LEV 009 008 So Aaron drew near unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself. 003 LEV 009 009 And the sons of Aaron presented the blood unto 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 base of the altar: 003 LEV 009 010 but the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul from 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 skin he burnt with fire without the camp. 003 LEV 009 012 And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron’s sons delivered unto him the blood, and he sprinkled it upon the altar round about. 003 LEV 009 013 And they delivered the burnt offering unto him, piece by piece, 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 presented the people’s oblation, and took the goat of the sin offering which was for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first. 003 LEV 009 016 And he presented the burnt offering, and offered it according to the ordinance. 003 LEV 009 017 And he presented the meal offering, and filled his hand therefrom, and burnt it upon the altar, besides the burnt offering of the morning. 003 LEV 009 018 He slew also the ox and the ram, the sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron’s sons delivered unto him the blood, and he sprinkled it upon the altar round about, 003 LEV 009 019 and the fat of the ox; and of the ram, the fat tail, and that which covereth [the inwards], and the kidneys, and the caul of 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 thigh Aaron waved for a wave offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded. 003 LEV 009 022 And Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people, and blessed them; and he came down from offering the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings. 003 LEV 009 023 And Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people. 003 LEV 009 024 And there came forth fire from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: and when all the people saw it, 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 therein, and laid incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he had not commanded them. 003 LEV 010 002 And there came forth fire from before the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD. 003 LEV 010 003 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh 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 unto them, Draw near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp. 003 LEV 010 005 So they drew near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said. 003 LEV 010 006 And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Let not the hair of your heads go loose, neither rend your clothes; that ye die not, and that he be not wroth with all the congregation: 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 tent of meeting, 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 spake unto Aaron, saying, 003 LEV 010 009 Drink no wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tent of meeting, that ye die not: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations: 003 LEV 010 010 and that ye may put difference between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean; 003 LEV 010 011 and that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses. 003 LEV 010 012 And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meal 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 a holy place, because it is thy due, and thy sons’ due, of the offerings of the LORD made by fire: for so I am commanded. 003 LEV 010 014 And the wave breast and the heave thigh shall ye eat in a clean place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they are given as thy due, and thy sons’ due, out of the sacrifices of the peace offerings of the children of Israel. 003 LEV 010 015 The heave thigh 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, as a due 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 with Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, saying, 003 LEV 010 017 Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the place of the sanctuary, seeing it is most holy, and he 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 into the sanctuary within: ye should certainly have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded. 003 LEV 010 019 And Aaron spake unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and there have befallen me such things as these: and if I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been well-pleasing in the sight of the LORD? 003 LEV 010 020 And when Moses heard [that], it was well-pleasing in his sight. 003 LEV 011 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them, 003 LEV 011 002 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the living things which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. 003 LEV 011 003 Whatsoever 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 part the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you. 003 LEV 011 005 And the coney, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you. 003 LEV 011 006 And the hare, because she cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, she is unclean unto you. 003 LEV 011 007 And the swine, because he parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you. 003 LEV 011 008 Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcases ye shall not touch; they are unclean unto you. 003 LEV 011 009 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever 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 and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination unto you, 003 LEV 011 011 and they shall be an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, and their carcases ye shall have in abomination. 003 LEV 011 012 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination unto you. 003 LEV 011 013 And these ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the gier eagle, and the ospray; 003 LEV 011 014 and the kite, and the falcon after its kind; 003 LEV 011 015 every raven after its kind; 003 LEV 011 016 and the ostrich, and the night hawk, and the seamew, and the hawk after its kind; 003 LEV 011 017 and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl; 003 LEV 011 018 and the horned owl, and the pelican, and the vulture; 003 LEV 011 019 and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat. 003 LEV 011 020 All winged creeping things that go upon all four are an abomination unto you. 003 LEV 011 021 Yet these may ye eat of all winged creeping things that go upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal 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 cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind. 003 LEV 011 023 But all winged creeping things, which have four feet, are an abomination unto you. 003 LEV 011 024 And by these ye shall become unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even: 003 LEV 011 025 And whosoever beareth [aught] of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. 003 LEV 011 026 Every beast which parteth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, is unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean. 003 LEV 011 027 And whatsoever goeth upon its paws, among all beasts that go on all four, they are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even. 003 LEV 011 028 And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you. 003 LEV 011 029 And these are they which are unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard after its kind, 003 LEV 011 030 and the gecko, and the land-crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand-lizard, and the chameleon. 003 LEV 011 031 These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even. 003 LEV 011 032 And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherewith any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; then shall it be clean. 003 LEV 011 033 And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean, and it ye shall break. 003 LEV 011 034 All food [therein] which may be eaten, that on which 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 whereupon [any part] of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces: they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you. 003 LEV 011 036 Nevertheless a fountain or a pit wherein is a gathering of water shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean. 003 LEV 011 037 And if [aught] of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean. 003 LEV 011 038 But if water be put upon the seed, and [aught] of their carcase fall thereon, it is unclean unto you. 003 LEV 011 039 And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even. 003 LEV 011 040 And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. 003 LEV 011 041 And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth is an abomination; it shall not be eaten. 003 LEV 011 042 Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath many feet, even 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 thereby. 003 LEV 011 044 For I am the LORD your God: sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that moveth upon the earth. 003 LEV 011 045 For I am the LORD that brought you up 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 beast, 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 living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten. 003 LEV 012 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 012 002 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman conceive seed, and bear a man child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of the impurity of her sickness 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 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 bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her impurity: and she shall continue in the blood of [her] purifying threescore 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, unto the door of the tent of meeting, unto the priest: 003 LEV 012 007 and he shall offer it before the LORD, and make atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the fountain of her blood. This is the law for her that beareth, whether a male or a female. 003 LEV 012 008 And if her means suffice not for a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons; the one for a burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean. 003 LEV 013 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 003 LEV 013 002 When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it become in the skin of his flesh the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto 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 if the hair in the plague be turned white, and the appearance of the plague be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is the plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean. 003 LEV 013 004 And if the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and the appearance thereof be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be 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 in his eyes the plague be at a stay, and the plague be not spread 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 be dim, and the plague be not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean. 003 LEV 013 007 But if the scab spread abroad in the skin, after that he hath shewn himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall shew himself to the priest again: 003 LEV 013 008 and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the scab be spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is leprosy. 003 LEV 013 009 When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest; 003 LEV 013 010 and the priest shall look, and, behold, if there be a white rising in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising, 003 LEV 013 011 it is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean: he shall not shut him up; for he is unclean. 003 LEV 013 012 And if the leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of [him that hath] the plague from his head even to his feet, as far as appeareth to the priest; 003 LEV 013 013 then the priest shall look: and, behold, if the leprosy have 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 whensoever raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean. 003 LEV 013 015 And the priest shall look on the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh is unclean: it is leprosy. 003 LEV 013 016 Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, then he shall come unto the priest, 003 LEV 013 017 and the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the plague be turned into white, then the priest shall pronounce [him] clean [that hath] the plague: he is clean. 003 LEV 013 018 And when the flesh hath in the skin thereof a boil, and it is healed, 003 LEV 013 019 and in the place of the boil there is a white rising, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shewed to the priest; 003 LEV 013 020 and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the appearance thereof be lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy, it hath broken out in the boil. 003 LEV 013 021 But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and it be not lower than the skin, but be dim, then the priest shall shut him up seven days: 003 LEV 013 022 And if it spread abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague. 003 LEV 013 023 But if the bright spot stay in its place, and be not spread, it is the scar of the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean. 003 LEV 013 024 Or when the flesh hath in the skin thereof a burning by fire, and the quick [flesh] of the burning become a bright spot, reddish-white, or white; 003 LEV 013 025 then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and the appearance thereof be deeper than the skin; it is leprosy, it hath broken out in the burning: and the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy. 003 LEV 013 026 But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the skin, but be dim; then the priest shall shut him up seven days: 003 LEV 013 027 and the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: if it spread abroad 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 stay in its place, and be not spread in the skin, but be dim; it is the rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it is the scar of the burning. 003 LEV 013 029 And when a man or woman hath a plague upon the head or upon the beard, 003 LEV 013 030 then the priest shall look on the plague: and, behold, if the appearance thereof be deeper than the skin, and there be in it yellow thin hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a scall, it is leprosy of the head or of the beard. 003 LEV 013 031 And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, the appearance thereof be not deeper than the skin, and there be 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 be not spread, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the appearance of the scall be not deeper than the skin, 003 LEV 013 033 then 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 be not spread in the skin, and the appearance thereof be not 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 spread abroad in the skin after his cleansing; 003 LEV 013 036 then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for the yellow hair; he is unclean. 003 LEV 013 037 But if in his eyes the scall be at a stay, and black hair be grown up therein; the scall is healed, he is clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean. 003 LEV 013 038 And when a man or a woman hath 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 be of a dull white; it is a tetter, it hath broken out in the skin; he is clean. 003 LEV 013 040 And if a man’s hair be fallen off his head, he is bald; [yet] is he clean. 003 LEV 013 041 And if his hair be fallen off from the front part of his head, he is forehead bald; [yet] is he clean. 003 LEV 013 042 But if there be in the bald head, or the bald forehead, a reddish-white plague; it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head, or his bald forehead. 003 LEV 013 043 Then the priest shall look upon him: and, behold, if the rising of the plague be reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the flesh; 003 LEV 013 044 he is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall surely pronounce him unclean; his plague is in his head. 003 LEV 013 045 And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and the hair of his head shall go loose, and he shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean. 003 LEV 013 046 All the days wherein the plague is in him he shall be unclean; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his dwelling be. 003 LEV 013 047 The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment; 003 LEV 013 048 whether it be in warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin; 003 LEV 013 049 if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is the plague of leprosy, and shall be shewed unto 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 be spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, whatever service skin is used for; the plague is a fretting leprosy; it is unclean. 003 LEV 013 052 And he shall burn the garment, whether the warp or the woof, in woollen or in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire. 003 LEV 013 053 And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be 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 wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more: 003 LEV 013 055 and the priest shall look, after that the plague is washed: and, behold, if the plague have not changed its colour, and the plague be not spread, it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire: it is a fret, whether the bareness be within or without. 003 LEV 013 056 And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be dim after the washing thereof, 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 appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin, it is breaking out: thou shalt burn that wherein the plague is with fire. 003 LEV 013 058 And the garment, either the warp, or the woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which thou shalt wash, if the plague be 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 the woof, or any thing of skin, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean. 003 LEV 014 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 014 002 This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: he shall be brought unto 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 be healed in the leper; 003 LEV 014 004 then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two living clean birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop: 003 LEV 014 005 And the priest shall command to kill one of the birds 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 go the living bird 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 bathe himself in water, and he shall be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, but shall dwell outside his tent seven days. 003 LEV 014 009 And 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, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and he shall be clean. 003 LEV 014 010 And on the eighth day he shall take two he-lambs without blemish, and one ewe-lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour for a meal offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil. 003 LEV 014 011 And the priest that cleanseth him shall set the man that is to be cleansed, and those things, before the LORD, at the door of the tent of meeting: 003 LEV 014 012 and the priest shall take one of the he-lambs, and offer him for a guilt offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the LORD: 003 LEV 014 013 and he shall kill the he-lamb in the place where they kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the place of the sanctuary: for as the sin offering is the priest’s, so is the guilt offering: it is most holy: 003 LEV 014 014 and the priest shall take of the blood of the guilt 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 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 guilt offering: 003 LEV 014 018 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: and the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD. 003 LEV 014 019 And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make atonement for him that is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering: 003 LEV 014 020 and the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meal offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean. 003 LEV 014 021 And if he be poor, and cannot get so much, then he shall take one he-lamb for a guilt offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and one tenth part [of an ephah] of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal 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 on the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing unto the priest, unto the door of the tent of meeting, before the LORD. 003 LEV 014 024 And the priest shall take the lamb of the guilt 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 guilt offering, and the priest shall take of the blood of the guilt 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 guilt 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 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 is able to 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 meal offering: and the priest shall make 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, who is not able to get [that which pertaineth] to his cleansing. 003 LEV 014 033 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 003 LEV 014 034 When ye be 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 then he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, There seemeth to me to be as it were a plague in the house: 003 LEV 014 036 and the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go in to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not 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 be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, and the appearance thereof be 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 be spread in the walls of the house; 003 LEV 014 040 then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which the plague is, and cast them into an unclean place without the city: 003 LEV 014 041 and he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the mortar that they scrape off without 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 plaister the house. 003 LEV 014 043 And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken out the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered; 003 LEV 014 044 then the priest shall come in and look, and, behold, if the plague be 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, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into 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 even. 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, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered; 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 field: so shall he make 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 for a scall; 003 LEV 014 055 and for the leprosy of a garment, and for a house; 003 LEV 014 056 and for a rising, 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 spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying, 003 LEV 015 002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath an 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 run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness. 003 LEV 015 004 Every bed whereon he that hath the issue lieth shall be unclean: and every thing whereon he sitteth shall be unclean. 003 LEV 015 005 And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 003 LEV 015 006 And he that sitteth on any thing whereon he that hath the issue sat shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 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 even. 003 LEV 015 008 And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean; then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 003 LEV 015 009 And what saddle soever he that hath the issue rideth upon shall be unclean. 003 LEV 015 010 And whosoever toucheth any thing that was under him shall be unclean until the even: and he that beareth those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 003 LEV 015 011 And whomsoever he that hath the issue toucheth, without having rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 003 LEV 015 012 And the earthen vessel, which he that hath the issue toucheth, 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 he shall 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 unto the door of the tent of meeting, and give them unto 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 atonement for him before the LORD for his issue. 003 LEV 015 016 And if any man’s seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall bathe all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even. 003 LEV 015 017 And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even. 003 LEV 015 018 The woman also with whom a man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even. 003 LEV 015 019 And if a woman have an issue, [and] her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be in her impurity seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even. 003 LEV 015 020 And every thing that she lieth upon in her impurity shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean. 003 LEV 015 021 And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 003 LEV 015 022 And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sitteth upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 003 LEV 015 023 And if it be on the bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even. 003 LEV 015 024 And if any man lie with her, and her impurity be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean. 003 LEV 015 025 And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days not in the time of her impurity, or if she have an issue beyond the time of her impurity; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness she shall be as in the days of her impurity: she is unclean. 003 LEV 015 026 Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her impurity: and every thing whereon she sitteth shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her impurity. 003 LEV 015 027 And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 003 LEV 015 028 But if she 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 unto her two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting. 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 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 in the midst of them. 003 LEV 015 032 This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed of copulation goeth from him, so that he is unclean thereby; 003 LEV 015 033 and of her that is sick with 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 spake unto Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they drew near before the LORD, and died; 003 LEV 016 002 and the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto 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 die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy-seat. 003 LEV 016 003 Herewith shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock 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 girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: they are the holy garments; and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and put them on. 003 LEV 016 005 And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two he-goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering. 003 LEV 016 006 And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself, and for his house. 003 LEV 016 007 And he shall take the two goats, and set them before the LORD at the door of the tent of meeting. 003 LEV 016 008 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for Azazel. 003 LEV 016 009 And Aaron shall present the goat upon which the lot fell for the LORD, and offer him for a sin offering. 003 LEV 016 010 But the goat, on which the lot fell for Azazel, shall be set alive before the LORD, to make atonement for him, to send him away for Azazel into the wilderness. 003 LEV 016 011 And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself: 003 LEV 016 012 and he shall take a censer full of 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 die not: 003 LEV 016 014 and he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy-seat on the east; 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 his blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy-seat, and before the mercy-seat: 003 LEV 016 016 and he shall make atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleannesses of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins: and so shall he do for the tent of meeting, that dwelleth with them in the midst of their uncleannesses. 003 LEV 016 017 And there shall be no man in the tent of meeting when he goeth in to make atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel. 003 LEV 016 018 And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the LORD, and make atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about. 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 uncleannesses of the children of Israel. 003 LEV 016 020 And when he hath made an end of atoning for the holy place, and the tent of meeting, and the altar, he shall present 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, even all their sins; and he shall put them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a man that is in readiness into the wilderness: 003 LEV 016 022 and the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a solitary land: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness. 003 LEV 016 023 And Aaron shall come into the tent of meeting, 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 bathe his flesh in water in a holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make 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 letteth go the goat for Azazel shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp. 003 LEV 016 027 And the bullock of the sin offering, and the goat of the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall be carried forth without 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 it shall be a statute for ever unto you: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and shall do no manner of work, the homeborn, or the stranger that sojourneth among you: 003 LEV 016 030 for on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins shall ye be clean before the LORD. 003 LEV 016 031 It is a sabbath of solemn rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls; it is a statute for ever. 003 LEV 016 032 And the priest, who shall be anointed and who shall be consecrated to be priest in his father’s stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen garments, even the holy garments: 003 LEV 016 033 and he shall make atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make atonement for the tent of meeting and for the altar; and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly. 003 LEV 016 034 And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make atonement for the children of Israel because of all their sins once in the year. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses. 003 LEV 017 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 017 002 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them; This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, saying, 003 LEV 017 003 What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it without the camp, 003 LEV 017 004 and hath not brought it unto the door of the tent of meeting, to offer it as an oblation unto the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD: blood shall be imputed unto 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 sacrifice in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the LORD, unto the door of the tent of meeting, unto the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace offerings unto the LORD. 003 LEV 017 006 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD at the door of the tent of meeting, and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto the LORD. 003 LEV 017 007 And they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices unto the he-goats, after whom they go a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations. 003 LEV 017 008 And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice, 003 LEV 017 009 and bringeth it not unto the door of the tent of meeting, to sacrifice it unto the LORD; even that man shall be cut off from his people. 003 LEV 017 010 And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that eateth any manner of blood; I will 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 atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life. 003 LEV 017 012 Therefore I said unto 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 whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, which taketh in hunting any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. 003 LEV 017 014 For as to the life of all flesh, the blood thereof is [all one] with the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off. 003 LEV 017 015 And every soul that eateth that which dieth of itself, or that which is torn of beasts, whether he be homeborn or a stranger, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean. 003 LEV 017 016 But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity. 003 LEV 018 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 018 002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 018 003 After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their statutes. 003 LEV 018 004 My judgments shall ye do, and my statutes shall ye keep, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 018 005 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, 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, even 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 the 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 thine own nakedness. 003 LEV 018 011 The nakedness of thy father’s wife’s daughter, begotten of 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 thine 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; thou shalt not take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they are near kinswomen: it is wickedness. 003 LEV 018 018 And thou shalt not take a woman to her sister, to be a rival [to her], to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time. 003 LEV 018 019 And thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness. 003 LEV 018 020 And thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour’s wife, to defile thyself with her. 003 LEV 018 021 And thou shalt not give any of thy seed to make them 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 And thou shalt not lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast, to lie down thereto: 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 from before you: 003 LEV 018 025 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomiteth out her inhabitants. 003 LEV 018 026 Ye therefore shall keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the homeborn, nor the stranger that sojourneth among you: 003 LEV 018 027 (for all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled; ) 003 LEV 018 028 that the land vomit not you out also, when ye defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you. 003 LEV 018 029 For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people. 003 LEV 018 030 Therefore shall ye keep my charge, that ye do not any of these abominable customs, which were done before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 019 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 019 002 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto 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 ye shall keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 019 004 Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 019 005 And when ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it that ye may be accepted. 003 LEV 019 006 It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if aught remain until the third day, it shall be burnt with fire. 003 LEV 019 007 And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination; it shall not be accepted: 003 LEV 019 008 but every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the holy thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from 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 gleaning of thy harvest. 003 LEV 019 010 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather the fallen fruit of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and for the stranger: I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 019 011 Ye shall not steal; neither shall ye deal falsely, nor lie one to another. 003 LEV 019 012 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, so that thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 019 013 Thou shalt not oppress thy neighbour, nor rob him: the wages of a hired servant 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 thou 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 thine heart: thou shalt surely rebuke thy neighbour, and not bear sin because of him. 003 LEV 019 018 Thou shalt not take vengeance, 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 gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with two kinds of seed: neither shall there come upon thee a garment of two kinds of stuff mingled together. 003 LEV 019 020 And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; they shall be punished; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free. 003 LEV 019 021 And he shall bring his guilt offering unto the LORD, unto the door of the tent of meeting, even a ram for a guilt offering. 003 LEV 019 022 And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned: and he shall be forgiven for his sin which he hath sinned. 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 the fruit thereof as their uncircumcision: three years shall they be as uncircumcised unto you; it shall not be eaten. 003 LEV 019 024 But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy, for giving praise unto the LORD. 003 LEV 019 025 And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 019 026 Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantments, nor practise augury. 003 LEV 019 027 Ye shall not round the corners 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 print any marks upon you: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 019 029 Profane not thy daughter, to make her a harlot; lest the land fall to whoredom, 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 Turn ye not unto them that have familiar spirits, nor unto the wizards; seek them not out, 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 thou shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 019 033 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not do him wrong. 003 LEV 019 034 The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the homeborn 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 meteyard, in weight, or in measure. 003 LEV 019 036 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt. 003 LEV 019 037 And ye shall observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 020 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 020 002 Moreover, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones. 003 LEV 020 003 I also will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto 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 that man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and put him not to death: 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 a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people. 003 LEV 020 006 And the soul that turneth unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto the wizards, to go a whoring 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 which sanctify 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 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 And if a man lie with mankind, as with womankind, both of them have committed abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. 003 LEV 020 014 And if a man 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 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 approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, 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 shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children 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 made naked 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 hath made naked 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 impurity: 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, whither I bring you to dwell therein, vomit you not out. 003 LEV 020 023 And ye shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them. 003 LEV 020 024 But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from the peoples. 003 LEV 020 025 Ye shall therefore separate between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any thing wherewith the ground teemeth, which I have separated from you as unclean. 003 LEV 020 026 And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that ye should be mine. 003 LEV 020 027 A man also or a woman that hath a familiar spirit, 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 unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none defile himself for the dead among his people; 003 LEV 021 002 except for his kin, that is near unto him, 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 unto him, which hath had no husband, for her may he defile himself. 003 LEV 021 004 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 unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy. 003 LEV 021 007 They shall not take a woman that is a harlot, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy unto his God. 003 LEV 021 008 Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy unto thee: for I the LORD, which sanctify you, am holy. 003 LEV 021 009 And the daughter of any priest, if she 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 is poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head go loose, 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 one divorced, or a profane woman, an harlot, these shall he not take: but a virgin of his own people shall he take to wife. 003 LEV 021 015 And he shall not profane his seed among his people: for I am the LORD which sanctify him. 003 LEV 021 016 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 021 017 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed throughout their generations that hath a blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. 003 LEV 021 018 For whatsoever man he 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 crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or is scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; 003 LEV 021 021 no man of the seed of Aaron the priest, that hath a blemish, shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh 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 unto the veil, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I am the LORD which sanctify them. 003 LEV 021 024 So Moses spake unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel. 003 LEV 022 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 022 002 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they hallow unto me, and that they profane not my holy name: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 022 003 Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed throughout your generations, that approacheth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from before me: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 022 004 What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him; 003 LEV 022 005 or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath; 003 LEV 022 006 the soul which toucheth any such shall be unclean until the even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his flesh in water. 003 LEV 022 007 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread. 003 LEV 022 008 That which dieth of itself, or is torn of beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I am the LORD. 003 LEV 022 009 They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it: I am the LORD which sanctify them. 003 LEV 022 010 There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest’s, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing. 003 LEV 022 011 But if a priest buy any soul, the purchase of his money, he shall eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread. 003 LEV 022 012 And if a priest’s daughter be married unto a stranger, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things. 003 LEV 022 013 But if a priest’s daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father’s house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father’s bread: but there shall no stranger eat thereof. 003 LEV 022 014 And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give unto the priest the holy thing. 003 LEV 022 015 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the LORD; 003 LEV 022 016 and [so] cause them to bear the iniquity that bringeth guilt, when they eat their holy things: for I am the LORD which sanctify them. 003 LEV 022 017 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 022 018 Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whosoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that offereth his oblation, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill offerings, which they offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering; 003 LEV 022 019 that ye may be accepted, [ye shall offer] a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats. 003 LEV 022 020 But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you. 003 LEV 022 021 And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD to accomplish a vow, or for a freewill offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein. 003 LEV 022 022 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto the LORD. 003 LEV 022 023 Either a bullock 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 That which hath its stones bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut, ye shall not offer unto the LORD; neither shall ye do [thus] in your land. 003 LEV 022 025 Neither from the hand of a foreigner shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, there is a blemish in them: they shall not be accepted for you. 003 LEV 022 026 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 022 027 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for the oblation of an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 003 LEV 022 028 And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day. 003 LEV 022 029 And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, ye shall sacrifice it that ye may be accepted. 003 LEV 022 030 On the same day it shall be eaten; ye shall leave none of it until the 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 And ye shall not profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD which 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 spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 023 002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, The set feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts. 003 LEV 023 003 Six days shall work be done: but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of work: it is a sabbath unto the LORD in all your dwellings. 003 LEV 023 004 These are the set feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their appointed season. 003 LEV 023 005 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, is the LORD’S passover. 003 LEV 023 006 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye shall eat unleavened bread. 003 LEV 023 007 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work. 003 LEV 023 008 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work. 003 LEV 023 009 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 023 010 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring the sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest: 003 LEV 023 011 and he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. 003 LEV 023 012 And in the day when ye wave the sheaf, ye shall offer a he-lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD. 003 LEV 023 013 And the meal offering thereof shall be two tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin. 003 LEV 023 014 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor fresh ears, until this selfsame day, until ye have brought the oblation of your God: it is a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 003 LEV 023 015 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall there be complete: 003 LEV 023 016 even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meal offering unto the LORD. 003 LEV 023 017 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth parts [of an ephah]: they shall be of fine flour, they shall be baken with leaven, for firstfruits unto the LORD. 003 LEV 023 018 And ye shall present with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meal offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. 003 LEV 023 019 And ye shall offer one he-goat for a sin offering, and two he-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 make proclamation on the selfsame day; there shall be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work: it is 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 wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them for the poor, and for the stranger: I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 023 023 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 023 024 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest unto you, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. 003 LEV 023 025 Ye shall do no servile work: and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 003 LEV 023 026 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 023 027 Howbeit on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 003 LEV 023 028 And ye shall do no manner of work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before the LORD your God. 003 LEV 023 029 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from his people. 003 LEV 023 030 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any manner of work in that same day, that soul will I destroy from among his people. 003 LEV 023 031 Ye shall do no manner of work: it is a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 003 LEV 023 032 It shall be unto you a sabbath of solemn rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye keep your sabbath. 003 LEV 023 033 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 023 034 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD. 003 LEV 023 035 On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work. 003 LEV 023 036 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; ye shall do no servile work. 003 LEV 023 037 These are the set feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meal offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, each on its own 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 unto the LORD. 003 LEV 023 039 Howbeit on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruits of the land, ye shall keep the feast of the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest. 003 LEV 023 040 And ye shall take you on the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and 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 unto the LORD seven days in the year: it is a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall keep it in the seventh month. 003 LEV 023 042 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are homeborn in Israel 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 unto the children of Israel the set feasts of the LORD. 003 LEV 024 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 024 002 Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually. 003 LEV 024 003 Without the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron order it from evening to morning before the LORD continually: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations. 003 LEV 024 004 He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually. 003 LEV 024 005 And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth parts [of an ephah] shall be in one cake. 003 LEV 024 006 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on 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 to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 003 LEV 024 008 Every sabbath day he shall set it in order before the LORD continually; it is on the behalf of the children of Israel, an everlasting covenant. 003 LEV 024 009 And it shall be for Aaron and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most holy unto 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 the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp; 003 LEV 024 011 and the son of the Israelitish woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed: and they brought him unto 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 ward, that it might be declared unto them at the mouth of the LORD. 003 LEV 024 013 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 024 014 Bring forth him that hath cursed without 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 unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever 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; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as the homeborn, when he blasphemeth the name [of the LORD], shall be put to death. 003 LEV 024 017 And he that smiteth any man mortally shall surely be put to death; 003 LEV 024 018 and he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good: life for life. 003 LEV 024 019 And if a man 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 rendered unto him. 003 LEV 024 021 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good: and he that killeth a man shall be put to death. 003 LEV 024 022 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for the homeborn: for I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 024 023 And Moses spake to the children of Israel, and they brought forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses. 003 LEV 025 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying, 003 LEV 025 002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD. 003 LEV 025 003 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruits thereof; 003 LEV 025 004 but in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a sabbath unto the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard. 003 LEV 025 005 That which groweth of itself of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, and the grapes of thy undressed vine thou shalt not gather: it shall be a year of solemn rest for the land. 003 LEV 025 006 And the sabbath of the land shall be for food for you; for thee, and for thy servant and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant and for thy stranger that sojourn with thee; 003 LEV 025 007 and for thy cattle, and for the beasts that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be for food. 003 LEV 025 008 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and there shall be unto thee the days of seven sabbaths of years, even forty and nine years. 003 LEV 025 009 Then shalt thou send abroad the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month; in the day of atonement shall ye send abroad the trumpet throughout all your land. 003 LEV 025 010 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. 003 LEV 025 011 A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather [the grapes] in it of the undressed vines. 003 LEV 025 012 For it is a jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field. 003 LEV 025 013 In this year of jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession. 003 LEV 025 014 And if thou sell aught unto thy neighbour, or buy of thy neighbour’s hand, ye shall not wrong one another: 003 LEV 025 015 according to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, [and] according unto the number of years of the crops he shall sell unto thee. 003 LEV 025 016 According to the multitude of the years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of the years thou shalt diminish the price of it; for the number of the crops doth he sell unto thee. 003 LEV 025 017 And ye shall not wrong one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 025 018 Wherefore 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 therein 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 the three years. 003 LEV 025 022 And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the fruits, the old store; until the ninth year, until her fruits come in, ye shall eat the old store. 003 LEV 025 023 And the land shall not be sold in perpetuity; 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 be waxen poor, and sell some of his possession, then shall his kinsman that is next unto him come, and shall redeem that which his brother hath sold. 003 LEV 025 026 And if a man have no one to redeem it, and he be waxen rich and find sufficient to redeem it; 003 LEV 025 027 then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; and he shall return unto his possession. 003 LEV 025 028 But if he be not able to get it back for himself, then that which he hath sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession. 003 LEV 025 029 And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; for a full year shall he have the right of redemption. 003 LEV 025 030 And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be made sure in perpetuity to him that bought it, throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubile. 003 LEV 025 031 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be reckoned with the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile. 003 LEV 025 032 Nevertheless the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time. 003 LEV 025 033 And if one of the Levites redeem, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the jubile: 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 suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession. 003 LEV 025 035 And if thy brother be waxen poor, and his hand fail with thee; then thou shalt uphold him: [as] a stranger and a sojourner shall he live with thee. 003 LEV 025 036 Take thou no usury 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 usury, nor give him thy victuals for increase. 003 LEV 025 038 I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, to be your God. 003 LEV 025 039 And if thy brother be waxen poor with thee, and sell himself unto thee; thou shalt not make him to serve as a bondservant: 003 LEV 025 040 as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee; he shall serve with thee unto the year of jubile: 003 LEV 025 041 then shall he go out from thee, he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return. 003 LEV 025 042 For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen. 003 LEV 025 043 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God. 003 LEV 025 044 And as for thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have; of the nations that are round about you, of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids. 003 LEV 025 045 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they have begotten in your land: and they shall be your possession. 003 LEV 025 046 And ye shall make them an inheritance for your children after you, to hold for a possession; of them shall ye take your bondmen 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 stranger or sojourner with thee be waxen rich, and thy brother be waxen poor beside him, and sell himself unto the stranger [or] sojourner with thee, or to the stock of the stranger’s family: 003 LEV 025 048 after that he is sold he may be redeemed; one of his brethren may redeem him: 003 LEV 025 049 or his uncle, or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be waxen rich, he may redeem himself. 003 LEV 025 050 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he sold himself to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years; according to the time of an hired servant shall he be with him. 003 LEV 025 051 If there be yet many years, according unto them he shall give back the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for. 003 LEV 025 052 And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubile, then he shall reckon with him; according unto his years shall he give back the price of his redemption. 003 LEV 025 053 As a servant hired year by year shall he be with him: he shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight. 003 LEV 025 054 And if he be not redeemed by these [means], then he shall go out in the year of jubile, he, and his children with him. 003 LEV 025 055 For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. 003 LEV 026 001 Ye shall make you no idols, neither shall ye rear you up a graven image, or a pillar, neither shall ye place any figured stone in your land, to bow down unto 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 your rains in their 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 unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto 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 cause evil beasts to cease 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 chase ten thousand: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. 003 LEV 026 009 And I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you; and will establish my covenant with you. 003 LEV 026 010 And ye shall eat old store long kept, and ye shall 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, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you go upright. 003 LEV 026 014 But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments; 003 LEV 026 015 and if ye shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant; 003 LEV 026 016 I also will do this unto you; I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away: 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 smitten before your enemies: they that hate you shall rule over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. 003 LEV 026 018 And if ye will not yet for these things hearken unto me, then I will chastise 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 fruit. 003 LEV 026 021 And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. 003 LEV 026 022 And I will send the beast of the field among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your ways shall become desolate. 003 LEV 026 023 And if by these things ye will not be reformed unto me, but will walk contrary unto me; 003 LEV 026 024 then will I also walk contrary unto you; and I will smite you, even I, seven times for your sins. 003 LEV 026 025 And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall execute the vengeance of the covenant; and ye shall be gathered together within your cities: and I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 003 LEV 026 026 When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver 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 unto me, but walk contrary unto me; 003 LEV 026 028 then I will walk contrary unto you in fury; and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins. 003 LEV 026 029 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat. 003 LEV 026 030 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your sun-images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols; and my soul shall abhor you. 003 LEV 026 031 And I will make your cities a waste, and will bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours. 003 LEV 026 032 And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it. 003 LEV 026 033 And you will I scatter among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you: and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste. 003 LEV 026 034 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies’ land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths. 003 LEV 026 035 As long as it lieth desolate it shall have rest; even the rest which it had not in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it. 003 LEV 026 036 And as for them that are left of you, I will send a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies: and the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as one fleeth from the sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth. 003 LEV 026 037 And they shall stumble one upon another, as it were before the sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies. 003 LEV 026 038 And ye shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 003 LEV 026 039 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them. 003 LEV 026 040 And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that because they have walked contrary unto me, 003 LEV 026 041 I also walked contrary unto them, and brought them into the land of their enemies: if then their uncircumcised heart 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 of 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 rejected my judgments, and their soul abhorred my statutes. 003 LEV 026 044 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, 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 forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, 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 spake unto Moses, saying, 003 LEV 027 002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall accomplish a 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 unto 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 be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels. 003 LEV 027 005 And if it be from five years old even unto 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 be from a month old even unto 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 be from sixty years old and upward; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 003 LEV 027 008 But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of him that vowed shall the priest value him. 003 LEV 027 009 And if it be a beast, whereof men offer an oblation unto the LORD, all that any man giveth of such unto 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 both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy. 003 LEV 027 011 And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer an oblation unto the LORD, then he shall set the beast before the priest: 003 LEV 027 012 and the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou the priest valuest it, so shall it be. 003 LEV 027 013 But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part thereof unto thy estimation. 003 LEV 027 014 And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be 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 unto it, and it shall be his. 003 LEV 027 016 And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD part of the field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the sowing thereof: the sowing of a homer of barley [shall be valued] at fifty shekels of silver. 003 LEV 027 017 If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation it shall stand. 003 LEV 027 018 But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain unto the year of jubile, and an abatement shall be made from thy estimation. 003 LEV 027 019 And if he that sanctified the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him. 003 LEV 027 020 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he 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 jubile, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest’s. 003 LEV 027 022 And if he sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of the field of his possession; 003 LEV 027 023 then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation unto the year of jubile: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto the LORD. 003 LEV 027 024 In the year of jubile the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongeth. 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 among beasts, which is made a firstling to the LORD, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox or sheep, it is the LORD’S. 003 LEV 027 027 And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall ransom it according to thine estimation, and shall add unto it the fifth part thereof: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation. 003 LEV 027 028 Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, whether of man or beast, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD. 003 LEV 027 029 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be ransomed; he 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 unto the LORD. 003 LEV 027 031 And if a man will redeem aught of his tithe, he shall add unto it the fifth part thereof. 003 LEV 027 032 And all the tithe of the herd or the flock, whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD. 003 LEV 027 033 He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and that for which it is changed 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 spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tent of meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they were 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, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, every male, by their polls;

and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who bare the tabernacle, set forward. 004 NUM 010 018 And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur. 004 NUM 010 019 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 004 NUM 010 020 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel. 004 NUM 010 021 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and [the other] did set up the tabernacle against they came. 004 NUM 010 022 And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Elishama the son of Ammihud. 004 NUM 010 023 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 004 NUM 010 024 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni. 004 NUM 010 025 And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan, which was the rearward of all the camps, set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 004 NUM 010 026 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ochran. 004 NUM 010 027 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan. 004 NUM 010 028 Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their hosts; and they set forward. 004 NUM 010 029 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel. 004 NUM 010 030 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred. 004 NUM 010 031 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou shalt be to us instead of eyes. 004 NUM 010 032 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what good soever the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee. 004 NUM 010 033 And they set forward from the mount of the LORD three days’ journey; and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them three days’ journey, to seek out a resting place for them. 004 NUM 010 034 And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day, when they set forward from the camp. 004 NUM 010 035 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, O LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee. 004 NUM 010 036 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the ten thousands of the thousands of Israel. 004 NUM 011 001 And the people were as murmurers, [speaking] evil in the ears of the LORD: and when the LORD heard it, his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and devoured in the uttermost part of the camp. 004 NUM 011 002 And the people cried unto Moses; and Moses prayed unto the LORD, and the fire abated. 004 NUM 011 003 And the name of that place was called Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them. 004 NUM 011 004 And the mixed multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? 004 NUM 011 005 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt for nought; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick: 004 NUM 011 006 but now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all: we have nought save this manna to look to. 004 NUM 011 007 And the manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance thereof as the appearance of bdellium. 004 NUM 011 008 The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and seethed it in pots, 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 And Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; and Moses was displeased. 004 NUM 011 011 And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou evil entreated thy servant? and wherefore 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 brought them forth, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing-father carrieth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers? 004 NUM 011 013 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto 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 deal 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 unto Moses, Gather unto 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 unto the tent of meeting, 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 which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone. 004 NUM 011 018 And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow, 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 a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have rejected the LORD which 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 flocks and herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them? 004 NUM 011 023 And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD’S hand waxed short? now shalt thou see whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not. 004 NUM 011 024 And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD: and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the Tent. 004 NUM 011 025 And the LORD came down in the cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, but they did so no more. 004 NUM 011 026 But there remained two 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 written, but had not gone out unto the Tent: 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 minister of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them. 004 NUM 011 029 And Moses said unto him, Art thou jealous for my sake? would God that all the LORD’S people were prophets, that the LORD would put his spirit upon them! 004 NUM 011 030 And Moses gat him 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, about a day’s journey on this side, and a day’s journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits above the face of the earth. 004 NUM 011 032 And the people rose up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp. 004 NUM 011 033 While the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the anger of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague. 004 NUM 011 034 And the name of that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted. 004 NUM 011 035 From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed unto Hazeroth; and they abode at Hazeroth. 004 NUM 012 001 And Miriam and Aaron spake 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 with Moses? hath he not spoken also with us? And the LORD heard it. 004 NUM 012 003 Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth. 004 NUM 012 004 And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they three came out. 004 NUM 012 005 And the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth. 004 NUM 012 006 And he said, Hear now my words: if there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, I will speak with him in a dream. 004 NUM 012 007 My servant Moses is not so; he is faithful in all mine house: 004 NUM 012 008 with him will I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the form of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against 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 removed from over the Tent; and, behold, Miriam was leprous, as [white as] snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous. 004 NUM 012 011 And Aaron said unto Moses, Oh my lord, lay not, I pray thee, sin upon us, for that we have done foolishly, and for that we have sinned. 004 NUM 012 012 Let her not, I pray, 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 unto the LORD, saying, Heal her, O God, I beseech thee. 004 NUM 012 014 And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up without the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again. 004 NUM 012 015 And Miriam was shut up without the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again. 004 NUM 012 016 And afterward the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran. 004 NUM 013 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 004 NUM 013 002 Send thou men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a prince among them. 004 NUM 013 003 And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of the LORD: all of them men who 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, Hoshea 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 which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua. 004 NUM 013 017 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way by the South, and go up into the mountains: 004 NUM 013 018 and see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, whether they be few or many; 004 NUM 013 019 and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in camps, or in strong holds; 004 NUM 013 020 and what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, 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 spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, to the entering in of Hamath. 004 NUM 013 022 And they went up by the South, and came unto Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) 004 NUM 013 023 And they came unto the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it upon a staff between two; [they brought] also of the pomegranates, and of the figs. 004 NUM 013 024 That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from thence. 004 NUM 013 025 And they returned from spying out the land at the end of 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, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land. 004 NUM 013 027 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it. 004 NUM 013 028 Howbeit the people that dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fenced, [and] very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there. 004 NUM 013 029 Amalek dwelleth in the land of the South: and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanite dwelleth by the sea, and along by the side of 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 be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. 004 NUM 013 032 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature. 004 NUM 013 033 And there we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, which come of the Nephilim: 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 unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness! 004 NUM 014 003 And wherefore doth the LORD bring us unto this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones shall 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, which were of them that spied out the land, rent their clothes: 004 NUM 014 007 and they spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land. 004 NUM 014 008 If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it unto us; a land which floweth with milk and honey. 004 NUM 014 009 Only rebel not against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is removed from over them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not. 004 NUM 014 010 But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tent of meeting unto all the children of Israel. 004 NUM 014 011 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have wrought among them? 004 NUM 014 012 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a nation greater and mightier than they. 004 NUM 014 013 And Moses said unto 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: they have heard that thou LORD art in the midst of this people; for thou LORD art seen face to face, and thy cloud standeth over them, and thou goest before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night. 004 NUM 014 015 Now if thou shalt kill 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 sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness. 004 NUM 014 017 And now, I pray thee, let the power of the Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying, 004 NUM 014 018 The LORD is slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and that will by no means clear [the guilty]; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation. 004 NUM 014 019 Pardon, I pray thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and according 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 in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD; 004 NUM 014 022 because all those men which have seen my glory, and my signs, which I wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice; 004 NUM 014 023 surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that despised 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 whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it. 004 NUM 014 025 Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley: tomorrow turn ye, and get you into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea. 004 NUM 014 026 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto 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 unto them, As I live, saith the LORD, surely as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you: 004 NUM 014 029 your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me, 004 NUM 014 030 surely ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I lifted up my hand that I would make you dwell therein, save 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 rejected. 004 NUM 014 032 But as for you, your carcases shall fall in this wilderness. 004 NUM 014 033 And your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be consumed in the wilderness. 004 NUM 014 034 After the number of the days in which ye spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my alienation. 004 NUM 014 035 I the LORD have spoken, surely this will I do unto 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, which Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land, 004 NUM 014 037 even those men that did bring up an evil report of 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, remained alive of those men that went to spy out the land. 004 NUM 014 039 And Moses told these words unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly. 004 NUM 014 040 And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up to the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned. 004 NUM 014 041 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD, seeing it shall not prosper? 004 NUM 014 042 Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten down before your enemies. 004 NUM 014 043 For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned back from following the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you. 004 NUM 014 044 But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp. 004 NUM 014 045 Then the Amalekite came down, and the Canaanite which dwelt in that mountain, and smote them and beat them down, even unto Hormah. 004 NUM 015 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 004 NUM 015 002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you, 004 NUM 015 003 and will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a freewill offering, or in your set feasts, to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock: 004 NUM 015 004 then shall he that offereth his oblation offer unto the LORD a meal offering of a tenth part [of an ephah] of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of oil: 004 NUM 015 005 and wine for the drink offering, the fourth part of an hin, shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or for the sacrifice, for each lamb. 004 NUM 015 006 Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meal offering two tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil: 004 NUM 015 007 and for the drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an hin of wine, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. 004 NUM 015 008 And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace offerings unto the LORD: 004 NUM 015 009 then shall he offer with the bullock a meal offering of three tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mingled with half an hin of oil. 004 NUM 015 010 and thou shalt offer for the drink offering half an hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. 004 NUM 015 011 Thus shall it be done for each bullock, or for each ram, or for each of the he-lambs, or of the kids. 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 homeborn shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. 004 NUM 015 014 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do. 004 NUM 015 015 For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth [with you], a statute for ever throughout your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD. 004 NUM 015 016 One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you. 004 NUM 015 017 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 004 NUM 015 018 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither 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 unto the LORD. 004 NUM 015 020 Of the first of your dough ye shall offer up a cake for an heave offering: as ye do the heave offering of the threshing-floor, so shall ye heave it. 004 NUM 015 021 Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an heave offering throughout your generations. 004 NUM 015 022 And when ye shall err, and not observe all these commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses, 004 NUM 015 023 even all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations; 004 NUM 015 024 then it shall be, if it be done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the LORD, with the meal offering thereof, and the drink offering thereof, according to the ordinance, and one he-goat for a sin offering. 004 NUM 015 025 And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their oblation, an offering made by fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their error: 004 NUM 015 026 and all the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; for in respect of all the people it was done unwittingly. 004 NUM 015 027 And if one person sin unwittingly, then he shall offer a she-goat of the first year for a sin offering. 004 NUM 015 028 And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that erreth, when he sinneth unwittingly, before the LORD, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven. 004 NUM 015 029 Ye shall have one law for him that doeth aught unwittingly, for him that is homeborn among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them. 004 NUM 015 030 But the soul that doeth aught with an high hand, whether he be homeborn or a stranger, the same blasphemeth 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 gathering sticks upon the sabbath day. 004 NUM 015 033 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. 004 NUM 015 034 And they put him in ward, because it had not been declared what should be done to him. 004 NUM 015 035 And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall surely be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. 004 NUM 015 036 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses. 004 NUM 015 037 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 004 NUM 015 038 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of each border a cord of blue: 004 NUM 015 039 and it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye go not about after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring: 004 NUM 015 040 that ye may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God. 004 NUM 015 041 I am the LORD your God, which 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, with 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 congregation, called to the assembly, men of renown: 004 NUM 016 003 and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the assembly of the LORD? 004 NUM 016 004 And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face: 004 NUM 016 005 and he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, In the morning the LORD will shew who are his, and who is holy, and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he shall choose will he cause to come near unto him. 004 NUM 016 006 This do; take you censers, Korah, and all his company; 004 NUM 016 007 and put fire therein, and put incense upon them before the LORD tomorrow: 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 unto Korah, Hear now, ye sons of Levi: 004 NUM 016 009 [seemeth it but] a small thing unto 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 unto them; 004 NUM 016 010 and that he hath brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee? and seek ye the priesthood also? 004 NUM 016 011 Therefore thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and Aaron, what is he that ye murmur against him? 004 NUM 016 012 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: and they said, We will not come up: 004 NUM 016 013 is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, but thou must needs make thyself also a prince over us? 004 NUM 016 014 Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor 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 wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them. 004 NUM 016 016 And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy congregation before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow: 004 NUM 016 017 and take ye every man his censer, and put incense upon them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each his censer. 004 NUM 016 018 And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood at the door of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron. 004 NUM 016 019 And Korah assembled all the congregation against them unto the door of the tent of meeting: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation. 004 NUM 016 020 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto 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 wroth with all the congregation? 004 NUM 016 023 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 004 NUM 016 024 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. 004 NUM 016 025 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him. 004 NUM 016 026 And he spake unto 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 gat them up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood at the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little ones. 004 NUM 016 028 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for [I have] not [done them] of mine own mind. 004 NUM 016 029 If these men 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 make a new thing, and the ground open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down alive into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have despised the LORD. (Sheol h7585) 004 NUM 016 031 And it came to pass, as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them: 004 NUM 016 032 and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. 004 NUM 016 033 So 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 assembly. (Sheol h7585) 004 NUM 016 034 And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up. 004 NUM 016 035 And fire came forth from the LORD, and devoured the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense. 004 NUM 016 036 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 004 NUM 016 037 Speak unto 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 holy; 004 NUM 016 038 even the censers of these sinners against their own lives, and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are holy: and they shall be a sign unto 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 beat them out for a covering of the altar: 004 NUM 016 040 to be a memorial unto the children of Israel, to the end that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to burn incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD spake unto him by the hand of Moses. 004 NUM 016 041 But on the morrow 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 assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared. 004 NUM 016 043 And Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting. 004 NUM 016 044 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 004 NUM 016 045 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. And they fell upon their faces. 004 NUM 016 046 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take thy censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and lay incense thereon, and carry it quickly unto the congregation, and make 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 spake, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on the incense, and made 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 by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides them that died about the matter of Korah. 004 NUM 016 050 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tent of meeting: and the plague was stayed. 004 NUM 017 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 004 NUM 017 002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of them rods, one for each fathers’ house, of all their princes according to their fathers’ houses, 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 there shall be one rod for each head of their fathers’ houses. 004 NUM 017 004 And thou shalt lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you. 004 NUM 017 005 And it shall come to pass, that the man whom I shall choose, his rod shall bud: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you. 004 NUM 017 006 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and all their princes gave him rods, 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 up the rods before the LORD in the tent of the testimony. 004 NUM 017 008 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and bare ripe almonds. 004 NUM 017 009 And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod. 004 NUM 017 010 And the LORD said unto Moses, Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the children of rebellion; that thou mayest make an end of their murmurings against me, that they die not. 004 NUM 017 011 Thus did Moses: as the LORD commanded him, so did he. 004 NUM 017 012 And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone. 004 NUM 017 013 Every one that cometh near, that cometh near unto the tabernacle of the LORD, dieth: shall we perish all of us? 004 NUM 018 001 And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy fathers’ 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, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou near with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall be before the tent of the testimony. 004 NUM 018 003 And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the Tent: only they shall not come nigh unto the vessels of the sanctuary and unto the altar, that they die not, neither they, nor ye. 004 NUM 018 004 And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the Tent: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you. 004 NUM 018 005 And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be wrath no 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 a gift, given unto the LORD, to do the service of the tent of meeting. 004 NUM 018 007 And thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priesthood for every thing of the altar, and for that within the veil; and ye shall serve: I give you the priesthood as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. 004 NUM 018 008 And the LORD spake unto Aaron, And I, behold, I have given thee the charge of mine heave offerings, even all the hallowed things of the children of Israel, unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, as a due for ever. 004 NUM 018 009 This shall be thine of the most holy things, [reserved] from the fire: every oblation of theirs, even every meal offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every guilt offering of theirs, which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons. 004 NUM 018 010 As the most holy things shalt thou eat thereof: every male shall eat thereof; it shall be holy unto thee. 004 NUM 018 011 And this is thine; the heave offering of their gift, even all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, as a due for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat thereof. 004 NUM 018 012 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the vintage, and of the corn, the firstfruits of them which they give unto the LORD, to thee have I given them. 004 NUM 018 013 The firstripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat thereof. 004 NUM 018 014 Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine. 004 NUM 018 015 Every thing that openeth the womb, of all flesh which they offer unto the LORD, both of man and beast, 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 of them from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary (the same is twenty gerahs). 004 NUM 018 017 But the firstling of an ox, 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 unto the LORD. 004 NUM 018 018 And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right thigh, it shall be thine. 004 NUM 018 019 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, as a due for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee. 004 NUM 018 020 And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any portion among them: I am thy portion and thine inheritance among the children of Israel. 004 NUM 018 021 And unto the children of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which they serve, even the service of the tent of meeting. 004 NUM 018 022 And henceforth the children of Israel shall not come nigh the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin, and die. 004 NUM 018 023 But the Levites shall do the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, and among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance. 004 NUM 018 024 For the tithe of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance. 004 NUM 018 025 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 004 NUM 018 026 Moreover thou shalt speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, a tithe of the tithe. 004 NUM 018 027 And your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the corn of the threshing-floor, and as the fulness of the winepress. 004 NUM 018 028 Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and thereof ye shall give 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 thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it. 004 NUM 018 030 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye heave the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshing-floor, 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 in return for your service in the tent of meeting. 004 NUM 018 032 And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best thereof: and ye shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that ye die not. 004 NUM 019 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 004 NUM 019 002 This is the statute of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, [and] upon which never came yoke: 004 NUM 019 003 and ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring her forth without 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 toward the front of the tent of meeting 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 even. 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 even. 004 NUM 019 009 And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without 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 sin offering. 004 NUM 019 010 And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto 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 the same shall purify himself therewith on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean. 004 NUM 019 013 Whosoever 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: every one that cometh into the tent, and every one 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 whosoever in the open field toucheth one that is slain with a sword, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days. 004 NUM 019 017 And for the unclean they shall take of the ashes of the burning of the sin offering, and running water shall be put thereto 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 the bone, or the slain, or the dead, or the 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 him; and he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even. 004 NUM 019 020 But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly, 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 unto them: and he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even. 004 NUM 019 022 And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even. 004 NUM 020 001 And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came into the wilderness 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 assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron. 004 NUM 020 003 And the people strove with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD! 004 NUM 020 004 And why have ye brought the assembly of the LORD into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our cattle? 004 NUM 020 005 And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto 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 unto the door of the tent of meeting, and fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them. 004 NUM 020 007 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 004 NUM 020 008 Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes, that it give forth its water; and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their cattle drink. 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 assembly together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; shall we bring you forth water out of this rock? 004 NUM 020 011 And Moses lifted up his hand, and smote the rock with his rod twice: and water came forth abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their cattle. 004 NUM 020 012 And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed not in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them. 004 NUM 020 013 These are the waters 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 unto 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 dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians evil entreated us, and our fathers: 004 NUM 020 016 and when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and brought us forth out of 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 land: we will not pass through field or through vineyard, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go along the king’s [high] way, we will not turn aside to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy border. 004 NUM 020 018 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against thee. 004 NUM 020 019 And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go up by the highway: and if we drink of thy water, I and my cattle, then will I give the price thereof: let me only, without [doing] any thing [else], pass through on my feet. 004 NUM 020 020 And he said, Thou shalt not pass through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand. 004 NUM 020 021 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him. 004 NUM 020 022 And they journeyed from Kadesh: and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came unto mount Hor. 004 NUM 020 023 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying, 004 NUM 020 024 Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah. 004 NUM 020 025 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor: 004 NUM 020 026 and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered [unto his people], and shall die there. 004 NUM 020 027 And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into 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 in 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 wept for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel. 004 NUM 021 001 And the Canaanite, the king of Arad, which dwelt in the South, heard tell that Israel came by the way of Atharim; and he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive. 004 NUM 021 002 And Israel vowed a vow unto 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 the name of the place was called Hormah. 004 NUM 021 004 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way. 004 NUM 021 005 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no 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 much people of Israel died. 004 NUM 021 007 And the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, because we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. 004 NUM 021 008 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a standard: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he seeth it, shall live. 004 NUM 021 009 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it upon the standard: and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked unto the serpent of brass, he lived. 004 NUM 021 010 And the children of Israel journeyed, and pitched in Oboth. 004 NUM 021 011 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising. 004 NUM 021 012 From thence they journeyed, and pitched in the valley of Zered. 004 NUM 021 013 From thence they journeyed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that cometh out of the border of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. 004 NUM 021 014 Wherefore it is said in the book of the Wars of the LORD, Vaheb in Suphah, And the valleys of Arnon, 004 NUM 021 015 And the slope of the valleys That inclineth toward the dwelling of Ar, And leaneth upon the border of Moab. 004 NUM 021 016 And from thence [they journeyed] to Beer: that is the well whereof the LORD said unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water. 004 NUM 021 017 Then sang Israel this song: Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it: 004 NUM 021 018 The well, which the princes digged, Which the nobles of the people delved, With the sceptre, [and] with their staves. And from the wilderness [they journeyed] to Mattanah: 004 NUM 021 019 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth: 004 NUM 021 020 and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh down upon the desert. 004 NUM 021 021 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, 004 NUM 021 022 Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard; we will not drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king’s [high] way, until we have passed thy border. 004 NUM 021 023 And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz: and he fought against Israel. 004 NUM 021 024 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto 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 the towns thereof. 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 unto Arnon. 004 NUM 021 027 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come ye to Heshbon, Let the city of Sihon be built and established: 004 NUM 021 028 For a fire is gone out of Heshbon, A flame from the city of Sihon: It hath devoured Ar of Moab, 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 as fugitives, And his daughters into captivity, Unto Sihon king of the Amorites. 004 NUM 021 030 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, And we have laid waste even unto Nophah, Which [reacheth] unto Medeba. 004 NUM 021 031 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites. 004 NUM 021 032 And Moses sent to spy out Jazer, and they took the towns thereof, 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 battle at Edrei. 004 NUM 021 034 And the LORD said unto 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 unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. 004 NUM 021 035 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him remaining: and they possessed his land. 004 NUM 022 001 And the children of Israel journeyed, and pitched in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at 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 sore 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 unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this multitude lick up all that is round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time. 004 NUM 022 005 And he sent messengers unto Balaam the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the River, to the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me: 004 NUM 022 006 come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure 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 unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak. 004 NUM 022 008 And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam. 004 NUM 022 009 And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee? 004 NUM 022 010 And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, [saying], 004 NUM 022 011 Behold, the people that is come out of Egypt, it covereth the face of the earth: now, come curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to fight against them, and shall drive them out. 004 NUM 022 012 And God said unto 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 unto the princes of Balak, Get you into 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 unto 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 unto me: 004 NUM 022 017 for I will promote thee unto very great honour, and whatsoever thou sayest unto me I will do: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people. 004 NUM 022 018 And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot 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 speak unto me more. 004 NUM 022 020 And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men be come to call thee, rise up, go with them; but only the word which I speak unto thee, that shalt thou do. 004 NUM 022 021 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, 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 placed himself in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him. 004 NUM 022 023 And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way. 004 NUM 022 024 Then the angel of the LORD stood in a hollow way between the vineyards, a fence being on this side, and a fence on that side. 004 NUM 022 025 And the ass saw the angel of the LORD, and she thrust herself unto 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 the ass saw the angel of the LORD, and she lay down under Balaam: and Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with his staff. 004 NUM 022 028 And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? 004 NUM 022 029 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now I had killed thee. 004 NUM 022 030 And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden all thy life long unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto 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, with his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed his head, and fell on his face. 004 NUM 022 032 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I am come forth for an adversary, because thy way is perverse before me: 004 NUM 022 033 and the ass saw me, and turned aside before me these three times: unless she had turned aside from me, surely now I had even slain thee, and saved her alive. 004 NUM 022 034 And Balaam said unto 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 get me back again. 004 NUM 022 035 And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak. 004 NUM 022 036 And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto the City of Moab, which is on the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost part of the border. 004 NUM 022 037 And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honour? 004 NUM 022 038 And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to speak 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 unto Kiriath-huzoth. 004 NUM 022 040 And Balak sacrificed oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him. 004 NUM 022 041 And it came to pass in the morning, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, and he saw from thence the utmost part of the people. 004 NUM 023 001 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams. 004 NUM 023 002 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram. 004 NUM 023 003 And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go; peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to a bare height. 004 NUM 023 004 And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar. 004 NUM 023 005 And the LORD put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak. 004 NUM 023 006 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt offering, he, and all the princes of Moab. 004 NUM 023 007 And he took up his parable, and said, From Aram hath Balak brought me, The king of Moab from the mountains of the East: Come, curse me Jacob, And come, defy Israel. 004 NUM 023 008 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? And 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, it is a people that dwell alone, And shall not be reckoned among the nations. 004 NUM 023 010 Who can count the dust of Jacob, Or number 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 unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine 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 putteth in my mouth? 004 NUM 023 013 And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them; thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence. 004 NUM 023 014 And he took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar. 004 NUM 023 015 And he said unto 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, Return unto Balak, and thus shalt thou speak. 004 NUM 023 017 And he came to him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the LORD spoken? 004 NUM 023 018 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; Hearken unto 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 bringeth them forth out of Egypt; He hath as it were the strength of the wild-ox. 004 NUM 023 023 Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob, Neither is there any divination with Israel: Now shall it be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought! 004 NUM 023 024 Behold, the people riseth up as a lioness, And as a lion doth he lift himself up: He shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, And drink the blood of the slain. 004 NUM 023 025 And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all. 004 NUM 023 026 But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do? 004 NUM 023 027 And Balak said unto Balaam, Come now, I will take thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence. 004 NUM 023 028 And Balak took Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh down upon the desert. 004 NUM 023 029 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams. 004 NUM 023 030 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bullock 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 the other times, to meet with enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness. 004 NUM 024 002 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling 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 saith, And the man whose eye was closed saith: 004 NUM 024 004 He saith, which heareth the words of God, Which seeth the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, and having his eyes open: 004 NUM 024 005 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, Thy tabernacles, O Israel! 004 NUM 024 006 As valleys are they spread forth, As gardens by the river side, As lign-aloes which the LORD hath planted, As cedar trees beside the waters. 004 NUM 024 007 Water shall flow from 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 bringeth him forth out of Egypt; He hath as it were the strength of the wild-ox: He shall eat up the nations his adversaries, And shall break their bones in pieces, And smite [them] through with his arrows. 004 NUM 024 009 He couched, he lay down as a lion, And as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? Blessed be every one that blesseth thee, And cursed be every one that curseth thee. 004 NUM 024 010 And Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine 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 unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour. 004 NUM 024 012 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying, 004 NUM 024 013 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; what the LORD speaketh, that will I speak? 004 NUM 024 014 And now, behold, I go unto my people: come, [and] I will advertise 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 saith, And the man whose eye was closed saith: 004 NUM 024 016 He saith, which heareth the words of God, And knoweth the knowledge of the Most High, Which seeth the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, and having his eyes open: 004 NUM 024 017 I see him, but not now: I behold him, but not nigh: There shall come forth a star out of Jacob, And a sceptre shall rise out of Israel, And shall smite through the corners of Moab, And break down all the sons of tumult. 004 NUM 024 018 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession, [which were] his enemies; While Israel doeth valiantly. 004 NUM 024 019 And out of Jacob shall one have dominion, And shall destroy the remnant from the city. 004 NUM 024 020 And he looked on Amalek, and took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; But his latter end shall come to destruction. 004 NUM 024 021 And he looked on the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwelling place, And thy nest is set in the rock. 004 NUM 024 022 Nevertheless Kain 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 But ships [shall come] from the coast of Kittim, And they shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, And he also shall come to destruction. 004 NUM 024 025 And Balaam rose up, 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 whoredom with the daughters of Moab: 004 NUM 025 002 for they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods; and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods. 004 NUM 025 003 And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel. 004 NUM 025 004 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up unto the LORD before the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may turn away from Israel. 004 NUM 025 005 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that have joined themselves unto Baal-peor. 004 NUM 025 006 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the tent of meeting. 004 NUM 025 007 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand; 004 NUM 025 008 and he went after the man of Israel into the pavilion, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly.

he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth. 004 NUM 030 003 Also when a woman voweth a vow unto the LORD, and bindeth herself by a bond, being in her father’s house, in her youth; 004 NUM 030 004 and her father heareth her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father holdeth his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand. 004 NUM 030 005 But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; none of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her. 004 NUM 030 006 And if she be [married] to a husband, while her vows are upon her, or the rash utterance of her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul; 004 NUM 030 007 and her husband hear it, and hold his peace at her in the day that he heareth it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand. 004 NUM 030 008 But if her husband disallow her in the day that he heareth it; then he shall make void her vow which is upon her, and the rash utterance of her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul: and the LORD shall forgive her. 004 NUM 030 009 But the vow of a widow, or of her that is divorced, [even] every thing wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand against her. 004 NUM 030 010 And if she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath, 004 NUM 030 011 and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand. 004 NUM 030 012 But if her husband made them null and void in the day that he heard them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her. 004 NUM 030 013 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void. 004 NUM 030 014 But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he hath established them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them. 004 NUM 030 015 But if he shall make them null and void after that he hath heard them; 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 a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father’s house. 004 NUM 031 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 004 NUM 031 002 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people. 004 NUM 031 003 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm ye men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute the LORD’S vengeance 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, a thousand of every tribe, to the war, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand. 004 NUM 031 007 And they warred against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew every male. 004 NUM 031 008 And they slew the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain; Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the 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 captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took for a prey. 004 NUM 031 010 And all their cities in the places wherein they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire. 004 NUM 031 011 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and of beast. 004 NUM 031 012 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho. 004 NUM 031 013 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp. 004 NUM 031 014 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, which came from the service of the war. 004 NUM 031 015 And Moses said unto 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 so the plague was 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 women children, that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. 004 NUM 031 019 And encamp ye without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, ye and your captives. 004 NUM 031 020 And as to every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats’ [hair], and all things made of wood, ye shall purify yourselves. 004 NUM 031 021 And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the statute of the law which the LORD hath commanded Moses: 004 NUM 031 022 howbeit 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 to 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 to 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 spake unto 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 heads of the fathers’ [houses] of the congregation: 004 NUM 031 027 and divide the prey into two parts; between the men skilled in war, that went out to battle, and all the congregation: 004 NUM 031 028 and levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war that went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, [both] of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the flocks: 004 NUM 031 029 take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for the LORD’S heave offering. 004 NUM 031 030 And of the children of Israel’s half, thou shalt take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, [even] of all the cattle, and give them unto the Levites, which 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 Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep, 004 NUM 031 033 and threescore and twelve thousand beeves, 004 NUM 031 034 and threescore and one thousand asses, 004 NUM 031 035 and thirty and two thousand persons in all, of the 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 thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep: 004 NUM 031 037 and the LORD’S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen. 004 NUM 031 038 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD’S tribute was threescore and twelve. 004 NUM 031 039 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD’S tribute was threescore and one. 004 NUM 031 040 And the persons were sixteen thousand; of whom 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, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses. 004 NUM 031 042 And of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided off from the men that warred, 004 NUM 031 043 (now the congregation’s half was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand, seven thousand and five hundred sheep, 004 NUM 031 044 and thirty and six thousand beeves, 004 NUM 031 045 and thirty thousand and five hundred asses, 004 NUM 031 046 and sixteen thousand persons; ) 004 NUM 031 047 even of the children of Israel’s half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses. 004 NUM 031 048 And the officers which were over the thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses: 004 NUM 031 049 and they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us. 004 NUM 031 050 And we have brought the LORD’S oblation, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, ankle chains, and bracelets, signet-rings, earrings, and armlets, to make 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 heave offering that they offered up 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 booty, 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 tent of meeting, 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 spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying, 004 NUM 032 003 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon, 004 NUM 032 004 the land which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle. 004 NUM 032 005 And they said, If we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession; bring us not over Jordan. 004 NUM 032 006 And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to the war, and shall ye sit here? 004 NUM 032 007 And wherefore 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 Kadesh-barnea to see the land. 004 NUM 032 009 For when they went up unto 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 in that day, and he sware, saying, 004 NUM 032 011 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me: 004 NUM 032 012 save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun: because they have wholly followed the LORD. 004 NUM 032 013 And the LORD’S anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander to and fro 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 are 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 ye shall destroy all this people. 004 NUM 032 016 And they came near unto 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 be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land. 004 NUM 032 018 We will not return unto 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 Jordan, and forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward. 004 NUM 032 020 And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing; If ye will arm yourselves to go before the LORD to the war, 004 NUM 032 021 and every armed man of you will pass over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him, 004 NUM 032 022 and the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless towards the LORD, and towards Israel; and this land shall be unto you for a 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 you 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 spake unto 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 that is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith. 004 NUM 032 028 So Moses gave charge concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of the tribes of the children of Israel. 004 NUM 032 029 And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man that is armed to 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 unto thy servants, so will we do. 004 NUM 032 032 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance [shall remain] with us beyond Jordan. 004 NUM 032 033 And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto the half 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, according to the cities thereof with [their] borders, even the cities of the land round about. 004 NUM 032 034 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer; 004 NUM 032 035 and Atroth-shophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah; 004 NUM 032 036 and Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran: fenced cities, and folds for sheep. 004 NUM 032 037 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim; 004 NUM 032 038 and Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their names being changed, ) and Sibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded. 004 NUM 032 039 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites which were therein. 004 NUM 032 040 And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein. 004 NUM 032 041 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the towns thereof, and called them Havvoth-jair. 004 NUM 032 042 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name. 004 NUM 033 001 These are the journeys of the children of Israel, when they went forth out of the land of Egypt by their hosts 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 journeyed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians, 004 NUM 033 004 while the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments. 004 NUM 033 005 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth. 004 NUM 033 006 And they journeyed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness. 004 NUM 033 007 And they journeyed from Etham, and turned back unto Pi-hahiroth, which is before Baal-zephon: and they pitched before Migdol. 004 NUM 033 008 And they journeyed from before Hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness: and they went three days’ journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah. 004 NUM 033 009 And they journeyed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim were twelve springs of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they pitched there. 004 NUM 033 010 And they journeyed from Elim, and pitched by the Red Sea. 004 NUM 033 011 And they journeyed from the Red Sea, and pitched in the wilderness of Sin. 004 NUM 033 012 And they journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, and pitched in Dophkah. 004 NUM 033 013 And they journeyed from Dophkah, and pitched in Alush. 004 NUM 033 014 And they journeyed from Alush, and pitched in Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink. 004 NUM 033 015 And they journeyed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of Sinai. 004 NUM 033 016 And they journeyed from the wilderness of Sinai, and pitched in Kibroth-hattaavah. 004 NUM 033 017 And they journeyed from Kibroth-hattaavah, and pitched in Hazeroth. 004 NUM 033 018 And they journeyed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah. 004 NUM 033 019 And they journeyed from Rithmah, and pitched in Rimmon-perez. 004 NUM 033 020 And they journeyed from Rimmon-perez, and pitched in Libnah. 004 NUM 033 021 And they journeyed from Libnah, and pitched in Rissah. 004 NUM 033 022 And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah. 004 NUM 033 023 And they journeyed from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shepher. 004 NUM 033 024 And they journeyed from mount Shepher, and pitched in Haradah. 004 NUM 033 025 And they journeyed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth. 004 NUM 033 026 And they journeyed from Makheloth, and pitched in Tahath. 004 NUM 033 027 And they journeyed from Tahath, and pitched in Terah. 004 NUM 033 028 And they journeyed from Terah, and pitched in Mithkah. 004 NUM 033 029 And they journeyed from Mithkah, and pitched in Hashmonah. 004 NUM 033 030 And they journeyed from Hashmonah, and pitched in Moseroth. 004 NUM 033 031 And they journeyed from Moseroth, and pitch in Bene-jaakan. 004 NUM 033 032 And they journeyed from Bene-jaakan, and pitched in Hor-haggidgad. 004 NUM 033 033 And they journeyed from Hor-haggidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah. 004 NUM 033 034 And they journeyed from Jotbathah, and pitched in Abronah. 004 NUM 033 035 And they journeyed from Abronah, and pitched in Ezion-geber. 004 NUM 033 036 And they journeyed from Ezion-geber, and pitched in the wilderness of Zin (the same is Kadesh). 004 NUM 033 037 And they journeyed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom. 004 NUM 033 038 And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on the first day of the 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 the Canaanite, the king of Arad, which dwelt in the South in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel. 004 NUM 033 041 And they journeyed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah. 004 NUM 033 042 And they journeyed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon. 004 NUM 033 043 And they journeyed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth. 004 NUM 033 044 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched in Iye-abarim, in the border of Moab. 004 NUM 033 045 And they journeyed from Iyim, and pitched in Dibon-gad. 004 NUM 033 046 And they journeyed from Dibon-gad, and pitched in Almon-diblathaim. 004 NUM 033 047 And they journeyed from Almon-diblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo. 004 NUM 033 048 And they journeyed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. 004 NUM 033 049 And they pitched by Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth even unto Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab. 004 NUM 033 050 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, 004 NUM 033 051 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye pass over Jordan into the land of Canaan, 004 NUM 033 052 then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their figured [stones], and destroy all their molten images, and demolish all their high places: 004 NUM 033 053 and ye shall take possession of the land, and dwell therein: for unto you have I given the land to possess it. 004 NUM 033 054 And ye shall inherit the land by lot according to your families;

and the border shall go down, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward: 004 NUM 034 012 and the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out thereof shall be at the Salt Sea: this shall be your land according to the borders thereof round about. 004 NUM 034 013 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD hath commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe: 004 NUM 034 014 for the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their fathers’ houses, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to their fathers’ houses, have received, and the half tribe of Manasseh have received, their inheritance: 004 NUM 034 015 the two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising. 004 NUM 034 016 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 004 NUM 034 017 These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. 004 NUM 034 018 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land for inheritance. 004 NUM 034 019 And these are the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 004 NUM 034 020 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud. 004 NUM 034 021 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon. 004 NUM 034 022 And of the tribe of the children of Dan a prince, Bukki the son of Jogli. 004 NUM 034 023 Of the children of Joseph: of the tribe of the children of Manasseh a prince, Hanniel the son of Ephod: 004 NUM 034 024 and of the tribe of the children of Ephraim a prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan. 004 NUM 034 025 And of the tribe of the children of Zebulun a prince, Elizaphan the son of Parnach. 004 NUM 034 026 And of the tribe of the children of Issachar a prince, Paltiel the son of Azzan. 004 NUM 034 027 And of the tribe of the children of Asher a prince, Ahihud the son of Shelomi. 004 NUM 034 028 And of the tribe of the children of Naphtali a prince, Pedahel the son of Ammihud. 004 NUM 034 029 These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan. 004 NUM 035 001 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, 004 NUM 035 002 Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and suburbs for the cities round about them shall ye give unto the Levites. 004 NUM 035 003 And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and their suburbs shall be for their cattle, and for their substance, and for all their beasts. 004 NUM 035 004 And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about. 004 NUM 035 005 And ye shall measure without the city for the east side two thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand cubits, and for the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north side two thousand cubits, the city being in the midst. This shall be to them the suburbs of the cities. 004 NUM 035 006 And the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites, they shall be the six cities of refuge, which ye shall give for the manslayer to flee thither: and beside them ye shall give forty and two cities. 004 NUM 035 007 All the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them [shall ye give] with their suburbs. 004 NUM 035 008 And concerning the cities which ye shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the many ye shall take many; and from the few ye shall take few: every one according to his inheritance which he inheriteth shall give of his cities unto the Levites. 004 NUM 035 009 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 004 NUM 035 010 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye pass over Jordan into the land of Canaan, 004 NUM 035 011 then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the manslayer which killeth any person unwittingly may flee thither. 004 NUM 035 012 And the cities shall be unto you for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation for judgment. 004 NUM 035 013 And the cities which ye shall give shall be for you six cities of refuge. 004 NUM 035 014 Ye shall give three cities beyond Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge. 004 NUM 035 015 For the children of Israel, and for the stranger and for the sojourner among them, shall these six cities be for refuge: that every one that killeth any person unwittingly may flee thither. 004 NUM 035 016 But if he smote him with an instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a manslayer: the manslayer shall surely be put to death. 004 NUM 035 017 And if he smote him with a stone in the hand, whereby a man may die, and he died, he is a manslayer: the manslayer shall surely be put to death. 004 NUM 035 018 Or if he smote him with a weapon of wood in the hand, whereby a man may die, and he died, he is a manslayer: the manslayer shall surely be put to death. 004 NUM 035 019 The avenger of blood shall himself put the manslayer to death: when he meeteth him, he shall put him to death. 004 NUM 035 020 And if he thrust him of hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait, so that he died; 004 NUM 035 021 or in enmity smote him with his hand, that he died: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; he is a manslayer: the avenger of blood shall put the manslayer to death, when he meeteth him. 004 NUM 035 022 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or hurled upon him any thing without lying in wait, 004 NUM 035 023 or with any stone, whereby a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, so that he died, and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm: 004 NUM 035 024 then the congregation shall judge between the smiter and the avenger of blood according to these judgments: 004 NUM 035 025 and the congregation shall deliver the manslayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil. 004 NUM 035 026 But if the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge, whither he fleeth; 004 NUM 035 027 and the avenger of blood find him without the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood slay the manslayer; he shall not be guilty of blood: 004 NUM 035 028 because he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the manslayer shall return into the land of his possession. 004 NUM 035 029 And these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 004 NUM 035 030 Whoso killeth any person, the manslayer shall be slain at the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person that he die. 004 NUM 035 031 Moreover ye shall take no ransom for the life of a manslayer, which is guilty of death: but he shall surely be put to death. 004 NUM 035 032 And ye shall take no ransom for him that is fled to his city of 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 wherein ye are: for blood, it polluteth the land: and no expiation can be made for the land for the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. 004 NUM 035 034 And thou shalt not defile the land which ye inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell: for I the LORD dwell in the midst of the children of Israel. 004 NUM 036 001 And the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of the family of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of the children of Israel: 004 NUM 036 002 and they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters. 004 NUM 036 003 And if they be married to any of the sons of the [other] tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be added to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they shall belong: so shall it be taken away from the lot of our inheritance. 004 NUM 036 004 And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be added unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they shall belong: 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 speaketh right. 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 no inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for the children of Israel shall cleave every one 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 unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may possess every man the inheritance of his fathers. 004 NUM 036 009 So shall no inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall cleave every one 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 unto their father’s brothers’ sons. 004 NUM 036 012 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 unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. # # BOOK 005 DEU Deuteronomy Deuteronomy 005 DEU 001 001 These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel beyond Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah over against Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-zahab. 005 DEU 001 002 It is eleven days’ [journey] from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh-barnea. 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 spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them; 005 DEU 001 004 after he had smitten Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt in Ashtaroth, at Edrei: 005 DEU 001 005 beyond Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying, 005 DEU 001 006 The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mountain: 005 DEU 001 007 turn you, and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites, and unto all [the places] nigh thereunto, in the Arabah, in the hill country, and in the lowland, and in the South, and by the sea shore, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as 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 sware unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them. 005 DEU 001 009 And I spake unto 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, the 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 myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife? 005 DEU 001 013 Take you wise men, and understanding, and known, according to your tribes, and I will make them heads 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 of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, according to 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 a man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him. 005 DEU 001 017 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; ye shall hear the small and the great alike; 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 ye shall bring unto 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 we journeyed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which ye saw, by the way to the hill country of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea. 005 DEU 001 020 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the hill country of the Amorites, which the LORD our God giveth unto us. 005 DEU 001 021 Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up, take possession, as the LORD, the God of thy fathers, hath spoken unto thee; fear not, neither be dismayed. 005 DEU 001 022 And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, Let us send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and the cities unto which we shall come. 005 DEU 001 023 And the thing pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one man for every tribe: 005 DEU 001 024 and they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out. 005 DEU 001 025 And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the LORD our God giveth unto us. 005 DEU 001 026 Yet 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 out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us. 005 DEU 001 028 Whither are we going up? our brethren have made our heart to melt, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fenced up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there. 005 DEU 001 029 Then I said unto 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 that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came unto this place. 005 DEU 001 032 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God, 005 DEU 001 033 who went before you in the way, to seek you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in the cloud by day. 005 DEU 001 034 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying, 005 DEU 001 035 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see the good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers, 005 DEU 001 036 save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, he shall see it; and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden 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 thither: 005 DEU 001 038 Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage thou 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 this day have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it. 005 DEU 001 040 But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea. 005 DEU 001 041 Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And ye girded on every man his weapons of war, and were forward to go up into the mountain. 005 DEU 001 042 And the LORD said unto me, Say unto 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 spake unto you, and ye hearkened not; but ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and were presumptuous, and went up into the mountain. 005 DEU 001 044 And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even unto Hormah. 005 DEU 001 045 And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD hearkened not to your voice, nor gave ear unto you. 005 DEU 001 046 So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode [there]. 005 DEU 002 001 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as the LORD spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days. 005 DEU 002 002 And the LORD spake unto me, saying, 005 DEU 002 003 Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward. 005 DEU 002 004 And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the border of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore: 005 DEU 002 005 contend not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on: because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession. 005 DEU 002 006 Ye shall purchase 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 work of thy hand: he hath known 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 So we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion-geber. And we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab. 005 DEU 002 009 And the LORD said unto me, Vex not Moab, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of his land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession. 005 DEU 002 010 (The Emim dwelt therein aforetime, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim: 005 DEU 002 011 these also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim. 005 DEU 002 012 The Horites also dwelt in Seir aforetime, but the children of Esau succeeded them; and they destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which the LORD gave unto them.) 005 DEU 002 013 Now rise up, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered. 005 DEU 002 014 And the days in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, were thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as the LORD sware unto them. 005 DEU 002 015 Moreover the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, 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 spake unto me, saying, 005 DEU 002 018 Thou art this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab: 005 DEU 002 019 and when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, vex them not, nor contend with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon for a possession: because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession. 005 DEU 002 020 (That also is accounted a land of Rephaim: Rephaim dwelt therein aforetime; but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim; 005 DEU 002 021 a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead: 005 DEU 002 022 as he did for the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day: 005 DEU 002 023 and the Avvim which dwelt in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.) 005 DEU 002 024 Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the valley of Arnon: behold, I have given into thine 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 peoples that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee. 005 DEU 002 026 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto 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 unto 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 let me pass through on my feet; 005 DEU 002 029 as the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto 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 at this day. 005 DEU 002 031 And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to deliver up 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, unto battle at Jahaz. 005 DEU 002 033 And the LORD our God delivered him up 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 every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones; we left none remaining: 005 DEU 002 035 only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we had taken. 005 DEU 002 036 From Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of Arnon, and [from] the city that is in the valley, even unto Gilead, there was not a city too high for us: the LORD our God delivered up all before us: 005 DEU 002 037 only to the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not near; all the side of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill country, and wheresoever the LORD our God forbade 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, unto battle at Edrei. 005 DEU 003 002 And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I have delivered him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. 005 DEU 003 003 So the LORD our God delivered into our hand 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; threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 005 DEU 003 005 All these were cities fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside the unwalled towns a great many. 005 DEU 003 006 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones. 005 DEU 003 007 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey unto ourselves. 005 DEU 003 008 And we took the land at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites that were beyond Jordan, from the valley of Arnon unto mount Hermon; 005 DEU 003 009 ([which] Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir; ) 005 DEU 003 010 all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salecah 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 the Rephaim; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbah of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.) 005 DEU 003 012 And this land we took in possession at that time: from Aroer, which is by the valley of Arnon, and half the hill country of Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites: 005 DEU 003 013 and the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, even all Bashan. (The same is called the land of Rephaim. 005 DEU 003 014 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, unto the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites; and called them, even Bashan, after his own name, Havvoth-jair, unto this day.) 005 DEU 003 015 And I gave Gilead unto Machir. 005 DEU 003 016 And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the valley of Arnon, the middle of the valley, and the border [thereof]; even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon; 005 DEU 003 017 the Arabah also, and Jordan and the border [thereof], from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah 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 the men of valour. 005 DEU 003 019 But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (I know that ye have much cattle, ) shall abide in your cities which I have given you; 005 DEU 003 020 until the LORD give rest unto your brethren, as unto you, and they also possess the land which the LORD your God giveth them beyond Jordan: then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given you. 005 DEU 003 021 And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall the LORD do unto all the kingdoms whither thou goest over. 005 DEU 003 022 Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth 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 shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy strong hand: for what god is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy mighty acts? 005 DEU 003 025 Let me go over, I pray thee, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon. 005 DEU 003 026 But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and hearkened not unto me: and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter. 005 DEU 003 027 Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold with thine 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 over against Beth-peor. 005 DEU 004 001 And now, O Israel, hearken unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them; that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, giveth you. 005 DEU 004 002 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish 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 Baal-peor: for all the men that followed Baal-peor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from the midst of thee. 005 DEU 004 004 But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every 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 midst of the land whither ye go in 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 peoples, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. 005 DEU 004 007 For what great nation is there, that hath a god so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is whensoever we call upon him? 005 DEU 004 008 And what great nation is there, 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 forget the things which thine eyes saw, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life; but make them known unto thy children and thy children’s children; 005 DEU 004 010 the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Assemble me the people, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they 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 unto the heart of heaven, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness. 005 DEU 004 012 And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of words, but ye saw no form; only [ye heard] a voice. 005 DEU 004 013 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even the 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 whither ye go over to possess it. 005 DEU 004 015 Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of form on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire: 005 DEU 004 016 lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image in the form 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 heaven, 005 DEU 004 018 the likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth: 005 DEU 004 019 and lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the host of heaven, thou be drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all the peoples under the whole heaven. 005 DEU 004 020 But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as at this day. 005 DEU 004 021 Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto 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 unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image in the form of any thing which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee. 005 DEU 004 024 For the LORD thy God is a devouring fire, a jealous God. 005 DEU 004 025 When thou shalt beget children, and children’s children, and ye shall have been long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image in the form of any thing, and shall do that which is 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 off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed. 005 DEU 004 027 And the LORD shall scatter you among the peoples, and ye shall be left few in number among the nations, whither the LORD shall lead you away. 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 thence ye shall seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou search after him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. 005 DEU 004 030 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, in the latter days thou shalt return to the LORD thy God, and hearken unto his voice: 005 DEU 004 031 for the LORD thy God is a merciful God; he will not fail thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto 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 from the one end of heaven unto 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 out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live? 005 DEU 004 034 Or hath God assayed to go and take him 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 a stretched out 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 Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him. 005 DEU 004 036 Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he made thee to see his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of 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 with his presence, with his great power, out of Egypt; 005 DEU 004 038 to drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as at this day. 005 DEU 004 039 Know therefore this day, and lay it to thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above and upon the earth beneath: there is none else. 005 DEU 004 040 And thou shalt keep his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever. 005 DEU 004 041 Then Moses separated three cities beyond Jordan toward the sunrising; 005 DEU 004 042 that the manslayer might flee thither, which slayeth his neighbour unawares, and hated him not in time past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live: 005 DEU 004 043 [namely], Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, for 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 spake unto the children of Israel, when they came forth out of Egypt; 005 DEU 004 046 beyond Jordan, in the valley over against Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, when they came forth out of Egypt: 005 DEU 004 047 and they took his land in possession, and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, which were beyond Jordan toward the sunrising; 005 DEU 004 048 from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of Arnon, even unto mount Sion (the same is Hermon), 005 DEU 004 049 and all the Arabah beyond Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah. 005 DEU 005 001 And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and observe to 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 spake with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire, 005 DEU 005 005 (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to shew you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid because of the fire, and went not up into the mount; ) saying, 005 DEU 005 006 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 005 DEU 005 007 Thou shalt have none other gods before me. 005 DEU 005 008 Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, [the likeness of] any form that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 005 DEU 005 009 thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me; 005 DEU 005 010 and shewing mercy unto 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 Observe the sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the LORD thy God commanded thee. 005 DEU 005 013 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 005 DEU 005 014 but the seventh day is a sabbath unto the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou. 005 DEU 005 015 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God brought thee out thence by a mighty hand and by a stretched out 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 commanded thee: that thy days may be long, and that it may go well with thee, upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 005 DEU 005 017 Thou shalt do no murder. 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 covet thy neighbour’s wife; neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour’s house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour’s. 005 DEU 005 022 These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of 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 upon two tables of stone, and gave them unto me. 005 DEU 005 023 And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the mountain did burn with fire, that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders; 005 DEU 005 024 and ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath shewed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth speak 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 unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it. 005 DEU 005 028 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken. 005 DEU 005 029 Oh 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 ye to your tents. 005 DEU 005 031 But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandment, 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 way 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 this is the commandment, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it: 005 DEU 006 002 that thou mightest 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, the God of thy fathers, hath promised unto thee, in a land flowing 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 thine 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 upon thine heart: 005 DEU 006 007 and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine 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 thine hand, and they shall be for frontlets between thine eyes. 005 DEU 006 009 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thy house, and upon thy gates. 005 DEU 006 010 And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee; great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not, 005 DEU 006 011 and houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and cisterns hewn out, which thou hewedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not, and thou shalt eat and be full; 005 DEU 006 012 then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 005 DEU 006 013 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; and him shalt thou serve, and shalt swear by his name. 005 DEU 006 014 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples which are round about you; 005 DEU 006 015 for the LORD thy God in the midst of thee is a jealous God; lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and he 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 sware unto thy fathers, 005 DEU 006 019 to thrust out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken. 005 DEU 006 020 When thy son asketh 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 unto thy son, We were Pharaoh’s bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand: 005 DEU 006 022 and the LORD shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his house, before our eyes: 005 DEU 006 023 and he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto 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 at this day. 005 DEU 006 025 And it shall be righteousness unto us, if we observe to do all this commandment 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 whither thou goest to possess it, and shall cast out many nations before thee, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations greater and mightier than thou; 005 DEU 007 002 and when the LORD thy God shall deliver them up before thee, and thou shalt smite them; then thou shalt utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them: 005 DEU 007 003 neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. 005 DEU 007 004 For he 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 he will destroy thee quickly. 005 DEU 007 005 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and hew down their Asherim, and burn their graven images with fire. 005 DEU 007 006 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all peoples 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 peoples: 005 DEU 007 008 but because the LORD loveth you, and because he would keep the oath which he sware unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of 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, which 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 commandment, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them. 005 DEU 007 012 And it shall come to pass, because ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep with thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto 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 body and the fruit of thy ground, thy corn and thy wine and thine oil, the increase of thy kine and the young of thy flock, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. 005 DEU 007 014 Thou shalt be blessed above all peoples: 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 he 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 peoples which the LORD thy God shall deliver unto thee; thine eye shall not pity them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee. 005 DEU 007 017 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them? 005 DEU 007 018 thou shalt not be afraid of them: thou shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt; 005 DEU 007 019 the great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the peoples 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, perish from before thee. 005 DEU 007 021 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is in the midst of thee, a great God and a terrible. 005 DEU 007 022 And the LORD thy God will cast 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 up before thee, and shall discomfit them with a great discomfiture, until they be destroyed. 005 DEU 007 024 And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt make their name to perish from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them. 005 DEU 007 025 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God: 005 DEU 007 026 and thou shalt not bring an abomination into thine house, and become a devoted thing like unto it: thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing. 005 DEU 008 001 All the commandment 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 sware unto 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, that he might humble thee, to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. 005 DEU 008 003 And he humbled thee, and suffered 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 thing that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. 005 DEU 008 004 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years. 005 DEU 008 005 And thou shalt consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. 005 DEU 008 006 And 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, springing forth in valleys and hills; 005 DEU 008 008 a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of oil olives and honey; 005 DEU 008 009 a land wherein 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 And thou shalt eat and be full, and thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. 005 DEU 008 011 Beware lest thou forget 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 therein; 005 DEU 008 013 and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; 005 DEU 008 014 then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; 005 DEU 008 015 who led thee through the great and terrible wilderness, [wherein were] fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where 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 prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end: 005 DEU 008 017 and thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine 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 sware unto thy fathers, as at this day. 005 DEU 008 019 And it shall be, if thou shalt 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 maketh to perish before you, so shall ye perish; because ye would not hearken unto 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 fenced up to heaven, 005 DEU 009 002 a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the sons of Anak? 005 DEU 009 003 Know therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee as a devouring fire; he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thee: so shalt thou drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as the LORD hath spoken unto thee. 005 DEU 009 004 Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath thrust them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: whereas 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 thine heart, dost thou go in 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 establish the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 005 DEU 009 006 Know 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, forget thou not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou wentest forth out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD. 005 DEU 009 008 Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you. 005 DEU 009 009 When I was gone up into 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 did neither eat bread nor drink water. 005 DEU 009 010 And the LORD delivered unto me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them [was written] according to all the words, which the LORD spake with you in the mount out of 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 unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image. 005 DEU 009 013 Furthermore the LORD spake unto 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; ye had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you. 005 DEU 009 017 And I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake 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 did neither eat bread nor drink water; because of all your sin which ye sinned, in doing that which was evil 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, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me 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 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, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount. 005 DEU 009 022 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath. 005 DEU 009 023 And when the LORD sent you from Kadesh-barnea, 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 So I fell down before the LORD the forty days and forty nights that I fell down; because the LORD had said he would destroy you. 005 DEU 009 026 And I prayed unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thine 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 unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin: 005 DEU 009 028 lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised unto 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 thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy great power and by thy stretched out arm. 005 DEU 010 001 At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood. 005 DEU 010 002 And I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark. 005 DEU 010 003 So I made an ark of acacia wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand. 005 DEU 010 004 And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me. 005 DEU 010 005 And I turned and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as the LORD commanded me. 005 DEU 010 006 (And the children of Israel journeyed from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah: 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 thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water. 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 unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day. 005 DEU 010 009 Wherefore Levi hath no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God spake unto him.) 005 DEU 010 010 And I stayed in the mount, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights: and the LORD hearkened unto me that time also; the LORD would not destroy thee. 005 DEU 010 011 And the LORD said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people; and they shall go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto 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, unto the LORD thy God belongeth the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that therein is. 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 peoples, as at 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, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward. 005 DEU 010 018 He doth execute 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 by his name shalt thou swear. 005 DEU 010 021 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen. 005 DEU 010 022 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten 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, alway. 005 DEU 011 002 And know ye this day: for [I speak] not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm, 005 DEU 011 003 and his signs, and his works, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land; 005 DEU 011 004 and what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto 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 unto this day; 005 DEU 011 005 and what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came unto this place; 005 DEU 011 006 and what he did unto 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 every living thing that followed them, in the midst of all Israel: 005 DEU 011 007 but your eyes have seen all the great work of the LORD which he did. 005 DEU 011 008 Therefore shall ye keep all the commandment which I command thee this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go over to possess it; 005 DEU 011 009 and that ye may prolong your days upon the land, which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey. 005 DEU 011 010 For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs: 005 DEU 011 011 but the land, whither ye go over 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 unto the end of the year. 005 DEU 011 013 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto 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 the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil. 005 DEU 011 015 And I will give grass in thy fields for thy cattle, and thou shalt eat and be full. 005 DEU 011 016 Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; 005 DEU 011 017 and the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and 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 ye shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes. 005 DEU 011 019 And ye shall teach them your children, talking of them, when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 005 DEU 011 020 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates: 005 DEU 011 021 that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, upon the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth. 005 DEU 011 022 For if ye shall diligently keep all this commandment which I command you, to do it; to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him; 005 DEU 011 023 then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess nations greater and mightier than yourselves. 005 DEU 011 024 Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea shall be your border. 005 DEU 011 025 There shall no man be able to stand before you: 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 spoken unto you. 005 DEU 011 026 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; 005 DEU 011 027 the blessing, if ye shall hearken unto the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day: 005 DEU 011 028 and the curse, if ye shall not hearken unto the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of 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 shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt set the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal. 005 DEU 011 030 Are they not beyond Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites which dwell in the Arabah, over against Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh? 005 DEU 011 031 For ye are to pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein. 005 DEU 011 032 And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and the judgments which I set before you this day. 005 DEU 012 001 These are the statutes and the judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land which the LORD, the God of thy fathers, hath given thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth. 005 DEU 012 002 Ye shall surely destroy all the places, wherein 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 break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and burn their Asherim with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods; and ye shall destroy their name out of that place. 005 DEU 012 004 Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God. 005 DEU 012 005 But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come: 005 DEU 012 006 and thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock: 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 unto, ye and your households, wherein 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 whatsoever 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 thy God giveth thee. 005 DEU 012 010 But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God causeth you to inherit, and he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety; 005 DEU 012 011 then it shall come to pass that the place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there, thither 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 unto the LORD: 005 DEU 012 012 and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates, forasmuch as he hath no portion 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 Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh within all thy gates, after all the desire of thy soul, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the gazelle, and as of the hart. 005 DEU 012 016 Only ye shall not eat the blood; thou shalt pour it out upon the earth as water. 005 DEU 012 017 Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thine oil, or the firstlings of thy herd or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, nor the heave offering of thine hand: 005 DEU 012 018 but thou shalt 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 manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine hand unto. 005 DEU 012 019 Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon thy land. 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 desireth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, after all the desire of thy soul. 005 DEU 012 021 If the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to put his name there 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 within thy gates, after all the desire of thy soul. 005 DEU 012 022 Even as the gazelle and as the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat thereof: the unclean and the clean shall eat thereof alike. 005 DEU 012 023 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou shalt not eat the life with the flesh. 005 DEU 012 024 Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it out upon the earth as water. 005 DEU 012 025 Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the eyes of the LORD. 005 DEU 012 026 Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto 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 go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the eyes of the LORD thy God. 005 DEU 012 029 When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest in to possess them, and thou possessest them, and dwellest in their land; 005 DEU 012 030 take heed to thyself that thou be not ensnared to follow them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How do these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. 005 DEU 012 031 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters do they burn in the fire to their gods. 005 DEU 012 032 What thing soever I command you, that shall ye observe to do: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. 005 DEU 013 001 If there arise in the midst of thee a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he give thee a sign or a wonder, 005 DEU 013 002 and the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto 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 unto the words of that prophet, or unto that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth 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 unto him. 005 DEU 013 005 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken rebellion against the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage, to draw thee aside out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put away 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, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; 005 DEU 013 007 of the gods of the peoples which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; 005 DEU 013 008 thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: 005 DEU 013 009 but thou shalt surely kill him; thine 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 die; because he hath sought to draw thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of 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 in the midst of thee. 005 DEU 013 012 If thou shalt hear tell concerning one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to dwell there, saying, 005 DEU 013 013 Certain base fellows are gone out from the midst of thee, and have drawn away 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 inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in the midst of thee; 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 therein and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword. 005 DEU 013 016 And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, unto the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be built again. 005 DEU 013 017 And there shall cleave nought of the devoted thing to thine hand: that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and shew thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto 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 unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all peoples that are upon the face of 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 gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the antelope, and the chamois. 005 DEU 014 006 And every beast that parteth the hoof, and hath the hoof cloven in two, [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 have the hoof cloven: the camel, and the hare, and the coney, because they chew the cud but part not the hoof, they are unclean unto you: 005 DEU 014 008 and the swine, because he parteth the hoof but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you: of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcases ye shall not touch. 005 DEU 014 009 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales shall ye eat: 005 DEU 014 010 and whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye shall not eat; it is unclean unto you. 005 DEU 014 011 Of all clean birds ye may eat. 005 DEU 014 012 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the gier eagle, and the ospray; 005 DEU 014 013 and the glede, and the falcon, and the kite after its kind; 005 DEU 014 014 and every raven after its kind; 005 DEU 014 015 and the ostrich, and the night hawk, and the seamew, and the hawk after its kind; 005 DEU 014 016 the little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl; 005 DEU 014 017 and the pelican, and the vulture, and the cormorant; 005 DEU 014 018 and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat. 005 DEU 014 019 And all winged creeping things are unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten. 005 DEU 014 020 Of all clean fowls ye may eat. 005 DEU 014 021 Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself: thou mayest give it unto the stranger that is within thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto a foreigner: for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother’s milk. 005 DEU 014 022 Thou shalt surely tithe all the increase of thy seed, that which cometh forth of the field year by year. 005 DEU 014 023 And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always. 005 DEU 014 024 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it, because the place is too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God shall bless thee: 005 DEU 014 025 then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: 005 DEU 014 026 and thou shalt bestow the money for whatsoever thy soul desireth, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul asketh of thee: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou and thine household: 005 DEU 014 027 and the Levite that is within thy gates, thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee. 005 DEU 014 028 At the end of every three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase in the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates: 005 DEU 014 029 and the Levite, because he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which 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 thine 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 shall release that which he hath lent unto his neighbour; he shall not exact it of his neighbour and his brother; because the LORD’S release hath been proclaimed. 005 DEU 015 003 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it: but whatsoever of thine is with thy brother thine hand shall release. 005 DEU 015 004 Howbeit there shall be no poor with thee; (for the LORD will surely bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it; ) 005 DEU 015 005 if only thou diligently hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all this commandment which I command thee this day. 005 DEU 015 006 For the LORD thy God will bless thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over thee. 005 DEU 015 007 If there be with thee a poor man, one of thy brethren, within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother: 005 DEU 015 008 but thou shalt surely open thine hand unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need [in that] which he wanteth. 005 DEU 015 009 Beware that there be not a base thought in thine heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou give him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee. 005 DEU 015 010 Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy work, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto. 005 DEU 015 011 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt surely open thine hand unto thy brother, to thy needy, and to thy poor, in thy land. 005 DEU 015 012 If thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto 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 lettest him go free from thee, thou shalt not let him go empty: 005 DEU 015 014 thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy threshing-floor, and out of thy winepress: as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him. 005 DEU 015 015 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing today. 005 DEU 015 016 And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go out from thee; because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with thee; 005 DEU 015 017 then thou shalt take an awl, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise. 005 DEU 015 018 It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou lettest him go free from thee; for to the double of the hire of an hireling hath he served 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 are born of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thine ox, 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 it have any blemish, [as if it be] lame or blind, any ill blemish whatsoever, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the LORD thy God. 005 DEU 015 022 Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean [shall eat it] alike, as the gazelle, and as the hart. 005 DEU 015 023 Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it out upon the ground as water. 005 DEU 016 001 Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night. 005 DEU 016 002 And thou shalt sacrifice the passover unto the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to cause his name to dwell there. 005 DEU 016 003 Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life. 005 DEU 016 004 And there shall be no leaven seen with thee in all thy borders seven days; neither shall any of the flesh, which thou sacrificest the first day at even, 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 cause his name to dwell in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of 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 turn in the morning, and go unto 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; thou shalt do no work [therein]. 005 DEU 016 009 Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: from the time thou beginnest to put the sickle to the standing corn shalt thou begin to number seven weeks. 005 DEU 016 010 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give, according as the LORD thy God blesseth thee: 005 DEU 016 011 and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are in the midst of thee, in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there. 005 DEU 016 012 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes. 005 DEU 016 013 Thou shalt keep the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in from thy threshing-floor and from thy winepress: 005 DEU 016 014 and thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates. 005 DEU 016 015 Seven days shalt thou keep a feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the work of thine hands, and thou shalt be altogether joyful. 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, according to thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment. 005 DEU 016 019 Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons: neither shalt thou take a gift; for a gift 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 an Asherah of any kind of tree beside the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee. 005 DEU 016 022 Neither shalt thou set thee up a pillar; which the LORD thy God hateth. 005 DEU 017 001 Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God an ox, or a sheep, wherein is a blemish, [or] any evil-favouredness: for that is an abomination unto the LORD thy God. 005 DEU 017 002 If there be found in the midst of thee, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that doeth that which is evil 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, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded; 005 DEU 017 004 and it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, then shalt thou inquire diligently, and, behold, if it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel; 005 DEU 017 005 then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have done this evil thing, unto thy gates, even the man or the woman; and thou shalt stone them with stones, that they die. 005 DEU 017 006 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is to die be put to death; at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death. 005 DEU 017 007 The hand of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So thou shalt put away the evil from the midst of thee. 005 DEU 017 008 If there 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 get thee up unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose; 005 DEU 017 009 and thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days: and thou shalt inquire; and they shall shew thee the sentence of judgment: 005 DEU 017 010 and thou shalt do according to the tenor of the sentence, which they shall shew thee from that place which the LORD shall choose; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they shall teach thee: 005 DEU 017 011 according to the tenor of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not turn aside from the sentence which they shall shew thee, to the right hand, nor to the left. 005 DEU 017 012 And the man that doeth presumptuously, in not hearkening unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away 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 unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein; and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are round about me; 005 DEU 017 015 thou shalt in any wise 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 put a foreigner over thee, which is not thy brother. 005 DEU 017 016 Only 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 unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way. 005 DEU 017 017 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart 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 therein 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 be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not 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, [even] all the tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance. 005 DEU 018 002 And they shall have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath spoken unto them. 005 DEU 018 003 And this shall be the priests’ due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw. 005 DEU 018 004 The firstfruits of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine 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 come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourneth, and come with all the desire of his soul unto 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, which stand there before the LORD. 005 DEU 018 008 They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony. 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 with thee any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one that useth divination, one that practiseth augury, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, 005 DEU 018 011 or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 005 DEU 018 012 For whosoever doeth these things is an abomination unto 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, hearken unto them that practise augury, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do. 005 DEU 018 015 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; 005 DEU 018 016 according to all that thou desiredst 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 die not. 005 DEU 018 017 And the LORD said unto me, They have well said that which they have spoken. 005 DEU 018 018 I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. 005 DEU 018 019 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. 005 DEU 018 020 But the prophet, which shall speak a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die. 005 DEU 018 021 And if thou say in thine 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 follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken: the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously, thou shalt not be afraid of him. 005 DEU 019 001 When the LORD thy God shall 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 separate 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 the way, and divide the borders of thy land, which the LORD thy God causeth thee to inherit, into three parts, that every manslayer may flee thither. 005 DEU 019 004 And this is the case of the manslayer, which shall flee thither and live: whoso killeth his neighbour unawares, and hated him 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 fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one of these cities and live: 005 DEU 019 006 lest the avenger of blood pursue the manslayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and smite him mortally; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past. 005 DEU 019 007 Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thee. 005 DEU 019 008 And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy border, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers; 005 DEU 019 009 if thou shalt keep all this commandment to do it, 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, beside these three: 005 DEU 019 010 that innocent blood be not shed in the midst of 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 hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die; and he flee into one of these cities: 005 DEU 019 012 then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die. 005 DEU 019 013 Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee. 005 DEU 019 014 Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour’s landmark, which they of old time have set, in thine 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 a matter be established. 005 DEU 019 016 If an unrighteous witness rise up against any man to testify against him of wrong-doing; 005 DEU 019 017 then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges which shall be in those days; 005 DEU 019 018 and the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother; 005 DEU 019 019 then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to do unto his brother: so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee. 005 DEU 019 020 And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil in the midst of thee. 005 DEU 019 021 And thine eye shall not pity; life [shall go] for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. 005 DEU 020 001 When thou goest forth to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, [and] a people more than thou, thou shalt not be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 005 DEU 020 002 And it shall be, when ye draw nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people, 005 DEU 020 003 and shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye draw nigh this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your heart faint; fear not, nor tremble, neither be ye affrighted at 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 unto 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 die in the battle, and another man dedicate it. 005 DEU 020 006 And what man is there that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not used the fruit thereof? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man use the fruit thereof. 005 DEU 020 007 And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her. 005 DEU 020 008 And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren’s heart melt as his heart. 005 DEU 020 009 And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people, that they shall appoint captains of hosts at the head of the people. 005 DEU 020 010 When thou drawest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it. 005 DEU 020 011 And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people that is found therein shall become tributary unto thee, and 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 delivereth it into thine hand, thou shalt smite every male thereof 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 thereof, shalt thou take for a prey unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee. 005 DEU 020 015 Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations. 005 DEU 020 016 But of the cities of these peoples, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth: 005 DEU 020 017 but thou shalt utterly destroy them; the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee: 005 DEU 020 018 that they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto 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 thereof by wielding an axe against them; for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down; for is the tree of the field man, that it should be besieged of thee? 005 DEU 020 020 Only the trees which thou knowest that they be not trees for meat, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it fall. 005 DEU 021 001 If one 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 smitten him: 005 DEU 021 002 then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain: 005 DEU 021 003 and it shall be, that the city which is nearest unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer of the herd, which hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke; 005 DEU 021 004 and the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a valley with running water, which is neither plowed nor sown, and shall break 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 unto him, and to bless in the name of the LORD; and according to their word shall every controversy and every stroke be: 005 DEU 021 006 and all the elders of that city, who are nearest unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken 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 Forgive, O LORD, thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and suffer not innocent blood [to remain] in the midst of thy people Israel. And the blood shall be forgiven them. 005 DEU 021 009 So shalt thou put away the innocent blood from the midst of thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the eyes of the LORD. 005 DEU 021 010 When thou goest forth to battle against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God delivereth them into thine hands, and thou carriest them away captive, 005 DEU 021 011 and seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and thou hast a desire unto her, and wouldest take her to thee to wife; 005 DEU 021 012 then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails; 005 DEU 021 013 and she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife. 005 DEU 021 014 And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not deal with her as a slave, because thou hast humbled her. 005 DEU 021 015 If a man have two wives, the one beloved, and the other 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, in the day that he causeth his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved the firstborn before the son of the hated, which is the firstborn: 005 DEU 021 017 but he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the hated, 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 have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and though they chasten him, will not hearken unto them: 005 DEU 021 019 then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; 005 DEU 021 020 and they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a riotous liver, and a drunkard. 005 DEU 021 021 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. 005 DEU 021 022 And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be put to death, and thou 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 the same day; for he that is hanged is accursed of God; that thou defile not thy land 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 hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely bring them again unto thy brother. 005 DEU 022 002 And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it home to thine house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again. 005 DEU 022 003 And so shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his garment; and so shalt thou do with every lost thing of thy brother’s, which he hath lost, and thou hast found: thou mayest not hide thyself. 005 DEU 022 004 Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ass or his ox fallen down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again. 005 DEU 022 005 A woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for whosoever doeth these things is an abomination unto the LORD thy God. 005 DEU 022 006 If a bird’s nest chance to be before thee in the way, in any tree or on the ground, 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 thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, but the young thou mayest take unto thyself; 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 battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence. 005 DEU 022 009 Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with two kinds of seed: lest the whole fruit be forfeited, the seed which thou hast sown, and the increase of the vineyard. 005 DEU 022 010 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together. 005 DEU 022 011 Thou shalt not wear a mingled stuff, wool and linen together. 005 DEU 022 012 Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four borders of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself. 005 DEU 022 013 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her, 005 DEU 022 014 and lay shameful things to her charge, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came nigh to her, I found not in her the tokens of virginity: 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 unto the elders of the city in the gate: 005 DEU 022 016 and the damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her; 005 DEU 022 017 and, lo, he hath laid shameful things [to her charge], saying, I found not in thy daughter the tokens of virginity; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the garment before the elders of the city. 005 DEU 022 018 And the elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him; 005 DEU 022 019 and they shall amerce him in an hundred [shekels] of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up 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 be true, that the tokens of virginity were not found in 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 die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the harlot in her father’s house: so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee. 005 DEU 022 022 If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away the evil from Israel. 005 DEU 022 023 If there be a damsel that is a virgin betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; 005 DEU 022 024 then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they 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 put away the evil from the midst of thee. 005 DEU 022 025 But if the man find the damsel that is betrothed in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her; then the man only that lay with her shall die: 005 DEU 022 026 but unto 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; the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her. 005 DEU 022 028 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which 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 unto 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, and shall not uncover his father’s skirt. 005 DEU 023 001 He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the assembly of the LORD. 005 DEU 023 002 A bastard shall not enter into the assembly of the LORD; even to the tenth generation shall none of his enter into the assembly of the LORD. 005 DEU 023 003 An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of the LORD; even to the tenth generation shall none belonging to them enter into the assembly 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 out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee. 005 DEU 023 005 Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto 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 of the third generation that are born unto them shall enter into the assembly of the LORD. 005 DEU 023 009 When thou goest forth in camp against thine enemies, then thou shalt keep thee from every evil thing. 005 DEU 023 010 If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of that which chanceth 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 bathe himself in water: and when the sun is down, he shall come within the camp. 005 DEU 023 012 Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad: 005 DEU 023 013 and thou shalt have a paddle among thy weapons; and it shall be, when thou sittest down abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, 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 thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee. 005 DEU 023 015 Thou shalt not deliver unto his master a servant which is escaped from his master unto thee: 005 DEU 023 016 he shall dwell with thee, in the midst of thee, in the place which he shall choose within one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him. 005 DEU 023 017 There shall be no harlot of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel. 005 DEU 023 018 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the wages of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are an abomination unto the LORD thy God. 005 DEU 023 019 Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury: 005 DEU 023 020 unto a foreigner thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou puttest thine hand unto, in the land whither thou goest in to possess it. 005 DEU 023 021 When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not be slack 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 gone out of thy lips thou shalt observe and do; according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God, a freewill offering, which thou hast promised with thy mouth. 005 DEU 023 024 When thou comest into thy neighbour’s vineyard, then thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel. 005 DEU 023 025 When thou comest into thy neighbour’s standing corn, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour’s standing corn. 005 DEU 024 001 When a man taketh a wife, and marrieth her, then it shall be, if she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some unseemly thing in her, that he shall 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 is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s [wife]. 005 DEU 024 003 And if the latter husband 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 die, which took her to be his wife; 005 DEU 024 004 her former husband, which 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 taketh a new wife, he shall not go out in the host, neither shall he be charged with any business: he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer his wife which he hath taken. 005 DEU 024 006 No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh [a man’s] life to pledge. 005 DEU 024 007 If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and he deal with him as a slave, or sell him; then that thief shall die: so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee. 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 unto Miriam, by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt. 005 DEU 024 010 When thou dost lend thy neighbour any manner of loan, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge. 005 DEU 024 011 Thou shalt stand without, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring forth the pledge without unto thee. 005 DEU 024 012 And if he be a poor man, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge: 005 DEU 024 013 thou shalt surely restore to him the pledge when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his garment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the LORD thy God. 005 DEU 024 014 Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates: 005 DEU 024 015 in 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 cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto 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 wrest the judgment of the stranger, [nor] of the fatherless; nor take the widow’s raiment to pledge: 005 DEU 024 018 but thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing. 005 DEU 024 019 When thou reapest thine 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 thine hands. 005 DEU 024 020 When thou beatest thine 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 after thee: 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 bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing. 005 DEU 025 001 If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, and [the judges] 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 wickedness, by number. 005 DEU 025 003 Forty stripes he may give him, he shall not exceed: lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee. 005 DEU 025 004 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out [the corn]. 005 DEU 025 005 If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no son, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband’s brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband’s brother unto her. 005 DEU 025 006 And it shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not blotted out of Israel. 005 DEU 025 007 And if the man like not to take his brother’s wife, then his brother’s wife shall go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband’s brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of an husband’s brother unto me. 005 DEU 025 008 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he stand, and say, I like not to take her; 005 DEU 025 009 then shall his brother’s wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face; and she shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto the man that doth 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 for to deliver her husband out of 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, thine eye shall have no pity. 005 DEU 025 013 Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small. 005 DEU 025 014 Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small. 005 DEU 025 015 A perfect and just weight shalt thou have; a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 005 DEU 025 016 For all that do such things; [even] all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the LORD thy God. 005 DEU 025 017 Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt; 005 DEU 025 018 how he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, 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 thine enemies round about, 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. 005 DEU 026 001 And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein; 005 DEU 026 002 that thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which thou shalt bring in from thy land that the LORD thy God giveth thee; and thou shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there. 005 DEU 026 003 And thou shalt come unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the LORD thy God, that I am come unto the land which the LORD sware unto our fathers for to give us. 005 DEU 026 004 And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God. 005 DEU 026 005 And thou shalt answer and say before the LORD thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, few in number; and he became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous: 005 DEU 026 006 and the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage: 005 DEU 026 007 and we cried unto the LORD, the God of our fathers, and the LORD heard our voice, and saw our affliction, and our toil, and our oppression: 005 DEU 026 008 and the LORD brought us forth 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, a land flowing with milk and honey. 005 DEU 026 010 And now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt set it down before the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy God: 005 DEU 026 011 and thou shalt rejoice in all the good which the LORD thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that is in the midst of thee. 005 DEU 026 012 When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithe of thine increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then thou shalt give it unto the Levite, to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled; 005 DEU 026 013 and thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have put away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandment which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed any of thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them: 005 DEU 026 014 I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I put away thereof, being unclean, nor given thereof for the dead: I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, I 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 ground which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey. 005 DEU 026 016 This day the LORD thy God commandeth thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. 005 DEU 026 017 Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and that thou shouldest walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and hearken unto his voice: 005 DEU 026 018 and the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be a peculiar people unto himself, 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 unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken. 005 DEU 027 001 And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandment which I command you this day. 005 DEU 027 002 And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaister them with plaister: 005 DEU 027 003 and thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over; that thou mayest go in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD, the God of thy fathers, hath promised thee. 005 DEU 027 004 And it shall be when ye are passed over Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister. 005 DEU 027 005 And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt lift up no iron [tool] upon them. 005 DEU 027 006 Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy God of unhewn stones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD thy God: 005 DEU 027 007 and thou shalt sacrifice peace offerings, and shalt eat there; and thou shalt 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 spake unto all Israel, saying, Keep silence, 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 are passed over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin: 005 DEU 027 013 and these shall stand upon mount Ebal for the curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. 005 DEU 027 014 And the Levites shall answer, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice, 005 DEU 027 015 Cursed be the man that maketh a graven or molten image, an abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and setteth it up in secret. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen. 005 DEU 027 016 Cursed be he that setteth light by 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 wresteth 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 hath uncovered 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 in secret. 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 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 unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all the nations of the earth: 005 DEU 028 002 and all these blessings shall come upon thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto 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 kine, and the young of thy flock. 005 DEU 028 005 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy kneadingtrough. 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 thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thee: they shall come out against thee one way, and shall flee before thee seven ways. 005 DEU 028 008 The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy barns, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto: and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 005 DEU 028 009 The LORD shall establish thee for an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee; if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. 005 DEU 028 010 And all the peoples 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 plenteous for good, 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 sware unto thy fathers to give thee. 005 DEU 028 012 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure the heaven to give the rain of thy land in its season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto 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 unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do [them]; 005 DEU 028 014 and shalt not turn aside from any of the words which I command you 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 unto 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 kneadingtrough. 005 DEU 028 018 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, the increase of thy kine, and the young of thy flock. 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, discomfiture, and rebuke, in all that thou puttest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the evil of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me. 005 DEU 028 021 The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest in to possess it. 005 DEU 028 022 The LORD shall smite thee with consumption, and with fever, and with inflammation, and with fiery heat, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou 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 be destroyed. 005 DEU 028 025 The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and shalt flee seven ways before them: and thou shalt be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth. 005 DEU 028 026 And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and there shall be none to fray them away. 005 DEU 028 027 The LORD shall smite thee with the boil of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scurvy, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. 005 DEU 028 028 The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and with blindness, and with astonishment of heart: 005 DEU 028 029 and thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled alway, and there shall be none to 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 therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not use the fruit thereof. 005 DEU 028 031 Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to save thee. 005 DEU 028 032 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day: and there shall be nought in the power of thine hand. 005 DEU 028 033 The fruit of thy ground, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway: 005 DEU 028 034 so that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. 005 DEU 028 035 The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore boil, whereof thou canst not be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the crown of thy head. 005 DEU 028 036 The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which thou hast not known, thou nor thy fathers; 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 the peoples whither the LORD shall lead thee away. 005 DEU 028 038 Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather little in; for the locust shall consume it. 005 DEU 028 039 Thou shalt plant vineyards and dress them, but thou shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather [the grapes]; for the worm shall eat them. 005 DEU 028 040 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy borders, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil: for thine olive shall cast [its fruit]. 005 DEU 028 041 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but they shall not be thine; for they shall go into captivity. 005 DEU 028 042 All thy trees and the fruit of thy ground shall the locust possess. 005 DEU 028 043 The stranger that is in the midst of thee shall mount up above thee higher and higher; and thou shalt come down lower and lower. 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 And all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto 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 servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, by reason of the abundance of all things: 005 DEU 028 048 therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee. 005 DEU 028 049 The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand; 005 DEU 028 050 a nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young: 005 DEU 028 051 and he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy ground, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee corn, wine, or oil, the increase of thy kine, or the young of thy flock, until he have caused thee to perish. 005 DEU 028 052 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, 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 thine 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 straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall straiten thee. 005 DEU 028 054 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 which he hath remaining: 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 straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall straiten thee in all thy gates. 005 DEU 028 056 The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure 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 that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear; for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly: in the siege and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall straiten 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 sore sicknesses, and of long continuance. 005 DEU 028 060 And he will bring upon thee again all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto 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 be destroyed. 005 DEU 028 062 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou didst not hearken unto 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 cause you to perish, and to destroy you; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest in to possess it. 005 DEU 028 064 And the LORD shall scatter thee among all peoples, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou nor thy fathers, even wood and stone. 005 DEU 028 065 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of thy foot: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and pining of soul: 005 DEU 028 066 and thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear night and day, and shalt have none assurance of thy life: 005 DEU 028 067 in the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart which thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. 005 DEU 028 068 And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I said unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall sell yourselves unto your enemies for bondmen and for bondwomen, 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, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb. 005 DEU 029 002 And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land; 005 DEU 029 003 the great temptations which thine eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders: 005 DEU 029 004 but the LORD hath not given you an heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day. 005 DEU 029 005 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old 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 unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them: 005 DEU 029 008 and we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of the Manassites. 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 heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, even all the men of Israel, 005 DEU 029 011 your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in the midst of thy camps, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water: 005 DEU 029 012 that thou shouldest enter into the covenant of 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 this day unto himself for a people, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he spake unto thee, and as he sware unto 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 dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the midst of the nations through which ye passed; 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 to serve the gods of those nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood; 005 DEU 029 019 and it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of mine heart, to destroy the moist with the dry: 005 DEU 029 020 the LORD will not pardon him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curse that is 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 separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law. 005 DEU 029 022 And the generation to come, your children that shall rise up after you, and the foreigner that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses wherewith the LORD hath made it sick; 005 DEU 029 023 [and that] the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, [and] a burning, [that] it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath: 005 DEU 029 024 even all the nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger? 005 DEU 029 025 Then men shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of the LORD, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt; 005 DEU 029 026 and went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them: 005 DEU 029 027 therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curse that is 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 at this day. 005 DEU 029 029 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but the things that are revealed belong unto 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 are 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, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee, 005 DEU 030 002 and shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine 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 peoples, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee. 005 DEU 030 004 If [any of] thine outcasts be in the uttermost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch 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 thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine 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 thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which 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 plenteous in all the work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, 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 obey the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law; if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. 005 DEU 030 011 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not too hard for 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 unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may 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 unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it? 005 DEU 030 014 But the word is very nigh unto 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 that the LORD thy God may bless thee in the land whither thou goest in to possess it. 005 DEU 030 017 But if thine heart turn away, and thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; 005 DEU 030 018 I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish; ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go in to possess it. 005 DEU 030 019 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before thee life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed: 005 DEU 030 020 to love the LORD thy God, to obey his voice, and to cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them. 005 DEU 031 001 And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel. 005 DEU 031 002 And he said unto them, I am an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: and the LORD hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan. 005 DEU 031 003 The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee; 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 spoken. 005 DEU 031 004 And the LORD shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and unto their land; whom he destroyed. 005 DEU 031 005 And the LORD shall deliver them up before you, and ye shall do unto them according unto all the commandment which I have commanded you. 005 DEU 031 006 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be affrighted at 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 unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt go with this people into the land which the LORD hath sworn unto 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 unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and unto all the elders of Israel. 005 DEU 031 010 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of [every] seven years, in the set time 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 Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little ones, 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, which have not known, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it. 005 DEU 031 014 And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tent of meeting, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tent of meeting. 005 DEU 031 015 And the LORD appeared in the Tent in a pillar of cloud: and the pillar of cloud stood over the door of the Tent. 005 DEU 031 016 And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the strange gods of the land, whither 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 come upon them; so that they will say in that day, Are 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 evil which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods. 005 DEU 031 019 Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach thou it 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 sware unto their fathers, flowing with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant. 005 DEU 031 021 And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are come upon them, that this song shall testify before them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware. 005 DEU 031 022 So Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it 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 sware unto them: and I will be with thee. 005 DEU 031 024 And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished, 005 DEU 031 025 that Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying, 005 DEU 031 026 Take this book of the law, and put it by 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 unto 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 witness 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 that which is evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands. 005 DEU 031 030 And Moses spake in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, until they were finished. 005 DEU 032 001 Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak; And let the earth hear 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 grass, And as the showers upon the herb: 005 DEU 032 003 For I will proclaim the name of the LORD: Ascribe ye greatness unto our God. 005 DEU 032 004 The Rock, his work is perfect; For all his ways are judgment: A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, Just and right is he. 005 DEU 032 005 They have dealt corruptly with him, [they are] not his children, [it is] their blemish; [They are] a perverse and crooked generation. 005 DEU 032 006 Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? Is not he thy father that hath bought thee? He hath 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 shew thee; Thine elders, and they will tell thee. 005 DEU 032 008 When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, When he separated the children of men, He set the bounds of the peoples 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 compassed him about, he cared for him, He kept him as the apple of his eye: 005 DEU 032 011 As an eagle that stirreth up her nest, That fluttereth over her young, He spread abroad his wings, he took them, He bare them on his pinions: 005 DEU 032 012 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, And he did eat the increase of the field; And he made him to suck honey out of the rock, And oil out of the flinty rock; 005 DEU 032 014 Butter of kine, 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 of the blood of the grape thou drankest wine. 005 DEU 032 015 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: Thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art become sleek: Then he forsook God which made him, And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. 005 DEU 032 016 They moved him to jealousy with strange [gods], With abominations provoked they him to anger. 005 DEU 032 017 They sacrificed unto demons, [which were] no God, To gods whom they knew not, To new [gods] that came up of late, Whom your fathers dreaded not. 005 DEU 032 018 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, And hast forgotten God that gave thee birth. 005 DEU 032 019 And the LORD saw [it], and abhorred [them], Because of the provocation of his sons and 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 froward 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 which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. 005 DEU 032 022 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, And burneth unto the lowest pit, And devoureth the earth with her increase, And setteth on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585) 005 DEU 032 023 I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them: 005 DEU 032 024 [They shall be] wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat And bitter destruction; And the teeth of beasts will I send upon them, With the poison of crawling things of the dust. 005 DEU 032 025 Without shall the sword bereave, And in the chambers terror; [It shall destroy] both young man and virgin, The suckling with the man of gray hairs. 005 DEU 032 026 I said, I would scatter them afar, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men: 005 DEU 032 027 Were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, Lest their adversaries should misdeem, Lest they should say, Our hand is exalted, And the LORD hath not done all this. 005 DEU 032 028 For they are a nation void of counsel, And there is no understanding in them. 005 DEU 032 029 Oh 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 delivered 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, Sealed up among my treasures? 005 DEU 032 035 Vengeance is mine, and recompence, At the time when their foot shall slide: For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things that are to come upon them shall make haste. 005 DEU 032 036 For the LORD shall judge his people, And repent himself for his servants; When he seeth that [their] power is gone, And there is none [remaining], shut up or left at large. 005 DEU 032 037 And he shall say, Where are their gods, The rock in which they trusted; 005 DEU 032 038 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, [And] drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise up and help you, Let them 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 have wounded, and I heal: And there is none that can deliver out of my hand. 005 DEU 032 040 For I lift up my hand to heaven, And say, As I live for ever, 005 DEU 032 041 If I whet my glittering sword, And mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine adversaries, And will recompense them that hate me. 005 DEU 032 042 I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, And my sword shall devour flesh; With the blood of the slain and the captives, From the head of the leaders of 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 make expiation for his land, for his people. 005 DEU 032 044 And Moses came and spake 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 made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel: 005 DEU 032 046 And he said unto them, Set your heart unto all the words which I testify unto 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 no vain thing for you; because it is your life, and through this thing ye shall prolong your days upon the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it. 005 DEU 032 048 And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying, 005 DEU 032 049 Get thee up into this mountain of Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession: 005 DEU 032 050 and die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people: 005 DEU 032 051 because ye trespassed against me in the midst of the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel. 005 DEU 032 052 For thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither into the land which I give the children of Israel. 005 DEU 033 001 And this is the blessing, wherewith 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 from Seir unto them; He shined forth from mount Paran, And he came from the ten thousands of holy ones: At his right hand was a fiery law unto them. 005 DEU 033 003 Yea, he loveth the peoples; 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, An inheritance for the assembly of Jacob. 005 DEU 033 005 And he was king in Jeshurun, When the heads of the people were gathered, All the tribes of Israel together. 005 DEU 033 006 Let Reuben live, and not die; Yet 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 in unto his people: With his hands he contended for himself; And thou shalt be an help against his adversaries. 005 DEU 033 008 And of Levi he said, Thy Thummim and thy Urim are with thy godly one, Whom thou didst prove at Massah, With whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah; 005 DEU 033 009 Who said of his father, and of his mother, I have not seen him; Neither did he acknowledge his brethren, Nor knew he his own children: For they have observed thy word, And keep 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 offering upon thine altar. 005 DEU 033 011 Bless, LORD, his substance, And accept the work of his hands: Smite through the loins of them that rise up against him, And of them that hate him, that they rise not again. 005 DEU 033 012 Of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; He covereth him all the day long, And he dwelleth 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 things of the fruits of the sun, And for the precious things of the growth of the moons, 005 DEU 033 015 And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, And for the precious things of the everlasting hills, 005 DEU 033 016 And for the precious things of the earth and the fulness thereof, And the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: Let [the blessing] come upon the head of Joseph, And upon the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren. 005 DEU 033 017 The firstling of his bullock, majesty is his; And his horns are the horns of the wild-ox: With them he shall push the peoples all of them, [even] 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 peoples unto the mountain; There shall they offer sacrifices of righteousness: For they shall suck the abundance of the seas, And the hidden treasures of the sand. 005 DEU 033 020 And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: He dwelleth as a lioness, And teareth the arm, yea, the crown of the head. 005 DEU 033 021 And he provided the first part for himself, For there was the lawgiver’s portion reserved; 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, That leapeth forth 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, Blessed be Asher with children; Let him be acceptable unto his brethren, And let him dip his foot in oil. 005 DEU 033 025 Thy bars shall be iron and brass; And as thy days, so shall thy strength be. 005 DEU 033 026 There is none like unto God, O Jeshurun, Who rideth upon the heaven for thy help, And in his excellency on the skies. 005 DEU 033 027 The eternal God is [thy] dwelling place, And underneath are the everlasting arms: And he thrust out the enemy from before thee, And said, Destroy. 005 DEU 033 028 And Israel dwelleth in safety, The fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of corn and wine; Yea, his heavens drop down dew. 005 DEU 033 029 Happy art thou, O Israel: Who is like unto thee, a people saved by the LORD, The shield of thy help, And that is the sword of thy excellency! And thine enemies shall submit themselves unto thee; And thou shalt tread upon their high places. 005 DEU 034 001 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the LORD shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan; 005 DEU 034 002 and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the hinder sea; 005 DEU 034 003 and the South, and the Plain of the valley of Jericho the city of palm trees, unto Zoar. 005 DEU 034 004 And the LORD said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither. 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 the valley in the land of Moab over against Beth-peor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto 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 in the 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 unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses. 005 DEU 034 010 And there hath not arisen a prophet since in Israel like unto 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 the mighty hand, and in all the great terror, which Moses wrought in the sight of all Israel. # # BOOK 006 JOS Joshua Joshua 006 JOS 001 001 Now it came to pass after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, that the LORD spake unto 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, unto 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, to you have I given it, as I spake unto Moses. 006 JOS 001 004 From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border. 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 thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 006 JOS 001 007 Only be strong and very courageous, to 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 have good success whithersoever thou goest. 006 JOS 001 008 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: 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 affrighted, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. 006 JOS 001 010 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, 006 JOS 001 011 Pass through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye are to 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 the half tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying, 006 JOS 001 013 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God giveth you rest, and will give you this land. 006 JOS 001 014 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall abide in the land which Moses gave you beyond Jordan; but ye shall pass over before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and shall help them; 006 JOS 001 015 until the LORD 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 unto the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you beyond Jordan toward the sunrising. 006 JOS 001 016 And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou hast commanded us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us we will go. 006 JOS 001 017 According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses. 006 JOS 001 018 Whosoever he be that shall rebel against thy commandment, and shall not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage. 006 JOS 002 001 And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men as spies secretly, saying, Go view the land, and Jericho. And they went, and came into the house of an harlot whose name was Rahab, and lay there. 006 JOS 002 002 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to-night of the children of Israel to search out the land. 006 JOS 002 003 And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all the land. 006 JOS 002 004 And the woman took the two men, and hid them; and she said, Yea, the men came unto me, but I wist not whence they were: 006 JOS 002 005 and it came to pass about the time of the shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them. 006 JOS 002 006 But she had brought them up to the roof, 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 after them the way to Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate. 006 JOS 002 008 And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof; 006 JOS 002 009 and she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you. 006 JOS 002 010 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea before you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond Jordan, unto Sihon and to Og, whom ye utterly destroyed. 006 JOS 002 011 And as soon as we had heard it, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more spirit in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath. 006 JOS 002 012 Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have dealt kindly with you, that ye also will deal kindly with 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 will deliver our lives from death. 006 JOS 002 014 And the men said unto her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business; and it shall be, when the LORD giveth 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 unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers light upon you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way. 006 JOS 002 017 And the men said unto her, We will be guiltless of this thine oath which thou hast made us to swear. 006 JOS 002 018 Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt gather unto thee into the house thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father’s household. 006 JOS 002 019 And it shall be, that whosoever 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 whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him. 006 JOS 002 020 But if thou utter this our business, then we will be guiltless of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear. 006 JOS 002 021 And she said, According unto 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 unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not. 006 JOS 002 023 Then the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun; and they told him all that had befallen them. 006 JOS 002 024 And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land; and moreover all the inhabitants of the land do melt away before us. 006 JOS 003 001 And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel; and they lodged there before they passed over. 006 JOS 003 002 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the midst of the camp; 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 unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go; for ye have not passed this way heretofore. 006 JOS 003 005 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you. 006 JOS 003 006 And Joshua spake unto 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 unto 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 are come to the brink of the waters of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan. 006 JOS 003 009 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God. 006 JOS 003 010 And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Hivite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite. 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 you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, for every tribe a man. 006 JOS 003 013 And it shall come to pass, when 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, even the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand in one heap. 006 JOS 003 014 And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, the priests that bare the ark of the covenant being before the people; 006 JOS 003 015 and when they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brink 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 one heap, a great way off, at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan: and those that went down toward the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho. 006 JOS 003 017 And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all Israel passed over on dry ground, until all the nation were passed clean over Jordan. 006 JOS 004 001 And it came to pass, when all the nation were clean passed over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying, 006 JOS 004 002 Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man, 006 JOS 004 003 and command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests’ feet stood firm, twelve stones, and carry them over with you, and lay them down 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, out of every tribe a man: 006 JOS 004 005 and Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take you up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto 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 in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones? 006 JOS 004 007 then ye shall say unto them, Because 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 unto 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 out of the midst of Jordan, as the LORD spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel; and they carried them over with them unto 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 which bare the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there, unto this day. 006 JOS 004 010 For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until every thing was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak unto 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 were clean passed over, 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 the half tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spake unto them: 006 JOS 004 013 about forty thousand ready armed for war passed over before the LORD unto 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 spake unto 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 bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the priests’ feet were lifted up unto the dry ground, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and went over all its banks, as aforetime. 006 JOS 004 019 And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, on 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 spake unto 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 were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were passed over: 006 JOS 004 024 that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty; that they may fear the LORD your God for ever. 006 JOS 005 001 And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were beyond Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard how that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were 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 unto Joshua, Make thee knives of flint, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time. 006 JOS 005 003 And Joshua made him knives of flint, 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 forth out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came forth out of Egypt. 006 JOS 005 005 For 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 out of Egypt, they had not circumcised. 006 JOS 005 006 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the nation, even the men of war which came forth out of Egypt, were consumed, because they hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not let them see the land which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey. 006 JOS 005 007 And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them did Joshua circumcise: 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 nation, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole. 006 JOS 005 009 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of that place was called Gilgal, unto this day. 006 JOS 005 010 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal; and they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho. 006 JOS 005 011 And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes and parched corn, in the selfsame day. 006 JOS 005 012 And the manna ceased on the morrow, after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat 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 over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto 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 did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? 006 JOS 005 015 And the captain of the LORD’S host said unto Joshua, Put off thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so. 006 JOS 006 001 (NOW Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.) 006 JOS 006 002 And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour. 006 JOS 006 003 And ye shall compass the city, all the men of war, going about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days. 006 JOS 006 004 And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets. 006 JOS 006 005 And it shall be, 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 unto 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 they said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let the armed men pass on before the ark of the LORD. 006 JOS 006 008 And it was so, that when Joshua had spoken unto the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the LORD passed on, 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 the trumpets, and the rearward went after the ark, [the priests] blowing with the trumpets as they went. 006 JOS 006 010 And Joshua commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout. 006 JOS 006 011 So he caused the ark of the LORD to compass 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 the seven priests bearing the 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; and the rearward came after the ark of the LORD, [the priests] blowing with the trumpets as they went. 006 JOS 006 014 And the second day they compassed 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 at the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed 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 unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city. 006 JOS 006 017 And the city shall be devoted, even it and all that is therein, 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 any wise keep yourselves from the devoted thing, lest when ye have devoted it, ye take of the devoted thing; so should ye make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it. 006 JOS 006 019 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are holy unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD. 006 JOS 006 020 So the people shouted, and [the priests] blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, that the people shouted with a great shout, and 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, both young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword. 006 JOS 006 022 And Joshua said unto the two men that had spied out the land, Go into the harlot’s house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her. 006 JOS 006 023 And the young men the spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had, all her kindred also they brought out; and they set them without the camp of Israel. 006 JOS 006 024 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: 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 But Rahab the harlot, and her father’s household, and all that she had, did Joshua save alive; and she dwelt in the midst of Israel, unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho. 006 JOS 006 026 And Joshua charged them with an oath at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: with the loss of his firstborn shall he lay the foundation thereof, and with the loss of 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 in all the land. 006 JOS 007 001 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the devoted thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the devoted 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 Beth-aven, on the east side of Beth-el, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and spy out the land. And the men went up and spied out Ai. 006 JOS 007 003 And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; make not all the people to toil thither; for they are but few. 006 JOS 007 004 So there went up thither of 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: and they chased them [from] before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them at the going down: and the hearts of the people melted, and became as water. 006 JOS 007 006 And Joshua rent 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 they put dust upon their heads. 006 JOS 007 007 And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord GOD, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us to perish? would that we had been content and dwelt beyond Jordan! 006 JOS 007 008 Oh Lord, what shall I say, after that Israel hath turned 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 compass us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do for thy great name? 006 JOS 007 010 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore art thou thus fallen upon thy face? 006 JOS 007 011 Israel hath sinned; yea, they have even transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: yea, they have even taken of the devoted thing; and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have even put it among their own stuff. 006 JOS 007 012 Therefore the children of Israel cannot stand before their enemies, they turn their backs before their enemies, because they are become accursed: I will not be with you any more, except ye destroy the devoted thing from among you. 006 JOS 007 013 Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow: for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, There is a devoted thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the devoted thing from among you. 006 JOS 007 014 In the morning therefore ye shall be brought near by your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the LORD taketh shall come near by families; and the family which the LORD shall take shall come near by households; and the household which the LORD shall take shall come near man by man. 006 JOS 007 015 And it shall be, that he that is taken with the devoted 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 up early in the morning, and brought Israel near by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken: 006 JOS 007 017 and he brought near the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zerahites: and he brought near the family of the Zerahites man by man; and Zabdi was taken: 006 JOS 007 018 and he brought near 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 unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me. 006 JOS 007 020 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Of a truth I have sinned against the LORD, the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done: 006 JOS 007 021 when I saw among the spoil a goodly Babylonish mantle, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, beheld, 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 unto 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 unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel; and they laid them down 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 mantle, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them up unto 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 they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones. 006 JOS 007 026 And they raised over him a great heap of stones, unto this day; and the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day. 006 JOS 008 001 And the LORD said unto 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 her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: set thee an ambush for the city behind it. 006 JOS 008 003 So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand men, the mighty men of valour, and sent them forth by night. 006 JOS 008 004 And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in ambush against the city, 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 unto 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 and they will come out after us, till we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first; so we will flee before them: 006 JOS 008 007 and ye shall rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city: for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand. 006 JOS 008 008 And it shall be, when ye have seized upon the city, that ye shall set the city on fire; according to the word of the LORD shall ye do: see, I have commanded you. 006 JOS 008 009 And Joshua sent them forth: and they went to the ambushment, and abode between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people. 006 JOS 008 010 And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and mustered 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 [men of] war that were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between him and Ai. 006 JOS 008 012 And he took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of the city. 006 JOS 008 013 So they set the people, even all the host that was on the north of the city, and their liers in wait that were on the west of the city; and Joshua went that night into the midst of the vale. 006 JOS 008 014 And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the time appointed, before the Arabah; but he wist not that there was an 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 the city were called together to pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city. 006 JOS 008 017 And there was not a man left in Ai or Beth-el, that went not out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel. 006 JOS 008 018 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Stretch out the javelin that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thine hand. And Joshua stretched out the javelin that was 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 entered into the city, and took it; and they 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 up 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 came forth 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 made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they pursued them, and they were all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all Israel returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword. 006 JOS 008 025 And 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 back his hand wherewith he stretched out the javelin, 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 unto themselves, according unto the word of the LORD which he commanded Joshua. 006 JOS 008 028 So Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation, unto this day. 006 JOS 008 029 And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until the eventide: and at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they took his carcase down from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raised thereon a great heap of stones, unto this day. 006 JOS 008 030 Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD, the 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 unhewn stones, upon which no man had lift up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto 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 the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger as the homeborn; half of them in front of mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded, that they should bless the people of Israel first of all. 006 JOS 008 034 And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, 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 assembly of Israel, and 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 which were beyond Jordan, in the hill country, and in the lowland, and on all the shore of the great sea in front of Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard thereof; 006 JOS 009 002 that they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord. 006 JOS 009 003 But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai, 006 JOS 009 004 they also did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wineskins, old and rent and bound up; 006 JOS 009 005 and old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and was become mouldy. 006 JOS 009 006 And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We are come from a far country: now therefore make ye a covenant with us. 006 JOS 009 007 And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a covenant with you? 006 JOS 009 008 And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye? 006 JOS 009 009 And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants are 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, which was at Ashtaroth. 006 JOS 009 011 And our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us saying, Take provision in your hand for the journey and go to meet them, and say unto them, We are your servants: and now make ye a covenant 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 unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, and is become mouldy: 006 JOS 009 013 and these wineskins, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they be rent: 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 provision, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD. 006 JOS 009 015 And Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation sware unto them. 006 JOS 009 016 And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a covenant 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 unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim. 006 JOS 009 018 And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD, the God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes. 006 JOS 009 019 But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the LORD, the God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them. 006 JOS 009 020 This we will do to them, and let them live; lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them. 006 JOS 009 021 And the princes said unto them, Let them live: so they became hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation; as the princes had spoken unto them. 006 JOS 009 022 And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye beguiled 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 never fail to be of you bondmen, both 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 that 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 sore afraid for our lives because of you, and have done this thing. 006 JOS 009 025 And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do. 006 JOS 009 026 And so did he unto 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, unto this day, in the place which he should choose. 006 JOS 010 001 Now it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her 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 the men thereof were mighty. 006 JOS 010 003 Wherefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying, 006 JOS 010 004 Come up unto me, and help me, and let us 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 against Gibeon, and made war against it. 006 JOS 010 006 And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill country 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 unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hands; there shall not a man of them stand before thee. 006 JOS 010 009 Joshua therefore came upon them suddenly; [for] he went up from Gilgal all the night. 006 JOS 010 010 And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and he slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah. 006 JOS 010 011 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, while they were in the going down of Beth-horon, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with the hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword. 006 JOS 010 012 Then spake 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 Aijalon. 006 JOS 010 013 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jashar? And the sun stayed 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 unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel. 006 JOS 010 015 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal. 006 JOS 010 016 And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah. 006 JOS 010 017 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah. 006 JOS 010 018 And Joshua said, Roll great stones unto the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them: 006 JOS 010 019 but stay not ye; pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer 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 made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fenced cities, 006 JOS 010 021 that 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 forth those five kings unto me out of the cave. 006 JOS 010 023 And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon. 006 JOS 010 024 And it came to pass, when they brought forth those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the chiefs of the men of war which 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 unto 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 put them to death, 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 going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, unto this very day. 006 JOS 010 028 And Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof; he utterly destroyed them and all the souls that were therein, he left none remaining: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done unto the king of Jericho. 006 JOS 010 029 And Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah: 006 JOS 010 030 and the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining in it; and he did unto the king thereof as he had done unto the king of Jericho. 006 JOS 010 031 And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it: 006 JOS 010 032 and the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, and he took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, 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 Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, unto Eglon; 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 therein 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, unto Hebron; and they fought against it: 006 JOS 010 037 and they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls that were therein. 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 the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to the king thereof. 006 JOS 010 040 So Joshua smote all the land, the hill country, and the South, and the lowland, and the slopes, and all their kings; he left none remaining: but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD, the God of Israel, commanded. 006 JOS 010 041 And Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon. 006 JOS 010 042 And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel. 006 JOS 010 043 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal. 006 JOS 011 001 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor heard thereof, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph, 006 JOS 011 002 and to the kings that were on the north, in the hill country, and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and in the heights of Dor on the west, 006 JOS 011 003 to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah. 006 JOS 011 004 And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many. 006 JOS 011 005 And all these kings met together; and they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel. 006 JOS 011 006 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for tomorrow at this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hough 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 fell upon them. 006 JOS 011 008 And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephoth-maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining. 006 JOS 011 009 And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire. 006 JOS 011 010 And Jeshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms. 006 JOS 011 011 And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was none left that breathed: and he burnt Hazor with fire. 006 JOS 011 012 And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and he smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them; as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded. 006 JOS 011 013 But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, save 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 unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any that breathed. 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 hill country, and all the South, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland, and the Arabah, and the hill country of Israel, and the lowland of the same; 006 JOS 011 017 from mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and put them to death. 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, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: they took all in battle. 006 JOS 011 020 For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses. 006 JOS 011 021 And Joshua came at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel: Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities. 006 JOS 011 022 There was none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain. 006 JOS 011 023 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD spake unto Moses: and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land had rest from war. 006 JOS 012 001 Now these are the kings of the land, whom the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land beyond Jordan toward the sunrising, from the valley of Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the Arabah eastward: 006 JOS 012 002 Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of Arnon, and [the city that is in] the middle of the valley, and half Gilead, even unto the river Jabbok, the border of the children of Ammon; 006 JOS 012 003 and the Arabah unto the sea of Chinneroth, eastward, and unto the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, eastward, the way to Beth-jeshimoth; and on the south, under the slopes of Pisgah: 006 JOS 012 004 and the border of Og king of Bashan, of the remnant of the Rephaim, who dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei, 006 JOS 012 005 and ruled in mount Hermon, and in Salecah, and in all Bashan, unto the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon. 006 JOS 012 006 Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of Israel smote them: and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it for a possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh. 006 JOS 012 007 And these are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the children of Israel smote beyond Jordan westward, from Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon even unto mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir; and Joshua gave it unto the tribes of Israel for a possession according to their divisions; 006 JOS 012 008 in the hill country, and in the lowland, and in the Arabah, and in the slopes, and in the wilderness, and in the South; the Hittite, the Amorite, and the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite: 006 JOS 012 009 the king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside Beth-el, 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 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 in Carmel, one; 006 JOS 012 023 the king of Dor in the height of Dor, one; the king of Goiim in 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 well stricken in years; and the LORD said unto him, Thou art old and well stricken 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 regions of the Philistines, and all the Geshurites; 006 JOS 013 003 from the Shihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the border of Ekron northward, [which] is counted to the Canaanites: the five lords of the Philistines. the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avvim, 006 JOS 013 004 on the south: all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongeth to the Zidonians, unto Aphek, to the border of the Amorites: 006 JOS 013 005 and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baal-gad under mount Hermon unto the entering in of Hamath: 006 JOS 013 006 all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto Misrephoth-maim, even all the Zidonians; them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only allot thou it unto Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee. 006 JOS 013 007 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh. 006 JOS 013 008 With him the Reubenites and the Gadites 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 on the edge of the valley of Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain of Medeba unto Dibon; 006 JOS 013 010 and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;

for these did Moses smite, and drave them out. 006 JOS 013 013 Nevertheless the children of Israel drave not out the Geshurites, nor the Maacathites: but Geshur and Maacath dwelt in the midst of Israel, unto this day. 006 JOS 013 014 Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inheritance; the offerings of the LORD, the God of Israel, made by fire are his inheritance, as he spake unto him. 006 JOS 013 015 And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their families. 006 JOS 013 016 And their border was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain by Medeba;

This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities and the villages thereof. 006 JOS 013 024 And Moses gave unto the tribe of Gad, unto the children of Gad, according to their families. 006 JOS 013 025 And their border was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer that is before Rabbah; 006 JOS 013 026 and from Heshbon unto Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir; 006 JOS 013 027 and in the valley, Beth-haram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan and the border [thereof], unto the uttermost part of the sea of Chinnereth beyond Jordan eastward. 006 JOS 013 028 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities and the villages thereof. 006 JOS 013 029 And Moses gave [inheritance] unto the half tribe of Manasseh: and it was for the half tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families. 006 JOS 013 030 And their border was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, threescore cities: 006 JOS 013 031 and half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even for the half of the children of Machir according to their families. 006 JOS 013 032 These are the inheritances which Moses distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho, eastward. 006 JOS 013 033 But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave none inheritance: the LORD, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as he spake unto them. 006 JOS 014 001 And these are the inheritances which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed unto them, 006 JOS 014 002 by the lot of 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 the two tribes and the half tribe beyond Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave none inheritance among them. 006 JOS 014 004 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: and they gave no portion unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof 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 drew nigh unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the LORD spake unto Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning thee in Kadesh-barnea. 006 JOS 014 007 Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine 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 sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy foot hath trodden shall be an inheritance to thee and to thy children 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 spake, these forty and five years, from the time that the LORD spake this word unto Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore 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 and to go out and to come in. 006 JOS 014 012 Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakim were there, and cities great and fenced: it may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as the LORD spake. 006 JOS 014 013 And Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance. 006 JOS 014 014 Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, unto this day; because that he wholly followed the LORD, the God of Israel. 006 JOS 014 015 Now the name of Hebron beforetime was Kirjath-arba; [which Arba was] the greatest man among the Anakim. And the land had rest from war. 006 JOS 015 001 And the lot for the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was unto the border of Edom, even to the wilderness of Zin southward, at the uttermost part of the south. 006 JOS 015 002 And their south border was from the uttermost part of the Salt Sea, from the bay that looked southward: 006 JOS 015 003 and it went out southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and went up by the south of Kadesh-barnea, and passed along by Hezron, and went up to Addar, and turned about to Karka: 006 JOS 015 004 and it passed along to Azmon, and went out at the brook of Egypt; and the goings out of the border were at the sea: this shall be your south border. 006 JOS 015 005 And the east border was the Salt Sea, even unto the end of Jordan. And the border of the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the end of Jordan: 006 JOS 015 006 and the border went up to Beth-hoglah, and passed along by the north of Beth-arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben: 006 JOS 015 007 and the border went up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is over against the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the river: and the border passed along to the waters of En-shemesh, and the goings out thereof were at En-rogel: 006 JOS 015 008 and the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the side of the Jebusite southward (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 uttermost part of the vale of Rephaim northward: 006 JOS 015 009 and the border was drawn from the top of the mountain unto the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah (the same is Kiriath-jearim): 006 JOS 015 010 and the border turned about from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim on the north (the same is Chesalon), and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed along by Timnah: 006 JOS 015 011 and the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward: and the border was drawn to Shikkeron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out at Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea. 006 JOS 015 012 And the west border was to the great sea, and the border [thereof]. This is the border of the children of Judah round about according to their families. 006 JOS 015 013 And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a portion among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, even Kirjath-arba, [which Arba was] the father of Anak (the same is Hebron). 006 JOS 015 014 And Caleb drove out thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. 006 JOS 015 015 And he went up thence against the inhabitants of Debir: now the name of Debir beforetime was Kiriath-sepher. 006 JOS 015 016 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife. 006 JOS 015 017 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife. 006 JOS 015 018 And it came to pass, when she came [unto him], that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted down from off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou? 006 JOS 015 019 And she said, Give me a blessing; for that thou hast set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs and the nether 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 in the South 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-hezron (the same is Hazor); 006 JOS 015 026 Amam, and Shema, and Moladah; 006 JOS 015 027 and Hasar-gaddah, and Heshmon, and Beth-pelet; 006 JOS 015 028 and Hazar-shual, and Beer-sheba, and Biziothiah; 006 JOS 015 029 Baalah, and Iim, and Ezem; 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 In the lowland, Eshtaol, and Zorah, and Ashnah; 006 JOS 015 034 and Zanoah, and En-gannim, Tappuah, and Enam; 006 JOS 015 035 Jarmuth, and Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah; 006 JOS 015 036 and Shaaraim, and Adithaim, and Gederah, and Gederothaim; fourteen cities with their villages. 006 JOS 015 037 Zenan, and Hadashah, and Migdal-gad; 006 JOS 015 038 and Dilan, and Mizpeh, and Joktheel; 006 JOS 015 039 Lachish, and Bozkath, and Eglon; 006 JOS 015 040 and Cabbon, and Lahmam, and Chithlish; 006 JOS 015 041 and Gederoth, Beth-dagon, and Naamah, and Makkedah; sixteen cities with their villages. 006 JOS 015 042 Libnah, and Ether, and Ashan; 006 JOS 015 043 and Iphtah, 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 her towns and her villages: 006 JOS 015 046 from Ekron even unto the sea, all that were by the side of Ashdod, with their villages. 006 JOS 015 047 Ashdod, her towns and her villages; Gaza, her towns and her villages; unto the brook of Egypt, and the great sea, and the border [thereof]. 006 JOS 015 048 And in the hill country, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh; 006 JOS 015 049 and Dannah, and Kiriath-sannah (the same 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 Eshan; 006 JOS 015 053 and Janim, and Bath-tappuah, and Aphekah; 006 JOS 015 054 and Humtah, and Kiriath-arba (the same is Hebron), and Zior; nine cities with their villages. 006 JOS 015 055 Maon, Carmel, and Ziph, and Jutah; 006 JOS 015 056 and Jezreel, and Jokdeam, and Zanoah; 006 JOS 015 057 Kain, Gibeah, and Timnah; ten cities with their villages. 006 JOS 015 058 Halhul, Beth-zur, and Gedor; 006 JOS 015 059 and Maarath, and Beth-anoth, and Eltekon; six cities with their villages. 006 JOS 015 060 Kirjath-baal (the same is Kirjath-jearim), and Rabbah; two cities with their villages. 006 JOS 015 061 In the wilderness, Beth-arabah, Middin, and Secacah; 006 JOS 015 062 and Nibshan, and the City of Salt, and En-gedi; six cities with their villages. 006 JOS 015 063 And as for the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out: but the Jebusites dwelt with the children of Judah at Jerusalem, unto this day. 006 JOS 016 001 And the lot for the children of Joseph went out from the Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, even the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill country to Beth-el; 006 JOS 016 002 and it went out from Beth-el to Luz, and passed along unto the border of the Archites to Ataroth; 006 JOS 016 003 and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, unto the border of Beth-horon the nether, even unto Gezer: and the goings out thereof were at the sea. 006 JOS 016 004 And 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 eastward was Ataroth-addar, unto Beth-horon the upper; 006 JOS 016 006 and the border went out westward at Michmethath on the north; and the border turned about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah; 006 JOS 016 007 and it went down from Janoah to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and reached unto Jericho, and went out at Jordan. 006 JOS 016 008 From Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook of Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families; 006 JOS 016 009 together with the cities which were separated for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages. 006 JOS 016 010 And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwelt in the midst of Ephraim, unto this day, and became servants to do taskwork. 006 JOS 017 001 And [this] was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph. As 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 And [the lot] was for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to 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 children of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to 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 parts to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond Jordan; 006 JOS 017 006 because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the land of Gilead belonged unto the rest of the sons of Manasseh. 006 JOS 017 007 And the border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which is before Shechem; and the border went along to the right hand, unto the inhabitants of En-tappuah. 006 JOS 017 008 The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim. 006 JOS 017 009 And the border went down unto the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook: these cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh: and the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook, and the goings out thereof were at the sea: 006 JOS 017 010 southward it was Ephraim’s, and northward it was Manasseh’s, and the sea was his border; and they reached to Asher on the north, and to Issachar on the east. 006 JOS 017 011 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even the three heights. 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 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to taskwork, and did not utterly drive them out. 006 JOS 017 014 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one part for an inheritance, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as hitherto the LORD hath blessed me? 006 JOS 017 015 And Joshua said unto them, If thou be a great people, get thee up to the forest, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim; since the hill country of Ephraim is too narrow for thee. 006 JOS 017 016 And the children of Joseph said, The hill country 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 in Beth-shean and her towns, and they who are in the valley of Jezreel. 006 JOS 017 017 And Joshua spake unto 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 hill country shall be thine; for though it is a forest, thou shalt cut it down, and the goings out thereof shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they be strong. 006 JOS 018 001 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting 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 divided their inheritance. 006 JOS 018 003 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go in to possess the land, which the LORD, the God of your fathers, hath given you? 006 JOS 018 004 Appoint for you three men for each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall arise, and walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; and they shall come unto me. 006 JOS 018 005 And they shall divide it into seven portions: Judah shall abide in his border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their border on the north. 006 JOS 018 006 And ye shall describe the land into seven portions, and bring [the description] hither to me: and I will cast lots for you here before the LORD our God. 006 JOS 018 007 For the Levites have no portion among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance: and Gad and Reuben and the half tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them. 006 JOS 018 008 And the men arose, and went: 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, and I will cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh. 006 JOS 018 009 And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven portions in a book, and they came to Joshua unto the camp at Shiloh. 006 JOS 018 010 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land unto 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 border of their lot went out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph. 006 JOS 018 012 And their border on the north quarter was from Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill country westward; and the goings out thereof were at the wilderness of Beth-aven. 006 JOS 018 013 And the border passed along from thence to Luz, to the side of Luz (the same is Beth-el), southward; and the border went down to Ataroth-addar, by the mountain that lieth on the south of Beth-horon the nether. 006 JOS 018 014 And the border was drawn and turned about on the west quarter southward, from the mountain that lieth before Beth-horon southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjath-baal (the same is Kiriath-jearim), a city of the children of Judah: this was the west quarter. 006 JOS 018 015 And the south quarter was from the uttermost part of Kirjath-jearim, and the border went out westward, and went out to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah: 006 JOS 018 016 and the border went down to the uttermost part of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the vale of Rephaim northward; and it went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En-rogel; 006 JOS 018 017 and it was drawn on the north, and went out at En-shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is over against the ascent of Adummim; and it went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben; 006 JOS 018 018 and it passed along to the side over against the Arabah northward, and went down unto the Arabah: 006 JOS 018 019 and the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward: and the goings out 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 quarter.

the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand. 006 JOS 021 045 There failed not aught of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto 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 unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have hearkened unto my voice in all that I commanded you: 006 JOS 022 003 ye have not left your brethren these many days unto 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 unto your brethren, as he spake unto them: therefore now turn ye, and get you unto your tents, unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you beyond Jordan. 006 JOS 022 005 Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto 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 unto their tents. 006 JOS 022 007 Now to the one half tribe of Manasseh Moses had given [inheritance] in Bashan: but unto the other half gave Joshua among their brethren beyond Jordan westward. Moreover when Joshua sent them away unto their tents, he blessed them, 006 JOS 022 008 and spake unto them, saying, Return with much wealth unto your tents, and with very much 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 unto the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses. 006 JOS 022 010 And when they came unto the region about Jordan, that is 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 to see to. 006 JOS 022 011 And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in the forefront of the land of Canaan, in the region about Jordan, on the side that pertaineth 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 against them to war. 006 JOS 022 013 And the children of Israel sent unto 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, one prince of a fathers’ house for each of the tribes of Israel; and they were every one of them head of their fathers’ houses among the thousands of Israel. 006 JOS 022 015 And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and they spake 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 builded you an altar, to rebel this day against the LORD? 006 JOS 022 017 Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves unto this day, although there came a plague upon the congregation of the LORD, 006 JOS 022 018 that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, seeing ye rebel today against the LORD, that tomorrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel. 006 JOS 022 019 Howbeit, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD, wherein 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 devoted thing, and wrath fell upon 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 spake unto the heads of the thousands of Israel, 006 JOS 022 022 The LORD, the God of gods, the LORD, the God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if it be in rebellion, or if in trespass against the LORD, (save thou us not this day, ) 006 JOS 022 023 that we have built us an altar to turn away from following the LORD; or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meal offering, or if to offer sacrifices of peace offerings thereon, let the LORD himself require it; 006 JOS 022 024 and if we have not [rather] out of carefulness done this, [and] of purpose, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with the LORD, the 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 portion in the LORD: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the LORD. 006 JOS 022 026 Therefore we said, Let as now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice: 006 JOS 022 027 but it shall be a witness between us and you, and between 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 portion in the LORD. 006 JOS 022 028 Therefore said we, It shall be, when they so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we shall say, Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice; but it is a witness between us and you. 006 JOS 022 029 God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn away this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offering, for meal offering, or for sacrifice, 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, even the heads of the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased them well. 006 JOS 022 031 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we know that the LORD is in the midst of us, because ye have not committed this trespass against the LORD: now have ye 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, out of the land of Gilead, unto 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 spake no more of going up against them to war, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and the children of Gad dwelt. 006 JOS 022 034 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar [Ed]: For, [said they], it is a witness between us that the LORD is God. 006 JOS 023 001 And it came to pass after many days, when the LORD had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, and Joshua was old and well stricken in years; 006 JOS 023 002 that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and for their heads, and for their judges and for their officers, and said unto them, I am old and well stricken in years: 006 JOS 023 003 and ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God, he it is that hath fought for you. 006 JOS 023 004 Behold, I have allotted unto you these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun. 006 JOS 023 005 And the LORD your God, he shall thrust them out from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as the LORD your God spake unto you. 006 JOS 023 006 Therefore be ye very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom 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 down yourselves unto them: 006 JOS 023 008 but cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto 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 stood before you unto 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 spake unto you. 006 JOS 023 011 Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God. 006 JOS 023 012 Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you: 006 JOS 023 013 know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive these nations from out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a trap unto you, and a scourge 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 spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, not one thing hath failed thereof. 006 JOS 023 015 And it shall come to pass, that as all the good things are come upon you of which the LORD your God spake unto you, so shall the LORD bring upon you all the evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you. 006 JOS 023 016 When ye transgress the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow down 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 unto 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 unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt of old time beyond the River, 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 beyond 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 unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; and Jacob and his children went down into Egypt. 006 JOS 024 005 And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did in the midst thereof: and afterward I brought you out. 006 JOS 024 006 And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and with horsemen unto the Red Sea. 006 JOS 024 007 And when they cried out unto the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes saw what I did in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness many days. 006 JOS 024 008 And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt beyond Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your hand, and ye possessed their land; and I destroyed them from before you. 006 JOS 024 009 Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel; and he sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you: 006 JOS 024 010 but I would not hearken unto 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 unto Jericho: and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I delivered them into your hand. 006 JOS 024 012 And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; not with thy sword, nor with thy bow. 006 JOS 024 013 And I gave you a land whereon thou hadst not laboured, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell therein; of 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 beyond the River, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD. 006 JOS 024 015 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond 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, God forbid 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 up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and that did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the peoples through the midst of whom we passed: 006 JOS 024 018 and the LORD drave out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore we also will serve the LORD; for he is our God. 006 JOS 024 019 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD; for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgression nor your sins. 006 JOS 024 020 If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you evil, and consume you, after that he hath done you good. 006 JOS 024 021 And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the LORD. 006 JOS 024 022 And Joshua said unto 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 strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD, the God of Israel. 006 JOS 024 024 And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and unto his voice will we hearken. 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 he took a great stone, and set it up there under the oak that was by the sanctuary of the LORD. 006 JOS 024 027 And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness against us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness against you, lest ye deny your God. 006 JOS 024 028 So Joshua sent the people away, every man unto 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 Timnath-serah, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain 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 had known all the work of the LORD, that he had wrought for Israel. 006 JOS 024 032 And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in the parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of money: and they became the inheritance of the children of Joseph. 006 JOS 024 033 And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in the hill of Phinehas his son, which was given him in the hill country of Ephraim. # # BOOK 007 JDG Judges Judges 007 JDG 001 001 And it came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the children of Israel asked of the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us first against the Canaanites, 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 unto 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 smote of them in Bezek ten thousand men. 007 JDG 001 005 And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they smote the Canaanites and the Perizzites. 007 JDG 001 006 But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes. 007 JDG 001 007 And Adoni-bezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered [their meat] under my table: as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there. 007 JDG 001 008 And the children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and smote 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 in the hill country, and in the South, and in the lowland. 007 JDG 001 010 And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: (now the name of Hebron beforetime was Kiriath-arba: ) and they smote Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai. 007 JDG 001 011 And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (Now the name of Debir beforetime was Kiriath-sepher.) 007 JDG 001 012 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife. 007 JDG 001 013 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife. 007 JDG 001 014 And it came to pass, when she came [unto him], that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted down from off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou? 007 JDG 001 015 And she said unto him, Give me a blessing; for that thou hast set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether springs. 007 JDG 001 016 And the children of the Kenite, Moses’ brother in law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt with the people. 007 JDG 001 017 And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they smote 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 the border thereof, and Ashkelon with the border thereof, and Ekron with the border thereof. 007 JDG 001 019 And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out [the inhabitants of] the hill country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron. 007 JDG 001 020 And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses had spoken: and he drave out thence 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 dwelt with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem, unto this day. 007 JDG 001 022 And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Beth-el: and the LORD was with them. 007 JDG 001 023 And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Beth-el. (Now the name of the city beforetime was Luz.) 007 JDG 001 024 And the watchers saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto him, Shew us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with thee. 007 JDG 001 025 And he shewed them the entrance into the city, and they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go 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 thereof Luz: which is the name thereof unto this day. 007 JDG 001 027 And Manasseh did not drive out [the inhabitants of] Beth-shean and her towns, nor [of] Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns: but the Canaanites would dwell in that land. 007 JDG 001 028 And it came to pass, when Israel was waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to taskwork, and did not utterly drive them out. 007 JDG 001 029 And Ephraim drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them. 007 JDG 001 030 Zebulun drave not out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributary. 007 JDG 001 031 Asher drave not out the inhabitants of Acco, 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 Naphtali drave not out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became tributary unto them. 007 JDG 001 034 And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill country: for they would not suffer 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 tributary. 007 JDG 001 036 And the border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward. 007 JDG 002 001 And the angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you: 007 JDG 002 002 and ye shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall break down their altars: but ye have not hearkened unto my voice: why have ye done this? 007 JDG 002 003 Wherefore 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 unto you. 007 JDG 002 004 And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spake these words unto 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 unto the LORD. 007 JDG 002 006 Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel went every man unto 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 work of the LORD, that he had wrought 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 Timnath-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash. 007 JDG 002 010 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the work which he had wrought for Israel. 007 JDG 002 011 And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Baalim: 007 JDG 002 012 and they forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples that were round about them, and bowed themselves down unto them: and they provoked the LORD to anger. 007 JDG 002 013 And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth. 007 JDG 002 014 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies. 007 JDG 002 015 Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had spoken, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they were sore distressed. 007 JDG 002 016 And the LORD raised up judges, which saved them out of the hand of those that spoiled them. 007 JDG 002 017 And yet they hearkened not unto their judges, for they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves down unto them: they turned aside quickly out of the way wherein their fathers walked, obeying the commandments of the LORD; [but] they did not so. 007 JDG 002 018 And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groaning by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them. 007 JDG 002 019 But it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their doings, nor from their stubborn way. 007 JDG 002 020 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel; and he said, Because this nation have transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice; 007 JDG 002 021 I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died: 007 JDG 002 022 that by them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not. 007 JDG 002 023 So the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua. 007 JDG 003 001 Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many 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 beforetime knew nothing thereof; 007 JDG 003 003 [namely], the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Zidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entering in of Hamath. 007 JDG 003 004 And they were for to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto 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; the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite: 007 JDG 003 006 and they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods. 007 JDG 003 007 And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served the Baalim and the Asheroth. 007 JDG 003 008 Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years. 007 JDG 003 009 And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a saviour to the children of Israel, who saved 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 he went out to war, and the LORD delivered Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand: and his hand prevailed against Cushan-rishathaim. 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 again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the sight of the LORD. 007 JDG 003 013 And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek; and went and smote Israel, and they possessed the city of palm trees. 007 JDG 003 014 And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years. 007 JDG 003 015 But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a saviour, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and the children of Israel sent a present by him unto Eglon the king of Moab. 007 JDG 003 016 And Ehud made him a sword 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 offered the present unto Eglon king of Moab: now Eglon was a very fat man. 007 JDG 003 018 And when he had made an end of offering the present, he sent away the people that bare the present. 007 JDG 003 019 But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king. And he said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him. 007 JDG 003 020 And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting by himself alone in his summer parlour. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat. 007 JDG 003 021 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly: 007 JDG 003 022 and the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, for he drew not the sword out of his belly; and it came out behind. 007 JDG 003 023 Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them. 007 JDG 003 024 Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked; and 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 the key, and opened [them]: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth. 007 JDG 003 026 And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirah. 007 JDG 003 027 And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he before them. 007 JDG 003 028 And he said unto them, Follow after 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 against the Moabites, and suffered not a man to pass over. 007 JDG 003 029 And they smote of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, every lusty man, and every man 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 fourscore years. 007 JDG 003 031 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which smote of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also saved Israel. 007 JDG 004 001 And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, when 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, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles. 007 JDG 004 003 And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel. 007 JDG 004 004 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, she judged Israel at that time. 007 JDG 004 005 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beth-el in the hill country of 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 out of Kedesh-naphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD, the God of Israel, commanded, [saying], Go and draw unto 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 unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand. 007 JDG 004 008 And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, I will not go. 007 JDG 004 009 And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine 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 together to Kedesh; and there went up ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him. 007 JDG 004 011 Now Heber the Kenite had severed himself from the Kenites, even from the children of Hobab the brother in law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak in Zaanannim, which is by Kedesh. 007 JDG 004 012 And they told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was 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, unto the river Kishon. 007 JDG 004 014 And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is 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 discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera lighted down from his chariot, and fled away on his feet. 007 JDG 004 016 But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; there was not a man left. 007 JDG 004 017 Howbeit 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 unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And he turned in unto her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug. 007 JDG 004 019 And he said unto 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 drink, and covered him. 007 JDG 004 020 And he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and inquire 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 tent-pin, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the pin into his temples, and it pierced through into the ground; for he was in a deep sleep; so he swooned and died. 007 JDG 004 022 And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And he came unto her; and, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the tent-pin 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 prevailed more and more 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 For that the leaders took the lead in Israel, for that the people offered themselves willingly, bless ye the LORD. 007 JDG 005 003 Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, [even] I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD, the God of Israel. 007 JDG 005 004 LORD, when thou wentest forth out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens also dropped, yea, the clouds dropped water. 007 JDG 005 005 The mountains flowed down at the presence of the LORD, even yon Sinai at the presence of the LORD, the 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 rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased, 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 Tell [of it], ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit on rich carpets, and ye that walk by the way. 007 JDG 005 011 Far 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 of his rule in Israel. Then the people of the LORD went 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 came down a remnant of the nobles [and] the people; the LORD came down for me against the mighty. 007 JDG 005 014 Out of Ephraim [came down] they whose root is in Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy peoples; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the marshal’s staff. 007 JDG 005 015 And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; as was Issachar, so was Barak; into the valley they rushed forth at his feet. By the watercourses of Reuben there were great resolves of heart. 007 JDG 005 016 Why satest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the pipings for the flocks? At the watercourses of Reuben there were great searchings of heart. 007 JDG 005 017 Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and Dan, why did he remain in ships? Asher sat still at the haven of the sea, and abode by his creeks. 007 JDG 005 018 Zebulun was a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death, and Naphtali, upon 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 Meggido: 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 Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, march on with strength. 007 JDG 005 022 Then did the horsehoofs stamp by reason of the pransings, the pransings of their strong ones. 007 JDG 005 023 Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; 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 be, the wife of Heber the Kenite, blessed shall she be above women in the tent. 007 JDG 005 025 He asked water, [and] she gave him milk; she brought him 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 through his head, yea, she pierced and struck through his temples. 007 JDG 005 027 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead. 007 JDG 005 028 Through the window she looked forth, and cried, the mother of Sisera [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? a damsel, two damsels to every man; to Sisera a spoil of divers colours, a spoil of divers colours of embroidery, of divers colours of embroidery on both sides, on the necks of the spoil? 007 JDG 005 031 So let all thine 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 that which was 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 Midian the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and the caves, and the 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; they came up against them; 007 JDG 006 004 and they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance in Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass. 007 JDG 006 005 For they came up with their cattle and their tents, they came in as locusts for multitude; both they and their camels were without number: and they came into the land to destroy it. 007 JDG 006 006 And Israel was brought very low because of Midian; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD. 007 JDG 006 007 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD because of Midian, 007 JDG 006 008 that the LORD sent a prophet unto the children of Israel: and he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage; 007 JDG 006 009 and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drave them out from before you, and gave you their land; 007 JDG 006 010 and I said unto you, I am the LORD your God; ye shall not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not hearkened unto my voice. 007 JDG 006 011 And the angel of the LORD came and sat under the oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites. 007 JDG 006 012 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour. 007 JDG 006 013 And Gideon said unto him, Oh my lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his wondrous works which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath cast us off, and delivered us into the hand of Midian. 007 JDG 006 014 And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and save Israel from the hand of Midian: have not I sent thee? 007 JDG 006 015 And he said unto him, Oh Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house. 007 JDG 006 016 And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man. 007 JDG 006 017 And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then shew me a sign that it is thou that talkest with me. 007 JDG 006 018 Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and lay it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again. 007 JDG 006 019 And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of meal: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it. 007 JDG 006 020 And the angel of God said unto 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 went up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and the angel of the LORD departed out of his sight. 007 JDG 006 022 And Gideon saw that he was the angel of the LORD; and Gideon said, Alas, O Lord GOD! forasmuch as I have seen the angel of the LORD face to face. 007 JDG 006 023 And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die. 007 JDG 006 024 Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovah-shalom: unto 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 unto him, Take thy father’s bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the Asherah that is by it: 007 JDG 006 026 and build an altar unto the LORD thy God upon the top of this strong hold, in the orderly manner, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt offering with the wood of the Asherah which thou shalt cut down. 007 JDG 006 027 Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had spoken unto him: and it came to pass, because he feared his father’s household and the men of the city, so 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 broken down, and the Asherah was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock 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 inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing. 007 JDG 006 030 Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: because he hath broken down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the Asherah that was by it. 007 JDG 006 031 And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? or will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst [it is yet] morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath broken down his altar. 007 JDG 006 032 Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath broken down his altar. 007 JDG 006 033 Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east assembled themselves together; and they passed over, and pitched 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 gathered together after him. 007 JDG 006 035 And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; and they also were gathered together after him: and he sent messengers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali; and they came up to meet them. 007 JDG 006 036 And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast spoken, 007 JDG 006 037 behold, I will put a fleece of wool on the threshing-floor; if there be dew on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the ground, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast spoken. 007 JDG 006 038 And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and pressed the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowlful of water. 007 JDG 006 039 And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be kindled against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, 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 up early, and pitched beside the spring of Harod: and the camp of Midian was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley. 007 JDG 007 002 And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. 007 JDG 007 003 Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart 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 unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go. 007 JDG 007 005 So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto 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, was 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 unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the people go every man unto his place. 007 JDG 007 008 So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the men of Israel every man unto his tent, but retained the three hundred men: and the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley. 007 JDG 007 009 And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Arise, get thee down into the camp; for I have delivered it into thine hand. 007 JDG 007 010 But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Purah thy servant down to the camp: 007 JDG 007 011 and thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thine hands be strengthened to go down into the camp. Then went he down with Purah his servant unto the outermost part of the armed men that were in the camp. 007 JDG 007 012 And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is upon the sea shore for multitude. 007 JDG 007 013 And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came unto the tent, and smote it that it fell, and turned it upside down, that the tent lay along. 007 JDG 007 014 And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: into his hand God hath delivered Midian, and all the host. 007 JDG 007 015 And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped; and he returned into the camp 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 into the hands of all of them trumpets, and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers. 007 JDG 007 017 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do. 007 JDG 007 018 When I blow the trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, For the LORD and for Gideon. 007 JDG 007 019 So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands. 007 JDG 007 020 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD and of Gideon. 007 JDG 007 021 And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran; and they shouted, and put [them] to flight. 007 JDG 007 022 And they blew the three hundred trumpets, and the LORD set every man’s sword against his fellow, and against all the host: and the host fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath. 007 JDG 007 023 And the men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after Midian. 007 JDG 007 024 And Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, Come down against Midian, and take before them the waters, as far as Beth-barah, even Jordan. So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and took the waters as far as Beth-barah, even Jordan. 007 JDG 007 025 And they took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian: and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond Jordan. 007 JDG 008 001 And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us thus, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with Midian? And they did chide with him sharply. 007 JDG 008 002 And he said unto them, What have I now done 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 hand the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that. 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. 007 JDG 008 005 And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they be faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian. 007 JDG 008 006 And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thine army? 007 JDG 008 007 And Gideon said: Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers. 007 JDG 008 008 And he went up thence to Penuel, and spake unto them in like manner: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered. 007 JDG 008 009 And he spake also unto 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 host 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 Zebah and Zalmunna fled; and he pursued after them; and he took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host. 007 JDG 008 013 And Gideon the son of Joash returned from the battle from the ascent of Heres. 007 JDG 008 014 And he caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he described for him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, seventy and seven men. 007 JDG 008 015 And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, concerning whom ye did taunt me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto 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 brake down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city. 007 JDG 008 018 Then said he unto 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, 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 unto Jether his firstborn, Up, 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 the crescents that were on their camels’ necks. 007 JDG 008 022 Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son also: for thou hast saved us out of the hand of Midian. 007 JDG 008 023 And Gideon said unto 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 unto them, I would desire a request of you, that ye 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 did cast therein 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; beside the crescents, and the pendants, and the purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside the chains that were about their camels’ necks. 007 JDG 008 027 And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel went a whoring after it there: and it became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house. 007 JDG 008 028 So Midian was subdued before the children of Israel, and they lifted up their heads no more. And the land had rest 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 threescore and ten sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives. 007 JDG 008 031 And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, and he called his name 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 a whoring after the Baalim, and made Baal-berith their god. 007 JDG 008 034 And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them out of the hand of all their enemies on every side: 007 JDG 008 035 neither shewed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, [who is] Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shewed unto Israel. 007 JDG 009 001 And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem unto his mother’s brethren, and spake 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, Whether is better for you that all the sons of Jerubbaal, which are threescore and ten persons, rule over you, or that one rule over you? remember also that I am your bone and your flesh. 007 JDG 009 003 And his mother’s brethren spake 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 threescore and ten [pieces] of silver out of the house of Baal-berith, wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light fellows, which followed him. 007 JDG 009 005 And he went unto his father’s house at Ophrah, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal, being threescore and ten persons, upon one stone: but Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left; for he hid himself. 007 JDG 009 006 And all the men of Shechem assembled themselves together, and all the house of Millo, and went and made Abimelech king, by the oak 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 unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you. 007 JDG 009 008 The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us. 007 JDG 009 009 But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to wave to and fro 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 unto them, Should I leave my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to wave to and fro over the trees? 007 JDG 009 012 And the trees said unto the vine, Come thou, and reign over us. 007 JDG 009 013 And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to wave to and fro over the trees? 007 JDG 009 014 Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come thou, and reign over us. 007 JDG 009 015 And the bramble said unto 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 dealt truly and uprightly, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands; 007 JDG 009 017 (for my father fought for you, and adventured his life, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian: 007 JDG 009 018 and ye are risen up against my father’s house this day, and have slain his sons, threescore and ten 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 uprightly 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 And Abimelech was prince over Israel three years. 007 JDG 009 023 And 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 violence done to the threescore and ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and that their blood might be laid upon Abimelech their brother, which slew them, and upon the men of Shechem, which strengthened his hands to slay his brethren. 007 JDG 009 025 And the men of Shechem set liers in wait for him on the tops 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 trust in him. 007 JDG 009 027 And they went out into the field, and gathered their vineyards, and trode [the grapes], and held festival, and went into the house of their god, and did eat and drink, 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 ye the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: but why should we serve him? 007 JDG 009 029 And would to God this people were under my hand! then would I remove Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase thine 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 unto Abimelech craftily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brethren are come to Shechem; and, behold, they constrain the city [to take part] against thee. 007 JDG 009 032 Now therefore, up by night, thou and the people that is 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 is up, thou shalt rise early, and set upon the city: and, behold, when he and the people that is with him come out against thee, then mayest thou do to them as thou shalt find occasion. 007 JDG 009 034 And Abimelech rose up, 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 entering of the gate of the city: and Abimelech rose up, and the people that were with him, from the ambushment. 007 JDG 009 036 And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold, there come people down from the tops of the mountains. And Zebul said unto him, Thou seest the shadow of the mountains as if they were men. 007 JDG 009 037 And Gaal spake again and said, See, there come people down by the middle of the land, and one company cometh by the way of the oak of Meonenim. 007 JDG 009 038 Then said Zebul unto him, Where is now thy mouth, that thou saidst, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? is not this the people that thou hast despised? go out now, I pray, 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 there fell many wounded, even unto the entering of the gate. 007 JDG 009 041 And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: and Zebul drave out Gaal and his brethren, that they should not dwell in Shechem. 007 JDG 009 042 And it came to pass on the morrow, 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 he looked, and, behold, the people came forth out of the city; and he rose up against them, and smote them. 007 JDG 009 044 And Abimelech, and the companies that were with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and the two companies rushed upon all that were in the field, and smote them. 007 JDG 009 045 And Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and slew the people that was therein: and he beat down the city, and sowed it with salt. 007 JDG 009 046 And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard thereof, they entered into the hold of the house of El-berith. 007 JDG 009 047 And it was told Abimelech that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together. 007 JDG 009 048 And Abimelech gat him 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 up, and laid it on his shoulder: and he said unto 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 hold, and set the 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 thither fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut themselves in, and gat them up to the roof of the tower. 007 JDG 009 052 And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it, and went hard unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire. 007 JDG 009 053 And a certain woman cast an upper millstone upon Abimelech’s head, and brake his skull. 007 JDG 009 054 Then he called hastily unto the young man his armourbearer, and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and kill 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 unto his place. 007 JDG 009 056 Thus God requited the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren: 007 JDG 009 057 and all the wickedness of the men of Shechem did God requite 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 save Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in the hill country of 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, the Gileadite; and he judged Israel twenty and two years. 007 JDG 010 004 And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havvoth-jair unto this day, which are in the land of Gilead. 007 JDG 010 005 And Jair died, and was buried in Kamon. 007 JDG 010 006 And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Baalim, and the 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 they forsook the LORD, and served him not. 007 JDG 010 007 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the children of Ammon. 007 JDG 010 008 And they vexed and oppressed the children of Israel that year: eighteen years [oppressed they] all the children of Israel that were beyond Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead. 007 JDG 010 009 And 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 sore distressed. 007 JDG 010 010 And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee, even because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baalim. 007 JDG 010 011 And the LORD said unto the children of Israel, [Did] not [I save 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, did oppress you; and ye cried unto me, and I saved you out of their hand. 007 JDG 010 013 Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will save you no more. 007 JDG 010 014 Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress. 007 JDG 010 015 And the children of Israel said unto the LORD, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; only deliver us, we pray thee, this day. 007 JDG 010 016 And they put away the strange 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 Mizpah. 007 JDG 010 018 And the people, the 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 bare him sons; and when his wife’s sons grew up, they drave out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father’s house; for thou art the son of another woman. 007 JDG 011 003 Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain fellows to Jephthah, and they went out with him. 007 JDG 011 004 And it came to pass after a while, 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 fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob: 007 JDG 011 006 and they said unto Jephthah, Come and be our chief, that we may fight with the children of Ammon. 007 JDG 011 007 And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and drive me out of my father’s house? and why are ye come unto me now when ye are in distress? 007 JDG 011 008 And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore are we turned again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight with the children of Ammon, and thou shalt be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead. 007 JDG 011 009 And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight with 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 unto Jephthah, The LORD shall be witness between us; surely according to thy word so will we do. 007 JDG 011 011 Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them: and Jephthah spake all his words before the LORD in Mizpah. 007 JDG 011 012 And Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come unto me to fight against my land? 007 JDG 011 013 And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when he came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and unto Jordan: now therefore restore those [lands] again peaceably. 007 JDG 011 014 And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon: 007 JDG 011 015 and he said unto 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 they came up from Egypt, and Israel walked through the wilderness unto the Red Sea, and came to Kadesh; 007 JDG 011 017 then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land: but the king of Edom hearkened not. And in like manner he sent unto the king of Moab: but he would not: and Israel abode in Kadesh. 007 JDG 011 018 Then he walked through the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and they pitched on the other side of Arnon; but they came not within the border of Moab, for Arnon was the border of Moab. 007 JDG 011 019 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land unto my place. 007 JDG 011 020 But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Jahaz, and fought against Israel. 007 JDG 011 021 And the LORD, the 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 border of the Amorites, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto Jordan. 007 JDG 011 023 So now the LORD, the God of Israel, hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess them? 007 JDG 011 024 Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God hath dispossessed 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 side of Arnon, three hundred years; wherefore did ye not recover them within that time? 007 JDG 011 027 I therefore 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 Howbeit the king of the children Ammon hearkened not unto 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 unto the children of Ammon. 007 JDG 011 030 And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver the children of Ammon into mine hand, 007 JDG 011 031 then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, it shall be the LORD’S, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering. 007 JDG 011 032 So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hand. 007 JDG 011 033 And he smote them from Aroer until thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto Abel-cheramim, with a very great slaughter. So the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel. 007 JDG 011 034 And Jephthah came to Mizpah unto 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 rent 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 unto the LORD, and I cannot go back. 007 JDG 011 036 And she said unto him, My father, thou hast opened thy mouth unto the LORD; do unto me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, even of the children of Ammon. 007 JDG 011 037 And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may depart and go 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 departed, she and 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 unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she had not known man. And it was a custom in Israel, 007 JDG 011 040 that the daughters of Israel went yearly to celebrate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year. 007 JDG 012 001 And the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and passed northward; and they said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thine house upon thee with fire. 007 JDG 012 002 And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye saved me not out of their hand. 007 JDG 012 003 And when I saw that ye saved me not, I put my life in my hand, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come up unto 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 are fugitives of Ephraim, ye Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim, [and] in the midst of Manasseh. 007 JDG 012 005 And the Gileadites took the fords of Jordan against the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when [any of] the fugitives of Ephraim said, Let me go over, the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay; 007 JDG 012 006 then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth; and he said Sibboleth; for he could not frame to pronounce it right; then they laid hold on him, and slew him at the fords of Jordan: and there fell at that time of Ephraim 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 Beth-lehem judged Israel. 007 JDG 012 009 And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters he sent abroad, and thirty daughters he brought in from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years. 007 JDG 012 010 And Ibzan died, and was buried at Beth-lehem. 007 JDG 012 011 And after him Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years. 007 JDG 012 012 And Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun. 007 JDG 012 013 And after him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel. 007 JDG 012 014 And he had forty sons and thirty sons’ sons, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts: 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 hill country of the Amalekites. 007 JDG 013 001 And the children of Israel again did that which was evil 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 bare not. 007 JDG 013 003 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto 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 no 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 upon his head: for the child shall be a Nazirite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines. 007 JDG 013 006 Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of the angel of God, very terrible; and I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name: 007 JDG 013 007 but he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazirite unto God from the womb to the day of his death. 007 JDG 013 008 Then Manoah entreated the LORD, and said, Oh Lord, I pray thee, let the man of God whom thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do onto 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 unto 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 told her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the other day. 007 JDG 013 011 And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am. 007 JDG 013 012 And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass: what shall be the manner of the child, and [what shall be] his work? 007 JDG 013 013 And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto 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 unto the angel of the LORD, I pray thee, let us detain thee, that we may make ready a kid for thee. 007 JDG 013 016 And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt make ready a burnt offering, thou must offer it onto the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he was the angel of the LORD. 007 JDG 013 017 And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What is thy name, that when thy words come to pass we may do thee honour? 007 JDG 013 018 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore askest thou after my name, seeing it is wonderful? 007 JDG 013 019 So Manoah took the kid with the meal offering, and offered it upon the rock unto 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 went up 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; and they fell on their faces to the ground. 007 JDG 013 021 But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah or to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of the LORD. 007 JDG 013 022 And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God. 007 JDG 013 023 But his wife said unto him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meal offering at our hand, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor would at this time have told us such things as these. 007 JDG 013 024 And the woman bare 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 in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol. 007 JDG 014 001 And Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah 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 Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife. 007 JDG 014 003 Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never 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 unto 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; for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel. 007 JDG 014 005 Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnah, and came to the vineyards of Timnah: and, behold, a young lion roared against him. 007 JDG 014 006 And the spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent 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 while he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey. 007 JDG 014 009 And he took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went, and he came to his father and mother, and gave unto them, and they did eat: but he told them not that he had taken the honey out of the body of the lion. 007 JDG 014 010 And his father went down unto 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 unto them, Let me now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of raiment: 007 JDG 014 013 but if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of raiment. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it. 007 JDG 014 014 And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days declare the riddle. 007 JDG 014 015 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson’s wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father’s house with fire: have ye called us to impoverish us? 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 put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it 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 sore: and she told the riddle to the children of her people. 007 JDG 014 018 And the men of the city said unto 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 unto 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 mightily upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and smote thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave the changes [of raiment] unto them that declared 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 suffer 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 unto them, This time shall I be blameless in regard of the Philistines, when I do them a mischief. 007 JDG 015 004 And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between every two tails. 007 JDG 015 005 And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing corn, and also the oliveyards. 007 JDG 015 006 Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they said, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because he hath 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 unto them, If ye do after this manner, surely I will 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 cleft of the rock of Etam. 007 JDG 015 009 Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi. 007 JDG 015 010 And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they said, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us. 007 JDG 015 011 Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what then is this that thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them. 007 JDG 015 012 And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves. 007 JDG 015 013 And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock. 007 JDG 015 014 When he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him: and the spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the ropes that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands dropped from off his hands. 007 JDG 015 015 And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and smote a thousand men therewith. 007 JDG 015 016 And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jawbone of an ass have I smitten a thousand men. 007 JDG 015 017 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath-lehi. 007 JDG 015 018 And he was sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance by the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised. 007 JDG 015 019 But God clave the hollow place that is in Lehi, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore the name thereof was called En-hakkore, which is in Lehi, unto this day. 007 JDG 015 020 And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years. 007 JDG 016 001 And Samson went to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her. 007 JDG 016 002 [And it was told] the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they compassed him in, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, [Let be] till morning light, then we will kill him. 007 JDG 016 003 And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and laid hold of the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and plucked them up, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the mountain 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 up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein 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, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee. 007 JDG 016 007 And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withes that were never dried, then shall I become weak, and be as another man. 007 JDG 016 008 Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withes which had not been dried, and she bound him with them. 007 JDG 016 009 Now she had liers in wait abiding in the inner chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withes, as a string of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known. 007 JDG 016 010 And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound. 007 JDG 016 011 And he said unto her, If they only bind me with new ropes wherewith no work hath been done, then shall I become weak, and be as another man. 007 JDG 016 012 So Delilah took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And the liers in wait were abiding in the inner chamber. And he brake them from off his arms like a thread. 007 JDG 016 013 And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto 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 unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and plucked away the pin of the beam, and the web. 007 JDG 016 015 And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth. 007 JDG 016 016 And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, that his soul was vexed unto death. 007 JDG 016 017 And he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazirite unto God from my mother’s womb: if I be shaven, 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 told me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought the money in their hand. 007 JDG 016 019 And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and shaved 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 be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times, and shake myself. But he wist not that the LORD was departed from him. 007 JDG 016 021 And the Philistines laid hold on him, and put out his eyes; and they brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house. 007 JDG 016 022 Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven. 007 JDG 016 023 And the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto 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 hand our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, which hath slain 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 sport before them: and they set him between the pillars. 007 JDG 016 026 and Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house resteth, 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 unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, remember member 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 rested, and leaned upon them, the one with his right hand, and 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 therein. 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 the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah. 007 JDG 017 002 And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred [pieces] of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou didst utter a curse, and didst also speak it in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be my son of the LORD. 007 JDG 017 003 And he restored the eleven hundred [pieces] of silver to his mother, and his mother said, I verily dedicate the silver unto the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it unto thee. 007 JDG 017 004 And when he restored the money unto his mother, his mother took two hundred [pieces] of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and it was in the house of Micah. 007 JDG 017 005 And the man Micah had an house of gods, and he 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: every man did that which was right in his own eyes. 007 JDG 017 007 And there was a young man out of Beth-lehem-judah, 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, out of Beth-lehem-judah, to sojourn where he could find [a place]: and he came to the hill country of Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed. 007 JDG 017 009 And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him, I am a Levite of Beth-lehem-judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find [a place]. 007 JDG 017 010 And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten [pieces] of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So the Levite went in. 007 JDG 017 011 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto 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 know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to 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 them an inheritance to dwell in; for unto that day [their] inheritance had not fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel. 007 JDG 018 002 And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their whole number, men of valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search the land: and they came to the hill country of Ephraim, unto the house of Micah, and 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 aside thither, and said unto him, Who brought thee hither? and what doest thou in this place? and what hast thou here? 007 JDG 018 004 And he said unto them, Thus and thus hath Micah dealt with me, and he hath hired me, and I am become his priest. 007 JDG 018 005 And they said unto 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 unto them, Go in peace: before the LORD is your way wherein ye go. 007 JDG 018 007 Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people that were therein, how they dwelt in security, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; for there was none in the land, possessing authority, that might put [them] to shame in any thing, and they were far from the Zidonians, and had no dealings with any man. 007 JDG 018 008 And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said unto them, What [say] ye? 007 JDG 018 009 And they said, Arise, and let us go up against them: for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good: and are ye still? be not slofthful to go and to enter in to possess the land. 007 JDG 018 010 When ye go, ye shall come unto a people secure, and the land is large: for God hath given it into your hand; a place where there is no want of any thing that is in the earth. 007 JDG 018 011 And there set forth from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men girt with weapons of war. 007 JDG 018 012 And they went up, and encamped in Kiriath-jearim, in Judah: wherefore they called that place Mahaneh-dan unto this day: behold, it is behind Kirjath-jearim. 007 JDG 018 013 And they passed thence unto the hill country of Ephraim, and came unto the house of Micah. 007 JDG 018 014 Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish, and said unto 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 thither, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even unto the house of Micah, and asked him of his welfare. 007 JDG 018 016 And the six hundred men girt with their weapons of war, who were of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate. 007 JDG 018 017 And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and came in thither, and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood by the entering of the gate with the six hundred men girt with weapons of war. 007 JDG 018 018 And when these went into Micah’s house and fetched the graven image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image, the priest said unto them, What do ye? 007 JDG 018 019 And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for thee to be priest unto the house of one man, or to be priest unto 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 goods before them. 007 JDG 018 022 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 unto the children of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said unto 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 are gone away, and what have I more? and how then say ye unto me, What aileth thee? 007 JDG 018 025 And the children of Dan said unto him, Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows fall upon you, and thou lose thy life, with the lives of thy household. 007 JDG 018 026 And the children of Dan went their way: and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back unto his house. 007 JDG 018 027 And they took that which Micah had made, and the priest which he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people quiet and secure, and smote them with the edge of the sword; and they burnt the city with fire. 007 JDG 018 028 And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Zidon, and they had no dealings with any man; and it was in the valley that lieth by Beth-rehob. And they built the city, and dwelt therein. 007 JDG 018 029 And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name of the city was Laish at the first. 007 JDG 018 030 And the children of Dan set up for themselves the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the captivity of the land. 007 JDG 018 031 So they set them up 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 these days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Beth-lehem-judah. 007 JDG 019 002 And his concubine played the harlot against him, and went away from him unto her father’s house to Beth-lehem-judah, and was there the space of four months. 007 JDG 019 003 And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak kindly unto her, to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of asses: 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, retained him; and he abode with him three days: so they did eat and drink, and lodged there. 007 JDG 019 005 And it came to pass on the fourth day, that they arose early in the morning, and he rose up to depart: and the damsel’s father said unto his son in law, Comfort thine heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward ye shall go your way. 007 JDG 019 006 So they sat down, and did eat and drink, both of them together: and the damsel’s father said unto the man, Be content, I pray thee, and tarry all night, and let thine heart be merry. 007 JDG 019 007 And the man rose up to depart; but his father in law urged him, and 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, Comfort thine heart, I pray thee, and tarry ye until the day declineth; and they did eat, both of them. 007 JDG 019 009 And when the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father in law, the damsel’s father, said unto him, Behold, now the day draweth toward evening, I pray you tarry all night: behold, the day groweth to an end, lodge here, that thine heart may be merry; and tomorrow 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 rose up and departed, and came over against Jebus (the same is Jerusalem): and there were with him a couple of asses saddled; his concubine also was with him. 007 JDG 019 011 When they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said unto his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it. 007 JDG 019 012 And his master said unto him, We will not turn aside into the city of a stranger, that is not of the children of Israel; but we will pass over to Gibeah. 007 JDG 019 013 And he said unto his servant, Come and let us draw near to one of these places; and we will lodge in Gibeah, or in Ramah. 007 JDG 019 014 So they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them near to Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin. 007 JDG 019 015 And they turned aside thither, to go in to lodge in Gibeah: and he went in, and sat him down in the 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 even; now the man was of the hill country of Ephraim, and he sojourned in Gibeah: but the men of the place were Benjamites. 007 JDG 019 017 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the wayfaring man in the street of the city; and the old man said, Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou? 007 JDG 019 018 And he said unto him, We are passing from Beth-lehem-judah unto the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim; from thence am I, and I went to Beth-lehem-judah: and I am [now] going to the house of the LORD; and there is no man that taketh me into his house. 007 JDG 019 019 Yet there is both straw and provender for our asses; 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 unto thee; howsoever 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 the asses fodder: and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink. 007 JDG 019 022 As they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, beating at the door; and they spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him. 007 JDG 019 023 And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine 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 unto you: but unto this man do not any such folly. 007 JDG 019 025 But the men would not hearken to him: so the man laid hold on his concubine, and brought her forth unto 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 up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way: and, behold, the woman his concubine was fallen down at the door of the house, with her hands upon the threshold. 007 JDG 019 028 And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going; but none answered: then he took her up upon the ass; and the man rose up, and gat him unto 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, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the borders of Israel. 007 JDG 019 030 And it was so, that all that saw it said, There was no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt unto this day: consider of it, take counsel, and speak. 007 JDG 020 001 Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD at Mizpah. 007 JDG 020 002 And the chiefs 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 Mizpah.) And the children of Israel said, Tell us, how was this wickedness brought to pass? 007 JDG 020 004 And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was murdered, 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 beset the house round about upon me by night; me they thought to have slain, and my concubine they forced, and 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 children of Israel, all of you, 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 unto his house. 007 JDG 020 009 But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah; [we will go up] against it by lot; 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 victual 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 come to pass among you? 007 JDG 020 013 Now therefore deliver up the men, the sons of Belial, which are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel. 007 JDG 020 014 And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel. 007 JDG 020 015 And the children of Benjamin were numbered on that day out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, which 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, beside 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 Beth-el, and asked counsel of God; and they said, Who shall go up for us first to 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 up 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 set the battle in array against them at Gibeah. 007 JDG 020 021 And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites on that day twenty and two thousand men. 007 JDG 020 022 And the people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and set the battle again in array in the place where they set themselves in array the first day. 007 JDG 020 023 (And the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until even; and they asked of the LORD, saying, Shall I again draw nigh 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 unto Beth-el, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD. 007 JDG 020 027 And the children of Israel asked 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 tomorrow I will deliver him into thine hand. 007 JDG 020 029 And Israel set liers in wait against Gibeah round about. 007 JDG 020 030 And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and set 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 and kill of the people, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to Beth-el, 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 rise, and draw them away from the city unto the highways. 007 JDG 020 033 And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and set themselves in array at Baal-tamar: and the liers in wait of Israel brake forth out of their place, even out of Maareh-geba. 007 JDG 020 034 And there came over against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore: but they knew not that evil was close upon them. 007 JDG 020 035 And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel: and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin 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 Benjamin, because they trusted unto the liers in wait which they had set against Gibeah. 007 JDG 020 037 And the liers in wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers in wait drew themselves along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword. 007 JDG 020 038 Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers in wait was, that they should make a great cloud of smoke rise up out of the city. 007 JDG 020 039 And the men of Israel turned in the battle, and 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 cloud began to arise up out of the city in a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the whole of the city went up [in smoke] to heaven. 007 JDG 020 041 And the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was come upon them. 007 JDG 020 042 Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle followed hard after them; and they which came out of the cities destroyed them in the midst thereof. 007 JDG 020 043 They enclosed the Benjamites round about, [and] chased them, [and] trode them down at [their] resting place, as far as over against 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 unto the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and followed hard after them unto Gidom, and smote of them two thousand men. 007 JDG 020 046 So that all which 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 toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon, and abode in the rock of 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, both the entire city, and the cattle and all that they found: moreover all the cities which they found they set on fire. 007 JDG 021 001 Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife. 007 JDG 021 002 And the people came to Beth-el, and sat there till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore. 007 JDG 021 003 And they said, O LORD, the God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be today one tribe lacking in Israel? 007 JDG 021 004 And it came to pass on the morrow, 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 in the assembly unto the LORD? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up unto the LORD to Mizpah, saying, He shall surely be put to death. 007 JDG 021 006 And the children of Israel repented them 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 to wives? 007 JDG 021 008 And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up unto the LORD to Mizpah? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabesh-gilead to the assembly. 007 JDG 021 009 For when the people were numbered, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead there. 007 JDG 021 010 And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the little ones. 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 Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins, that had not known man by lying with him: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan. 007 JDG 021 013 And the whole congregation sent and spake to the children of Benjamin that were in the rock of Rimmon, and proclaimed peace unto them. 007 JDG 021 014 And Benjamin returned at that time; and they gave them the women which they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh-gilead: and yet so they sufficed them not. 007 JDG 021 015 And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that 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 are escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not blotted out from Israel. 007 JDG 021 018 Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel had sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin. 007 JDG 021 019 And they said, Behold, there is a feast of the LORD from year to year in Shiloh, which is on the north of Beth-el, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Beth-el to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah. 007 JDG 021 020 And 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 the 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 complain unto us, that we will say unto them, Grant them graciously unto us: because we took not for each man [of them] his wife in battle: neither did ye give them unto them; else would ye now 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 carried off: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and built the cities, and dwelt in them. 007 JDG 021 024 And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence 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 And it came to pass in the days when the judges judged, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Beth-lehem-judah went to sojourn 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 Beth-lehem-judah. 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 them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years. 008 RUT 001 005 And Mahlon and Chilion died both of them; and the woman was left of her two children and of 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 bread. 008 RUT 001 007 And she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah. 008 RUT 001 008 And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each of you 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 unto her, Nay, but we will return with thee unto thy people. 008 RUT 001 011 And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? have I yet 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 even have an husband to-night, and should also bear sons; 008 RUT 001 013 would ye therefore tarry till they were grown? would ye therefore stay from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes, for the hand of the LORD is gone forth against me. 008 RUT 001 014 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her. 008 RUT 001 015 And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her god: return thou after thy sister in law. 008 RUT 001 016 And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, and to return from following after thee: for whither 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 aught but death part thee and me. 008 RUT 001 018 And when she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, she left speaking unto her. 008 RUT 001 019 So they two went until they came to Beth-lehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Beth-lehem, that all the city was moved about them, and [the women] said, Is this Naomi? 008 RUT 001 020 And she said unto 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 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, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Beth-lehem 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 unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter. 008 RUT 002 003 And she went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on the portion of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech. 008 RUT 002 004 And, behold, Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and said unto the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee. 008 RUT 002 005 Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this? r 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 out of the country of Moab: 008 RUT 002 007 And she said, Let me glean, I pray you, and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, save that she tarried a little in the house. 008 RUT 002 008 Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither pass from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens. 008 RUT 002 009 Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto 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 unto him, Why have I found grace in thy sight, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger? 008 RUT 002 011 And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore. 008 RUT 002 012 The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to take refuge. 008 RUT 002 013 Then she said, Let me find grace in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken kindly unto thine handmaid, though I be not as one of thine handmaidens. 008 RUT 002 014 And at meal-time Boaz said unto her, Come hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and they reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left thereof. 008 RUT 002 015 And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not. 008 RUT 002 016 And also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and rebuke her not. 008 RUT 002 017 So she gleaned in the field until even; and she beat out that 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 forth and gave to her that she had left after she was sufficed. 008 RUT 002 019 And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned today? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man’s name with whom I wrought today is Boaz. 008 RUT 002 020 And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the LORD, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is nigh of kin unto us, one of our near kinsmen. 008 RUT 002 021 And Ruth the Moabitess said, Yea, he said unto me, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest. 008 RUT 002 022 And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, and that they meet thee not in any other field. 008 RUT 002 023 So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she dwelt with her mother in law. 008 RUT 003 001 And Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee? 008 RUT 003 002 And now is there not Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to-night in the threshing-floor. 008 RUT 003 003 Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put on thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the threshing-floor: but make not thyself known to the man, until he shall have done 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 unto her, All that thou sayest I will do. 008 RUT 003 006 And she went down unto the threshing-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 corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her 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 thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman. 008 RUT 003 010 And he said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my daughter: thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich. 008 RUT 003 011 And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou sayest: 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 a near kinsman: howbeit 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 unto 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 up before one could discern another. For he said, Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing-floor. 008 RUT 003 015 And he said, Bring the mantle that is upon thee, and hold it; and she held it: and he measured six [measures] of barley, and laid it on her: and he 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 gave he me; for he said, Go not empty unto thy mother in law. 008 RUT 003 018 Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not rest, until he have finished the thing this day. 008 RUT 004 001 Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a 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 unto the near kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech’s: 008 RUT 004 004 And I thought to disclose it unto thee, saying, Buy it before them that sit here, 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 beside 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 near kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: take thou my right of redemption on thee; for I cannot redeem it. 008 RUT 004 007 Now this was [the custom] in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, for to confirm all things; a man drew off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was the [manner of] attestation in Israel. 008 RUT 004 008 So the near kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thyself. And he drew off his shoe. 008 RUT 004 009 And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto 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 is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Beth-lehem: 008 RUT 004 012 and let thy house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman. 008 RUT 004 013 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in unto her, and the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son. 008 RUT 004 014 And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a near kinsman, and let his name be famous in Israel. 008 RUT 004 015 And he shall be unto thee a restorer of life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath borne him. 008 RUT 004 016 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it. 008 RUT 004 017 And the women her neighbours gave it 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 Perez: Perez 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 Ramathaim-zophim, of the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite: 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 out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests unto the LORD, were there. 009 1SA 001 004 And when the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters portions: 009 1SA 001 005 but unto Hannah he gave a double portion: for he loved Hannah, but the LORD had shut up her womb. 009 1SA 001 006 And her rival provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut 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 And Elkanah her husband said unto 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 up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon his seat by the door post of the temple of the LORD. 009 1SA 001 010 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore. 009 1SA 001 011 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto 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 marked her mouth. 009 1SA 001 013 Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken. 009 1SA 001 014 And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? 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 I poured out my soul before the LORD. 009 1SA 001 016 Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation have I spoken hitherto. 009 1SA 001 017 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thy petition that thou hast asked of him. 009 1SA 001 018 And she said, Let thy servant find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more [sad]. 009 1SA 001 019 And they rose up 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 And it came to pass, when the time was come about, that Hannah conceived, and bare a son; and she 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 unto the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow. 009 1SA 001 022 But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, [I will not go up] until the child be 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 unto her, Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only the LORD establish his word. So the woman tarried and gave her son suck, until she weaned him. 009 1SA 001 024 And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of meal, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child was young. 009 1SA 001 025 And they slew the bullock, and brought the child to Eli. 009 1SA 001 026 And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto 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 wherefore I also have granted him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he is granted to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there. 009 1SA 002 001 And Hannah prayed, and said: My heart exulteth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation. 009 1SA 002 002 There is none holy as the LORD; for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. 009 1SA 002 003 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy 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 have ceased: yea, the barren hath borne seven; and she that hath many children languisheth. 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, he also lifteth up. 009 1SA 002 008 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, he lifteth up the needy from the dunghill, to make them sit with princes, and 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 holy ones, but the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. 009 1SA 002 010 They that strive with the LORD shall be broken to pieces; against them shall he thunder in heaven: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed. 009 1SA 002 011 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest. 009 1SA 002 012 Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD. 009 1SA 002 013 And the custom of the priests with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant came, while the flesh was in seething, 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 therewith. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither. 009 1SA 002 015 Yea, 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 sodden flesh of thee, but raw. 009 1SA 002 016 And if the man said unto him, They will surely burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would say, Nay, but thou shalt give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force. 009 1SA 002 017 And 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 robe, 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 was lent to the LORD. And they went unto their own home. 009 1SA 002 021 And the LORD visited Hannah, and she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD. 009 1SA 002 022 Now Eli was very old; and he heard all that his sons did unto all Israel, and how that they lay with the women that did service at the door of the tent of meeting. 009 1SA 002 023 And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings from 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 sin against another, God shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them. 009 1SA 002 026 And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the LORD, and also with men. 009 1SA 002 027 And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I reveal myself unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt [in bondage] to Pharaoh’s house? 009 1SA 002 028 and did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up unto mine altar to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings of the children of Israel made by fire? 009 1SA 002 029 Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine 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, the 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 thine arm, and the arm of thy father’s house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house. 009 1SA 002 032 And thou shalt behold the affliction of [my] habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever. 009 1SA 002 033 And the man of thine, [whom] I shall not cut off from mine altar, [shall be] to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age. 009 1SA 002 034 And this shall be the sign unto 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 me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever. 009 1SA 002 036 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thine house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests’ offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread. 009 1SA 003 001 And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision. 009 1SA 003 002 And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, (now his eyes had begun to wax dim, that he could not see, ) 009 1SA 003 003 and the lamp of God was not yet gone out, and Samuel was laid down [to sleep], in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was; 009 1SA 003 004 that the LORD called Samuel: and he said, Here am I. 009 1SA 003 005 And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst 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 calledst 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 unto 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 calledst me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child. 009 1SA 003 009 Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he 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 said, 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 that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even unto the end. 009 1SA 003 013 For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever, for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons did bring a curse upon themselves, and he restrained them not. 009 1SA 003 014 And therefore I have sworn unto 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 shew Eli the vision. 009 1SA 003 016 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he said, Here Am I. 009 1SA 003 017 And he said, What is the thing that [the LORD] hath spoken unto thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that he spake unto thee. 009 1SA 003 018 And Samuel told him every whit, 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 did let none of his words fall to the ground. 009 1SA 003 020 And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba 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 pitched beside Eben-ezer: and the Philistines pitched 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 were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us today before the Philistines? Let as fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that it may come among us, and save us out of the hand of our enemies. 009 1SA 004 004 So the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which sitteth upon 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 rang again. 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 was come into the camp. 009 1SA 004 007 And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore. 009 1SA 004 008 Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? these are the gods that smote the Egyptians with all manner of plagues in the wilderness. 009 1SA 004 009 Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight. 009 1SA 004 010 And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man to 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 rent, and with earth upon his head. 009 1SA 004 013 And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon his 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 hasted and came and told Eli. 009 1SA 004 015 Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were set, that he could not see. 009 1SA 004 016 And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled today out of the army. And he said, How went the matter, my son? 009 1SA 004 017 And he that brought the tidings answered and said, Israel is 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 his seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, 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, Phinehas’ wife, 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 brought forth; for her pains came upon her. 009 1SA 004 020 And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast brought forth a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it. 009 1SA 004 021 And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is 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 is departed from Israel; for the ark of God is taken. 009 1SA 005 001 Now the Philistines had taken the ark of God, and they brought it from Eben-ezer unto Ashdod. 009 1SA 005 002 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and 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 morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground 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 morrow morning, behold, Dagon was 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 [lay] 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, unto 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 tumours, even Ashdod and the borders thereof. 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 sore upon as, and upon Dagon our god. 009 1SA 005 008 They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto 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 unto Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about [thither]. 009 1SA 005 009 And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great discomfiture: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and tumours brake out upon them. 009 1SA 005 010 So 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 They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and they 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 discomfiture 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 tumours: 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 with the ark of the LORD? shew us wherewith 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 in any wise return him a guilt 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 guilt offering which we shall return to him? And they said, Five golden tumours, 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 Wherefore ye shall make images of your tumours, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land: 009 1SA 006 006 Wherefore 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 take and prepare you a new cart, and two milch kine, on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the kine 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 him for a guilt offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go. 009 1SA 006 009 And see, if it goeth up by the way of its own border to Beth-shemesh, 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 milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home: 009 1SA 006 011 and they put the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their tumours. 009 1SA 006 012 And the kine took the straight way by the way to Beth-shemesh; they 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 unto the border of Beth-shemesh. 009 1SA 006 013 And they of Beth-shemesh 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 the Beth-shemite, and stood there, where there was a great stone: and they clave the wood of the cart, and offered up the kine for a burnt offering unto the LORD. 009 1SA 006 015 And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the coffer that was with it, wherein the jewels of gold were, and put them on the great stone: and the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day unto 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 tumours which the Philistines returned for a guilt offering unto the LORD; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Ashkelon 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 fenced cities and of country villages: even unto the great stone, whereon they set down the ark of the LORD, [which stone remaineth] unto this day in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite. 009 1SA 006 019 And he smote of the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people seventy men, [and] fifty thousand men: and the people mourned, because the LORD had smitten the people with a great slaughter. 009 1SA 006 020 And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before the LORD, this holy God? and to whom shall he go up from us? 009 1SA 006 021 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the LORD; come ye down, and fetch it up to you. 009 1SA 007 001 And the men of Kiriath-jearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD. 009 1SA 007 002 And it came to pass, from the day that the ark abode in Kiriath-jearim, 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 spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your heart, then put away the strange gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines. 009 1SA 007 004 Then the children of Israel did put away the Baalim and the Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only. 009 1SA 007 005 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray for you unto the LORD. 009 1SA 007 006 And they gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah. 009 1SA 007 007 And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpah, 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 unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines. 009 1SA 007 009 And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt offering unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD answered him. 009 1SA 007 010 And as Samuel was offering up 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 discomfited them; and they were smitten down before Israel. 009 1SA 007 011 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Beth-car. 009 1SA 007 012 Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us. 009 1SA 007 013 So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more within the border 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 unto Gath; and the border thereof did Israel deliver out of the hand 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 Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he 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 he built there an altar unto 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, Abijah: they were judges in Beer-sheba. 009 1SA 008 003 And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment. 009 1SA 008 004 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah: 009 1SA 008 005 and they said unto 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 unto the LORD. 009 1SA 008 007 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not be king over them. 009 1SA 008 008 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, in that they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee. 009 1SA 008 009 Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit thou shalt protest solemnly unto them, and shalt shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them. 009 1SA 008 010 And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto 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 unto him, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and they shall run before his chariots: 009 1SA 008 012 and he will appoint them unto him for captains of thousands and captains of fifties; and [he will set some] to plow his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and the instruments of his chariots. 009 1SA 008 013 And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, 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 menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work. 009 1SA 008 017 He will take the tenth of your flocks: 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 you; and the LORD will not answer you in that day. 009 1SA 008 019 But the people refused to hearken unto 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 rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD. 009 1SA 008 022 And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto 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 Becorath, the son of Aphiah, the son of a Benjamite, a mighty man of valour. 009 1SA 009 002 And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a young man and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people. 009 1SA 009 003 And the asses 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 asses. 009 1SA 009 004 And he passed through the hill country of Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalishah, but they found them not: then they passed through the land of Shaalim, and there they were not: and he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they found them not. 009 1SA 009 005 When they were come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant that was with him, Come and let us return; lest my father leave caring for the asses, and take thought for us. 009 1SA 009 006 And he said unto him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is a man that is held in honour; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can tell us concerning our journey whereon we go. 009 1SA 009 007 Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, if we go, what shall we bring 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, Beheld, I have in my 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 (Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he said, Come and let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.) 009 1SA 009 010 Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of God was. 009 1SA 009 011 As they went up the ascent to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said unto them, Is the seer here? 009 1SA 009 012 And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, [he is] before thee: make haste now, for he is come today into the city; for the people have a sacrifice today in the high place: 009 1SA 009 013 as soon as ye be come into the city, ye shall straightway find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat until he come, because he doth bless the sacrifice; [and] afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up; for at this time ye shall find him. 009 1SA 009 014 And they went up to the city; [and] as they came within the city, behold, Samuel came out against them, for to go up to the high place. 009 1SA 009 015 Now the LORD had revealed unto Samuel a day before Saul came, saying, 009 1SA 009 016 Tomorrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be prince over my people Israel, and he shall save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me: 009 1SA 009 017 And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him, Behold the man of whom I spake to thee! this same shall have authority 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 unto the high place, for ye shall eat with me today: and in the morning I will let thee go, and will tell thee all that is in thine heart. 009 1SA 009 020 And as for thine asses that were lost three days ago, set not thy mind on them; for they are found. And for whom is all that is desirable in Israel? Is it not for thee, and for 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? wherefore then speakest thou to me after this manner? 009 1SA 009 022 And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the guest-chamber, and made them sit in the chiefest place among them that were bidden, which were about thirty persons. 009 1SA 009 023 And Samuel said unto the cook, Bring the portion which I gave thee, of which I said unto thee, Set it by thee. 009 1SA 009 024 And the cook took up the thigh, and that which was upon it, and set it before Saul. And [Samuel] said, Behold that which hath been reserved! set it before thee and eat; because unto the appointed time hath it been kept for thee, for I said, I have invited the people. So Saul did eat with Samuel that day. 009 1SA 009 025 And when they were come down from the high place into the city, he communed with Saul upon the housetop. 009 1SA 009 026 And they arose early: and it came to pass about the spring of the day, that Samuel called to Saul on the housetop, saying, Up, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad. 009 1SA 009 027 As they were going down at the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us, (and he passed on, ) but stand thou still at this time, that I may cause thee to hear the word of God. 009 1SA 010 001 Then Samuel took the vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not that the LORD hath anointed thee to be prince over his inheritance? 009 1SA 010 002 When thou art departed from me today, then thou shalt find two men by Rachel’s sepulchre, in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and taketh thought for you, saying, What shall I do for my son? 009 1SA 010 003 Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the oak of Tabor, and there shall meet thee there three men going up to God to Beth-el, 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 salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hand. 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 art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall be prophesying: 009 1SA 010 006 and the spirit of the LORD will come mightily 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 are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion 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 unto thee, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come unto thee, and shew 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 thither to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him; and the spirit of God came mightily upon him, and he prophesied among them. 009 1SA 010 011 And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets? 009 1SA 010 012 And one of the same place answered and said, And who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets? 009 1SA 010 013 And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place. 009 1SA 010 014 And Saul’s uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses: and when we saw that they were not found, we came to Samuel. 009 1SA 010 015 And Saul’s uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you. 009 1SA 010 016 And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But concerning the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told him not. 009 1SA 010 017 And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to Mizpah; 009 1SA 010 018 and he said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you: 009 1SA 010 019 but ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saveth you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and ye have said unto 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 So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken. 009 1SA 010 021 And he brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families, and the family of the Matrites was taken: and Saul the son of Kish was taken; but when they sought him, he could not be found. 009 1SA 010 022 Therefore they asked of the LORD further, Is there yet a man to come hither? And the LORD answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the stuff. 009 1SA 010 023 And they ran and fetched him thence; and when he stood among the people, he was higher 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 to his house to Gibeah; and there went with him the host, whose hearts God had touched. 009 1SA 010 027 But certain sons of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no present. But he held his peace. 009 1SA 011 001 Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabesh-gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee. 009 1SA 011 002 And Nahash the Ammonite said unto them, On this condition will I make it with you, that all your right eyes be put out; and I will lay it for a reproach upon all Israel. 009 1SA 011 003 And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days’ respite, that we may send messengers unto all the borders of Israel: and then, if there be none to save us, we will come out to thee. 009 1SA 011 004 Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and spake these words in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voice, and wept. 009 1SA 011 005 And, behold, Saul came following the oxen out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the words of the men of Jabesh. 009 1SA 011 006 And the spirit of God came mightily upon Saul when he heard those words, and his anger was kindled greatly. 009 1SA 011 007 And he took a yoke of oxen, and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the dread of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out as one man. 009 1SA 011 008 And he numbered them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand. 009 1SA 011 009 And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, ye shall have deliverance. And the messengers came and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad. 009 1SA 011 010 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, Tomorrow we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you. 009 1SA 011 011 And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and smote the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together. 009 1SA 011 012 And the people said unto 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 today the LORD hath wrought deliverance 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 unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto 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 gray-headed; and, behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my youth unto this day. 009 1SA 012 003 Here I am: witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I taken a ransom to blind mine eyes therewith? 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 aught of any man’s hand. 009 1SA 012 005 And he said unto them, The LORD is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found aught in my hand. And they said, He is witness. 009 1SA 012 006 And Samuel said unto the people, It is the LORD that appointed Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt. 009 1SA 012 007 Now therefore stand still, that I may plead with you before the LORD concerning all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he did to you and to your fathers. 009 1SA 012 008 When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried unto the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, who brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them to dwell in this place. 009 1SA 012 009 But they forgat the LORD their God, and 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 unto the LORD, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served the Baalim and the Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of 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 out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelled in safety. 009 1SA 012 012 And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said unto 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 asked for: and, behold, the LORD hath set a king over you. 009 1SA 012 014 If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and hearken unto his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, and both ye and also the king that reigneth over you be followers of the LORD your God, [well]: 009 1SA 012 015 but if ye will not hearken unto 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 still and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes. 009 1SA 012 017 Is it not wheat harvest today? I will call unto the LORD, that he may send thunder and rain; and ye shall know 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 unto 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 unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the LORD thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins [this] evil, to ask us a king. 009 1SA 012 020 And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have indeed done all this evil: 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 a people unto himself. 009 1SA 012 023 Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will instruct you in 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 how 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 was [thirty] years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years over Israel. 009 1SA 013 002 And Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel; whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the mount of Beth-el, 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 say that Saul had smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also was had in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal. 009 1SA 013 005 And the Philistines assembled 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 pitched in Michmash, eastward of Beth-aven. 009 1SA 013 006 When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait, (for the people were distressed, ) then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in holds, and in pits. 009 1SA 013 007 Now some of the Hebrews had gone over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but 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 hither the burnt offering to me, and the peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering. 009 1SA 013 010 And it came to pass that, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute 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 assembled themselves together at Michmash; 009 1SA 013 012 therefore said I, Now will the Philistines come down upon me to Gilgal, and I have not entreated the favour of the LORD: I forced myself therefore, and offered the 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 appointed him to be prince over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee. 009 1SA 013 015 And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto 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 Geba 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 unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah, unto the land of Shual: 009 1SA 013 018 and another company turned the way to Beth-horon: and another company turned the way of the border that looketh down upon 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 yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes; and to set 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 unto the pass of Michmash. 009 1SA 014 001 Now it fell upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armour, Come and let us go over to the Philistines’ garrison, that is on yonder side. But he told not his father. 009 1SA 014 002 And Saul abode in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men: 009 1SA 014 003 and Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of the LORD in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone. 009 1SA 014 004 And between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines’ garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side, and a rocky crag on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh. 009 1SA 014 005 The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba. 009 1SA 014 006 And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come and let us go over unto 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 unto him, Do all that is in thine heart: turn thee, behold I am with thee according to thy heart. 009 1SA 014 008 Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto the men, and we will discover ourselves unto them. 009 1SA 014 009 If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto them. 009 1SA 014 010 But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go up: for the LORD hath delivered them into our hand: and this shall be the sign unto us. 009 1SA 014 011 And both of them discovered themselves unto 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 shew you a thing. And Jonathan said unto 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 them after him. 009 1SA 014 014 And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was about twenty men within as it were half a furrow’s length in an acre of land. 009 1SA 014 015 And there was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled: and the earth quaked; so there was an exceeding 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 [hither] and thither. 009 1SA 014 017 Then said Saul unto 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 unto Ahijah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was [there] at that time with the children of Israel. 009 1SA 014 019 And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest, that the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thine hand. 009 1SA 014 020 And Saul and all the people that were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle: and, behold, every man’s sword was against his fellow, [and there was] a very great discomfiture. 009 1SA 014 021 Now the Hebrews that were with the Philistines as beforetime, which went up with them into the camp [from the country] round about; 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 which had hid themselves in the hill country of 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 by Beth-aven. 009 1SA 014 024 And the men of Israel were distressed that day: but Saul adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until it be evening, and I be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted food. 009 1SA 014 025 And all the people came into the forest; and there was honey upon the ground. 009 1SA 014 026 And when the people were come unto the forest, behold, the honey dropped: 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: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in the 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 straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth 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 mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey. 009 1SA 014 030 How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for now hath there been no great slaughter among the Philistines. 009 1SA 014 031 And they smote of 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 did eat 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 dealt treacherously: roll a great stone unto me this day. 009 1SA 014 034 And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither 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 unto the LORD: the same was the first altar that he built unto 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 whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God. 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, Draw nigh hither, all ye chiefs of the people: and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day. 009 1SA 014 039 For, as the LORD liveth, which saveth Israel, though it be 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 unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee. 009 1SA 014 041 Therefore Saul said unto the LORD, the God of Israel, Shew the right. And Jonathan and Saul were taken [by lot]: 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 certainly taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in mine hand; and, lo, I must die. 009 1SA 014 044 And Saul said, God do so and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan. 009 1SA 014 045 And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? God forbid: 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 Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he 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 whithersoever he turned himself, he vexed [them]. 009 1SA 014 048 And he did valiantly, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them. 009 1SA 014 049 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishvi, and Malchishua: 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 sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he took him unto him. 009 1SA 015 001 And Samuel said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice the words of the LORD. 009 1SA 015 002 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I have marked that which Amalek did to Israel, how he set himself against him in the way, when he came up out of 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 ass. 009 1SA 015 004 And Saul summoned the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah. 009 1SA 015 005 And Saul came to the city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley. 009 1SA 015 006 And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites. 009 1SA 015 007 And Saul Smote the Amalekites, from Havilah as thou goest to Shur, that is before 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 unto Samuel, saying, 009 1SA 015 011 It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And Samuel was wroth; and he cried unto the LORD all night. 009 1SA 015 012 And Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning; and it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a monument, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal. 009 1SA 015 013 And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto 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 mine 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 unto the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed. 009 1SA 015 016 Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the LORD hath said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on. 009 1SA 015 017 And Samuel said, Though thou wast little in thine 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 be consumed. 009 1SA 015 019 wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst that which was evil in the sight of the LORD? 009 1SA 015 020 And Saul said unto 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 devoted things, to sacrifice unto 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 idolatry and teraphim. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king. 009 1SA 015 024 And Saul said unto 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 unto 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 go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his robe, and it rent. 009 1SA 015 028 And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent 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 hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. 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; for Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel. 009 1SA 016 001 And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from being king over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Beth-lehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons. 009 1SA 016 002 And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the LORD said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the LORD. 009 1SA 016 003 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee. 009 1SA 016 004 And Samuel did that which the LORD spake, and came to Beth-lehem. And the elders of the city came to meet him trembling, and said, Comest thou peaceably? 009 1SA 016 005 And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto 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 were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD’S anointed is before him. 009 1SA 016 007 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected 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 And Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these. 009 1SA 016 011 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither. 009 1SA 016 012 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look upon. 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 mightily upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. 009 1SA 016 014 Now the spirit of the LORD had departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him. 009 1SA 016 015 And Saul’s servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee. 009 1SA 016 016 Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man who is a cunning player on the 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 unto 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 young men, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-lehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty man of valour, and a man of war, and prudent in speech, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him. 009 1SA 016 019 Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep. 009 1SA 016 020 And Jesse took an ass [laden] with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto 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 the 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 they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim. 009 1SA 017 002 And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched in the vale of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines. 009 1SA 017 003 And the Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them. 009 1SA 017 004 And there went out a champion out of 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 clad 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 javelin 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 his shield-bearer went before him. 009 1SA 017 008 And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me. 009 1SA 017 009 If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I 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 And 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 Beth-lehem-judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man was an old man in the days of Saul, stricken [in years] among men. 009 1SA 017 013 And the three eldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next unto 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 Now David went to and fro from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Beth-lehem. 009 1SA 017 016 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days. 009 1SA 017 017 And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and carry [them] quickly to the camp to thy brethren; 009 1SA 017 018 and bring these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look 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 vale of Elah, fighting with the Philistines. 009 1SA 017 020 And David rose up 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 place of the wagons, as the host which was going forth to the fight shouted for the battle. 009 1SA 017 021 And Israel and the Philistines 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 to the army, and came and saluted 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, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spake 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 sore afraid. 009 1SA 017 025 And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth 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 spake 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 spake unto the men; and Eliab’s anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why art thou come down? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest 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 away from him toward another, and spake 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 spake, they rehearsed 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 unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father’s sheep; and when there came a lion, or a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock, 009 1SA 017 035 I went out 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 smote 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 And David said, 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 unto David, Go, and the LORD shall be with thee. 009 1SA 017 038 And Saul clad David with his apparel, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head, and he clad him with a coat of mail. 009 1SA 017 039 And David girded his sword upon his apparel, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him. 009 1SA 017 040 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd’s bag which he had, even in his scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine. 009 1SA 017 041 And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him. 009 1SA 017 042 And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and withal of a fair countenance. 009 1SA 017 043 And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? 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 unto 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 javelin: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, which thou hast defied. 009 1SA 017 046 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from off thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto 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 that all this assembly may know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD’S, and he will give you into our hand. 009 1SA 017 048 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 009 1SA 017 049 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank 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 Then David ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw that 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, until thou comest to Gai, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron. 009 1SA 017 053 And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their camp. 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 unto 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, Inquire 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 Beth-lehemite. 009 1SA 018 001 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto 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 apparel, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle. 009 1SA 018 005 And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, [and] behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and it was good 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 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 timbrels, with joy, and with instruments of music. 009 1SA 018 007 And the women sang one to another in their play, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands. 009 1SA 018 008 And Saul was very wroth, and this saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom? 009 1SA 018 009 And Saul eyed David from that day and forward. 009 1SA 018 010 And it came to pass on the morrow, that an evil spirit from God came mightily upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as he did day by day: and Saul had his spear in his hand. 009 1SA 018 011 and Saul cast the spear; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall. And David avoided out of his presence twice. 009 1SA 018 012 And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was 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 And when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him. 009 1SA 018 016 But all Israel and Judah loved David; for 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 to wife: only be thou valiant for me. and fight the LORD’S battles. For Saul said, Let not mine hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him. 009 1SA 018 018 And David said unto 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 unto Adriel the Meholathite to 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 him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son in law a second time. 009 1SA 018 022 And Saul commanded his servants, [saying], Commune 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 spake those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be the 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 spake 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. Now 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 were not expired; 009 1SA 018 027 and 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 tale to the king, that he might be the king’s son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife. 009 1SA 018 028 And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David; and Michal Saul’s daughter loved him. 009 1SA 018 029 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David’s enemy continually. 009 1SA 018 030 Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, as often as they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by. 009 1SA 019 001 And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should slay David. But Jonathan Saul’s son delighted much in David. 009 1SA 019 002 And Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to slay thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself in 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 commune with my father of thee; and if I see aught, I will tell thee. 009 1SA 019 004 And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been to thee-ward very good: 009 1SA 019 005 for he put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great victory for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause? 009 1SA 019 006 And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As the LORD liveth, he shall not be put to death. 009 1SA 019 007 And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan shewed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as beforetime. 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 before him. 009 1SA 019 009 And an evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul as he sat in his house with his spear 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 spear; but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence, and he smote the spear into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night. 009 1SA 019 011 And Saul sent messengers unto David’s house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David’s wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to-night, tomorrow thou shalt be slain. 009 1SA 019 012 So Michal let David down through the window: and he went, and fled, and escaped; 009 1SA 019 013 And Michal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ [hair] at the head thereof, and covered it with the clothes. 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 to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him. 009 1SA 019 016 And when the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats’ [hair] at the head thereof. 009 1SA 019 017 And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me thus, and let mine enemy go, that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill thee? 009 1SA 019 018 Now 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 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 head over them, the spirit of God came 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 also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied. 009 1SA 019 022 Then went he also to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah. 009 1SA 019 023 And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the spirit of God came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah. 009 1SA 019 024 And he also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore 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 mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life? 009 1SA 020 002 And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father doeth nothing either great or small, but that he discloseth it unto me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so. 009 1SA 020 003 And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father knoweth well that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he 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 unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee. 009 1SA 020 005 And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even. 009 1SA 020 006 If thy father miss me at all, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Beth-lehem his city: for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family. 009 1SA 020 007 If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be wroth, then know that evil is determined by him. 009 1SA 020 008 Therefore deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee: but if there be 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 should at all know that evil were 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 if perchance thy father answer thee roughly? 009 1SA 020 011 And Jonathan said unto 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 unto David, The LORD, the God of Israel, [be witness]; when I have sounded my father about this time tomorrow, [or] the third day, behold, if there be good toward David, shall I not then send unto thee, and disclose it unto thee? 009 1SA 020 013 The LORD do so to Jonathan, and more also, should it please my father to do thee evil, if I disclose it not unto 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 shew me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not: 009 1SA 020 015 but also thou shalt not cut off 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], And the LORD shall require it at the hand of David’s enemies. 009 1SA 020 017 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul. 009 1SA 020 018 Then Jonathan said unto him, Tomorrow 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, 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 thereof, as though I shot at a mark. 009 1SA 020 021 And, behold, I will send the lad, [saying], Go, find the arrows. If I say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee: take them, and come; for there is peace to thee and no hurt, as the LORD liveth. 009 1SA 020 022 But if I say thus unto the boy, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee: go thy way; for the LORD hath sent thee away. 009 1SA 020 023 And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD is between thee and me for ever. 009 1SA 020 024 So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat. 009 1SA 020 025 And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon the seat by the wall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul’s side: but David’s place was empty. 009 1SA 020 026 Nevertheless Saul spake 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 morrow after the new moon, [which was] the second [day], that David’s place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor today? 009 1SA 020 028 And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Beth-lehem: 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 thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he is not come unto the king’s table. 009 1SA 020 030 Then Saul’s anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of a perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own shame, and unto the shame of thy mother’s nakedness? 009 1SA 020 031 For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be stablished, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die. 009 1SA 020 032 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore should he be put to death? what hath he done? 009 1SA 020 033 And Saul cast his spear at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to put David to death. 009 1SA 020 034 So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no meat 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 unto 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 was 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 unto his lad, and said unto 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, until David exceeded. 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 shall 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 came to meet David trembling, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee? 009 1SA 021 002 And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed the young men to such and such a place. 009 1SA 021 003 Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or whatsoever there is present. 009 1SA 021 004 And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under mine hand, but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women. 009 1SA 021 005 And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days; When I came out, the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was but a common journey; how much more then today shall their vessels be holy? 009 1SA 021 006 So the priest gave him holy [bread]: for there was no bread there but the shewbread, 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 the Edomite, the chiefest of the herdmen that belonged to Saul. 009 1SA 021 008 And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here under thine hand 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 slowest in the vale 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 save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it 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 unto 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 sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath. 009 1SA 021 013 And he changed his behaviour before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard. 009 1SA 021 014 Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad: wherefore then have ye brought him to me? 009 1SA 021 015 Do I lack 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 thence, and escaped to the cave of Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father’s house heard it, they went down thither 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, gathered themselves unto him; and he became captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men. 009 1SA 022 003 And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto 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 hold. 009 1SA 022 005 And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hereth. 009 1SA 022 006 And Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him: now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him. 009 1SA 022 007 And Saul said unto his servants that stood about him, Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, will he 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 discloseth to me when my son maketh a league with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or discloseth unto 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, which stood by 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 inquired of the LORD for him, and gave him victuals, 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 unto 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 inquired 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 among all thy servants is so faithful as David, which is the king’s son in law, and is taken into thy council, and is honourable in thine house? 009 1SA 022 015 Have I today begun to inquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king impute any thing unto his servant, nor to all the house of my father: for thy servant knoweth 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 unto the guard that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the LORD; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and did not disclose 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 he slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen ephod. 009 1SA 022 019 And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen and asses 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 told David that Saul had slain the LORD’S priests. 009 1SA 022 022 And David said unto Abiathar, I knew on 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: for with me thou shalt be in safeguard. 009 1SA 023 001 And they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they rob the threshing-floors. 009 1SA 023 002 Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the LORD said unto David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah. 009 1SA 023 003 And David’s men said unto him, Behold, we be afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines? 009 1SA 023 004 Then David inquired of the LORD yet again. And the LORD answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into thine hand. 009 1SA 023 005 And David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and slew therewith 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 Saul that David was come to Keilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into mine hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars. 009 1SA 023 008 And Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men. 009 1SA 023 009 And David knew that Saul devised mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod. 009 1SA 023 010 Then said David, O LORD, the God of Israel, thy servant hath surely 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, the 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 up 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, which were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he forbare to go forth. 009 1SA 023 014 And David abode in the wilderness in the strong holds, and remained in the hill country 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 was come out to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the 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 unto 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 unto 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 the strong holds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the desert? 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 up into the king’s hand. 009 1SA 023 021 And Saul said, Blessed be ye of the LORD; for ye have had compassion on me. 009 1SA 023 022 Go, I pray you, make yet more sure, and know and see his place where his haunt is, [and] who hath seen him there: for it is told 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 of a certainty, and I will go with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out among 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 Arabah on the south of the desert. 009 1SA 023 025 And Saul and his men went to seek him. And they told David: wherefore he came down to the 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 compassed David and his men round about to take them. 009 1SA 023 027 But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have made a raid upon the land. 009 1SA 023 028 So Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Sela-hammahlekoth. 009 1SA 023 029 And David went up from thence, and dwelt in the strong holds of En-gedi. 009 1SA 024 001 And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of En-gedi. 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 sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet. Now David and his men were abiding in the innermost parts of the cave. 009 1SA 024 004 And the men of David said unto him, Behold, the day of which the LORD said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, and thou shalt do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe privily. 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 unto his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing unto my lord, the LORD’S anointed, to put forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the LORD’S anointed. 009 1SA 024 007 So David checked his men with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. And Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way. 009 1SA 024 008 David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and did obeisance. 009 1SA 024 009 And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearkenest thou to men’s words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt? 009 1SA 024 010 Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered thee today into mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but [mine eye] spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine 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 mine hand, and I have not sinned against thee, though thou huntest after my soul to take it. 009 1SA 024 012 The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee. 009 1SA 024 013 As saith the proverb of the ancients, Out of the wicked cometh forth wickedness: but mine 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 give sentence between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thine hand. 009 1SA 024 016 And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words unto 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 rendered unto me good, whereas I have rendered unto thee evil. 009 1SA 024 018 And thou hast declared this day how that thou hast dealt well with me: forasmuch as when the LORD had delivered me up into thine hand, thou killedst me not. 009 1SA 024 019 For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? wherefore the LORD reward thee good for that thou hast done unto me this day. 009 1SA 024 020 And now, behold, I know that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thine hand. 009 1SA 024 021 Swear now therefore unto 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 sware unto Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men gat them up unto the hold. 009 1SA 025 001 And Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves 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 the woman was 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 did shear his sheep. 009 1SA 025 005 And David sent ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you 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 unto thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast. 009 1SA 025 007 And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: thy shepherds have now been with us, and we did them no hurt, neither was there aught missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel. 009 1SA 025 008 Ask thy young men, and they will tell thee: wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes; for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand, unto thy servants, and to thy son David. 009 1SA 025 009 And when David’s young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, 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 be many servants now a 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 unto men of whom I know not whence they be? 009 1SA 025 012 So David’s young men turned on their way, and went back, and came and told him according to all these words. 009 1SA 025 013 And David said unto 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 stuff. 009 1SA 025 014 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he flew upon them. 009 1SA 025 015 But the men were very good unto 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 unto us both by night and by 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 house: for he is such a son of Belial, that one 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 parched corn, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses. 009 1SA 025 019 And she said unto her young men, 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 her ass, and came down by the covert of the mountain, that, behold, David and his men came down against 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 unto him: and he hath returned me evil for good. 009 1SA 025 022 God do so unto the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light so much as one man child. 009 1SA 025 023 And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off her ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground. 009 1SA 025 024 And she fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me be the iniquity: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine ears, and hear thou the words of thine handmaid. 009 1SA 025 025 Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: hut I thine 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 withholden thee from bloodguiltiness, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now therefore let thine enemies, and them that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal. 009 1SA 025 027 And now this present which thy servant hath brought unto my lord, let it be given unto the young men that follow my lord. 009 1SA 025 028 Forgive, I pray thee, the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD; and evil shall not be found in thee all thy days. 009 1SA 025 029 And though man be risen up to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as from the hollow 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 prince over Israel; 009 1SA 025 031 that this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: and when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid. 009 1SA 025 032 And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me: 009 1SA 025 033 and blessed be thy wisdom, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from bloodguiltiness, and from avenging myself with mine own hand. 009 1SA 025 034 For in very deed, as the LORD, the God of Israel, liveth, which hath withholden me from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light so much as one man child. 009 1SA 025 035 So David received of her hand that which she had brought him: and he said unto her, Go up in peace to thine 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 drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light. 009 1SA 025 037 And it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things, and 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 back his servant from evil: and the evil-doing of Nabal hath the LORD returned upon his own head. And David sent and spake concerning Abigail, to take her to him to wife. 009 1SA 025 040 And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David hath sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife. 009 1SA 025 041 And she arose, and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, Behold, thine handmaid is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord. 009 1SA 025 042 And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that followed 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 became both of them his wives. 009 1SA 025 044 Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Palti the Son of Laish, which was of Gallim. 009 1SA 026 001 And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert? 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 pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert, 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 was come of a certainty. 009 1SA 026 005 And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched: and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay within the place of the wagons, and the people pitched round about 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 place of the wagons, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head: and Abner and the people lay round about him. 009 1SA 026 008 Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered up thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not smite him the second time. 009 1SA 026 009 And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can put forth his hand against the LORD’S anointed, and be guiltless? 009 1SA 026 010 And David said, As the LORD liveth, the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle, and perish. 009 1SA 026 011 The LORD forbid that I should put forth mine hand against the LORD’S anointed: but now take, I pray thee, 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 Saul’s head; and they gat them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither did any awake: for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep from the LORD was fallen upon them. 009 1SA 026 013 Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of the mountain 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, saving, 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? wherefore then hast thou not kept watch over thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in 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 watch over your lord, 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, Wherefore doth my lord pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in mine hand? 009 1SA 026 019 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it be the LORD that hath stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if it be the children of men, cursed be they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day that I should not cleave unto the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods. 009 1SA 026 020 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of the LORD: for the king of Israel is 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 life was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly. 009 1SA 026 022 And David answered and said, Behold the spear, O king! let then one of the young men come over and fetch it. 009 1SA 026 023 And the LORD shall render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness: forasmuch as the LORD delivered thee into my hand today, and I would not put forth mine hand against the LORD’S anointed. 009 1SA 026 024 And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by 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 mightily, and shalt surely prevail. So David went 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 escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any more in all the borders of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand. 009 1SA 027 002 And David arose, and passed over, he and the six hundred men that were with him, unto 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 Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him. 009 1SA 027 005 And David said unto Achish, If now I have found grace in thine eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities 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: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day. 009 1SA 027 007 And the number of the days 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 made a raid upon the Geshurites, and the Girzites, and the Amalekites: for those [nations] were the inhabitants of the land, which were of old, as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt. 009 1SA 027 009 And David smote the land, and saved neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel; and he returned, and came to Achish. 009 1SA 027 010 And Achish said, Whither have ye made a raid today? 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 them to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying: So did David, and so hath been his manner all the while he hath dwelt 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 hosts together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David, Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me in the host, thou and thy men. 009 1SA 028 002 And David said to Achish, Therefore thou shalt know what thy servant will do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of mine 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 had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land. 009 1SA 028 004 And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa. 009 1SA 028 005 And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly. 009 1SA 028 006 And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets. 009 1SA 028 007 Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at En-dor. 009 1SA 028 008 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, Divine unto me, I pray thee, by the familiar spirit, and bring me up whomsoever I shall name unto thee. 009 1SA 028 009 And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die? 009 1SA 028 010 And Saul sware 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 unto 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 spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul. 009 1SA 028 013 And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what seest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I see a god coming up out of the earth. 009 1SA 028 014 And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a robe. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and did obeisance. 009 1SA 028 015 And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do. 009 1SA 028 016 And Samuel said, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine adversary? 009 1SA 028 017 And the LORD hath wrought for himself, as he spake by me: and the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David. 009 1SA 028 018 Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the LORD and didst not execute his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto thee this day. 009 1SA 028 019 Moreover the LORD will deliver Israel also with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and tomorrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the LORD shall deliver the host of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines. 009 1SA 028 020 Then Saul fell straightway his full length upon the earth, and was sore 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 unto Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said unto him, Behold, thine handmaid hath hearkened unto thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spakest unto me. 009 1SA 028 022 Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thine 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, constrained him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed. 009 1SA 028 024 And the woman had a fatted calf in the house; and she hasted, and killed it; and she took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof: 009 1SA 028 025 and she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night. 009 1SA 029 001 Now the Philistines gathered together all their hosts to Aphek: and the Israelites pitched by the fountain which is in Jezreel. 009 1SA 029 002 And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands: and David and his men passed on in the rearward with Achish. 009 1SA 029 003 Then said the princes of the Philistines, What do these Hebrews here? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, which hath been with me these days or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell away [unto me] unto this day? 009 1SA 029 004 But the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Make the man return, that he may go back to his place where thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become an adversary to us: for wherewith should this [fellow] reconcile himself unto his lord? 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 hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands? 009 1SA 029 006 Then Achish called David, and said unto him, 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 since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the lords favour thee not. 009 1SA 029 007 Wherefore now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines. 009 1SA 029 008 And David said unto Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been before thee unto 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: notwithstanding the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle. 009 1SA 029 010 Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with the servants of thy lord that are come with thee: and as soon as ye be up early in the morning, and have light, depart. 009 1SA 029 011 So David rose up early, he and his men, 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 made a raid upon the South, and upon Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire; 009 1SA 030 002 and had taken captive the women [and all] that were therein, both small and great: they slew not any, but carried them off, and went their way. 009 1SA 030 003 And when David and his men came to the city, 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 spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David strengthened himself in the LORD his God. 009 1SA 030 007 And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David. 009 1SA 030 008 And David inquired of the LORD, saying, If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake [them], and shalt 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 stayed. 009 1SA 030 010 But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred stayed behind, which 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 did eat; and they gave him water to drink: 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 unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick. 009 1SA 030 014 We made a raid upon the South of the Cherethites, and upon that 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, Wilt thou bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this troop. 009 1SA 030 016 And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad over all the ground, eating and drinking, and feasting, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah. 009 1SA 030 017 And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels and fled. 009 1SA 030 018 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken: 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 brought back all. 009 1SA 030 020 And David took all the flocks and the herds, [which] they drave before those [other] cattle, and said, This is David’s spoil. 009 1SA 030 021 And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made 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 saluted them. 009 1SA 030 022 Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save 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 unto us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand. 009 1SA 030 024 And who will hearken unto you in this matter? for as his share is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his share be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall share alike. 009 1SA 030 025 And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel, unto this day. 009 1SA 030 026 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto 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 which were in Beth-el, and to them which were in Ramoth of the South, and to them which were in Jattir; 009 1SA 030 028 and to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa; 009 1SA 030 029 and to them which were in Racal, and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites; 009 1SA 030 030 and to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Cor-ashan, and to them which were in Athach; 009 1SA 030 031 and to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt. 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 Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul. 009 1SA 031 003 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was greatly distressed by reason of the archers. 009 1SA 031 004 Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell upon it. 009 1SA 031 005 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell 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 beyond 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 morrow, 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 into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry the tidings unto the house of their idols, and to the people. 009 1SA 031 010 And they put his armour in the house of the Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan. 009 1SA 031 011 And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard concerning him 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 Beth-shan; and they came to Jabesh, and burnt them there. 009 1SA 031 013 And they took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted seven days. # # BOOK 010 2SA 2 Samuel 2 Samuel 010 2SA 001 001 And it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was 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 rent, 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 unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped. 010 2SA 001 004 And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, The people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also. 010 2SA 001 005 And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be 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 the horsemen followed hard after him. 010 2SA 001 007 And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I. 010 2SA 001 008 And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite. 010 2SA 001 009 And he said unto me, Stand, I pray thee, beside me, and slay me, for anguish hath taken hold of me; because my life is yet whole in me. 010 2SA 001 010 So I stood beside him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord. 010 2SA 001 011 Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him: 010 2SA 001 012 and they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword. 010 2SA 001 013 And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite. 010 2SA 001 014 And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to put forth thine 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 unto 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 And he bade them teach the children of Judah [the song of] the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jashar. 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, publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon; 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 nor rain upon you, neither fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, not 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 delicately, who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel. 010 2SA 001 025 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain upon thy high places. 010 2SA 001 026 I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women. 010 2SA 001 027 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished! 010 2SA 002 001 And it came to pass after this, that David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron. 010 2SA 002 002 So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal 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, The men of Jabesh-gilead were they that buried Saul. 010 2SA 002 005 And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the LORD, that ye have shewed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him. 010 2SA 002 006 And now the LORD shew kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing. 010 2SA 002 007 Now therefore let your hands be strong, and be ye valiant: for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them. 010 2SA 002 008 Now Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s host, had taken Ish-bosheth 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 (Ish-bosheth 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 Ish-bosheth 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 them 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, I pray thee, arise and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise. 010 2SA 002 015 Then they arose and went over by number; twelve for Benjamin, and for Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David. 010 2SA 002 016 And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and [thrust] his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in Gibeon. 010 2SA 002 017 And the battle was very sore that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David. 010 2SA 002 018 And the three sons of Zeruiah were 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, Is it thou, Asahel? And he answered, It is I. 010 2SA 002 021 And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following of him. 010 2SA 002 022 And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother? 010 2SA 002 023 Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him in the belly, 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 But Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were 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 band, 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, ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren? 010 2SA 002 027 And Joab said, As God liveth, if thou hadst not spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone away, nor followed every one his brother. 010 2SA 002 028 So Joab blew the trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more. 010 2SA 002 029 And Abner and his men went all that night through the Arabah; and they passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and 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 threescore men died. 010 2SA 002 032 And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Beth-lehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and the day brake upon them at Hebron. 010 2SA 003 001 Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: and David waxed stronger and stronger, but the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker. 010 2SA 003 002 And unto 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, of Eglah David’s wife. These were born to David in Hebron. 010 2SA 003 006 And it come to pass, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself strong in the house of Saul. 010 2SA 003 007 Now Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and [Ish-bosheth] said to Abner, Wherefore hast thou gone in unto my father’s concubine? 010 2SA 003 008 Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I a dog’s head that belongeth to Judah? This day do I shew kindness unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, and yet thou chargest me this day with a fault concerning this woman. 010 2SA 003 009 God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as the LORD hath sworn to David, I do not even so to him; 010 2SA 003 010 to translate the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beer-sheba. 010 2SA 003 011 And he could not answer Abner another word, 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 unto 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 first bring Michal Saul’s daughter, when thou comest to see my face. 010 2SA 003 014 And David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth Saul’s son, saying, Deliver me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to me for an hundred foreskins of the Philistines. 010 2SA 003 015 And Ish-bosheth sent, and took her from her husband, even from Paltiel the son of Laish. 010 2SA 003 016 And her husband went with her, weeping as he went, and followed her to Bahurim. Then said Abner unto him, Go, return: and he returned. 010 2SA 003 017 And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, In times past ye sought for David 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 out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies. 010 2SA 003 019 And Abner also spake 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 to the whole house of Benjamin. 010 2SA 003 020 So Abner came to David to 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 unto David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel unto my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thy soul 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 a foray, and brought in a great spoil with them: but Abner was not with David in Hebron; for he had sent him away, and he was gone in peace. 010 2SA 003 023 When Joab and all the host that was with him were come, they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace. 010 2SA 003 024 Then Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou done? behold, Abner came unto 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 was come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah: but David knew it not. 010 2SA 003 027 And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the midst of the gate to speak with him quietly, and smote him there in the belly, 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 fall upon the head of Joab, and upon all his father’s house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth by the sword, or that lacketh bread. 010 2SA 003 030 So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had killed 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 you with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David 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 for Abner, and said, Should Abner die as a fool dieth? 010 2SA 003 034 Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters: as a man falleth before the children of iniquity, so didst thou fall. And all the people wept again over him. 010 2SA 003 035 And all the people came to cause David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David sware, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or aught else, till the sun be down. 010 2SA 003 036 And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them: as whatsoever the king did pleased all the people. 010 2SA 003 037 So 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 unto his servants, Know ye not that there is 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 be too hard for me: the LORD reward the wicked doer according to his wickedness. 010 2SA 004 001 And when [Ish-bosheth], Saul’s son, heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled. 010 2SA 004 002 And [Ish-bosheth], 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 the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (for Beeroth also is 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 Now 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 Ish-bosheth, as he took his rest at noon. 010 2SA 004 006 And they came thither into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him in the belly: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped. 010 2SA 004 007 Now when they came into the house, as he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and went by the way of the Arabah all night. 010 2SA 004 008 And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul thine enemy, which 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 unto 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, which was the reward I gave him 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 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 up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth, and buried it in the grave of Abner in Hebron. 010 2SA 005 001 Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh. 010 2SA 005 002 In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was thou that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over Israel. 010 2SA 005 003 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a covenant 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 mouths: 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 against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which spake unto David, saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither. 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, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites, let him get up to the watercourse, and [smite] the lame and the blind, that are hated of David’s soul. Wherefore they say, There are the blind and the lame; he cannot come into the house. 010 2SA 005 009 And David dwelt in the strong hold, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward. 010 2SA 005 010 And David waxed greater and greater; for the LORD, the 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 him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to David. 010 2SA 005 014 And these be the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon, 010 2SA 005 015 and Ibhar, and Elishua; and Nepheg, and Japhia; 010 2SA 005 016 and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphelet. 010 2SA 005 017 And when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold. 010 2SA 005 018 Now the Philistines had come and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. 010 2SA 005 019 And David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto David, Go up: for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into thine hand. 010 2SA 005 020 And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and he said, The LORD hath broken mine enemies before me, like the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-perazim. 010 2SA 005 021 And they left their images there, and David and his men took them away. 010 2SA 005 022 And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. 010 2SA 005 023 And when David inquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt not go up: make a circuit behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees. 010 2SA 005 024 And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then is the LORD gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines. 010 2SA 005 025 And David did so, as the LORD commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gezer. 010 2SA 006 001 And David again 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 Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, which is called by the Name, even the name of the LORD of hosts that sitteth upon 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 the hill: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart. 010 2SA 006 004 And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was in the hill, with 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 with all manner of [instruments made of] fir wood, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with castanets, and with cymbals. 010 2SA 006 006 And when they came to the threshing-floor of Nacon, Uzzah put forth [his hand] to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen stumbled. 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 upon Uzzah: and he called that place Perez-uzzah, unto this day. 010 2SA 006 009 And David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, How shall the ark of the LORD come unto me? 010 2SA 006 010 So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city of David; but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. 010 2SA 006 011 And the ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obed-edom, and all his house. 010 2SA 006 012 And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that pertaineth to him, because of the ark of God. And David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with joy. 010 2SA 006 013 And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling. 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 it was so, as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the 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, in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD. 010 2SA 006 018 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts. 010 2SA 006 019 And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to every one a cake of bread, and a portion [of flesh], and a cake of raisins. 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 today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself! 010 2SA 006 021 And David said unto Michal, [It was] before the LORD, which chose me above thy father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I play before the LORD. 010 2SA 006 022 And I will be yet more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: but of the handmaids which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour. 010 2SA 006 023 And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death. 010 2SA 007 001 And it came to pass, when the king dwelt in his house, and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies round about, 010 2SA 007 002 that the king said unto 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 thine heart; for the LORD is with thee. 010 2SA 007 004 And it came to pass the same night, that the word of the LORD came unto 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 for I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up 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 places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel, spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedar? 010 2SA 007 008 Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be prince over my people, over Israel: 010 2SA 007 009 and I have been with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee; and I will make thee a great name, like unto the name of the great ones that are in the earth. 010 2SA 007 010 And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as at the first, 010 2SA 007 011 and [as] from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will cause thee to rest from all thine enemies. Moreover the LORD telleth thee that the LORD will make thee an house. 010 2SA 007 012 When thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, 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 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 thine house and thy kingdom shall be made sure 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 unto David. 010 2SA 007 018 Then David the king 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 thine eyes, O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant’s house for a great while to come; and this too after the manner of men, O Lord GOD! 010 2SA 007 020 And what can David say more unto thee? for thou knowest thy servant, O Lord GOD. 010 2SA 007 021 For thy word’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou wrought all this greatness, to make thy servant know it. 010 2SA 007 022 Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside 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 unto himself for a people, and to make him a name, and to do great things for you, and terrible things for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee out of Egypt, [from] the nations and their gods? 010 2SA 007 024 And thou didst establish to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God. 010 2SA 007 025 And now, O LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, confirm thou it for ever, and do as thou hast spoken. 010 2SA 007 026 And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is God over Israel: and the house of thy servant David shall be established before thee. 010 2SA 007 027 For thou, O LORD of hosts, the 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 unto thee. 010 2SA 007 028 And now, O Lord GOD, thou art God, and thy words are truth, and thou hast promised this good thing unto thy servant: 010 2SA 007 029 now therefore 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 the bridle of the mother city out of the hand of the Philistines. 010 2SA 008 002 And he smote Moab, and measured them with the line, making them to lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and one full fine to keep alive. And the Moabites became servants to David, and brought presents. 010 2SA 008 003 David smote also Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his dominion at the River. 010 2SA 008 004 And David took from him a thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots. 010 2SA 008 005 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer king of Zobah, David smote 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 presents. And the LORD gave victory to David whithersoever 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 exceeding much brass. 010 2SA 008 009 And 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 unto king David, to salute 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 These also did king David dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and gold that he dedicated of all the 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 gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the Valley of Salt, even eighteen thousand men. 010 2SA 008 014 And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the LORD gave victory to David whithersoever he went. 010 2SA 008 015 And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto 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 priests; and Seraiah was scribe; 010 2SA 008 018 and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was over] the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were priests. 010 2SA 009 001 And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew 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 they called him unto David; and the king said unto 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 shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet. 010 2SA 009 004 And the king said unto him, Where is he? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar. 010 2SA 009 005 Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar. 010 2SA 009 006 And Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came unto David, and fell on his face, and did obeisance. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant! 010 2SA 009 007 And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father’s sake, 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 did obeisance, 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 unto him, All that pertained to Saul and to all his house have I given unto thy master’s son. 010 2SA 009 010 And thou shalt till the land for him, thou, and thy sons, and thy servants; and thou shalt bring in [the fruits], that thy master’s son may have bread to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master’s son shall eat bread alway at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants. 010 2SA 009 011 Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king commandeth his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, [said the king], he shall eat at my table, as one of the kings sons. 010 2SA 009 012 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth. 010 2SA 009 013 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king’s table; and he was lame on 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 And David said, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness unto me. So David sent by the hand of his servants to comfort him concerning his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon. 010 2SA 010 003 But the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David sent his servants unto thee to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it? 010 2SA 010 004 So 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 unto David, he sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return. 010 2SA 010 006 And when the children of Ammon saw that they were become odious to David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with a thousand men, and the men of Tob 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 entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zobah, and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field. 010 2SA 010 009 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set 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 committed into the hand of Abishai his brother, and he put them in array against the children of Ammon. 010 2SA 010 011 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon 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 So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him. 010 2SA 010 014 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem. 010 2SA 010 015 And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse 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, with Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer at their head. 010 2SA 010 017 And it was told David; and 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 of the Syrians [the men of] seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, that he died there. 010 2SA 010 019 And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse 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, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go out [to battle], that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. 010 2SA 011 002 And it came to pass at eventide, 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 bathing; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon. 010 2SA 011 003 And David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bath-sheba, 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 unto him, and he lay with her; (for she was purified from her uncleanness; ) and she returned unto her house. 010 2SA 011 005 And the woman conceived; and she 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 was come unto him, David asked of him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered. 010 2SA 011 008 And David said to Uriah, Go down thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king’s house, and there followed him a mess [of meat] 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 unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Art thou not come from a journey? wherefore didst thou not go down unto thine house? 010 2SA 011 011 And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in booths; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open field; shall I then go into mine 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 today also, and tomorrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow. 010 2SA 011 013 And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even 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 forefront 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 kept watch upon the city, that he assigned Uriah unto the 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, even 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 he charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling all the things concerning the war unto the king, 010 2SA 011 020 it shall be that, if the king’s wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore went ye so nigh unto the city to 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 an upper millstone upon him from the wall, that he died at Thebez? why went ye so nigh the wall? then shalt thou say, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. 010 2SA 011 022 So the messenger went, and came and shewed David all that Joab had sent him for. 010 2SA 011 023 And the messenger said unto David, The men prevailed against us and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entering of the gate. 010 2SA 011 024 And the shooters shot at thy servants from off the wall; and some of the king’s servants be dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. 010 2SA 011 025 Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou say unto 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 made lamentation for her husband. 010 2SA 011 027 And when the mourning was past, David sent and took her home to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD. 010 2SA 012 001 And the LORD sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor. 010 2SA 012 002 The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds: 010 2SA 012 003 but the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own morsel, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter. 010 2SA 012 004 And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him, but took the poor man’s lamb, and dressed it for the man that was 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 is worthy to 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, the God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of 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 have added unto thee such and such things. 010 2SA 012 009 Wherefore hast thou despised the word of the LORD, to do that which is evil in his sight? thou hast smitten 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 thine 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 thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto 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 unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. 010 2SA 012 014 Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die. 010 2SA 012 015 And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife bare unto David, and it 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 stood] beside him, to raise him up 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 spake unto him, and he hearkened not unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead? 010 2SA 012 019 But when David saw that his servants whispered together, David perceived that the child was dead: and David said unto 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 he came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required they set bread before him, and he did eat. 010 2SA 012 021 Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when 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 knoweth whether the LORD will not be gracious to me, that the child may live? 010 2SA 012 023 But now he is dead, wherefore 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 Bath-sheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare 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, for the LORD’S sake. 010 2SA 012 026 Now 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, yea, I 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 the crown of their king from off his head; and the weight thereof was a talent of gold, and [in it were] precious stones; and it was set on David’s head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city, exceeding much. 010 2SA 012 031 And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned unto 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 because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and it seemed hard to Amnon to do any thing unto 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 unto him, Why, O son of the king, art thou thus lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister. 010 2SA 013 005 And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and feign thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, Let my sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and give me bread to eat, and dress 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 feigned himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, Let my sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and make 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 dress him food. 010 2SA 013 008 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was laid down. And she took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes. 010 2SA 013 009 And she took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me. And they went out every man from him. 010 2SA 013 010 And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the food into the chamber, that I may eat of thine 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 near unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto 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, whither shall I carry my shame? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee. 010 2SA 013 014 Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but being stronger than she, he forced her, and lay with her. 010 2SA 013 015 Then Amnon hated her with exceeding great hatred; for the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone. 010 2SA 013 016 And she said unto him, Not so, because this great wrong in putting me forth is [worse] than the other that thou didst unto me. But he would not hearken unto her. 010 2SA 013 017 Then he called his servant that ministered unto 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 divers 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 rent her garment of divers colours that was on her; and she laid her hand on her head, and went her way, crying aloud as she went. 010 2SA 013 020 And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but now hold thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; take not this thing to heart. 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 wroth. 010 2SA 013 022 And Absalom spake unto 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 years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal-hazor, 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 pray 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 go, lest we be burdensome unto thee. And he pressed him: howbeit 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 unto him, Why should he go with thee? 010 2SA 013 027 But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him. 010 2SA 013 028 And Absalom commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now, when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine; and when I say unto you, smite Amnon, then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant. 010 2SA 013 029 And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled. 010 2SA 013 030 And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that the tidings 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 rent his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent. 010 2SA 013 032 And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have killed 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 much people by the way of the hill side behind him. 010 2SA 013 035 And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king’s sons are come: as thy servant said, so it is. 010 2SA 013 036 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that, behold, the king’s sons came, and lifted up their voice, and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very sore. 010 2SA 013 037 But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai the son of Ammihur, 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 unto 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 Tekoa, and fetched thence a wise woman, and said unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on mourning apparel, I pray thee, 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 go in to the king, and speak on this manner unto him. So Joab put the words in her mouth. 010 2SA 014 004 And when the woman of Tekoa spake 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 unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered; Of a truth I am a widow woman, and mine 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 killed him. 010 2SA 014 007 And, behold, the whole family is risen against thine 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 so destroy the heir also: thus shall they quench my coal which is left, and shall leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the face of the earth. 010 2SA 014 008 And the king said unto the woman, Go to thine house, and I will give charge concerning thee. 010 2SA 014 009 And the woman of Tekoa said unto 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, Whosoever saith aught unto 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 the avenger of blood destroy not any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As the LORD liveth, there shalt not one hair of thy son fall to the earth. 010 2SA 014 012 Then the woman said, Let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak a word unto my lord the king. And he said, Say on. 010 2SA 014 013 And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou devised such a thing against the people of God? for in speaking this word the king is as one which is guilty, in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished one. 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 take away life, but deviseth means, that he that is banished be not an outcast from him. 010 2SA 014 015 Now therefore seeing that I am come to speak this word unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his servant. 010 2SA 014 016 For the king will hear to deliver his servant out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God. 010 2SA 014 017 Then thine handmaid said, Let, I pray thee, the word of my lord the king be comfortable: for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: and the LORD thy God be with thee. 010 2SA 014 018 Then the king answered and said unto the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, aught 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 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 aught that my lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thine handmaid; 010 2SA 014 020 to change the face of the matter 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 in the earth. 010 2SA 014 021 And the king said unto 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 did obeisance, and blessed the king: end Joab said, Today thy servant knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath performed 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, but let him not see my face. So Absalom turned to his own house, and saw not the king’s face. 010 2SA 014 025 Now 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 polled his head, (now it was at every year’s end that he polled it: because [the hair] was heavy on him, therefore he polled it: ) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels, after the king’s weight. 010 2SA 014 027 And unto 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 And Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem; and he saw not the king’s face. 010 2SA 014 029 Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king; but he would not come to him: and he sent again a second time, but he would not come. 010 2SA 014 030 Therefore he said unto 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 unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire? 010 2SA 014 032 And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it were better for me to be there still: now therefore let me see the king’s face; and if there be 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 a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him. 010 2SA 015 002 And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel. 010 2SA 015 003 And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee. 010 2SA 015 004 Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice! 010 2SA 015 005 And it was so, that when any man came nigh to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took hold of him, and kissed him. 010 2SA 015 006 And on 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 at the end of forty years, that Absalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto 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 indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD. 010 2SA 015 009 And the king said unto 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 is king in Hebron. 010 2SA 015 011 And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that were invited, and 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 the 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 unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for else none of us shall escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring down evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword. 010 2SA 015 015 And the king’s servants said unto the king, Behold thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall choose. 010 2SA 015 016 And the king went forth, and all his household after him, And the king left ten women, which were concubines, to keep the house. 010 2SA 015 017 And the king went forth, and all the people after him; and they tarried in Beth-merhak. 010 2SA 015 018 And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men which came after him from Gath, passed on before the king. 010 2SA 015 019 Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return, and abide with the king: for thou art a stranger, and also an exile; [return] to thine own place. 010 2SA 015 020 Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us, seeing I go whither 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 for death or for 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 [came], and all the Levites 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 done passing out of the city. 010 2SA 015 025 And the king said unto 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 shew me both it, and his habitation: 010 2SA 015 026 but if he say thus, I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good unto him. 010 2SA 015 027 The king said also unto Zadok the priest, Art thou [not] 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 at the fords of the wilderness, until there come word from you to certify me. 010 2SA 015 029 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they abode there. 010 2SA 015 030 And David went up by the ascent of the [mount of] Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered, and went barefoot: and all the people that were with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up. 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 was come to the top [of the ascent], where God was worshipped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head: 010 2SA 015 033 And David said unto him, If thou passest on with me, then thou shalt be a burden unto me: 010 2SA 015 034 but if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father’s servant in time past, so will I now be thy servant: then shalt thou defeat for me 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 what thing soever 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 unto me every thing that ye shall 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 ascent], behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine. 010 2SA 016 002 And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses be 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 be faint in the wilderness may drink. 010 2SA 016 003 And the king said, And where is thy master’s son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, Today shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father. 010 2SA 016 004 Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine is all that pertaineth unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I do obeisance; let me find favour in thy sight, my lord, O king. 010 2SA 016 005 And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, there came out thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came out, and cursed still 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, Begone, begone, thou man of blood, and man of Belial: 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 thine own mischief, because thou art a man of blood. 010 2SA 016 009 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto 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? Because he curseth, and because the LORD hath said unto him, Curse David; who then shall say, Wherefore hast thou done so? 010 2SA 016 011 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more [may] this Benjamite now [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 the wrong done unto me, and that the LORD will requite me good for [his] cursing of me this day. 010 2SA 016 013 So David and his men went by the way: and Shimei went along on the hill side over against 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, came weary; and he refreshed himself 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, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto 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 unto Absalom, Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, 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 your counsel what we shall do. 010 2SA 016 021 And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father’s concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of 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 unto 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 inquired 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 unto 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 unto 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 was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto 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 unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given this time is not good. 010 2SA 017 008 Hushai said moreover, Thou knowest thy father and his men, that they be mighty men, and they be 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 be fallen at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom. 010 2SA 017 010 And even he 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 which be with him are valiant men. 010 2SA 017 011 But I counsel that all Israel be gathered together unto thee, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine 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 we will not leave so much as one. 010 2SA 017 013 Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there be 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 ordained 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 unto 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 at the fords of the wilderness, but in any wise 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 En-rogel; and a maidservant used to go and tell them; and they went and told king David: for they might not be seen to come into the city. 010 2SA 017 018 But a lad saw them, and told Absalom: and they went both of them away quickly, and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down thither. 010 2SA 017 019 And the woman took and spread the covering over the well’s mouth, and strewed bruised corn thereon; and nothing was known. 010 2SA 017 020 And Absalom’s servants came to the woman to the house; and they said, Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said unto them, They be 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 were departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David; and they said unto David, Arise ye, 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 lacked not one of them that was not gone over Jordan. 010 2SA 017 023 And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home, unto his city, and set his house in order, and hanged himself; and he 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 set Amasa over the host instead of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man, whose name was Ithra the Israelite, that went in to Abigal the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab’s mother. 010 2SA 017 026 And Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead. 010 2SA 017 027 And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim, 010 2SA 017 028 brought beds, and basons, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and parched [corn], and beans, and lentils, and parched [pulse], 010 2SA 017 029 and honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat: for they said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness. 010 2SA 018 001 And David numbered the people that were with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them. 010 2SA 018 002 And David sent forth the people, a third part 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 unto the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also. 010 2SA 018 003 But the people said, 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 thou art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that thou be ready to succour us out of the city. 010 2SA 018 004 And the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I will do. And the king stood by the gate side, and all the people went 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 And the people of Israel were smitten there before the servants of David, and there was a great slaughter there that day of twenty thousand men. 010 2SA 018 008 For the battle was there spread 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 chanced to meet the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon his mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went on. 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 unto the man that told him, And behold, thou sawest it, and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten [pieces of] silver, and a girdle. 010 2SA 018 012 And the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a thousand [pieces of] silver in mine hand, yet would I not put forth mine 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 if I had dealt falsely against his life, (and there is no matter hid from the king, ) then thou thyself wouldest have stood aloof. 010 2SA 018 014 Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three darts 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 bare Joab’s armour compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him. 010 2SA 018 016 And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel: for Joab held back the people. 010 2SA 018 017 And they took Absalom, and cast him into the great pit in the forest, and raised over him a very great heap of stones: and all Israel fled every one to his tent. 010 2SA 018 018 Now Absalom in his life time had taken and reared up for himself the 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 Absalom’s monument, unto this day. 010 2SA 018 019 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how that the LORD hath avenged him of his enemies. 010 2SA 018 020 And Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not be the bearer of 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 the Cushite, Go tell the king what thou hast seen. And the Cushite bowed himself unto Joab, and ran. 010 2SA 018 022 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But come what may, let me, I pray thee, also run after the Cushite. And Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou wilt have no reward for the tidings? 010 2SA 018 023 But come what may, [said he], I will run. And he said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the Plain, and overran the Cushite. 010 2SA 018 024 Now David sat between the two gates: and the watchman went up to the roof of the gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, a man running alone. 010 2SA 018 025 And the watchman cried, and told the king. And the king said, If he be 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 unto 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, Me thinketh 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 tidings. 010 2SA 018 028 And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, All is well. And he bowed himself before the king with his face to the earth, and said, Blessed be the LORD thy God, which hath delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king. 010 2SA 018 029 And the king said, Is it well with the young man Absalom? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king’s servant, even me thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what it was. 010 2SA 018 030 And the king said, Turn aside, and stand here. And he turned aside, and stood still. 010 2SA 018 031 And, behold, the Cushite came; and the Cushite said, Tidings for 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 unto the Cushite, Is it well with the young man Absalom? And the Cushite answered, The enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise up against thee to do thee hurt, 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! would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son! 010 2SA 019 001 And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom. 010 2SA 019 002 And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: for the people heard say that day, The king grieveth for his son. 010 2SA 019 003 And the people gat them by stealth that day into the city, as people that are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle. 010 2SA 019 004 And 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, which 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 them that hate thee, and hatest them that love thee. For thou hast declared this day, that princes and servants are nought unto thee: 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 comfortably unto thy servants: for I swear by the LORD, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry a man with thee this night: and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil that hath befallen thee from thy youth until now. 010 2SA 019 008 Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. And they told unto all the people, saying, Behold, the king doth sit in the gate: and all the people came before the king. Now 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 delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land from 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 unto 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, [to bring him] to his house. 010 2SA 019 012 Ye are my brethren, ye are my bone and my flesh: wherefore then are ye the last to bring back the king? 010 2SA 019 013 And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the room 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 unto the king, [saying], 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 bring the king over Jordan. 010 2SA 019 016 And Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, which 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 through Jordan in the presence of the king. 010 2SA 019 018 And there went over a ferry boat to bring over the king’s household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, when he was come over Jordan. 010 2SA 019 019 And he said unto the king, Let not my lord impute iniquity unto 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 am come this day the first 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 unto 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 And the king said unto Shimei, Thou shalt not die. And the king sware unto him. 010 2SA 019 024 And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king; and he had neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace. 010 2SA 019 025 And it came to pass, when he was come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore wentest not thou 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 an ass, that I may ride thereon, and go with the king; because thy servant is lame. 010 2SA 019 027 And he hath slandered thy servant unto my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God: do therefore what is good in thine eyes. 010 2SA 019 028 For all my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king: yet didst thou set thy servant among them that did eat at thine own table. What right therefore have I yet that I should cry any more unto the king? 010 2SA 019 029 And the king said unto him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I say, Thou and Ziba divide the land. 010 2SA 019 030 And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king is come in peace unto his own house: 010 2SA 019 031 And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim; and he went over Jordan with the king, to conduct him over Jordan. 010 2SA 019 032 Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even fourscore 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 unto Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and I will sustain thee with me in Jerusalem. 010 2SA 019 034 And Barzillai said unto the king, How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem? 010 2SA 019 035 I am this day fourscore years old: can I discern between good and bad? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king? 010 2SA 019 036 Thy servant would but just go over Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward? 010 2SA 019 037 Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, by the grave of my father and my mother. But behold, thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good unto 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 unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee. 010 2SA 019 039 And all the people went over Jordan, and the king went over: and the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned unto his own place. 010 2SA 019 040 So the king went over to Gilgal, and Chimham went over with him: and all the people of Judah brought the king over, and also half the people of Israel. 010 2SA 019 041 And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king; and said unto the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away, and brought the king, and his household, over Jordan, and all David’s men with him? 010 2SA 019 042 And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to us: wherefore then be ye angry for this matter? have we eaten at all of 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 man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew the trumpet, and said, We have no portion in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel. 010 2SA 020 002 So all the men of Israel went up from following David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah clave unto 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 ward, and provided them with sustenance, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death, living in widowhood. 010 2SA 020 004 Then said the king to Amasa, Call me the men of Judah together within three days, and be thou here present. 010 2SA 020 005 So Amasa went to call [the men of] Judah together: 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 after him, lest he get him fenced cities, and escape out of our sight. 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 came to meet them. And Joab was girded with his apparel of war that he had put on, and thereon was a girdle with a sword fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out. 010 2SA 020 009 And Joab said to Amasa, Is it well with thee, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his 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 therewith in the belly, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. And Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri. 010 2SA 020 011 And there stood by him one of Joab’s young men, and said, He that favoureth Joab, and he that is for David, let him follow Joab. 010 2SA 020 012 And Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he carried Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a garment over 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 unto Abel, and to Beth-maacah, 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 Beth-maacah, and they cast up a mount against the city, and it stood against the rampart: 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, unto Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee. 010 2SA 020 017 And he came near unto her, and the woman said, Art thou Joab? And he answered, I am. Then she said unto him, Hear the words of thine handmaid. And he answered, I do hear. 010 2SA 020 018 Then she spake, saying, they were wont 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 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 the hill country of 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 unto Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall. 010 2SA 020 022 Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. And he blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem unto 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 tribute: and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder: 010 2SA 020 025 and Sheva was scribe: and Zadok and Abiathar were priests: 010 2SA 020 026 and Ira also the Jairite was priest unto David. 010 2SA 021 001 And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the LORD. And the LORD said, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put to death the Gibeonites. 010 2SA 021 002 And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto 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 unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah: ) 010 2SA 021 003 and David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the LORD? 010 2SA 021 004 And the Gibeonites said unto him, It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul, or his house; neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I do for you. 010 2SA 021 005 And they said unto the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us, [that] we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel, 010 2SA 021 006 let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the LORD; 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 bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she bare to 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 in the mountain before the LORD, and they fell [all] seven together: and they were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at 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 water was poured upon them from heaven; and she suffered 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 Jabesh-gilead, which had stolen them from the street of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, in the day that the Philistines slew Saul in Gilboa: 010 2SA 021 013 and he brought up from thence 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 they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, 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 And the Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David waxed faint. 010 2SA 021 016 and Ishbi-benob, which 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 to have slain David. 010 2SA 021 017 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the lamp of Israel. 010 2SA 021 018 And it came to pass after this, that there was again war with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was of the sons of the giant. 010 2SA 021 019 And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Beth-lehemite slew Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. 010 2SA 021 020 And there was again war at 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 Shimei David’s brother slew him. 010 2SA 021 022 These four were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants. 010 2SA 022 001 And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul: 010 2SA 022 002 and he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine; 010 2SA 022 003 The God of my rock, in him will I trust; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; my saviour, thou savest me from violence. 010 2SA 022 004 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. 010 2SA 022 005 For the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodliness made me afraid. 010 2SA 022 006 The cords of Sheol were round about me: the snares of death came upon me. (Sheol h7585) 010 2SA 022 007 In my distress I called upon the LORD, yea, I called unto my God: and he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry [came] into his ears. 010 2SA 022 008 Then the earth shook and trembled, the foundations of heaven moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. 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 thick darkness was under his feet. 010 2SA 022 011 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he was seen upon the wings of the wind. 010 2SA 022 012 And he made darkness pavilions round about him, gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies. 010 2SA 022 013 At the brightness before him coals of fire were 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 discomfited them. 010 2SA 022 016 Then the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were laid bare, by the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils. 010 2SA 022 017 He sent from on high, 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 mighty for me. 010 2SA 022 019 They came upon me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay. 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 perfect toward him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity. 010 2SA 022 025 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eyesight. 010 2SA 022 026 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, with the perfect man thou wilt shew thyself perfect; 010 2SA 022 027 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou wilt shew thyself froward. 010 2SA 022 028 And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine 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 run upon a troop: by my God do I leap 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 unto all them that trust in him. 010 2SA 022 032 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God? 010 2SA 022 033 God is my strong fortress: and he guideth the perfect in his way. 010 2SA 022 034 He maketh his feet like hinds’ [feet]: and setteth me upon my high places. 010 2SA 022 035 He teacheth my hands to war; so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass. 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, and my feet have not slipped. 010 2SA 022 038 I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; neither did I turn again till they were consumed. 010 2SA 022 039 And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, that they cannot arise; yea, they are fallen under my feet. 010 2SA 022 040 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. 010 2SA 022 041 Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, that I might cut off them that hate me. 010 2SA 022 042 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not. 010 2SA 022 043 Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the streets, and did spread them abroad. 010 2SA 022 044 Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people; thou hast kept me to be the head of the nations: a people whom I have not known shall serve me. 010 2SA 022 045 The strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me. 010 2SA 022 046 The strangers shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their close places. 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 Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and bringeth down peoples under me, 010 2SA 022 049 And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me: thou deliverest me from the violent man. 010 2SA 022 050 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto thy name. 010 2SA 022 051 Great deliverance giveth he to his king: and sheweth lovingkindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore. 010 2SA 023 001 Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse saith, and the man who was raised on high saith, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel: 010 2SA 023 002 The spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was upon my tongue. 010 2SA 023 003 The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me: One that ruleth over men righteously, that ruleth in the fear of God, 010 2SA 023 004 [He shall be] as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, a morning without clouds; [when] the tender grass [springeth] out of the earth, through clear shining after rain. 010 2SA 023 005 Verily my house is not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for it is all my salvation, and all [my] desire, although he maketh it not to grow. 010 2SA 023 006 But the ungodly shall be all of them as thorns to be thrust away, for they cannot be taken with the hand: 010 2SA 023 007 But the man that toucheth them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in [their] place. 010 2SA 023 008 These be the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite, against eight hundred slain at one time. 010 2SA 023 009 And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodai the son of an 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 were gone away: 010 2SA 023 010 He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword: and the LORD wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil. 010 2SA 023 011 And after him was Shammah the son of Agce a Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines. 010 2SA 023 012 But he stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory. 010 2SA 023 013 And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philistines were encamped in the valley of Rephaim. 010 2SA 023 014 And David was then in the hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Beth-lehem. 010 2SA 023 015 And David longed and said, Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Beth-lehem which is by the gate! 010 2SA 023 016 And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the LORD. 010 2SA 023 017 And he said, Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this: [shall I drink] the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men. 010 2SA 023 018 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred and slew them, and had a name among the three. 010 2SA 023 019 Was he not most honourable of the three? therefore he was made their captain: howbeit he attained not unto the [first] three. 010 2SA 023 020 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, he slew the two [sons of] Ariel 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 goodly 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 the 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 Beth-lehem; 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 Anathothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite; 010 2SA 023 028 Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite; 010 2SA 023 029 Heleb the son of Baanah the Netophathite, Ittai the son of Ribai of Gibeah of the children of Benjamin; 010 2SA 023 030 Benaiah a Pirathonite, Hiddai of the brooks of Gaash; 010 2SA 023 031 Abi-albon the Arbathite, Azmaveth the Barhumite; 010 2SA 023 032 Eliahba the Shaalbonite, the sons of Jashen, Jonathan; 010 2SA 023 033 Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam the son of Sharar the Ararite; 010 2SA 023 034 Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai, the son of the Maacathite, Eliam the son of Ahithophel the Gilonite; 010 2SA 023 035 Hezro 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, armourbearers to Joab the son of Zeruiah; 010 2SA 023 038 Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the 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, saying, Go, number Israel and Judah. 010 2SA 024 002 And the king said to Joab the captain of the host, which was with him, Go now to and fro through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the sum of the people. 010 2SA 024 003 And Joab said unto the king, Now the LORD thy God add unto the people, how many soever they be, an hundredfold, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing? 010 2SA 024 004 Notwithstanding 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 pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the middle of the valley of Gad, and unto Jazer. 010 2SA 024 006 then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi; and they came to Dan-jaan, and round 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, at Beer-sheba. 010 2SA 024 008 So when they had gone to and fro through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days. 010 2SA 024 009 And Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people unto 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 unto the LORD, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: but now, O LORD, put away, I beseech thee, the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly. 010 2SA 024 011 And when David rose up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying, 010 2SA 024 012 Go and speak unto David, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee. 010 2SA 024 013 So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thy foes while they pursue thee? or shall there be three days pestilence in thy land? now advise thee, and consider what answer I shall return to him that sent me. 010 2SA 024 014 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: 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 Beer-sheba seventy thousand men. 010 2SA 024 016 And when the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough; now stay thine hand. And the angel of the LORD was by the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite. 010 2SA 024 017 And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done perversely: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine 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 unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite. 010 2SA 024 019 And David went up according to the saying of Gad, as the LORD commanded. 010 2SA 024 020 And Araunah looked forth, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him: and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground. 010 2SA 024 021 And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshing-floor of thee, to build an altar unto the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people. 010 2SA 024 022 And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him: behold, the oxen for the burnt offering, and the threshing instruments and the furniture of the oxen for the wood: 010 2SA 024 023 all this, O king, doth Araunah give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The LORD thy God accept thee. 010 2SA 024 024 And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will verily buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God which cost me nothing. So David bought the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. 010 2SA 024 025 And David built there an altar unto 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 stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat. 011 1KI 001 002 Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and cherish him; and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat. 011 1KI 001 003 So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king. 011 1KI 001 004 And the damsel was very fair; and she 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 was also a very goodly man; and he was born 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 which belonged to David, were not with Adonijah. 011 1KI 001 009 And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En-rogel; and he called 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 Then Nathan spake unto Bath-sheba 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 thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon. 011 1KI 001 013 Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine 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 yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words. 011 1KI 001 015 And Bath-sheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king. 011 1KI 001 016 And Bath-sheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou? 011 1KI 001 017 And she said unto him, My lord, thou swarest by the LORD thy God unto thine handmaid, [saying], Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shah sit upon my throne. 011 1KI 001 018 And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and thou, my lord the king, knowest it not: 011 1KI 001 019 and he hath slain oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host: but Solomon thy servant hath he not called. 011 1KI 001 020 And thou, my lord the 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 yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet came in. 011 1KI 001 023 And they told the king, saying, Behold, Nathan the prophet. And when he was 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 is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and hath called 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 called. 011 1KI 001 027 Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shewed unto thy servants 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 Bath-sheba. And she came into the king’s presence, and stood before the king. 011 1KI 001 029 And the king sware, and said, As the LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity, 011 1KI 001 030 verily as I sware unto thee by the LORD, the God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; verily so will I do this day: 011 1KI 001 031 Then Bath-sheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did obeisance 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 And the king, said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine 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, and he shall come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him to be prince over Israel and over Judah. 011 1KI 001 036 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD, the 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 be he 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 the horn of oil out of the Tent, 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 rent with the sound of them. 011 1KI 001 041 And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, Wherefore is this noise of the city being in an uproar? 011 1KI 001 042 While he yet spake, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonijah said, Come in; for thou art a worthy 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 are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again. 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, Thy 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, the God of Israel, which hath given one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it. 011 1KI 001 049 And all the guests of Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way. 011 1KI 001 050 And Adonijah feared because of Solomon; and he 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 laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me this day that he wilt not slay his servant with the sword. 011 1KI 001 052 And Solomon said, If he shall shew himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness 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 did obeisance to king Solomon: and Solomon said unto him, Go to thine house. 011 1KI 002 001 Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying, 011 1KI 002 002 I go the way of all the earth: he thou strong therefore, and shew 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, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself: 011 1KI 002 004 That the LORD may establish his word which he spake 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 unto me, even what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle 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 hoar head go down to the grave in peace. (Sheol h7585) 011 1KI 002 007 But shew kindness unto 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 from Absalom thy brother. 011 1KI 002 008 And, behold, there is with thee Shimei the son of Gera, the 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 sware 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 thou wilt know what thou oughtest to do unto him, and thou shalt bring his hoar head down to the grave with blood. (Sheol h7585) 011 1KI 002 010 And 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 And Solomon sat upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly. 011 1KI 002 013 Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath-sheba 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 unto 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: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is 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 unto him, Say on. 011 1KI 002 017 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say thee nay, ) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife. 011 1KI 002 018 And Bath-sheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king. 011 1KI 002 019 Bath-sheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the king’s mother; and she sat on his right hand. 011 1KI 002 020 Then she said, I ask one small petition of thee; deny me not. And the king said unto 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 to wife. 011 1KI 002 022 And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah. 011 1KI 002 023 Then king Solomon sware by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have 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, surely 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 unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because thou wast afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted. 011 1KI 002 027 So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto the LORD; that he might fulfill the word of the LORD, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh. 011 1KI 002 028 And the tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the Tent of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar. 011 1KI 002 029 And it was told king Solomon, Joab is fled unto the Tent 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 Tent of the LORD, and said unto 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 unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father’s house. 011 1KI 002 032 And the LORD shall return his blood upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, and my father David knew it not, [to wit], 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 So shall their blood return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but unto David, and unto his seed, and unto his house, and unto his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD. 011 1KI 002 034 Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, 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 room over the host: and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar. 011 1KI 002 036 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither. 011 1KI 002 037 For on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, know thou for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head. 011 1KI 002 038 And Shimei said unto 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 unto Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying; Behold, thy servants be in Gath. 011 1KI 002 040 And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, 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 Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again. 011 1KI 002 042 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not make thee to swear by the LORD, and protested unto thee, saying, Know for certain, that on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The saying 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 thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore the LORD shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head. 011 1KI 002 045 But 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; and he 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 made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh’s daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall of Jerusalem round about. 011 1KI 003 002 Only the people sacrificed in the high places, because there was no house built for 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 the 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 shewed unto thy servant David my father great kindness, 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 thy servant therefore an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this thy great people? 011 1KI 003 010 And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. 011 1KI 003 011 And God said unto 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 thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; 011 1KI 003 012 behold, I have done according to thy word: 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 unto 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 unto 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, unto the king, and stood before him. 011 1KI 003 017 And the one woman said, Oh 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, save we two in the house. 011 1KI 003 019 And this woman’s child died in the night; because she overlaid it. 011 1KI 003 020 And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom. 011 1KI 003 021 And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear. 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 spake 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, Fetch 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 spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, Oh my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, It shall be neither mine nor thine; divide it. 011 1KI 003 027 Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof. 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 And 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 Ahijah, 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 host; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests; 011 1KI 004 005 and Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers; and Zabud the son of Nathan was priest, [and] the king’s friend; 011 1KI 004 006 and Ahishar was over the household; and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the levy. 011 1KI 004 007 And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, which provided victuals for the king and his household: each man had to make provision for a month in the year: 011 1KI 004 008 And these are their names: Ben-hur, in the hill country of Ephraim: 011 1KI 004 009 Ben-deker, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Beth-shemesh, and Elon-beth-hanan: 011 1KI 004 010 Ben-hesed, in Arubboth; to him [pertained] Socoh, and all the land of Hepher: 011 1KI 004 011 Ben-abinadab, in all the height of Dor; he had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife: 011 1KI 004 012 Baana the son of Ahilud, in Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean which is beside Zarethan, beneath Jezreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah, as far as beyond Jokmeam: 011 1KI 004 013 Ben-geber, in Ramoth-gilead; to him [pertained] the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead; [even] to him [pertained] the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, threescore great cities with walls and brasen bars: 011 1KI 004 014 Ahinadab the son of Iddo, in Mahanaim: 011 1KI 004 015 Ahimaaz, in Naphtali; he also took Basemath the daughter of Solomon to wife: 011 1KI 004 016 Baana the son of Hushai, in Asher and Bealoth: 011 1KI 004 017 Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar: 011 1KI 004 018 Shimei the son of Ela, in Benjamin: 011 1KI 004 019 Geber the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, the country of Sihon king of the Amorites and of Og king of Bashan; and [he was] the only officer which 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 ruled over all the kingdoms from the River unto the land of the Philistines, and unto 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 threescore measures of meal; 011 1KI 004 023 ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an hundred sheep, beside harts, and gazelles, and roebucks, and fatted fowl. 011 1KI 004 024 For he had dominion over all [the region] on this side the River, from Tipsah even to Gaza, over all the kings on this side the River: and he had peace on all sides round about 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 Beer-sheba, 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 victual for king Solomon, and for all that came unto king Solomon’s table, every man in his month: they let nothing be lacking. 011 1KI 004 028 Barley also and straw for the horses and swift steeds brought they unto the place where [the officers] were, every man according to his charge. 011 1KI 004 029 And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, 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, and all the wisdom of Egypt. 011 1KI 004 031 For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all the nations round about. 011 1KI 004 032 And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five. 011 1KI 004 033 And he spake of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes. 011 1KI 004 034 And there came of all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom. 011 1KI 005 001 And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room 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 for 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; there is neither adversary, nor evil occurrent. 011 1KI 005 005 And, behold, I purpose to build an house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build the house for 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 I will give thee hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt say: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the Zidonians. 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, which hath given unto David a wise son over this great people. 011 1KI 005 008 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have heard [the message] which thou hast sent unto me: I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir. 011 1KI 005 009 My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea: and I will make them into rafts to go by sea unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household. 011 1KI 005 010 So Hirah gave Solomon timber of cedar and timber of fir 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 a levy 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 levy. 011 1KI 005 015 And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand that were hewers in the mountains; 011 1KI 005 016 besides Solomon’s chief officers that were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, which bare rule over the people that wrought in the work. 011 1KI 005 017 And the king commanded, and they hewed out great stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with wrought stone. 011 1KI 005 018 And Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders and the Gebalites did fashion them, and prepared the timber and the 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 were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, 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 thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty [cubits], and the height thereof thirty cubits. 011 1KI 006 003 And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; [and] ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house. 011 1KI 006 004 And for the house he made windows of fixed lattice-work. 011 1KI 006 005 And against the wall of the house he built stories round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle: and he made side-chambers round about: 011 1KI 006 006 The nethermost story was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for on the outside he made rebatements [in the wall] of the house round about, that [the beams] should not have hold in the walls of the house. 011 1KI 006 007 And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready at the quarry: and 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 side-chambers was in the right side of the house: and they went up by winding stairs into the middle [chambers], and out of the middle into the third. 011 1KI 006 009 So he built the house, and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar. 011 1KI 006 010 And he built the stories against all the house, each 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 establish my word with thee, which I spake unto 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 of the house within with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house unto the walls of the cieling, he covered them on the inside with wood: and he covered the floor of the house with boards of fir. 011 1KI 006 016 And he built twenty cubits on the hinder part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor unto the walls: he even built [them] for it within, for an oracle, even for the most holy place. 011 1KI 006 017 And the house, that is, the temple before [the oracle], was forty cubits [long]. 011 1KI 006 018 And there was cedar on the house within, carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen. 011 1KI 006 019 And he prepared an oracle in the midst of the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD. 011 1KI 006 020 And within the oracle was [a space of] twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof; and he overlaid it with pure gold: and he covered the altar with cedar. 011 1KI 006 021 So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he drew chains of gold across before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold. 011 1KI 006 022 And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until all the house was finished: also the whole altar that belonged to the oracle he overlaid with gold. 011 1KI 006 023 And in the oracle he made two cherubim of olive wood, 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 uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost 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 form. 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 the wings of the cherubim were stretched forth, 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 of the house round about 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 entering of the oracle he made doors of olive wood: the lintel [and] door posts were a fifth part [of the wall]. 011 1KI 006 032 So [he made] two doors of olive wood; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread the gold upon the cherubim, and upon the palm trees. 011 1KI 006 033 So also made he for the entering of the temple door posts of olive wood, out of a fourth part [of the wall]; 011 1KI 006 034 and two doors of fir wood; 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 [thereon] cherubim and palm trees and open flowers: and he overlaid them with gold fitted upon the graven 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 Ziv. 011 1KI 006 038 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it. 011 1KI 007 001 And Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house. 011 1KI 007 002 For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof 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 over the forty and five beams, that were upon the pillars; fifteen in a row. 011 1KI 007 004 And there were prospects in three rows, and light was over against light in three ranks. 011 1KI 007 005 And all the doors and posts were square in prospect: and light was over against light in three ranks. 011 1KI 007 006 And he made the porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits; and a porch before them; and pillars and thick beams before them. 011 1KI 007 007 And he made the porch of the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor. 011 1KI 007 008 And his house where he might dwell, the other court within the porch, was of the like work. He made also an house for Pharaoh’s daughter, (whom Solomon had taken to wife, ) like unto this porch. 011 1KI 007 009 All these were of costly stones, even of hewn stone, according to measure, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside unto 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, even hewn stone, according to measure, and cedar wood. 011 1KI 007 012 And the great court round about had three rows of hewn stone, and a row of cedar beams; like as the inner court of the house of the LORD, and the porch of the house. 011 1KI 007 013 And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre. 011 1KI 007 014 He was the son of a widow woman 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 cunning, to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work. 011 1KI 007 015 For he fashioned the two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits compassed either of them about. 011 1KI 007 016 And he made two chapiters of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits. 011 1KI 007 017 There were nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter. 011 1KI 007 018 So he made the pillars; and there were two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars: and so did he for the other chapiter. 011 1KI 007 019 And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily work, four cubits. 011 1KI 007 020 And there were chapiters above also upon the two pillars, close by the belly which was beside the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows round about upon the other chapiter. 011 1KI 007 021 And he set up the pillars at the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof 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 the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and the height thereof was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about. 011 1KI 007 024 And under the brim of it round about there were knops which did compass it, for ten cubits, compassing the sea round about: the knops were in two rows, cast 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 upon them above, and all their hinder parts were inward. 011 1KI 007 026 And it was an handbreadth thick; and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it held two thousand baths. 011 1KI 007 027 And he made the ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it. 011 1KI 007 028 And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders; and there were borders between the ledges: 011 1KI 007 029 and on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the ledges there was a pedestal above: and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work. 011 1KI 007 030 And every base had four brasen wheels, and axles of brass: and the four feet thereof had undersetters: beneath the laver were the undersetters molten, with wreaths at the side of each. 011 1KI 007 031 And the mouth of it within the chapiter and above was a cubit: and the mouth thereof was round after the work of a pedestal, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it were gravings, and their borders were foursquare, not round. 011 1KI 007 032 And the four wheels were underneath the borders; and the axletrees of the wheels were in 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 axletrees, and their felloes, and their spokes, and their naves, were all molten. 011 1KI 007 034 And there were four undersetters at the four corners of each base: the undersetters thereof were of the base itself. 011 1KI 007 035 And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the stays thereof and the borders thereof were of the same. 011 1KI 007 036 And on the plates of the stays thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubim, lions, and palm tress, according to the space of each, with wreaths round about. 011 1KI 007 037 After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form. 011 1KI 007 038 And 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 set the bases, five 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 basons. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he wrought for king Solomon in the house of the LORD: 011 1KI 007 041 the two pillars, and the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the pillars; 011 1KI 007 042 and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were upon the pillars; 011 1KI 007 043 and the ten bases, and the ten lavers on the bases; 011 1KI 007 044 and the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea; 011 1KI 007 045 and the pots, and the shovels, and the basons: even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of the LORD, were of burnished brass. 011 1KI 007 046 In the Plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan. 011 1KI 007 047 And Solomon left all the vessels [unweighed], because they were exceeding many: the weight of the brass could not be found out. 011 1KI 007 048 And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of the LORD: the golden altar, and the table whereupon the shewbread was, of gold; 011 1KI 007 049 and the candlesticks, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, of pure gold; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold; 011 1KI 007 050 and the cups, and the snuffers, and basons, and the spoons, and the firepans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, [to wit], of the temple, of gold. 011 1KI 007 051 Thus all the work that king Solomon wrought in the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated, [even] the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, and put them in the treasuries 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 princes of the fathers’ [houses] of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up 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 unto 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 up the ark of the LORD, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; even these did the priests and the Levites bring up. 011 1KI 008 005 And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude. 011 1KI 008 006 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto its place, into the oracle 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 wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above. 011 1KI 008 008 And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves were seen from the holy place before the oracle; but they were not seen without: and there they are, unto this day. 011 1KI 008 009 There was nothing in the ark save 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 were 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 by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD. 011 1KI 008 012 Then spake Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness. 011 1KI 008 013 I have surely built thee an house of habitation, a place for thee to dwell 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 stood. 011 1KI 008 015 And he said, Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto 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 out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be there; but I chose David to be over my people Israel. 011 1KI 008 017 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel. 011 1KI 008 018 But the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well that it was in thine 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 for my name. 011 1KI 008 020 And the LORD hath established his word that he spake; for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel. 011 1KI 008 021 And there have I set a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of 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, O LORD, the 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: yea, thou spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day. 011 1KI 008 025 Now therefore, O LORD, the 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 on the throne of Israel; if only thy children take heed to their way to walk before me as thou hast walked before me. 011 1KI 008 026 Now therefore, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father. 011 1KI 008 027 But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded! 011 1KI 008 028 Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee this day: 011 1KI 008 029 that thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place whereof thou hast said, My name shall be there: to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall pray 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: yea, hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place; and when thou hearest, forgive. 011 1KI 008 031 If a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and he come [and] swear before thine 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 own head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness. 011 1KI 008 033 When thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; if they turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication unto 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 unto the land which thou gavest unto 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 dost afflict them: 011 1KI 008 036 then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teachest them the good way wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance. 011 1KI 008 037 If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting [or] mildew, locust [or] caterpiller; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be; 011 1KI 008 038 what prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, [or] by all thy people Israel, which 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 render unto every man according to all 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 unto our fathers. 011 1KI 008 041 Moreover concerning the stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come 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 mighty hand, and of thy stretched out 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 the peoples of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as doth 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, by whatsoever way thou shalt send them, and they pray unto the LORD toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which 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 sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not, ) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive unto the land of the enemy, far off or near; 011 1KI 008 047 yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captive, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have dealt wickedly; 011 1KI 008 048 if they return unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies, which carried them captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto 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 which have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee; and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them: 011 1KI 008 051 For they be thy people, and thine inheritance which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron: 011 1KI 008 052 that thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them whensoever they cry unto thee. 011 1KI 008 053 For thou didst separate them from among all the peoples of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest 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 made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth toward 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 unto 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 unto 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, wherewith I have made supplication before the LORD, be nigh unto the LORD our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel, as every day shall require: 011 1KI 008 060 that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD, he is God; 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 for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered unto 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 hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brasen altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings. 011 1KI 008 065 So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the brook 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 unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had shewed unto David his servant, and to 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 do, 011 1KI 009 002 that the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon. 011 1KI 009 003 And the LORD said unto 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 mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually. 011 1KI 009 004 And as for thee, 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 over Israel for ever; according 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 turn away from following me, ye or your children and not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but shall go and serve other gods, and worship them: 011 1KI 009 007 then will I cut off Israel out of 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 peoples: 011 1KI 009 008 And though this house be so high, yet shall every one that passeth by be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and to this house? 011 1KI 009 009 and they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, which brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the LORD brought all this evil upon them. 011 1KI 009 010 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein 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, unto this day. 011 1KI 009 014 And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold. 011 1KI 009 015 And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised; for 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 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 portion unto his daughter, Solomon’s wife. 011 1KI 009 017 Solomon built Gezer, and Beth-horon the nether, 011 1KI 009 018 and Baalath, and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land, 011 1KI 009 019 and all the store cities that Solomon had, and the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion. 011 1KI 009 020 As for all the people that were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which 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 were not able utterly to destroy, of them did Solomon raise a levy of bondservants, unto this day. 011 1KI 009 022 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondservants: but they were the men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen. 011 1KI 009 023 These were the chief officers that were over Solomon’s work, five hundred and fifty, which bare rule over the people that wrought in the work. 011 1KI 009 024 But Pharaoh’s daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house which [Solomon] had built for her: then did he build 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 unto the LORD, burning incense therewith, [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 Ezion-geber, 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, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon. 011 1KI 009 028 And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence 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 prove him with hard questions. 011 1KI 010 002 And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart. 011 1KI 010 003 And Solomon told her 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 the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built, 011 1KI 010 005 and the meat 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 unto 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 mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom. 011 1KI 010 007 Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard. 011 1KI 010 008 Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, [and] that hear thy wisdom. 011 1KI 010 009 Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made he 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 very great store, 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 the singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen, unto this day. 011 1KI 010 013 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants. 011 1KI 010 014 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold, 011 1KI 010 015 beside [that which] the chapmen [brought], and the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of the mingled people, and of the governors of the country. 011 1KI 010 016 And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred [shekels] of gold went to one target. 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 finest gold. 011 1KI 010 019 There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were stays on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the stays. 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 nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon. 011 1KI 010 022 For the king had at sea a navy of Tarshish with the navy of Hiram: once every three years came the navy of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks. 011 1KI 010 023 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom. 011 1KI 010 024 And all the earth sought the presence of 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 raiment, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year. 011 1KI 010 026 And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. 011 1KI 010 027 And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance. 011 1KI 010 028 And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; and the king’s merchants received them in droves, each drove 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 Now king Solomon loved many strange women, together with 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 unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go among them, neither shall they come among you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto 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 that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father. 011 1KI 011 007 Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, in the mount that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon. 011 1KI 011 008 And so did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods. 011 1KI 011 009 And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, which had appeared unto 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 Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant. 011 1KI 011 012 Notwithstanding 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 Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but I 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 raised up an adversary unto 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 was gone up to bury the slain, and had smitten every male in Edom; 011 1KI 011 016 (for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, 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 out of Paran, and they came to Egypt unto Pharaoh king of Egypt; which gave him an house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land. 011 1KI 011 019 And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen, 011 1KI 011 020 And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’s house: and Genubath was in Pharaoh’s house 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 mine own country. 011 1KI 011 022 Then Pharaoh said unto him, But what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thine own country? And he answered, Nothing: howbeit let me depart in any wise. 011 1KI 011 023 And God raised up [another] adversary unto him, Rezon the son of Eliada, which had fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah: 011 1KI 011 024 And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a troop, when David slew them [of Zobah]: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus. 011 1KI 011 025 And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, beside the mischief that Hadad [did]: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria. 011 1KI 011 026 And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow woman, he also lifted up his hand against the king. 011 1KI 011 027 And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breach of the city of David his father. 011 1KI 011 028 And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour: and Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he gave him charge over all the labour 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; now [Ahijah] had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field. 011 1KI 011 030 And Ahijah laid hold of the new garment that was on him, and rent 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 out of 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 that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon; and they have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and [to keep] my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father. 011 1KI 011 034 Howbeit 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 unto thee, even ten tribes. 011 1KI 011 036 And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a lamp alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen 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 unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that which is right in mine eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and will build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee. 011 1KI 011 039 And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for over. 011 1KI 011 040 Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam: but Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon. 011 1KI 011 041 Now 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 were come to Shechem to make him king. 011 1KI 012 002 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it, (for he was yet in Egypt, wither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt, 011 1KI 012 003 and they sent and called him; ) that Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto 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 unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed. 011 1KI 012 006 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? 011 1KI 012 007 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto 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 took counsel with the young men that were grown up with him, that stood before him. 011 1KI 012 009 And he said unto them, What counsel give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke that thy father did put upon us lighter? 011 1KI 012 010 And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou say unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou speak unto them, My little finger is thicker than my father’s loins. 011 1KI 012 011 And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father 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 bade, saying, Come to me again the third day. 011 1KI 012 013 And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him; 011 1KI 012 014 and spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions; 011 1KI 012 015 So the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was a thing brought about of the LORD, that he might establish his word, which the LORD spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 011 1KI 012 016 And when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto 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 thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents. 011 1KI 012 017 But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. 011 1KI 012 018 Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the levy; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. And king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem. 011 1KI 012 019 So Israel rebelled against the house of David, unto this day. 011 1KI 012 020 And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was returned, that they sent and called him unto 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 was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, and the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which 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 unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying, 011 1KI 012 023 Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest 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 of me. So they hearkened unto the word of the LORD, and returned and went their way, according to the word of the LORD. 011 1KI 012 025 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and he went out from thence, 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 sacrifices in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah; and they shall kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah. 011 1KI 012 028 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem; behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 011 1KI 012 029 And he set the one in Beth-el, and the other put he in Dan. 011 1KI 012 030 And this thing became a sin: for the people went [to worship] before the one, even unto Dan. 011 1KI 012 031 And he made houses of high places, and made priests from among all the people, which 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 unto the feast that is in Judah, and he went up unto the altar; so did he in Beth-el, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Beth-el the priests of the high places which he had made. 011 1KI 012 033 And he went up unto the altar which he had made in Beth-el on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart: and he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and went up unto the altar, to burn incense. 011 1KI 013 001 And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD unto Beth-el: and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense. 011 1KI 013 002 And he cried against the altar by the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD: Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he sacrifice the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men’s bones shall they burn 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 rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out. 011 1KI 013 004 And it came to pass, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Beth-el, that Jeroboam 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 back again to him. 011 1KI 013 005 The altar also was rent, 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 unto the man of God, Entreat now the favour of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God entreated the LORD, and the king’s hand was restored him again, and became as it was before. 011 1KI 013 007 And the king said unto 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 unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine 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, Thou shalt eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that thou camest. 011 1KI 013 010 So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Beth-el. 011 1KI 013 011 Now there dwelt an old prophet in Beth-el; and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Beth-el: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them also they told unto their father. 011 1KI 013 012 And their father said unto them, What way went he? Now his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah. 011 1KI 013 013 And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon. 011 1KI 013 014 And he went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am. 011 1KI 013 015 Then he said unto 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 And he said unto him, I also am a prophet as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. [But] he lied unto him. 011 1KI 013 019 So he went back with him, and did eat 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 unto the prophet that brought him back: 011 1KI 013 021 and he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast been disobedient unto the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee, 011 1KI 013 022 but camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place of the which he said to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto 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 ass, [to wit], for the prophet whom he had brought back. 011 1KI 013 024 And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it; the lion also stood by the carcase. 011 1KI 013 025 And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcase: 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 thereof, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the mouth of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake unto him. 011 1KI 013 027 And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled it. 011 1KI 013 028 And he went and found his carcase cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcase: the lion had not eaten the carcase, nor torn the ass. 011 1KI 013 029 And the prophet took up the carcase of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and he came to the city of the old prophet, to mourn, and to bury him. 011 1KI 013 030 And he laid his carcase 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 spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein 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 Beth-el, 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 from among all the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, that there might be priests of the high places. 011 1KI 013 034 And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off 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 be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam: and get thee to Shiloh; behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, which spake concerning me that I should be king over this people. 011 1KI 014 003 And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, 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. Now Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age. 011 1KI 014 005 And the LORD said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to inquire of thee concerning her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign herself 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 feignest thou thyself to be another? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings. 011 1KI 014 007 Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the LORD, the 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 rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it 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 mine eyes; 011 1KI 014 009 but hast done evil above all that were before thee, and 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 every man child, him that is shut up and him that is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweepeth away dung, till it be 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, get thee to thine 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, the 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. n 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 Asherim, provoking the LORD to anger. 011 1KI 014 016 And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he hath sinned, and wherewith he hath made Israel to sin. 011 1KI 014 017 And Jeroboam’s wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah: [and] as she came to the threshold of the house, the child died. 011 1KI 014 018 And all Israel buried him, and mourned for him; according to the word of the LORD, which he spake 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 had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess. 011 1KI 014 022 And Judah did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, above all that their fathers had done. 011 1KI 014 023 For they also built them high places, and pillars, and Asherim, on every high hill, and under every green tree; 011 1KI 014 024 and there were also sodomites in the land: they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD drave 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 shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, which kept the door of the king’s house. 011 1KI 014 028 And it was so, that as oft as the king went into the house of the LORD, the guard bare 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 continually. 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 the 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 began Abijam to reign over Judah. 011 1KI 015 002 Three years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Maacah 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 did the LORD his God give 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, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. 011 1KI 015 006 Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life. 011 1KI 015 007 And 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 began Asa to reign over Judah. 011 1KI 015 010 And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Maacah 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 put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. 011 1KI 015 013 And also Maacah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and burnt it at the brook Kidron. 011 1KI 015 014 But the high places were not taken away: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the LORD all his days. 011 1KI 015 015 And he brought into the house of the LORD the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that himself had dedicated, 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 suffer 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 treasures 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 Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying, 011 1KI 015 019 [There is] a league between me and thee, between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me. 011 1KI 015 020 And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-beth-maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali. 011 1KI 015 021 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah. 011 1KI 015 022 Then king Asa made a proclamation unto all Judah; none was exempted: and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built therewith Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah. 011 1KI 015 023 Now 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? But 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 he reigned over Israel two years. 011 1KI 015 026 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith 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 were laying 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 that, as soon as he was king, he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him; according unto the saying of the LORD, which he spake by the hand of his servant Ahijah the Shilonite: 011 1KI 015 030 for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and wherewith he made Israel to sin; because of his provocation wherewith he provoked the LORD, the 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 hook 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, [and reigned] twenty and four years. 011 1KI 015 034 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin. 011 1KI 016 001 And the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying, 011 1KI 016 002 Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of 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 utterly sweep away Baasha and his house; and I 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 field 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 And Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah; and Elah his son reigned in his stead. 011 1KI 016 007 And moreover by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of the LORD against Baasha, and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he smote 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, [and reigned] two years. 011 1KI 016 009 And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him: now he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, which was over the household 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 smote all the house of Baasha: he left him not a single man child, neither of his kinsfolks, 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 spake against Baasha by Jehu the prophet, 011 1KI 016 013 for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned, and wherewith they made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD, the 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. Now the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines. 011 1KI 016 016 And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also smitten the king: wherefore 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 castle 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 that which was 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, [and reigned] 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 he built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill, Samaria. 011 1KI 016 025 And Omri did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and dealt wickedly above 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 sins wherewith he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD, the 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 shewed, 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 that which was 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 to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him. 011 1KI 016 032 And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria. 011 1KI 016 033 And Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did yet more to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him. 011 1KI 016 034 In his days did Hiel the Beth-elite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof with the loss of Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof with the loss of his youngest son Segub; according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by the hand of Joshua the son of Nun. 011 1KI 017 001 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the sojourners of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD, the 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 unto him, saying, 011 1KI 017 003 Get thee hence, 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 unto 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 was no rain in the land. 011 1KI 017 008 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, 011 1KI 017 009 Arise, get thee 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, a widow woman was there gathering sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. 011 1KI 017 011 And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine 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 the barrel, and a little oil in the cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. 011 1KI 017 013 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it forth unto me, and afterward make for thee and for thy son. 011 1KI 017 014 For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, 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, did eat [many] days. 011 1KI 017 016 The barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake 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 sore, that there was no breath left in him. 011 1KI 017 018 And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? thou art come unto me to bring my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son! 011 1KI 017 019 And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the chamber, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed. 011 1KI 017 020 And he cried unto 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 unto 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 hearkened unto 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 out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth. 011 1KI 017 024 And the woman said to Elijah, Now 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, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth. 011 1KI 018 002 And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And the famine was sore in Samaria. 011 1KI 018 003 And Ahab called Obadiah, which was over the household. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly: 011 1KI 018 004 for it was so, when Jezebel cut off 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 unto Obadiah, Go through the land, unto all the fountains of water, and unto all the brooks: peradventure we may find grass and 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, Is it thou, my lord Elijah? 011 1KI 018 008 And he answered him, It is I: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah [is here]. 011 1KI 018 009 And he said, Wherein 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 or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not here, 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 am gone from thee, that the spirit of the LORD shall carry thee whither 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 an 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 shew myself unto him today. 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 unto him, Is it thou, thou troubler of 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 the Baalim. 011 1KI 018 019 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the Asherah four hundred, which eat at Jezebel’s table. 011 1KI 018 020 So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel. 011 1KI 018 021 And Elijah came near unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. 011 1KI 018 022 Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, am left 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 bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under. 011 1KI 018 024 And call ye on the name of your god, 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 unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under. 011 1KI 018 026 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed 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 about 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 musing, or he is gone aside, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked. 011 1KI 018 028 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lances, till the blood gushed out upon them. 011 1KI 018 029 And it was so, when midday was past, that they prophesied until the time of the offering of the [evening] oblation; but there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded. 011 1KI 018 030 And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me; and all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was thrown down. 011 1KI 018 031 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto 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 bullock in pieces, and laid it on the wood. And he said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt offering, 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 round about 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] oblation, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, O LORD, the God of Abraham, of 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, LORD, art 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 offering, 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 God; the LORD, he is God. 011 1KI 018 040 and Elijah said unto 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 unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is the 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 bowed himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees. 011 1KI 018 043 And he 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 cloud out of the sea, as small as a man’s hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Make ready [thy chariot], and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not. 011 1KI 018 045 And it came to pass in a little while, that the heaven grew 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 up 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 withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. 011 1KI 019 002 Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto 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 tomorrow about this time. 011 1KI 019 003 And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, 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 he lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and, behold, an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat. 011 1KI 019 006 And he looked, and, behold, there was at his head a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water. And he did eat and drink, and laid him 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 did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God. 011 1KI 019 009 And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah? 011 1KI 019 010 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword: and I, even 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 brake 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 entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah? 011 1KI 019 014 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. 011 1KI 019 015 And the LORD said unto him, Go return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, thou shalt 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 Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room. 011 1KI 019 017 And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth from the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay; 011 1KI 019 018 Yet will I leave [me] seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him. 011 1KI 019 019 So he departed thence, 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 over unto 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 unto him, Go back again; for what have I done to thee? 011 1KI 019 021 And he returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him. 011 1KI 020 001 And Ben-hadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it. 011 1KI 020 002 And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel, into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Ben-hadad, 011 1KI 020 003 Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine. 011 1KI 020 004 And the king of Israel answered and said, It is according to thy saying, my lord, O king; I am thine, and all that I have. 011 1KI 020 005 And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh Ben-hadad, saying, I sent indeed unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children; 011 1KI 020 006 but I will send my servants unto thee tomorrow about this time, and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take 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 unto 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 unto him, Hearken thou not, neither consent. 011 1KI 020 009 Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Ben-hadad, 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 Ben-hadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto 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 [Ben-hadad] heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings, in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants, Set [yourselves in array]. And they set [themselves in array] against the city. 011 1KI 020 013 And, behold, a prophet came near unto Ahab king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold; I will deliver it into thine 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, By the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall begin the battle? And he answered, Thou. 011 1KI 020 015 Then he mustered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he mustered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand. 011 1KI 020 016 And they went out at noon. But Ben-hadad 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 Ben-hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out from Samaria. 011 1KI 020 018 And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive. 011 1KI 020 019 So these went out of the city, the young men of the princes of the provinces, 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 Ben-hadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with 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 near to the king of Israel, and said unto 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 unto him, Their god is a god 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 room: 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 unto their voice, and did so. 011 1KI 020 026 And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad mustered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel. 011 1KI 020 027 And the children of Israel were mustered, and were victualled, 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 a man of God came near and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys; therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 011 1KI 020 029 And they encamped one over against the other 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 the wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand men that were left. And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber. 011 1KI 020 031 And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, we pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure 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 Ben-hadad 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 observed diligently, and hasted to catch whether it were his mind; and they said, Thy brother Ben-hadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Ben-hadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot. 011 1KI 020 034 And [Ben-hadad] said unto 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. And I, [said Ahab], will let thee go with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and let him go. 011 1KI 020 035 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his fellow by the word of the LORD, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him. 011 1KI 020 036 Then said he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee. And as soon as he was 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, smiting and wounding him. 011 1KI 020 038 So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with his headband over his eyes. 011 1KI 020 039 And as the king passed by, he cried unto 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 unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he 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 unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it. 011 1KI 020 041 And he hasted, and took the headband away from his eyes; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets. 011 1KI 020 042 And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand the man whom I had devoted to 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 heavy 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, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. 011 1KI 021 002 And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house; and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it: or, if it seem 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 unto thee. 011 1KI 021 004 And Ahab came into his house heavy 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 him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread. 011 1KI 021 005 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread? 011 1KI 021 006 And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please 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 unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine 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 unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, [and] that dwelt 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, sons of Belial, before him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst curse God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he die. 011 1KI 021 011 And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them. 011 1KI 021 012 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people. 011 1KI 021 013 And the two men, sons of Belial, came in and sat before him: and the men of Belial bare witness against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did curse 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 rose up 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, which dwelleth in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to take possession of it. 011 1KI 021 019 And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? and thou shalt speak unto 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 mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to do that which is evil in the sight of the LORD. 011 1KI 021 021 Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will utterly sweep thee away, and will cut off from Ahab every man child, and him that is shut up and him that is left at large in Israel: 011 1KI 021 022 and I will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and hast made Israel to sin. 011 1KI 021 023 And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the rampart 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 unto Ahab, which did sell himself to do that which was evil 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 that the Amorites did, 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 rent 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 unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth-gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria? 011 1KI 022 004 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramoth-gilead? 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 unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD today. 011 1KI 022 006 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead 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 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here besides a prophet of the LORD, that we might inquire of him? 011 1KI 022 008 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD, Micaiah the son of Imlah: 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, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imlah. 011 1KI 022 010 Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, in an open place 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 said, Thus saith the LORD, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until they be consumed. 011 1KI 022 012 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king. 011 1KI 022 013 And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets [declare] good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak thou good. 011 1KI 022 014 And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that will I speak. 011 1KI 022 015 And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go up, and prosper; and the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king. 011 1KI 022 016 And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou speak unto me nothing but the truth in the name of the LORD? 011 1KI 022 017 And 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 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 not prophesy good concerning me, but evil? 011 1KI 022 019 And he said, Therefore hear thou 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 entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one said on this manner; and another said on that manner. 011 1KI 022 021 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. 011 1KI 022 022 And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt entice him, and shalt 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 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee? 011 1KI 022 025 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on 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 unto 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 fellow 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 return at all in peace, the LORD hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, ye peoples, all of you. 011 1KI 022 029 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead. 011 1KI 022 030 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and go 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 Now the king of Syria had commanded the thirty and two captains of his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save 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 it 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 saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him. 011 1KI 022 034 And a certain man drew his bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am sore wounded. 011 1KI 022 035 And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the bottom of the chariot. 011 1KI 022 036 And there went a cry throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his 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 they washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood; (now the harlots washed themselves [there]; ) according unto the word of the LORD which he spake. 011 1KI 022 039 Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he built, 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 way of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD: howbeit the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense 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 shewed, 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 put away out of the land. 011 1KI 022 047 And there was no king in Edom: a deputy was king. 011 1KI 022 048 Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Ezion-geber. 011 1KI 022 049 Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto 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 in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned two years over Israel. 011 1KI 022 052 And he did that which was 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, wherein he made Israel to sin. 011 1KI 022 053 And he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the LORD, the God of Israel, according to all that his father had done. # # BOOK 012 2KI 2 Kings 2 Kings 012 2KI 001 001 And Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab. 012 2KI 001 002 And Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this sickness. 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 unto them, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron? 012 2KI 001 004 Now therefore thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed. 012 2KI 001 005 And the messengers returned unto him, and he said unto them, Why is it that ye are returned? 012 2KI 001 006 And they said unto him, There came up a man to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that thou sendest to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. 012 2KI 001 007 And he said unto them, What manner of man was he which 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 girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite. 012 2KI 001 009 Then [the king] sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of the hill. And he spake unto him, O 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 be a man of God, 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 And again he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly. 012 2KI 001 012 And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be 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 again he sent the captain of a 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 unto 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 consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties: but now let my life be precious in thy sight. 012 2KI 001 015 And the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king. 012 2KI 001 016 And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed whither 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 began to reign 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 by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. 012 2KI 002 002 And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me as far as Beth-el. And Elisha said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Beth-el. 012 2KI 002 003 And the sons of the prophets that were at Beth-el came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head today? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace. 012 2KI 002 004 And Elijah said unto 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 near to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head today? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace. 012 2KI 002 006 And Elijah said unto 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 over against them afar off: and they two stood by Jordan. 012 2KI 002 008 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote me waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground. 012 2KI 002 009 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken 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 see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto 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, which parted them both asunder; 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 chariots of Israel and the horsemen thereof! And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent 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, the God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they were divided hither and thither: and Elisha went over. 012 2KI 002 015 And when the sons of the prophets which were at Jericho over against him 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 unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest peradventure 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 they came back to him, while he tarried at Jericho; and he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not? 012 2KI 002 019 And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, we pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the land miscarrieth. 012 2KI 002 020 And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him. 012 2KI 002 021 And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast salt therein, and said, Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or miscarrying. 012 2KI 002 022 So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spake. 012 2KI 002 023 And he went up from thence unto Beth-el: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. 012 2KI 002 024 And he looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she-bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them. 012 2KI 002 025 And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence 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 did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made. 012 2KI 003 003 Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom. 012 2KI 003 004 Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster; and he rendered unto the king of Israel the wool of an hundred thousand lambs, and of an hundred thousand rams. 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 at that time, and mustered 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 up: I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses. 012 2KI 003 008 And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way of 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 host, nor for the beasts that followed them. 012 2KI 003 010 And the king of Israel said, Alas! for 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 inquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel’s servants answered and said, Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, which 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 unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto 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 trenches. 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: and ye shall 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 also deliver the Moabites into your hand. 012 2KI 003 019 And ye shall smite every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all fountains of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones. 012 2KI 003 020 And it came to pass in the morning, about the time of offering the oblation, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water. 012 2KI 003 021 Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all that were able to put on armour, and upward, and stood on the border. 012 2KI 003 022 And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water over against them as red as blood: 012 2KI 003 023 and they said, This is blood; the kings are surely destroyed, and they have smitten each man his fellow: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil. 012 2KI 003 024 And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them: and they went forward into the land smiting the Moabites. 012 2KI 003 025 And they beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land they cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the fountains of water, and felled all the good trees: until in Kir-hareseth [only] they left the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it, and smote it. 012 2KI 003 026 And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew sword, to break through unto the king of Edom: but they could not. 012 2KI 003 027 Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great wrath 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 unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead: and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two children to be bondmen. 012 2KI 004 002 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me; what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save 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 thou shalt go in, and shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and 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; they 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 unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed. 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 sons of 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 thither to eat bread. 012 2KI 004 009 And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually. 012 2KI 004 010 Let us make, I pray thee, a little chamber on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither. 012 2KI 004 011 And it fell on a day, that he came thither, 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 unto him, Say now unto 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 mine own people. 012 2KI 004 014 And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no son, 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, At this season, when the time cometh round, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid. 012 2KI 004 017 And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season, when the time came round, as Elisha had said unto her. 012 2KI 004 018 And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers. 012 2KI 004 019 And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to his servant, 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 unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the servants, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again. 012 2KI 004 023 And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him today? it is neither new moon nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well. 012 2KI 004 024 Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slacken me not the riding, except I bid thee. 012 2KI 004 025 So she went, and came unto 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 the Shunammite: 012 2KI 004 026 run, I pray thee, now to meet her, and say unto 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 hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, Let her alone: for her soul is vexed within her; and the LORD hath hid it from me, and hath not told me. 012 2KI 004 028 Then she said, Did I desire a son of 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 thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute 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. Wherefore he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked. 012 2KI 004 032 And when Elisha was 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 twain, and prayed unto 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 him; and the flesh of the child waxed warm. 012 2KI 004 035 Then he returned, and walked in the house once 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 was come in onto 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 she took up her son, and went out. 012 2KI 004 038 And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe 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 thereof 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 man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof. 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 Baal-shalishah, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of corn in his sack. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat. 012 2KI 004 043 And his servant said, What, should I set this before an hundred men? But he said, Give the people, that they may eat; for thus saith the LORD, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof. 012 2KI 004 044 So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the LORD. 012 2KI 005 001 Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had given victory unto Syria: he was also a mighty man of valour, [but he was] a leper. 012 2KI 005 002 And the Syrians had gone out in bands, 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 unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! then would he recover 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 to, go, and I will send a letter unto 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, And now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy. 012 2KI 005 007 And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy? but 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 heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent 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 chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha. 012 2KI 005 010 And Elisha sent a messenger unto 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 wroth, 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 wave his hand over the place, and recover the leper. 012 2KI 005 012 Are not Abanah and Pharpar, the 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 spake unto 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 went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto 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 present of 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, If not, yet I pray thee let there be given to thy servant two mules’ burden of earth; for thy servant will henceforth offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto the LORD. 012 2KI 005 018 In this thing the LORD pardon thy servant; 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 myself in the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon thy servant in this thing. 012 2KI 005 019 And he said unto 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 this Naaman the Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: as the LORD liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him. 012 2KI 005 021 So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw one running after him, he lighted 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 be come to me from the hill country of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets; give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of raiment. 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 raiment, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bare them before him. 012 2KI 005 024 And when he came to the hill, 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 unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither. 012 2KI 005 026 And he said unto him, Went not mine 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 menservants and maidservants? 012 2KI 005 027 The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto 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 unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell before thee is too strait for us. 012 2KI 006 002 Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence 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, my master! for it was borrowed. 012 2KI 006 006 And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither, and made the iron to swim. 012 2KI 006 007 And he said, Take it up to thee. So he put out his hand, and took it. 012 2KI 006 008 Now the king of Syria warred against Israel; and he 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 unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are coming 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 he saved himself there, not once nor twice. 012 2KI 006 011 And the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel? 012 2KI 006 012 And one of his servants said, Nay, 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 see where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan. 012 2KI 006 014 Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about. 012 2KI 006 015 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host with horses and chariots was round about the city. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? 012 2KI 006 016 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be 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 round about Elisha. 012 2KI 006 018 And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto 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 unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. And he led them to Samaria. 012 2KI 006 020 And it came to pass, when they were 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 unto 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. And the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel. 012 2KI 006 024 And it came to pass after this, that Ben-hadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria. 012 2KI 006 025 And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass’s head was sold for fourscore [pieces] of silver, and the fourth part of a kab 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 unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king. 012 2KI 006 027 And he said, If the LORD do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the threshing-floor, or out of the winepress? 012 2KI 006 028 And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow. 012 2KI 006 029 So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto 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 rent his clothes; (now he was passing by upon the wall; ) and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh. 012 2KI 006 031 Then he said, God do so to me, and more also, 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 ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away mine head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold the door fast against him: 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 unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of the LORD; why should I wait for the LORD any longer? 012 2KI 007 001 And Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD: thus saith the LORD, Tomorrow 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 the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof. 012 2KI 007 003 Now there were four leprous men at the entering in 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 unto the host 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 up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, there was no man there. 012 2KI 007 006 For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: 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 Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life. 012 2KI 007 008 And when these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and they came back, and entered into another tent, and carried thence 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, punishment will overtake us: now therefore come, let us go and tell the king’s household. 012 2KI 007 010 So they came and called unto the porter of the city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but the horses tied, and the asses tied, and the tents as they were. 012 2KI 007 011 And he called the porters; and they told it to the king’s household within. 012 2KI 007 012 And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now shew you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we be hungry; therefore are they 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, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are consumed: ) and let us send and see. 012 2KI 007 014 They took therefore two chariots with horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see. 012 2KI 007 015 And they went after them unto 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 spoiled the camp 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 captain on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spake 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 tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria; 012 2KI 007 019 and that captain 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 thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof: 012 2KI 007 020 it came to pass even so unto him; for the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died. 012 2KI 008 001 Now Elisha had spoken unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever 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 word 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 out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land. 012 2KI 008 004 Now the king was talking 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 to life him that was dead, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried 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 unto 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 until now. 012 2KI 008 007 And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come hither. 012 2KI 008 008 And the king said unto Hazael, Take a present in thine hand, and go meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, Shall I recover of this sickness? 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 Ben-hadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this sickness. 012 2KI 008 010 And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou shalt surely recover; howbeit the LORD hath shewed me that he shall surely die. 012 2KI 008 011 And he settled his countenance stedfastly [upon him], 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 unto 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 in pieces their little ones, and rip up their women with child. 012 2KI 008 013 And Hazael said, But what is thy servant, which is but a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The LORD hath shewed me that thou shalt be king over Syria. 012 2KI 008 014 Then 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 morrow, that he took the coverlet, 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 he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD. 012 2KI 008 019 Howbeit the LORD would not destroy Judah, for David his servant’s sake, as he promised him to give unto him a lamp for his children alway. 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 Then Joram passed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots: and the people fled to their tents. 012 2KI 008 022 So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, unto this day. Then did Libnah revolt 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 that which was 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 war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth-gilead: and the Syrians wounded Joram. 012 2KI 008 029 And king Joram returned 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 sons of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this vial of oil in thine hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead. 012 2KI 009 002 And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber. 012 2KI 009 003 Then take the vial 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 Ramoth-gilead. 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, Unto which of all us? 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 unto him, Thus saith the LORD, the 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 every man child, and him that is shut up and him that is left at large 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 unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? And he said unto them, Ye know the man and what his talk was. 012 2KI 009 012 And they said, It is false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spake he 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 the trumpet, saying, Jehu is king. 012 2KI 009 014 So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram kept Ramoth-gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria: 012 2KI 009 015 but king Joram was 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 this be your mind, then let none escape and go forth out of 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 was come down to see Joram. 012 2KI 009 017 Now the watchman stood 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 cometh not again. 012 2KI 009 019 Then he sent out a second on horseback, which 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 unto them, and cometh not again: 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 they made ready his chariot. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and found 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 whoredoms 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 his bow with his full strength, and smote Joram 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 in 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 have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the LORD; and I will requite thee in this plat, saith the LORD. Now therefore take and cast him into the plat [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. An Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot: [and they smote him] 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 was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and tired her head, and looked out at the window. 012 2KI 009 031 And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Is it peace, thou Zimri, thy master’s murderer? 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 trode her under foot. 012 2KI 009 034 And when he was come in, he did eat and drink; and he said, See now to 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 Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall the dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel: 012 2KI 009 037 and the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel. 012 2KI 010 001 Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, even the elders, and unto them that brought up [the sons of] Ahab, saying, 012 2KI 010 002 And 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 fenced city also, and armour; 012 2KI 010 003 look ye out the best and meetest 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, the two kings stood not before him: how then shall we stand? 012 2KI 010 005 And he that was over the household, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and they that 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 man king: do thou that which is good in thine eyes. 012 2KI 010 006 Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, If ye be on my side, and if ye will hearken unto my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master’s sons, and come to me to Jezreel by tomorrow this time. Now the king’s sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, which 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 them, even seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them unto 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 entering in 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 be righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him: but who smote all these? 012 2KI 010 010 Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing of the word of the LORD, which the LORD spake concerning the house of Ahab: for the LORD hath done that which he spake by his servant Elijah. 012 2KI 010 011 So Jehu smote all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his familiar friends, and his priests, until he left him none remaining. 012 2KI 010 012 And he arose and departed, and went to Samaria. And as he was at the shearing house of the shepherds 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 salute 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 was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him: and he saluted him, and said to him, Is thine heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, give me thine 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 smote all that remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake to Elijah. 012 2KI 010 018 And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu shall serve him much. 012 2KI 010 019 Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his worshippers, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice [to do] to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal. 012 2KI 010 020 And Jehu said, Sanctify 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 filled from one end to another. 012 2KI 010 022 And he said unto 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 he said unto the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers of Baal only. 012 2KI 010 024 And they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had appointed him fourscore men without, and said, If any of the men whom I bring 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 made as end of 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 pillars that were in the house of Baal, and burned them. 012 2KI 010 027 And they brake down the pillar of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught house, unto this day. 012 2KI 010 028 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel. 012 2KI 010 029 Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, [to wit], the golden calves that were in Beth-el, and that were in Dan. 012 2KI 010 030 And the LORD said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, [and] hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart, thy sons 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, the God of Israel, with all his heart: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, wherewith he made Israel to sin. 012 2KI 010 032 In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short: and Hazael smote them in all the coasts 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 valley of 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 Now 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 away from among the king’s sons that were slain, even him and his nurse, [and put them] in the bedchamber; and they hid him 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 fetched the captains over hundreds, of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the LORD; and he made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the LORD, and shewed 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 come in on the sabbath, shall be keepers of the watch of the king’s house; 012 2KI 011 006 And a third part shall be at the gate Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the watch of the house, and be a barrier. 012 2KI 011 007 And the two companies of you, even all that go forth on the sabbath, shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD about the king. 012 2KI 011 008 And ye shall compass the king round about, 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 when he goeth out, and when he cometh in. 012 2KI 011 009 And the captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men, those that were to come in on the sabbath, with those that were to go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest. 012 2KI 011 010 And the priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spears and shields that had been king David’s, which were in the house of the LORD. 012 2KI 011 011 And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, by the king round about. 012 2KI 011 012 Then he brought out 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 house of the LORD: 012 2KI 011 014 and she looked, and, behold, the king stood by the pillar, as the manner was, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, treason. 012 2KI 011 015 And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth between the ranks; and him that followeth her slay with the sword: for the priest said, Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD. 012 2KI 011 016 So they made way for her; and she went by the way of the horses’ entry to 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 to the house of Baal, and brake it down: his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly, 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 captains over hundreds, and the Carites, 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 unto the king’s house. And he sat on the throne of the kings. 012 2KI 011 020 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword at the king’s house. 012 2KI 011 021 Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign. 012 2KI 012 001 In the seventh year of Jehu began Jehoash to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba. 012 2KI 012 002 And Jehoash did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him. 012 2KI 012 003 Howbeit 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 hallowed things that is brought into the house of the LORD, in current money, the money of the persons for whom each man is rated, and all the money that it 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 from his acquaintance: and they shall repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever 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 for the [other] priests, and said unto them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore take no [more] money from your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house. 012 2KI 012 008 And the priests consented that they should take no [more] money from the people, neither 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 therein 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 told the money that was found in the house of the LORD. 012 2KI 012 011 And they gave the money that was weighed out 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 the builders, that wrought upon the house of the LORD, 012 2KI 012 012 and to the masons and the hewers of stone, and for buying timber and hewn 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 But there were not made for the house of the LORD cups 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 for they gave that to them that did the work, and repaired therewith the house of the LORD. 012 2KI 012 015 Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to give to them that did the work: for they dealt faithfully. 012 2KI 012 016 The money for the guilt offerings, and the money for the sin offerings, 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 treasures of the house of the LORD; and of the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem. 012 2KI 012 019 Now 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 smote Joash at the house of Millo, [on the way] that goeth down to Silla. 012 2KI 012 021 For Jozacar 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 hin 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, wherewith he made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom. 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 Ben-hadad the son of Hazael, continually. 012 2KI 013 004 And Jehoahaz besought the LORD, and the LORD hearkened unto him: for he saw the oppression of Israel, how that 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 beforetime. 012 2KI 013 006 Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, wherewith he made Israel to sin, but walked therein: and there remained the Asherah also in Samaria.) 012 2KI 013 007 For he left not to Jehoahaz of the people save fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria destroyed them, and made them like the dust in 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 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, wherewith he made Israel to sin: but he walked therein. 012 2KI 013 012 Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might wherewith 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 was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died: and Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over him, and said, My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and the horsemen thereof! 012 2KI 013 015 And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows: and he took unto him bow and arrows. 012 2KI 013 016 And he said to the king of Israel, Put thine hand upon the bow: and he put his hand [upon it]. And Elisha laid 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 LORD’S arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them. 012 2KI 013 018 And he said, Take the arrows: and he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground: and he smote thrice, and stayed. 012 2KI 013 019 And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice. 012 2KI 013 020 And Elisha died, and they buried him. Now the hands 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; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and as soon as the man touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet. 012 2KI 013 022 And Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz. 012 2KI 013 023 But the LORD was gracious unto them, and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet. 012 2KI 013 024 And Hazael king of Syria died; and Ben-hadad his son reigned in his stead. 012 2KI 013 025 And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Ben-hadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three times did Joash smite him; and recovered the cities of Israel. 012 2KI 014 001 In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel began Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah to reign. 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 Jehoaddin of Jerusalem. 012 2KI 014 003 And he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, yet not like David his father: he did according to all that Joash his father had done. 012 2KI 014 004 Howbeit the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places. 012 2KI 014 005 And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, that he slew his servants which had slain the king his father: 012 2KI 014 006 but the children of the murderers he put not to death: according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as 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 die for his own sin. 012 2KI 014 007 He slew of Edom in the Valley of Salt ten thousand, and took Sela by war, and called the name of it Joktheel, unto 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 to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle. 012 2KI 014 010 Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thine heart hath lifted thee up: glory thereof, and abide at home; for why shouldest thou meddle to [thy] hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee? 012 2KI 014 011 But Amaziah would not hear. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah. 012 2KI 014 012 And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to his tent. 012 2KI 014 013 And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubists. 012 2KI 014 014 And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, 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 Now 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 And 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 upon 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 in the room 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, wherewith he made Israel to sin. 012 2KI 014 025 He restored the border of Israel from the entering in of Hamath unto the sea of the Arabah, according to the word of the LORD, the God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was of Gath-hepher. 012 2KI 014 026 For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter: for there was none shut up nor left at large, neither was there 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 had belonged] to Judah, for Israel, are they hot 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 Zechariah 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 Jecoliah of Jerusalem. 012 2KI 015 003 And he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done. 012 2KI 015 004 Howbeit the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places. 012 2KI 015 005 And the LORD smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king’s son was over the household, judging the people of the land: 012 2KI 015 006 Now 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 And 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 Zechariah 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, wherewith he 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 Now the rest of the acts of Zechariah, 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 spake unto Jehu, saying, Thy sons to the fourth generation shall sit upon the throne of Israel. 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 the space of a month in Samaria. 012 2KI 015 014 And 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 Now 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 therein, and the borders thereof, from Tirzah: because they opened not to him, therefore he smote it; and all the women therein 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, wherewith he made Israel to sin. 012 2KI 015 019 There came against the land Pul the king of Assyria; 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 Now 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, wherewith he made Israel to sin. 012 2KI 015 025 And Pekah the son of Remaliah, his captain, conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the castle of the king’s house, with Argob and Arieh; and with him were fifty men of the Gileadites: and he slew him, and reigned in his stead. 012 2KI 015 026 Now 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, wherewith he made Israel to sin. 012 2KI 015 029 In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abel-beth-maacah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali; and he 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 Now 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 eyes of the LORD: he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done. 012 2KI 015 035 Howbeit the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places. He built the upper 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 he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he did not that which was right in the eyes of the LORD his God, like David his father. 012 2KI 016 003 But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and 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 drave the Jews from Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there, unto this day. 012 2KI 016 007 So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, I am thy servant and thy son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, which 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 treasures 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 unto him: and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried the [the people of] it captive to Kir, and slew Rezin. 012 2KI 016 010 And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and saw the 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 thereof. 012 2KI 016 011 And Urijah the priest built an altar: according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus, so did Urijah the priest make it against king Ahaz came from Damascus. 012 2KI 016 012 And when the king was come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king drew near unto the altar, and offered thereon. 012 2KI 016 013 And he burnt his burnt offering and his meal offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, upon the altar. 012 2KI 016 014 And the brasen altar, which was before the LORD, he brought from the forefront of the house, from between his altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on the north side of his 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 meal offering, and the king’s burnt offering, and his meal offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meal offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: but the brasen altar shall be for me to inquire 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 stone. 012 2KI 016 018 And the covered way for the sabbath, that they had built in the house, and the king’s entry without, turned he unto the house of the LORD, because of 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, [and reigned] nine years. 012 2KI 017 002 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, yet 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 brought him presents. 012 2KI 017 004 And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and offered no present 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 unto Assyria, and placed them in Halah, and in Habor, [on] the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes. 012 2KI 017 007 And it was so, because the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, which brought them up 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 nations, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they 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 them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city. 012 2KI 017 010 and they set them up pillars and Asherim upon every high hill, and under every green tree: 012 2KI 017 011 and there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the nations whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger: 012 2KI 017 012 and they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing. 012 2KI 017 013 Yet the LORD testified unto Israel, and unto Judah, by the hand of every prophet, and of every seer, 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 the hand of my servants the prophets. 012 2KI 017 014 Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their neck, like to the neck of their fathers, who believed not 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 unto them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and [went] after the nations that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them that they should not do like them. 012 2KI 017 016 And they forsook all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah, 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 that which was 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 rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin. 012 2KI 017 022 And 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 spake by the hand of all his servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria, unto this day. 012 2KI 017 024 And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof. 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 killed some of them. 012 2KI 017 026 Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast carried away, 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, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land. 012 2KI 017 028 So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Beth-el, and taught them how they should fear the LORD. 012 2KI 017 029 Howbeit 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 wherein they dwelt. 012 2KI 017 030 And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima, 012 2KI 017 031 and the Avvites 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 unto them from among themselves priests of the high places, which 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 from among whom they had been carried away. 012 2KI 017 034 Unto 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 or after the 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 up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and unto him shall ye bow yourselves, 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 shall ye fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies. 012 2KI 017 040 Howbeit 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; their children likewise, and their children’s children, as did their fathers, so do they unto 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: and his mother’s name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah. 012 2KI 018 003 And he did that which was right hi the eyes of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done. 012 2KI 018 004 He removed the high places, and brake the pillars, and cut down the Asherah: And he brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made; for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it; and he called it Nehushtan. 012 2KI 018 005 He trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor [among them] that were before him. 012 2KI 018 006 For he clave to the LORD, he departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses. 012 2KI 018 007 And the LORD was with him; whithersoever he went forth he prospered: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not. 012 2KI 018 008 He smote the Philistines unto Gaza and the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced 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, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken. 012 2KI 018 011 And the king of Assyria carried Israel away unto Assyria, and put them in Halah, and in Habor, [on] 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, even all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear it, nor do it. 012 2KI 018 013 Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced 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; return from me: that which thou puttest on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto 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 treasures 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 Rab-saris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great army unto Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were 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, which was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder. 012 2KI 018 019 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest? 012 2KI 018 020 Thou sayest, but they are but vain words, [There is] counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou hast rebelled against me? 012 2KI 018 021 Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him. 012 2KI 018 022 But if ye say unto 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 to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem? 012 2KI 018 023 Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them. 012 2KI 018 024 How then canst 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 Am I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? The LORD said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it. 012 2KI 018 026 Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak 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 unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? [hath he not sent me] to the men which sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water with you? 012 2KI 018 028 Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and spake, saying, Hear ye 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 given into the hand of the king of Assyria. 012 2KI 018 031 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make your peace with me, 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; 012 2KI 018 032 Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive and of honey, that ye may live, and not die: and hearken not unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, The LORD will deliver us. 012 2KI 018 033 Hath any of the gods of the nations ever delivered 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, of Hena, and Ivvah? 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, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah, with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh. 012 2KI 019 001 And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD. 012 2KI 019 002 And he sent Eliakim, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz. 012 2KI 019 003 And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of contumely: for the children are 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 rebuke the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left. 012 2KI 019 005 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah. 012 2KI 019 006 And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. 012 2KI 019 007 Behold, I will put a spirit in 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 was departed from Lachish. 012 2KI 019 009 And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight against thee: he sent messengers again unto 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 given 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, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Edom which were in Telassar? 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 Ivvah? 012 2KI 019 014 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto 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, the God of Israel, that sittest upon 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 Incline thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open thine eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, wherewith he hath sent him to reproach the living God. 012 2KI 019 017 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste 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, save thou us, I beseech thee, out of 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, the God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard [thee]. 012 2KI 019 021 This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion hath despised thee and laughed thee to scorn; 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 thine 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 am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into his farthest lodging place, the forest of his fruitful field. 012 2KI 019 024 I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet will I dry up all the rivers of Egypt. 012 2KI 019 025 Hast thou not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities into 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 corn blasted before it be grown up. 012 2KI 019 027 But I know thy sitting down, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against me. 012 2KI 019 028 Because of thy raging against me, and for that thine arrogancy is come up into mine ears, therefore will I 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 the sign unto thee: ye shall eat this year that which groweth of itself, 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 fruit thereof. 012 2KI 019 030 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward. 012 2KI 019 031 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion they that shall escape: the zeal of the LORD shall perform this. 012 2KI 019 032 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come unto this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast a mount against it. 012 2KI 019 033 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come unto this city, saith the LORD. 012 2KI 019 034 For I will defend this city to save it, for mine 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 forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when men arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses. 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 smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead. 012 2KI 020 001 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. 012 2KI 020 002 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying, 012 2KI 020 003 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 sore. 012 2KI 020 004 And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle part of the city, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying, 012 2KI 020 005 Turn again, and say to Hezekiah the prince 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 unto the house of the LORD. 012 2KI 020 006 And I will add unto 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 mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake. 012 2KI 020 007 And Isaiah said, Take a cake of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered. 012 2KI 020 008 And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up unto the house of the LORD the third day? 012 2KI 020 009 And Isaiah said, This shall be the sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps? 012 2KI 020 010 And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to decline ten steps: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten steps. 012 2KI 020 011 And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the dial of Ahaz. 012 2KI 020 012 At that time Berodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah: for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick. 012 2KI 020 013 And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion that Hezekiah shewed them not. 012 2KI 020 014 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country, even from Babylon. 012 2KI 020 015 And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them. 012 2KI 020 016 And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD. 012 2KI 020 017 Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried to 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 unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, Is it not so, if peace and truth shall be in my days? 012 2KI 020 020 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made the pool, and the 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 five and fifty years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Hephzi-bah. 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 up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, 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, whereof 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 to pass through the fire, and practised augury, and used enchantments, and dealt with them that had familiar spirits, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger. 012 2KI 021 007 And he set the graven image of Asherah, 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 the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever: 012 2KI 021 008 neither will I cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; if only 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 that which is evil more than did the nations, whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel. 012 2KI 021 010 And the LORD spake 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, which were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols: 012 2KI 021 012 therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I bring such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever 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 cast off the remnant of mine 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 is evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day. 012 2KI 021 016 Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was 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 did Manasseh his father. 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, the 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 put the king to death in his own house. 012 2KI 021 024 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. 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 Bozkath. 012 2KI 022 002 And he did that which was right in the eyes 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 up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the money which is brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of the door have gathered of the people: 012 2KI 022 005 and let them deliver it into the hand of the workmen that have the oversight of the house of the LORD: and let them give it to the workmen which are in the house of the LORD, to repair the breaches of the house; 012 2KI 022 006 unto the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons; and for buying timber and hewn stone to repair the house. 012 2KI 022 007 Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand; for they dealt faithfully. 012 2KI 022 008 And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah delivered 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 emptied out the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of the workmen that have the oversight of the house of the LORD. 012 2KI 022 010 And Shaphan the scribe told 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 rent his clothes. 012 2KI 022 012 And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, saying, 012 2KI 022 013 Go ye, inquire 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 unto the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us. 012 2KI 022 014 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah, went unto 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 communed with her. 012 2KI 022 015 And she said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Tell ye the man that sent you unto me, 012 2KI 022 016 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, 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 unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and it shall not be quenched. 012 2KI 022 018 But unto the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: As touching the words which thou hast heard, 012 2KI 022 019 because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the LORD. 012 2KI 022 020 Therefore, behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes 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 unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem. 012 2KI 023 002 And the king went up to 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 ears 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 the 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 [his] heart, and all [his] soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book: and all the people stood to 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 Asherah, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Beth-el. 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 round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto 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 Asherah from the house of the LORD, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the common people. 012 2KI 023 007 And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were in the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the Asherah. 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 burned incense, from Geba to Beer-sheba; and he brake down the high places of the gates that were at the entering in 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 did eat 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 entering in of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain, which was in the precincts; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire. 012 2KI 023 012 And the altars that were on the roof 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 break down, and beat [them] down from thence, 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 builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile. 012 2KI 023 014 And he brake in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Asherim, and filled their places with the bones of men. 012 2KI 023 015 Moreover the altar that was at Beth-el, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he brake down; and he burned the high place and stamped it small to powder, and burned the Asherah. 012 2KI 023 016 And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount; and he sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things. 012 2KI 023 017 Then he said, What monument is that which I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, which came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Beth-el. 012 2KI 023 018 And he said, Let him be; 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 Beth-el. 012 2KI 023 020 And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there, upon the altars, and burned men’s bones upon them; and he returned to Jerusalem. 012 2KI 023 021 And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto the LORD your God, as it is written in this book of the covenant. 012 2KI 023 022 Surely there was not kept 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 was this passover kept to the LORD in Jerusalem. 012 2KI 023 024 Moreover them that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might confirm 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 unto 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 Notwithstanding the LORD turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations that Manasseh had provoked him withal. 012 2KI 023 027 And the LORD said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, 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 Pharaoh-necoh 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 Pharaoh-necoh put him in bands at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of an hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold. 012 2KI 023 034 And Pharaoh-necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim: but he 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 of the people of the land, of everyone according to his taxation, to give it unto Pharaoh-necoh. 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 Zebidah 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 Chaldeans, 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 spake by the hand of 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: and 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 brook of Egypt unto 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 to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged. 012 2KI 024 011 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came unto the city, while his servants were besieging 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 thence 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 the smiths; none remained, save 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 chief men of the land, carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. 012 2KI 024 016 And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths a thousand, all of them 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 did it come to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence: and 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 round about. 012 2KI 025 002 So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. 012 2KI 025 003 On the ninth day of the [fourth] month the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land. 012 2KI 025 004 Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war [fled] by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden: (now the Chaldeans were against the city round about: ) and [the king] went by the way of the Arabah. 012 2KI 025 005 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army was scattered from him. 012 2KI 025 006 Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment 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 in fetters, and carried him to Babylon. 012 2KI 025 008 Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem: 012 2KI 025 009 And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burnt he with fire. 012 2KI 025 010 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were [with] the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about. 012 2KI 025 011 And the residue of the people that were left in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away captive. 012 2KI 025 012 But the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen. 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 were in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldeans 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 wherewith they ministered, took they away. 012 2KI 025 015 And the firepans, and the basons; that which was of gold, in gold; and that which was of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away. 012 2KI 025 016 The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without weight. 012 2KI 025 017 The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a chapiter of brass was upon it: and the height of the chapiter was three cubits;

And they also dwelt with their brethren in Jerusalem, over against their brethren. 013 1CH 008 033 And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchi-shua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal. 013 1CH 008 034 And the son of Jonathan was Merib-baal; and Merib-baal begat Micah. 013 1CH 008 035 And the sons of Micah; Pithon, and Melech, and Tarea, and Ahaz. 013 1CH 008 036 And Ahaz begat Jehoaddah; and Jehoaddah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza: 013 1CH 008 037 And Moza begat Binea; Raphah was his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son: 013 1CH 008 038 And Azel had six sons, whose names are these; Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan. All these were the sons of Azel. 013 1CH 008 039 And the sons of Eshek his brother; Ulam his firstborn, Jeush the second, and Eliphelet the third. 013 1CH 008 040 And the sons of Ulam were mighty men of valour, archers, and had many sons, and sons’ sons, an hundred and fifty. All these were of the sons of Benjamin. 013 1CH 009 001 So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies; and, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel: and Judah was carried away captive to Babylon for their transgression. 013 1CH 009 002 Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions in their cities were, Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the Nethinim. 013 1CH 009 003 And in Jerusalem dwelt of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim and Manasseh; 013 1CH 009 004 Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the children of Perez the son of Judah. 013 1CH 009 005 And of the Shilonites; Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons. 013 1CH 009 006 And of the sons of Zerah; Jeuel, and their brethren, six hundred and ninety. 013 1CH 009 007 And of the sons of Benjamin; Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenuah; 013 1CH 009 008 and Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, and Elah the son of Uzzi, the son of Michri, and Meshullam the son of Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah; 013 1CH 009 009 and their brethren, according to their generations, nine hundred and fifty and six. All these men were heads of fathers [houses] by their fathers’ houses. 013 1CH 009 010 And of the priests; Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin; 013 1CH 009 011 and Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam; the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God; 013 1CH 009 012 and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah, and Maasai the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer; 013 1CH 009 013 and their brethren, heads of their fathers’ houses, a thousand and seven hundred and threescore; very able men for the work of the service of the house of God. 013 1CH 009 014 And of the Levites; Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari; 013 1CH 009 015 and Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah the son of Mica, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph; 013 1CH 009 016 and Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, that dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites. 013 1CH 009 017 And the porters; Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren: Shallum was the chief; 013 1CH 009 018 who hitherto [waited] in the king’s gate eastward: they were the porters for the camp of the children of Levi. 013 1CH 009 019 And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of his father’s house, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle: and their fathers had been over the camp of the LORD, keepers of the entry; 013 1CH 009 020 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was ruler over them in time past, [and] the LORD was with him. 013 1CH 009 021 Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tent of meeting. 013 1CH 009 022 All these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office. 013 1CH 009 023 So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, even the house of the tabernacle, by wards. 013 1CH 009 024 On the four sides were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south. 013 1CH 009 025 And their brethren, and their villages, were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with them: 013 1CH 009 026 for the four chief porters, who were Levites, were in a set office, and were over the chambers and over the treasuries in the house of God. 013 1CH 009 027 And they lodged round about the house of God, because the charge [thereof] was upon them, and to them pertained the opening thereof morning by morning. 013 1CH 009 028 And certain of them had charge of the vessels of service; for by tale were they brought in and by tale were they taken out. 013 1CH 009 029 Some of them also were appointed over the furniture, and over all the vessels of the sanctuary, and over the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices: 013 1CH 009 030 And some of the sons of the priests prepared the confection of the spices. 013 1CH 009 031 And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the set office over the things that were baked in pans. 013 1CH 009 032 And some of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the shewbread, to prepare it every sabbath. 013 1CH 009 033 And these are the singers, heads of fathers’ [houses] of the Levites, [who dwelt] in the chambers [and were] free [from other service]: for they were employed in their work day and night. 013 1CH 009 034 These were heads of fathers’ [houses] of the Levites, throughout their generations, chief men: these dwelt at Jerusalem. 013 1CH 009 035 And in Gibeon there dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jeiel, whose wife’s name was Maacah: 013 1CH 009 036 and his firstborn son Abdon, and Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab; 013 1CH 009 037 and Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth. 013 1CH 009 038 And Mikloth begat Shimeam. And they also dwelt with their brethren in Jerusalem, over against their brethren. 013 1CH 009 039 And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchi-shua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal. 013 1CH 009 040 And the son of Jonathan was Merib-baal; and Merib-baal begat Micah. 013 1CH 009 041 And the sons of Micah; Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea, [and Ahaz]. 013 1CH 009 042 And Ahaz begat Jarah; and Jarah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza: 013 1CH 009 043 and Moza begat Binea; and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son: 013 1CH 009 044 And Azel had six sons, whose names are these; Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan: these were the sons of Azel. 013 1CH 010 001 Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa. 013 1CH 010 002 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul. 013 1CH 010 003 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was distressed by reason of the archers. 013 1CH 010 004 Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith: lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell upon it. 013 1CH 010 005 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell upon his 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, 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 morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa. 013 1CH 010 009 And they stripped him, and took his head, and his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry the tidings unto 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 house of Dagon. 013 1CH 010 011 And when all Jabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul, 013 1CH 010 012 all the valiant men arose, 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 trespass which he committed against the LORD, because of the word of the LORD, which he kept not; and also for that he asked counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to inquire [thereby], 013 1CH 010 014 and inquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse. 013 1CH 011 001 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh. 013 1CH 011 002 In times past, even when Saul was king, it was thou that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over my people Israel. 013 1CH 011 003 So all the elders of Israel came 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 the hand of Samuel. 013 1CH 011 004 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (the same is Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there. 013 1CH 011 005 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come in hither. Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion; the same is the city of David. 013 1CH 011 006 And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made 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 round about, from Millo even round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city. 013 1CH 011 009 And David waxed greater and greater; for the LORD of hosts was with him. 013 1CH 011 010 Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who shewed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together 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, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty; he lifted up his spear against three hundred and slew them 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 together to battle, where was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines. 013 1CH 011 014 And they stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great victory. 013 1CH 011 015 And three of the thirty chief went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines were encamped in the valley of Rephaim. 013 1CH 011 016 And David was then in the hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Beth-lehem. 013 1CH 011 017 And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Beth-lehem, which is by the gate! 013 1CH 011 018 And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but David would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the LORD, 013 1CH 011 019 and said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this: 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 the three mighty men. 013 1CH 011 020 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for he lifted up his spear against three hundred and slew them, and had a name among the three. 013 1CH 011 021 Of the three, he was more honourable than the two and was made their captain: howbeit 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 mighty deeds, he slew the two [sons of] Ariel of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow. 013 1CH 011 023 And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; 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 more honourable than the thirty, but he attained not to the [first] three: and David set him over his guard. 013 1CH 011 026 Also the mighty men of the armies; Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Beth-lehem; 013 1CH 011 027 Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite; 013 1CH 011 028 Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abiezer the Anathothite; 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 of 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 Hagri; 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 chief of the Reubenites, and thirty with him; 013 1CH 011 043 Hanan the son of Maacah, and Joshaphat the Mithnite; 013 1CH 011 044 Uzzia the Ashterathite, Shama and Jeiel the sons of Hotham 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 Jaasiel the Mezobaite. 013 1CH 012 001 Now these are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kish: and they were among the mighty men, his helpers in war. 013 1CH 012 002 They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in slinging stones and in shooting arrows from the bow; they were 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 Beracah, and Jehu the Anathothite; 013 1CH 012 004 and Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Jozabad the Gederathite; 013 1CH 012 005 Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite; 013 1CH 012 006 Elkanah, and Isshiah, and Azarel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korahites; 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 unto David to the hold in the wilderness, mighty men of valour, men trained for war, that could handle shield and spear; whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were as swift as the roes upon the mountains; 013 1CH 012 009 Ezer the chief, 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, Machbannai the eleventh. 013 1CH 012 014 These of the sons of Gad were captains of the host: he that was least was equal to an hundred, and the greatest to a thousand. 013 1CH 012 015 These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflown 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 hold unto David. 013 1CH 012 017 And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you: but if [ye be come] to betray me to mine adversaries, seeing there is no wrong in mine hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it. 013 1CH 012 018 Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the thirty, [and he said], Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band. 013 1CH 012 019 Of Manasseh also there fell away some 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 away to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads. 013 1CH 012 020 As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of thousands that were of Manasseh. 013 1CH 012 021 And they helped David against the band of rovers: for they were all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host. 013 1CH 012 022 For from day to 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 heads of them that were armed for war, which 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 bare shield and spear were six thousand and eight hundred, armed for war. 013 1CH 012 025 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valour for the 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 house of] Aaron, 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 brethren of Saul, three thousand: for hitherto the greatest part of them had kept their allegiance to the house of Saul. 013 1CH 012 030 And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand and eight hundred, mighty men of valour, famous men in their fathers’ houses. 013 1CH 012 031 And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, which were expressed by name, to come and make David king. 013 1CH 012 032 And of the children of Issachar, 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 commandment. 013 1CH 012 033 Of Zebulun, such as were able to go out in the host, that could set the battle in array, with all manner of instruments of war, fifty thousand; and that could order [the battle array, and 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 that could set the battle in array, twenty and eight thousand and six hundred. 013 1CH 012 036 And of Asher, such as were able to go out in the host, that could set the battle in array, 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, being men of war, that could order the battle array, 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 they were there with David three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had made preparation for them. 013 1CH 012 040 Moreover they that were nigh unto them, [even] as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, victual of meal, cakes of figs, and clusters of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep in abundance: for there was joy in Israel: 013 1CH 013 001 And David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader. 013 1CH 013 002 And David said unto, all the assembly of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and if it be of the LORD our God, let us send abroad every where unto our brethren that are left in all the land of Israel, with whom the priests and Levites are in their cities that have suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us: 013 1CH 013 003 and let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we sought not unto it in the days of Saul. 013 1CH 013 004 And all the assembly said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. 013 1CH 013 005 So David assembled all Israel together, from Shihor [the brook] of Egypt even unto the entering in of Hamath; to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim. 013 1CH 013 006 And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, [that is], to Kiriath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, the LORD that sitteth upon the cherubim, which is called by the Name. 013 1CH 013 007 And they carried the ark of God upon a new cart, [and brought it] out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart. 013 1CH 013 008 And David and all Israel played before God with all their might: even with songs, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets. 013 1CH 013 009 And when they came unto the threshing-floor 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 forth 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: and he called that place Perez-uzza, unto 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 removed not the ark unto him into the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. 013 1CH 013 014 And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months: and the LORD blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that he had. 013 1CH 014 001 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him an house. 013 1CH 014 002 And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was exalted on high, for his people Israel’s sake. 013 1CH 014 003 And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters. 013 1CH 014 004 And these are the names of the children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon; 013 1CH 014 005 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet; 013 1CH 014 006 and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia; 013 1CH 014 007 and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet. 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 Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim. 013 1CH 014 010 And David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand. 013 1CH 014 011 So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said, God hath broken mine enemies by mine hand, like the breach of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim. 013 1CH 014 012 And they left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire. 013 1CH 014 013 And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley. 013 1CH 014 014 And David inquired again of God; and God said unto him, Thou shalt not go up after them: turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees. 013 1CH 014 015 And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines; 013 1CH 014 016 And David did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer. 013 1CH 014 017 And the fame of David went out unto all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations. 013 1CH 015 001 And [David] made him houses in the city of David; and he 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 unto him for ever. 013 1CH 015 003 And David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD unto its place, which he had prepared for it. 013 1CH 015 004 And David gathered together the sons 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 fourscore: 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 unto them, Ye are the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel, unto [the place] that I have prepared for it. 013 1CH 015 013 For because ye [bare it] not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not according to the ordinance. 013 1CH 015 014 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel. 013 1CH 015 015 And the children of the Levites bare the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD. 013 1CH 015 016 And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren the singers, with instruments of music, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding aloud and 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 Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, the doorkeepers. 013 1CH 015 019 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, [were appointed], with cymbals of brass to sound aloud; 013 1CH 015 020 and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries set to Alamoth; 013 1CH 015 021 and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps set to the Sheminith, to lead. 013 1CH 015 022 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the 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 Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obed-edom 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 out of the house of Obed-edom with joy: 013 1CH 015 026 And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they sacrificed seven bullocks and seven rams. 013 1CH 015 027 And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song [with] the singers: and David 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, sounding aloud 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 looked out at the window, and saw king David dancing and playing; and she despised him in her heart. 013 1CH 016 001 And they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God. 013 1CH 016 002 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offering 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 portion [of flesh], and a cake of raisins. 013 1CH 016 004 And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to celebrate and to thank and praise the LORD, the God of Israel: 013 1CH 016 005 Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, with psalteries and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud; 013 1CH 016 006 and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God. 013 1CH 016 007 Then on that day did David first ordain to give thanks unto the LORD, by the hand of Asaph and his brethren. 013 1CH 016 008 O give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name; make known his doings among the peoples. 013 1CH 016 009 Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; talk ye of all his marvelous 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 ye the LORD and his strength; seek his face evermore. 013 1CH 016 012 Remember his marvelous 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 Remember his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations; 013 1CH 016 016 [The covenant] which he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; 013 1CH 016 017 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant: 013 1CH 016 018 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance: 013 1CH 016 019 When ye were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and sojourners in it; 013 1CH 016 020 And they went about from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people. 013 1CH 016 021 He suffered no man to do them wrong; yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; 013 1CH 016 022 [Saying], Touch not mine anointed ones, and do my prophets no harm. 013 1CH 016 023 Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth his salvation from day to day. 013 1CH 016 024 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples. 013 1CH 016 025 For great is the LORD, and highly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods. 013 1CH 016 026 For all the gods of the peoples are idols: but the LORD made the heavens. 013 1CH 016 027 Honour and majesty are before him: strength and gladness are in his place. 013 1CH 016 028 Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the peoples, give unto the LORD glory and strength. 013 1CH 016 029 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. 013 1CH 016 030 Tremble before him, all the earth: the world also is stablished that it cannot be moved. 013 1CH 016 031 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; and let them say among the nations, The LORD reigneth. 013 1CH 016 032 Let the sea roar and the fulness thereof; let the field exult, and all that is therein; 013 1CH 016 033 Then shall the trees of the wood sing for joy before the LORD, for he cometh to judge the earth. 013 1CH 016 034 O give thanks unto 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 nations, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise. 013 1CH 016 036 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. 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 Obed-edom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers: 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 unto the LORD upon the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, which he commanded unto Israel; 013 1CH 016 041 and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed 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] instruments for the songs of God: and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate. 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 And it came to pass, when David dwelt in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD [dwelleth] under curtains. 013 1CH 017 002 And Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine 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, unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from [one] tabernacle [to another]. 013 1CH 017 006 In all places wherein I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedar? 013 1CH 017 007 Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be prince over my people Israel: 013 1CH 017 008 and I have been with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee; and I will make thee a name, like unto the name of the great ones that are in the earth. 013 1CH 017 009 And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the first, 013 1CH 017 010 and [as] from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will subdue all thine enemies. Moreover I tell thee that the LORD will build thee an house. 013 1CH 017 011 And it shall come to pass, when thy days be fulfilled that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will set up thy seed after thee, which 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 mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for ever. 013 1CH 017 015 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David. 013 1CH 017 016 Then David the king 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? 013 1CH 017 017 And this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; but thou hast 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 [say] yet more unto thee concerning the honour which is done to thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant. 013 1CH 017 019 O LORD, for thy servant’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou wrought all this greatness, to make known all [these] great things. 013 1CH 017 020 O LORD, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside 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 unto himself for a people, to make thee a name by great and terrible things, in driving out nations from before thy people, which thou redeemedst out of Egypt? 013 1CH 017 022 For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God. 013 1CH 017 023 And now, O LORD, let the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, be established for ever, and do as thou hast spoken. 013 1CH 017 024 And let thy name be established and magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and the house of David thy servant is established before thee. 013 1CH 017 025 For thou, O my God, hast revealed to thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore hath thy servant found [in his heart] to pray before thee. 013 1CH 017 026 And now, O LORD, thou art God, and hast promised this good thing unto thy servant: 013 1CH 017 027 and now it hath pleased thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O LORD, hast blessed, and it is blessed for ever. 013 1CH 018 001 And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines. 013 1CH 018 002 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David, and brought presents. 013 1CH 018 003 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish 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: and David houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots. 013 1CH 018 005 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadarezer king of Zobah, David smote of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men. 013 1CH 018 006 Then David put [garrisons] in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought presents. And the LORD gave victory to David whithersoever 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 And from Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadarezer, David took very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass. 013 1CH 018 009 And when Tou king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah, 013 1CH 018 010 he sent Hadoram his son to king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadarezer and smitten him; for Hadarezer had wars with Tou; and [he had with him] all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass. 013 1CH 018 011 These also did king David dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the 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 smote 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 servants to David. And the LORD gave victory to David whithersoever he went. 013 1CH 018 014 And David reigned over all Israel; and he executed judgment and justice unto all his people. 013 1CH 018 015 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder. 013 1CH 018 016 and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were 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 And 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 shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed kindness to me. So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And David’s servants 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 unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land? 013 1CH 019 004 So 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 be 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 Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah. 013 1CH 019 007 So they hired them thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cites, 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 at the gate of the city: and the kings that were 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 of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians. 013 1CH 019 011 And the rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother, and they put themselves in array against the children of Ammon. 013 1CH 019 012 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee. 013 1CH 019 013 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. 013 1CH 019 014 So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him. 013 1CH 019 015 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were 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 were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer at their head. 013 1CH 019 017 And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, 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 And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians [the men of] seven thousand 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 put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and served him: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more. 013 1CH 020 001 And it came to pass, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out [to battle], that 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 overthrew it. 013 1CH 020 002 And David took the crown of their king from off 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 forth the spoil of the city, exceeding much. 013 1CH 020 003 And he brought forth the people that were therein, and cut [them] with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. And thus did David unto 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: then Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Sippai, of the sons of the giant: and they were subdued. 013 1CH 020 005 And there was again war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. 013 1CH 020 006 And there was again 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 born unto the giant. 013 1CH 020 007 And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother slew him. 013 1CH 020 008 These were born unto 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 moved David to number Israel. 013 1CH 021 002 And David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know the sum of them. 013 1CH 021 003 And Joab said, The LORD make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord’s servants? why doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of guilt unto Israel? 013 1CH 021 004 Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem. 013 1CH 021 005 And Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword; 013 1CH 021 006 But Levi and Benjamin counted he 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 unto God, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing: but now, put away, I beseech thee, the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly. 013 1CH 021 009 And the LORD spake unto Gad, David’s seer, saying, 013 1CH 021 010 Go and speak unto David, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee. 013 1CH 021 011 So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Take which thou wilt; 013 1CH 021 012 either three years of famine; or three months to be consumed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him that sent me. 013 1CH 021 013 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great are his mercies: and let me not fall into the hand of man. 013 1CH 021 014 So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men. 013 1CH 021 015 And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was about to destroy, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the destroying angel, It is enough; now stay thine hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshing-floor 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 ever Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces. 013 1CH 021 017 And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be against me, and against my father’s house; but not against thy people, that they should be plagued. 013 1CH 021 018 Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 013 1CH 021 019 And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in the name of the LORD. 013 1CH 021 020 And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons that were 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 threshing-floor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground. 013 1CH 021 022 Then David said to Ornan, Give me the place of this threshing-floor, that I may build thereon an altar unto the LORD: for the full price shalt thou give it me: that the plague may be stayed from the people. 013 1CH 021 023 And Ornan said unto 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 for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal 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 a burnt offering 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 unto 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 the sheath thereof. 013 1CH 021 028 At that time, when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshing-floor 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 burnt offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon. 013 1CH 021 030 But David could not go before it to inquire 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 burnt offering for Israel. 013 1CH 022 002 And David commanded to gather together 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 couplings; and brass in abundance without weight; 013 1CH 022 004 and cedar trees without number: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought cedar trees in abundance to David. 013 1CH 022 005 And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death. 013 1CH 022 006 Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD, the God of Israel. 013 1CH 022 007 And David said to Solomon his son, As for me, it was in my heart to build an house unto 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 unto 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 round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto 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 spoken concerning thee. 013 1CH 022 012 Only the LORD give thee discretion and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel; that so thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God. 013 1CH 022 013 Then shalt thou prosper, if thou observe to do the statutes and the judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; fear not, neither be dismayed. 013 1CH 022 014 Now, behold, in my affliction I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto. 013 1CH 022 015 Moreover there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all men that are cunning in any manner of work; 013 1CH 022 016 of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number; arise 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 delivered the inhabitants of the land into mine 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 after 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 Now David was old and full of days; and 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 And the Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand. 013 1CH 023 004 Of these, 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 and four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, [said David], to praise therewith. 013 1CH 023 006 And David divided them into courses according to the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 013 1CH 023 007 Of the Gershonites; Ladan and Shimei. 013 1CH 023 008 The sons of Ladan; Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three. 013 1CH 023 009 The sons of Shimei; Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of Ladan. 013 1CH 023 010 And the sons of Shimei; 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 became a fathers’ house in one reckoning. 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 unto him, and to bless in his name, for ever. 013 1CH 023 014 But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi. 013 1CH 023 015 The sons of Moses; Gershom and Eliezer. 013 1CH 023 016 The sons of Gershom; Shebuel the chief. 013 1CH 023 017 And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many. 013 1CH 023 018 The sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief. 013 1CH 023 019 The sons of Hebron; Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth. 013 1CH 023 020 The sons of Uzziel; Micah the chief, and Isshiah 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 only: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them [to wife]. 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 their fathers’ houses, even the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of those of them that were counted, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from twenty years old and upward. 013 1CH 023 025 For David said, The LORD, the God of Israel, hath given rest unto his people; and he dwelleth in Jerusalem for ever: 013 1CH 023 026 and also the Levites shall no more have need to carry the tabernacle and all the vessels of it for the service thereof. 013 1CH 023 027 For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered, from twenty years old and upward. 013 1CH 023 028 For 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, even the work of the service of the house of God; 013 1CH 023 029 for the shewbread also, and for the fine flour for a meal offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked in the pan, or of that which is soaked, and for all manner of measure and size; 013 1CH 023 030 and to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even; 013 1CH 023 031 and to offer all burnt offerings unto the LORD, in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feast, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before the LORD: 013 1CH 023 032 and that they should keep the charge of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, for the service of the house of the LORD. 013 1CH 024 001 And the courses of the sons of Aaron [were these]. 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 office. 013 1CH 024 003 And David with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their ordering 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: of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen, heads of father’s houses; and of the sons of Ithamar, according to their fathers’ houses, eight. 013 1CH 024 005 Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for there were princes of the sanctuary, and princes of God, both of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar. 013 1CH 024 006 And Shemaiah the son of Nethanel the scribe, who was of the Levites, wrote them in the presence of the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of the priests and of the Levites: one fathers’ house 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 Happizzez; 013 1CH 024 016 the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel; 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 This was the ordering of them in their service, to come into the house of the LORD according to the ordinance [given] unto them by the hand of Aaron their father, as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded him. 013 1CH 024 020 And of the rest of the sons of Levi: of the sons of Amram, Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah. 013 1CH 024 021 Of Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, Isshiah the chief. 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 chief], Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth. 013 1CH 024 024 The sons of Uzziel, Micah; of the sons of Micah, Shamir. 013 1CH 024 025 The brother of Micah, Isshiah: of the sons of Isshiah, Zechariah. 013 1CH 024 026 The sons of Merari; Mahli and Mushi: the sons of Jaaziah; Beno. 013 1CH 024 027 The sons of Merari; of Jaaziah, Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri. 013 1CH 024 028 Of Mahli; Eleazar, who had no sons. 013 1CH 024 029 Of Kish; the sons of Kish, Jerahmeel. 013 1CH 024 030 And the sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites after their fathers’ houses. 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 fathers’ [houses] of the priests and of the Levites; the fathers’ [houses] of the chief even as those of his younger brother. 013 1CH 025 001 Moreover David and the captains of the host separated for the service certain 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 them that did the work according to their service was: 013 1CH 025 002 of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asharelah, the sons of Asaph; under the hand of Asaph, who prophesied after 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 with the harp, who prophesied in giving thanks and praising 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, 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 for song in the house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God; Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman being under the order of the king. 013 1CH 025 007 And the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in singing unto the LORD, even all that were skilful, was two hundred fourscore and eight. 013 1CH 025 008 And they cast lots for their charges, all alike, 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; he and his brethren and sons were twelve: 013 1CH 025 010 the third to Zaccur, his sons and his brethren, twelve: 013 1CH 025 011 the fourth to Izri, his sons and his brethren, twelve: 013 1CH 025 012 the fifth to Nethaniah, his sons and his brethren, twelve: 013 1CH 025 013 the sixth to Bukkiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve: 013 1CH 025 014 the seventh to Jesharelah, his sons and his brethren, twelve: 013 1CH 025 015 the eighth to Jeshaiah, his sons mad his brethren, twelve: 013 1CH 025 016 the ninth to Mattaniah, his sons and his brethren, twelve: 013 1CH 025 017 the tenth to Shimei, his sons and his brethren, twelve: 013 1CH 025 018 the eleventh to Azarel, his sons and his brethren, twelve: 013 1CH 025 019 the twelfth to Hashabiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve: 013 1CH 025 020 for the thirteenth, Shubael, his sons and his brethren, twelve: 013 1CH 025 021 for the fourteenth, Mattithiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve: 013 1CH 025 022 for the fifteenth to Jeremoth, his sons and his brethren, twelve: 013 1CH 025 023 for the sixteenth to Hananiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve: 013 1CH 025 024 for the seventeenth to Joshbekashah, his sons and his brethren, twelve: 013 1CH 025 025 for the eighteenth to Hanani, his sons and his brethren, twelve: 013 1CH 025 026 for the nineteenth to Mallothi, his sons and his brethren, twelve: 013 1CH 025 027 for the twentieth to Eliathah, his sons and his brethren, twelve: 013 1CH 025 028 for the one and twentieth to Hothir, his sons and his brethren, twelve: 013 1CH 025 029 for the two and twentieth to Giddalti, his sons and his brethren, twelve: 013 1CH 025 030 for the three and twentieth to Mahazioth, his sons and his brethren, twelve: 013 1CH 025 031 for the four and twentieth to Romamti-ezer, his sons and his brethren, twelve. 013 1CH 026 001 For the courses of the doorkeepers: of the Korahites; Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph. 013 1CH 026 002 And Meshelemiah had sons; Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth; 013 1CH 026 003 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Eliehoenai the seventh. 013 1CH 026 004 And Obed-edom had sons; Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethanel the fifth; 013 1CH 026 005 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peullethai the eighth: for God blessed him. 013 1CH 026 006 Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born, that ruled over 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 valiant men, Elihu, and Semachiah. 013 1CH 026 008 All these were of the sons of Obed-edom: they and their sons and their brethren, able men in strength for the service; threescore and two of Obed-edom. 013 1CH 026 009 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, valiant men, eighteen. 013 1CH 026 010 Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons; Shimri the chief, (for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him 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 Of these were the courses of the doorkeepers, even of the chief men, having charges like as their brethren, 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 their fathers’ houses, for every gate. 013 1CH 026 014 And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a discreet counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward. 013 1CH 026 015 To Obed-edom southward; and to his sons the storehouse. 013 1CH 026 016 To Shuppim and Hosah westward, by the gate of Shallecheth, at the causeway that goeth up, ward against ward. 013 1CH 026 017 Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward four a day, and for the storehouse two and two. 013 1CH 026 018 For Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar. 013 1CH 026 019 These were the courses of the doorkeepers; of the sons of the Korahites, and of 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 The sons of Ladan; the sons of the Gershonites belonging to Ladan, the heads of the fathers’ [houses] belonging to Ladan the Gershonite; Jehieli. 013 1CH 026 022 The sons of Jehieli; Zetham, and Joel his brother, over the treasuries of the house of the LORD. 013 1CH 026 023 Of the Amramites, of the Izharites, of the Hebronites, of the Uzzielites: 013 1CH 026 024 and Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler over the treasuries. 013 1CH 026 025 And his brethren; of Eliezer [came] Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomoth his son. 013 1CH 026 026 This Shelomoth and his brethren were over all the treasuries of the dedicated things, which David the king, and the heads of the fathers’ [houses], the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the host, had dedicated. 013 1CH 026 027 Out of the spoil won in battles did they dedicate to repair 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; whosoever had dedicated any thing, it was under the hand of Shelomoth, 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 Of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brethren, men of valour, a thousand and seven hundred, had the oversight of Israel beyond Jordan westward; for all the business of the LORD, and for the service of the king. 013 1CH 026 031 Of the Hebronites was Jerijah the chief, even of the Hebronites, according to their generations by fathers’ [houses]. 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, heads of fathers’ [houses], whom king David made overseers over the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of the Manassites, for every matter pertaining to God, and for the affairs of the king. 013 1CH 027 001 Now the children of Israel after their number, [to wit], the heads of fathers’ [houses] and the captains of thousands and of 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 [He was] of the children of Perez, 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 the Ahohite, and his course; and Mikloth the ruler: and in his course 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 the priest, chief: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 013 1CH 027 006 This is that Benaiah, who was the mighty man of the thirty, and over the thirty: and of 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 Zerahites: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 013 1CH 027 012 The ninth [captain] for the ninth month was Abiezer the Anathothite, 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 Zerahites: 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: of the Reubenites was Eliezer the son of Zichri the ruler: of the Simeonites, Shephatiah the son of Maacah: 013 1CH 027 017 of Levi, Hashabiah the son of Kemuel: of Aaron, 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, Jeremoth 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, Azarel the son of Jeroham. These were the captains 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 to the stars of heaven. 013 1CH 027 024 Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but finished not; and there came wrath for this upon Israel; neither was the number put into the account in the chronicles of king David; 013 1CH 027 025 And over the king’s treasuries was Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the treasuries in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the castles, was Jonathan 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: and 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 sycomore trees that were in the lowland was Baal-hanan 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 and over the camels was Obil the Ishmaelite: and over the asses was Jehdeiah the Meronothite: 013 1CH 027 031 and over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagrite. 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 man of understanding, 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 friend: 013 1CH 027 034 and after Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar: and the captain of the king’s host was Joab. 013 1CH 028 001 And David assembled all the prices of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that served the king by course, and the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, and the rulers over all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officers, and the mighty men, even all the mighty men of valour, unto Jerusalem. 013 1CH 028 002 Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: as for me, it was in mine heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God; and I had made ready for the building. 013 1CH 028 003 But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build an house for my name, because thou art a man of war, and hast shed blood. 013 1CH 028 004 Howbeit the LORD, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah to be prince; and in 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 unto 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 And I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he 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, observe and seek out all the commandments of the LORD your God: that ye may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance to 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 seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou 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 [of the temple], and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper rooms thereof, and of the inner chambers thereof, and of the place of the mercy-seat: 013 1CH 028 012 and the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, for the courts of the house of the LORD, and for all the chambers round about, for the treasuries of the house of God, and for 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 of gold by weight for the [vessels of] gold, for all vessels of every kind of service; [of silver] for all the vessels of silver by weight, for all vessels of every kind of service: 013 1CH 028 015 by weight also for the candlesticks of gold, and for the lamps thereof, of gold, by weight for every candlestick and for the lamps thereof, and for the candlesticks of silver, [silver] by weight for [every] candlestick and for the lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick: 013 1CH 028 016 and the gold by weight for the tables of shewbread, for every table; and silver for the tables of silver: 013 1CH 028 017 and the fleshhooks, and the basons, and the cups, of pure gold: and for the golden bowls by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls by weight for every bowl: 013 1CH 028 018 and for the altar of incense refined gold by weight: and gold for the pattern of the chariot, [even] 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], have I been made to understand in writing from the hand of the LORD, 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, is with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until all the work for the service of the house of the LORD be finished. 013 1CH 028 021 And, behold, there are the courses of the priests and the Levites, for all the service of the house of God: and there shall be with thee in all manner of work every willing man that hath skill, for any manner of service: also the captains and all the people will be wholly at thy commandment. 013 1CH 029 001 And David the king said unto 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 the [things of] gold, and the silver for the [things of] silver, and the brass for the [things of] brass, the iron for the [things of] iron, and wood for the [things of] wood; onyx stones, and [stones] to be set, stones for inlaid work, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance. 013 1CH 029 003 Moreover also, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, seeing that I have a treasure of mine own of gold and silver, I give it unto 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 withal: 013 1CH 029 005 of gold for the [things of] gold, and of silver for the [things of] silver, and for all manner of work [to be made] by the hands of artificers. Who then offereth willingly to consecrate himself this day unto the LORD? 013 1CH 029 006 Then the princes of the fathers’ [houses], and the 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 they gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand darics, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and of iron a hundred thousand talents. 013 1CH 029 008 And they with whom [precious] stones were found gave them to the treasure of the house of the LORD, under the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite. 013 1CH 029 009 Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with a perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy. 013 1CH 029 010 Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, O LORD, the 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 in 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 of thee, and thou rulest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto 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 of thee, and of thine own have we given thee. 013 1CH 029 015 For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as all our fathers were: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no abiding. 013 1CH 029 016 O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee an house for thine holy name cometh of thine hand, and is all thine 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 mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee. 013 1CH 029 018 O LORD, the God of Abraham, of 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 unto thee: 013 1CH 029 019 and give unto 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 the 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, the God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the king. 013 1CH 029 021 And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings unto the LORD, on the morrow after that day, even a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel; 013 1CH 029 022 and did eat and drink before the LORD on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him unto the LORD to be prince, 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 unto 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 Now 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 reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three [years] reigned he 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 history of Samuel the seer, and in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the history 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 And Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers’ [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 tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness. 014 2CH 001 004 But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-jearim to [the place] that David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. 014 2CH 001 005 Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it. 014 2CH 001 006 And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the LORD, which was at the tent of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it. 014 2CH 001 007 In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee. 014 2CH 001 008 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great kindness unto David my father, and hast made me king in his stead. 014 2CH 001 009 Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto 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 people, that is so great? 014 2CH 001 011 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of them that hate thee; 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 is granted unto 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 So Solomon came [from his journey] to the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting, unto Jerusalem; and he 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 to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance. 014 2CH 001 016 And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; the king’s merchants received them in droves, each drove 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 for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means. 014 2CH 002 001 Now Solomon purposed to build an house for the name of the LORD, and an house for his kingdom. 014 2CH 002 002 And Solomon told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand men that were hewers in the mountains, 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 therein, [even so deal with me]. 014 2CH 002 004 Behold, I build an house for the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him incense of sweet spices, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set 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 the heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn incense before him? 014 2CH 002 007 Now therefore send me a man cunning to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can skill to grave [all manner of] gravings, [to be] with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide. 014 2CH 002 008 Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon: for I know that thy servants can 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 wonderful great. 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 loveth his people, he hath made thee king over them. 014 2CH 002 012 Huram said moreover, Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with discretion and understanding, that should build an house for the LORD, and an house for his kingdom. 014 2CH 002 013 And now I have sent a cunning 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 grave any manner of graving, and to devise any device: that there may be [a place] appointed unto him with thy cunning men, and with the cunning 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 unto 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 shalt carry it up to Jerusalem. 014 2CH 002 017 And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering wherewith 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 threescore, and ten thousand of them to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand that were hewers in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people awork. 014 2CH 003 001 Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where [the LORD] appeared unto David his father, which he made ready in the place that David had appointed, in the threshing-floor 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 foundations which Solomon laid for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. 014 2CH 003 004 And the porch that was before [the house], the length of it, according to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and the height an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold. 014 2CH 003 005 And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and wrought thereon palm trees and chains: 014 2CH 003 006 And he garnished 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 thresholds, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubim on the walls. 014 2CH 003 008 And he made the most holy house; the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof 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 they overlaid them with gold. 014 2CH 003 011 And the wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long: the 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 the 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 toward the house. 014 2CH 003 014 And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubim thereon. 014 2CH 003 015 Also he made before the house two pillars, of thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them was five cubits. 014 2CH 003 016 And he made chains in the oracle, and put [them] on the tops of the pillars; and he made an hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains. 014 2CH 003 017 And he set up 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 thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof. 014 2CH 004 002 Also he made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and the height thereof was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about. 014 2CH 004 003 And under it was the similitude of oxen, which did compass it round about, for ten cubits, compassing the sea round about. The oxen were in two rows, 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 upon them above, and all their hinder parts were inward. 014 2CH 004 005 And it was an handbreadth thick; and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: 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 belonged to the burnt offering they washed in them: but the sea was for the priests to wash in. 014 2CH 004 007 And he made the ten candlesticks of gold according to the ordinance concerning them; and he 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 basons 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 house] eastward, toward the south. 014 2CH 004 011 And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basons. So Huram made an end of doing the work that he wrought for king Solomon in the house of God: 014 2CH 004 012 the two pillars, and the bowls, and the two chapiters which were on the top of the pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the pillars; 014 2CH 004 013 and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were upon the pillars. 014 2CH 004 014 He made also the bases, and the layers made he upon the bases; 014 2CH 004 015 one sea, and the twelve oxen under it. 014 2CH 004 016 The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks, and all the vessels thereof, did Huram his father make for 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 Zeredah. 014 2CH 004 018 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out. 014 2CH 004 019 And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon was the shewbread; 014 2CH 004 020 and the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should burn according to the ordinance before the oracle, of pure gold; 014 2CH 004 021 and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold, and that perfect gold; 014 2CH 004 022 and the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the firepans, of pure gold: and as for the entry of the house, the inner doors thereof for the most holy place, and the doors of the house, [to wit], of the temple, were of gold. 014 2CH 005 001 Thus all the work that Solomon wrought for the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels, and put them ha 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 princes of the fathers’ houses of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion. 014 2CH 005 003 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king at 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 tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; these did the priests the Levites bring up. 014 2CH 005 006 And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude. 014 2CH 005 007 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto its place, into the oracle of the house, to 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 staves thereof above: 014 2CH 005 009 And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without: and there it is, unto this day. 014 2CH 005 010 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put there 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 were come out of the holy place, (for all the priests that were present had sanctified themselves, and did not keep their courses; 014 2CH 005 012 also the Levites which were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brethren, arrayed in fine linen, with 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, when 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 filled the house of God. 014 2CH 006 001 Then spake Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness. 014 2CH 006 002 But I have built thee an house of habitation, and a place for thee to dwell in for ever. 014 2CH 006 003 And the king turned his face, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood. 014 2CH 006 004 And he said, Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hands fulfilled it, saying, 014 2CH 006 005 Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be prince 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, the God of Israel. 014 2CH 006 008 But the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart: 014 2CH 006 009 nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name. 014 2CH 006 010 And the LORD hath performed his word that he spake; for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel. 014 2CH 006 011 And there have I set the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, which 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 down upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven: ) 014 2CH 006 014 and he said, O LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in the heaven, or in the earth; who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants, that walk before thee with all their heart: 014 2CH 006 015 who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him: yea, thou spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day. 014 2CH 006 016 Now therefore, O LORD, the 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 on the throne of Israel; if only thy children take heed to their way, to walk in my law as thou hast walked before me. 014 2CH 006 017 Now therefore, O LORD, the God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David. 014 2CH 006 018 But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have builded! 014 2CH 006 019 Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee: 014 2CH 006 020 that thine eyes may be open toward this house day and night, even toward the place whereof thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall pray toward this place. 014 2CH 006 021 And hearken thou to the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: yea, hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive. 014 2CH 006 022 If a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and he come [and] swear before thine altar in this house: 014 2CH 006 023 then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, requiting the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness. 014 2CH 006 024 And if thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall turn again and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house: 014 2CH 006 025 then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto 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; 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 in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teachest them the good way wherein 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 be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting or mildew, locust or caterpiller; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague or whatsoever sickness there be; 014 2CH 006 029 what prayer and supplication soever be made by any man or by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house: 014 2CH 006 030 then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even 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 unto our fathers. 014 2CH 006 032 Moreover concerning the stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come from a far country for thy great name’s sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy stretched out arm; when they shall come and pay toward this house: 014 2CH 006 033 then hear thou from heaven, even from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all the peoples of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built, is called by thy name. 014 2CH 006 034 If thy people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatsoever way thou shalt send them, and they pray unto 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 heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause. 014 2CH 006 036 If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not, ) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive unto a land far off or near; 014 2CH 006 037 yet if they shall bethink themselves, in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have dealt wickedly; 014 2CH 006 038 if they return unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captive, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and 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 heaven, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause; and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee. 014 2CH 006 040 Now, O my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent, unto 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 thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant. 014 2CH 007 001 Now when Solomon had made an end of 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 filled the LORD’S house. 014 2CH 007 003 And all the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD was upon the house; and they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and gave thanks unto 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 sacrifice 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, according to their offices; the Levites also with instruments of music of the LORD, which David the king had made to give thanks unto the LORD, for 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 the burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brasen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat. 014 2CH 007 008 So Solomon held the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the brook of Egypt. 014 2CH 007 009 And on the eighth day they held 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 mouth he sent the people away unto their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that the LORD had shewed unto 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 unto 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 locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 014 2CH 007 014 if my people, which 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 mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent, unto the prayer that is made in this place. 014 2CH 007 016 For now have I chosen and hallowed this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine 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 wilt keep my statutes and my judgments; 014 2CH 007 018 then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I 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 hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples. 014 2CH 007 021 And this house, which is so high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and to this house? 014 2CH 007 022 And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, which brought them forth 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, wherein Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house, 014 2CH 008 002 that the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwelt there. 014 2CH 008 003 And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, 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 Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, and bars; 014 2CH 008 006 and Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in 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, which were not of Israel; 014 2CH 008 008 of their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, of them did Solomon raise a levy [of bondservants], unto 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 rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen. 014 2CH 008 010 And these were the chief officers of king Solomon, even two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over the people, 014 2CH 008 011 And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto 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, whereunto the ark of the LORD hath come. 014 2CH 008 012 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch, 014 2CH 008 013 even 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 set 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 ordinance of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise, and to minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required: the doorkeepers 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 unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures. 014 2CH 008 016 Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto 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 Ezion-geber, and to Eloth, on the sea shore in the land of Edom. 014 2CH 008 018 And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they came with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and fetched from thence 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 prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great train, and camels that bare spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart. 014 2CH 009 002 And Solomon told her all her questions: and there was not any thing 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 meat 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 unto 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 that I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom. 014 2CH 009 006 Howbeit I believed not their words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me: thou exceedest the fame that I heard. 014 2CH 009 007 Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom. 014 2CH 009 008 Blessed be the LORD thy God, which 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 made he 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 spices in 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, which brought gold from Ophir; brought algum trees and precious stones. 014 2CH 009 011 And the king made of the algum trees terraces for the house of the LORD, and for the king’s house, and harps and psalteries for the 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, whatsoever she asked, beside that which she had brought unto the king. So she turned, and went 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 threescore and six talents of gold; 014 2CH 009 014 beside that which the chapmen and merchants brought: and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon. 014 2CH 009 015 And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred [shekels] of beaten gold went to one target. 014 2CH 009 016 And [he made] three hundred shields 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 either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside 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 king Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: silver was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon. 014 2CH 009 021 For the king had ships that 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 So king Solomon exceeded 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, which God had put in his heart. 014 2CH 009 024 And they brought very man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year. 014 2CH 009 025 And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. 014 2CH 009 026 And he ruled over all the kings from the River even unto the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt. 014 2CH 009 027 And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance. 014 2CH 009 028 And they brought horses for Solomon out of Egypt, and out of all lands. 014 2CH 009 029 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the history 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 all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king. 014 2CH 010 002 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it, (for he was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, ) that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt. 014 2CH 010 003 And they sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spake to Rehoboam, saying, 014 2CH 010 004 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. 014 2CH 010 005 And he said unto them, Come again unto 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 spake unto him, saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants forever. 014 2CH 010 008 But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men that were grown up with him, that stood before him. 014 2CH 010 009 And he said unto them, What counsel give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke that thy father did put upon us lighter? 014 2CH 010 010 And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou say unto the people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger is thicker than my father’s loins. 014 2CH 010 011 And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add 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 the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come to me again 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 spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I [will chastise you] with scorpions. 014 2CH 010 015 So the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was brought about of God, that the LORD might establish his word, which he spake 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 hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So all Israel departed unto 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, who was over the levy; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. And king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem. 014 2CH 010 019 So Israel rebelled against the house of David, unto this day. 014 2CH 011 001 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against Israel, to 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 unto 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 of me. So they hearkened unto 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 Beth-lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa, 014 2CH 011 007 And Beth-zur, and Soco, 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, fenced cities. 014 2CH 011 011 And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and oil and wine. 014 2CH 011 012 And in every several city [he put] shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong. And Judah and Benjamin belonged to him. 014 2CH 011 013 And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their border. 014 2CH 011 014 For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, that they should not execute the priest’s office unto the LORD: 014 2CH 011 015 and he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the he-goats, 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, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice unto the LORD, the 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 they walked three years in the way of David and Solomon. 014 2CH 011 018 And Rehoboam took him a wife; Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, [and of] Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse; 014 2CH 011 019 and she bare him sons; Jeush, and Shemariah, and Zaham. 014 2CH 011 020 And after her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom; and she bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith. 014 2CH 011 021 And Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines, and begat twenty and eight sons and threescore daughters.) 014 2CH 011 022 And Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, [even] the prince among his brethren: for [he was minded] to make him king. 014 2CH 011 023 And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fenced city: and he gave them victual in abundance. And he sought [for them] many wives. 014 2CH 012 001 And it came to pass, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him. 014 2CH 012 002 And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against the LORD, 014 2CH 012 003 with twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians. 014 2CH 012 004 And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came unto Jerusalem. 014 2CH 012 005 Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak. 014 2CH 012 006 Then 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; 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 away: he took away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made. 014 2CH 012 010 And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, that kept the door of the king’s house. 014 2CH 012 011 And it was so, that as oft as the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and bare them, and brought them back 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 moreover in Judah there were good things [found]. 014 2CH 012 013 So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was forty and one 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 the Ammonitess. 014 2CH 012 014 And he did that which was evil, because he set 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 histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the manner of 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 In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah. 014 2CH 013 002 Three years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. 014 2CH 013 003 And Abijah joined battle with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, who were mighty men of valour. 014 2CH 013 004 And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel; 014 2CH 013 005 Ought ye not to know that the LORD, the 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, rose up, and rebelled against his lord. 014 2CH 013 007 And there were gathered unto him vain men, sons of Belial, which strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender-hearted, 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 be a great multitude, and there are with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods. 014 2CH 013 009 Have ye not driven out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the peoples of [other] lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock 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 [we have] priests ministering unto the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work: 014 2CH 013 011 and they burn unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet incense: the shewbread also [set they] in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, 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 is with us at our head, and his priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD, the God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper. 014 2CH 013 013 But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them. 014 2CH 013 014 And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them: and they cried unto 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 brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD, the God of their fathers. 014 2CH 013 019 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Beth-el with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephron with the towns thereof. 014 2CH 013 020 Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the LORD smote him, and he died. 014 2CH 013 021 But Abijah waxed mighty, and took unto himself 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 commentary 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 strange altars, and the high places, and brake down the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim; 014 2CH 014 004 and commanded Judah to seek the LORD, the 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 sun-images: and the kingdom was quiet before him. 014 2CH 014 006 And he built fenced cities in Judah: for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest. 014 2CH 014 007 For he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars; 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 that bare bucklers and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bare shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand: an these were mighty men of valour. 014 2CH 014 009 And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an army of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and he came unto Mareshah. 014 2CH 014 010 Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. 014 2CH 014 011 And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, there is none beside thee to help, between the mighty and him that hath no strength: help us, O LORD our God; for we rely on thee, and in thy name are we come against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee; 014 2CH 014 012 So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled. 014 2CH 014 013 And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and there fell of the Ethiopians so many that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD, and before his host; and they carried away very much booty. 014 2CH 014 014 And they smote all the cities round shout Gerar; for the fear of the LORD came upon them: and they spoiled all the cities; for there was much spoil in them: 014 2CH 014 015 They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep in abundance and camels, 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 unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: the LORD is with you, while ye be 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 long seasons Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law: 014 2CH 015 004 But when in their distress they turned unto the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of 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 lands. 014 2CH 015 006 And they were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city: for God did vex them with all adversity. 014 2CH 015 007 But be ye strong, and let not your hands be slack: 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 abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from the hill country of Ephraim; and he renewed 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 them that sojourned with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, 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 sacrificed unto the LORD in that day, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep. 014 2CH 015 012 And they entered into the covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul; 014 2CH 015 013 and that whosoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. 014 2CH 015 014 And they sware unto 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 of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about. 014 2CH 015 016 And also Maacah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and made dust of 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 unto 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 went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah. 014 2CH 016 002 Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king’s house, and sent to Ben-hadad 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 Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-maim, and all the store cities of Naphtali. 014 2CH 016 005 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off 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 thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah. 014 2CH 016 007 And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and hast not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine hand. 014 2CH 016 008 Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge host, with chariots and horsemen exceeding many? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, he delivered them into thine hand. 014 2CH 016 009 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly; for from henceforth thou shalt have wars. 014 2CH 016 010 Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in the 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 in the thirty and ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet; his disease was exceeding great: 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 hewn out for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds [of spices] prepared by the apothecaries’ 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 fenced 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 unto the Baalim; 014 2CH 017 004 but sought to the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel. 014 2CH 017 005 Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance. 014 2CH 017 006 And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: and furthermore he took away the high places and the Asherim out of Judah. 014 2CH 017 007 Also in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben-hail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah; 014 2CH 017 008 and with them the Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests. 014 2CH 017 009 And they taught in Judah, having the book of the law of the LORD with them; and they went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught among the people. 014 2CH 017 010 And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat. 014 2CH 017 011 And some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and silver for tribute; the Arabians also brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he-goats. 014 2CH 017 012 And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles and cities of store. 014 2CH 017 013 And he had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valour, in Jerusalem. 014 2CH 017 014 And this was the numbering of them according to their fathers’ houses: of Judah, the captains of thousands; Adnah the captain, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand: 014 2CH 017 015 and next to him Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand: 014 2CH 017 016 and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto 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 two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield: 014 2CH 017 018 and next to him Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for war. 014 2CH 017 019 These were they that waited on the king, beside those whom the king put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah. 014 2CH 018 001 Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance; and he joined affinity with Ahab. 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 were with him, and moved him to go up [with him] to Ramoth-gilead. 014 2CH 018 003 And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth-gilead? 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 unto the king of Israel; Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD today. 014 2CH 018 005 When the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God shall deliver it into the hand of the king. 014 2CH 018 006 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here besides a prophet of the LORD, that we might inquire of him? 014 2CH 018 007 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesieth good concerning 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 Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla. 014 2CH 018 009 Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, arrayed 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 made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the LORD, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until they be consumed. 014 2CH 018 011 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, 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 spake to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets [declare] good to the king with one mouth: 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, what my God saith, that will I speak. 014 2CH 018 014 And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead 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 speak unto me nothing but the truth in the name of the LORD? 014 2CH 018 016 And 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 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 concerning me, but evil? 014 2CH 018 018 And he said, Therefore hear ye 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 Ramoth-gilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner. 014 2CH 018 020 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? 014 2CH 018 021 And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt entice him, and shalt prevail also: go forth, and do 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 concerning 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 unto 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 And the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back unto 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 fellow 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 return at all in peace, the LORD hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, ye peoples, all of you. 014 2CH 018 028 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead. 014 2CH 018 029 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went into the battle. 014 2CH 018 030 Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save 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 turned about to fight against him: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God moved them [to depart] from him. 014 2CH 018 032 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him. 014 2CH 018 033 And a certain man drew his bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said to the driver of the chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am sore wounded. 014 2CH 018 034 And the battle increased that day: howbeit the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even: and about the time of the going down of the sun 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? for this thing wrath is upon thee from before the LORD. 014 2CH 019 003 Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast put away the Asheroth out of the land, and hast set thine heart to seek God. 014 2CH 019 004 And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again among the people from Beer-sheba to the hill country of Ephraim, and brought them back unto the LORD, the God of their fathers. 014 2CH 019 005 And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city, 014 2CH 019 006 and said to the judges, Consider what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the LORD; and [he is] with you in the judgment. 014 2CH 019 007 Now therefore 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 gifts. 014 2CH 019 008 Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites and the priests, and of the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of Israel, for the judgment of the LORD, and for controversies. And 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 whensoever any controversy shall come to you from your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, ye shall warn them, that they be not guilty towards the LORD, and so wrath come upon you and upon your brethren: this do, and ye shall not be guilty. 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, in all the king’s matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and the LORD be with the good. 014 2CH 020 001 And it came to pass after this, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them some of 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 from Syria; and, behold, they be in Hazazon-tamar (the same is En-gedi). 014 2CH 020 003 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek unto the LORD; and he proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. 014 2CH 020 004 And Judah gathered themselves together, to seek [help] of the LORD: even out of 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 he said, O LORD, the God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and art not thou ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? and in thine hand is power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee. 014 2CH 020 007 Didst not thou, O our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever? 014 2CH 020 008 And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying, 014 2CH 020 009 If evil come upon us, the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we will stand before this house, and before thee, (for thy name is in this house, ) and cry unto thee in our affliction, and thou wilt hear and save. 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 out of the land of Egypt, but they turned aside from them, and destroyed them not; 014 2CH 020 011 behold, 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, the 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 unto you, Fear not ye, neither be dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s. 014 2CH 020 016 Tomorrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the ascent of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the valley, 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: tomorrow go out against them; for the LORD is 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 down 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 Korahites, stood up to praise the LORD, the God of Israel, with an exceeding loud voice. 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 taken counsel with the people, he appointed them that should sing unto the LORD, and praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and say, Give thanks unto the LORD; for his mercy [endureth] for ever. 014 2CH 020 022 And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set liers in wait against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which 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 to the watch-tower of the wilderness, they looked upon the multitude; and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and there were none that escaped. 014 2CH 020 025 And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches and dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in taking of the spoil, it was so much. 014 2CH 020 026 And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Beracah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of that place was called The valley of Beracah, unto this day. 014 2CH 020 027 Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront 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 unto the house of the LORD. 014 2CH 020 029 And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the countries, when they 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 round about. 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 turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD. 014 2CH 020 033 Howbeit the high places were not taken away; neither as yet had the people set their hearts unto 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 history of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is inserted in the book of the kings of Israel. 014 2CH 020 035 And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel; the same 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 Ezion-geber. 014 2CH 020 037 Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORD hath destroyed thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish. 014 2CH 021 001 And 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 fenced cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn. 014 2CH 021 004 Now when Jehoram was risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he slew all his brethren with the sword, and divers 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 to wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD. 014 2CH 021 007 Howbeit 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 lamp to him and to his children alway. 014 2CH 021 008 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves. 014 2CH 021 009 Then Jehoram passed over with his captains, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots. 014 2CH 021 010 So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, unto this day: then did Libnah revolt at the same time from under his hand: because he had forsaken the LORD, the God of his fathers. 014 2CH 021 011 Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, and led Judah astray. 014 2CH 021 012 And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD, the 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 go a whoring, like as the house of Ahab did; and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father’s house, which were better than thyself: 014 2CH 021 014 behold, the LORD will smite with a great plague thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy substance: 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 And the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians which are beside the Ethiopians: 014 2CH 021 017 and they came up against Judah, and brake 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 never a son left him, save 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, in process of time, at the end of two years, that his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died of sore 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 he departed without being desired; and 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: and his mother’s name 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 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did 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 Ramoth-gilead: and the Syrians wounded Joram. 014 2CH 022 006 And he returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick. 014 2CH 022 007 Now the destruction of Ahaziah was of God, in that he went unto Joram: for when he was 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, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, that he found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, ministering to Ahaziah, and slew them. 014 2CH 022 009 And he sought Ahaziah, and they caught him, (now he was hiding in Samaria, ) and they brought him to Jehu, and slew him; and they buried him, for they said; He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart. And the house of Ahaziah had no power to hold the kingdom. 014 2CH 022 010 Now 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 away from among the king’s sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in the 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 fathers’ [houses] 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 unto them, Behold, the king’s son shall reign, as the LORD hath spoken concerning the sons of David. 014 2CH 023 004 This is the thing that ye shall do: a third part of you, that come in 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, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall come in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD. 014 2CH 023 007 And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever cometh into the house, let him be slain: and 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 that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men, those that were to come in on the sabbath, with those that were to go out on the sabbath; for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses. 014 2CH 023 009 And Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the 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 with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, by the king round about. 014 2CH 023 011 Then they brought out the king’s son, and put the crown upon him, and [gave him] the testimony, and made him king: and Jehoiada and his sons anointed him; and they said, God save the king. 014 2CH 023 012 And 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 by his pillar at the entrance, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets; the singers also [played] on instruments of music, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, treason. 014 2CH 023 014 And Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth between the ranks; and whoso 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 made way for her; and she went to the entry of the horse gate to the king’s house: and they slew her there. 014 2CH 023 016 And Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, and all the people, and the king, that they should be the LORD’S people. 014 2CH 023 017 And all the people went to the house of Baal, and brake it down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. 014 2CH 023 018 And Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD under 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, according to the order of David. 014 2CH 023 019 And he set the porters at the gates of the house of the LORD, that none which was unclean in any thing should enter in. 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 upper gate unto the king’s house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom. 014 2CH 023 021 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet: and they slew 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: and his mother’s name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba. 014 2CH 024 002 And Joash did that which was right in the eyes 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 restore the house of the LORD. 014 2CH 024 005 And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened it not. 014 2CH 024 006 And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tax of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tent of the testimony? 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 did they bestow upon the Baalim. 014 2CH 024 008 So the king commanded, and 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 for the LORD the tax 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 made an end. 014 2CH 024 011 And it was so, that at what time the chest was brought unto 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 chief 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 gathered 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 they hired masons and carpenters to restore the house of the LORD, and also such as wrought iron and brass to repair the house of the LORD. 014 2CH 024 013 So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set up the house of God in its state, and strengthened it. 014 2CH 024 014 And when they had made an end, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of the LORD, even vessels to minister, and to offer withal, 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 waxed old and was full of days, and 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, and toward God and 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 unto them. 014 2CH 024 018 And they forsook the house of the LORD, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherim and the idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltiness. 014 2CH 024 019 Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto 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; and he stood above the people, and said unto 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 the Syrians 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 unto 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, the God of their fathers. So they executed judgment upon Joash. 014 2CH 024 025 And when they were 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 the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess. 014 2CH 024 027 Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens [laid] upon him, and the rebuilding of the house of God, behold, they are written in the commentary 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 eyes of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart. 014 2CH 025 003 Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established unto him, that he slew his servants which had killed the king his father. 014 2CH 025 004 But he put not their children to death, but did according to that which is written in the law in the book of Moses, as 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 ordered them according to their fathers’ houses, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, even all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upward, and found them three hundred thousand chosen 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, [to wit], with all the children of Ephraim. 014 2CH 025 008 But if thou wilt go, do [valiantly], be strong for the battle: God shall cast thee down 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, [to wit], the army that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger. 014 2CH 025 011 And Amaziah took courage, 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 did the children of Judah carry away alive, and brought them unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they all were broken in pieces. 014 2CH 025 013 But the men of the army which Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Beth-horon, and smote of them three thousand, and took much spoil. 014 2CH 025 014 Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was 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 down himself before them, and burned incense unto them. 014 2CH 025 015 Wherefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which have not delivered their own people out of thine hand? 014 2CH 025 016 And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that [the king] said unto him, Have we made thee of the king’s counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto 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 to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon; and trode down the thistle. 014 2CH 025 019 Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten Edom; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to [thy] hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee? 014 2CH 025 020 But Amaziah would not hear; for it was of God, that he might deliver them into the hand [of their enemies], because they had sought after the gods of Edom. 014 2CH 025 021 So Joash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah. 014 2CH 025 022 And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to his tent. 014 2CH 025 023 And Joash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubits. 014 2CH 025 024 And [he took] all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obed-edom, 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 from the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent after him to Lachish, 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 And all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah. 014 2CH 026 002 He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that 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: and his mother’s name was Jechiliah of Jerusalem. 014 2CH 026 004 And he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done. 014 2CH 026 005 And he set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the vision 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 brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities in [the country of] Ashdod, and among the Philistines. 014 2CH 026 007 And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Meunim. 014 2CH 026 008 And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even to the entering in of Egypt; for he waxed exceeding strong. 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 And he built towers in the wilderness, and hewed out many cisterns, for he had much cattle; in the lowland also, and in the plain: [and he had] husbandmen and vinedressers in the mountains and in the fruitful fields; for he loved husbandry. 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, made by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king’s captains. 014 2CH 026 012 The whole number of the heads of fathers’ [houses], even the mighty men of valour, was two thousand and six hundred. 014 2CH 026 013 And under their hand was a trained 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, even for all the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, and stones for slinging. 014 2CH 026 015 And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the battlements, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvelously helped, till he was strong. 014 2CH 026 016 But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up so that he did corruptly, and he trespassed against the LORD his God; for he 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 fourscore priests of the LORD, that were valiant men: 014 2CH 026 018 and they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It pertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto 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 thine honour from the LORD God. 014 2CH 026 019 Then Uzziah was wroth; and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense; and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy brake forth in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, beside the altar of incense. 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 quickly from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him. 014 2CH 026 021 And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several 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, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write. 014 2CH 026 023 So Uzziah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the field of 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: and his mother’s name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok. 014 2CH 027 002 And he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: howbeit he entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly. 014 2CH 027 003 He built the upper 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 hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers. 014 2CH 027 005 He fought also with the king of the children of Ammon, 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 render unto him, in the second year also, and in the third. 014 2CH 027 006 So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered 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, behold, 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: and he did not that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, like David his father: 014 2CH 028 002 but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for the Baalim. 014 2CH 028 003 Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel. 014 2CH 028 004 And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree. 014 2CH 028 005 Wherefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away of his a great multitude of 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, all of them valiant men; because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers. 014 2CH 028 007 And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king’s son, and Azrikam the ruler 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 took also 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 to meet the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because the LORD, the God of your fathers, was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage which hath reached up unto heaven. 014 2CH 028 010 And now ye purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen unto you: [but] are there not even with you trespasses of your own against the LORD your God? 014 2CH 028 011 Now hear me therefore, and send back the captives, 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 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 unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither: for ye purpose that which will bring upon us a trespass against the LORD, to add unto 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 which have been expressed by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto their brethren: then they returned to Samaria. 014 2CH 028 016 At that time did king Ahaz send unto 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 lowland, and of the South of Judah, and had taken Beth-shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Soco with the towns thereof, and Timnah with the towns thereof, Gimzo also and the towns thereof: and they dwelt there. 014 2CH 028 019 For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he had dealt wantonly in Judah, and trespassed sore against the LORD. 014 2CH 028 020 And Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not. 014 2CH 028 021 For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of the LORD, and out of the house of the king and of the princes, and gave it unto the king of Assyria: but it helped him not. 014 2CH 028 022 And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the LORD, this same king Ahaz. 014 2CH 028 023 For he sacrificed unto 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 together 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 him altars in every corner of Jerusalem. 014 2CH 028 025 And in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD, the God of his fathers. 014 2CH 028 026 Now the rest of his acts, and 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; for 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 eyes 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 door 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 together into the broad place on the east, 014 2CH 029 005 and said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites; now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD, the 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 sight 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 unto the God of Israel. 014 2CH 029 008 Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to be tossed to and fro, to be an astonishment, and an 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 mine heart to make a covenant with the LORD, the God of Israel, that his fierce anger 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 minister unto him, and that ye should be his ministers, 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 Jehallelel: 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 Jeuel: and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah: 014 2CH 029 014 and of the sons of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei: and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel. 014 2CH 029 015 And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and went in, 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 in unto 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 to 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 came they to the porch of the LORD; and they sanctified the house of the LORD in eight days: and on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end. 014 2CH 029 018 Then they went in to Hezekiah the king within [the palace], and said, We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the table of shewbread, with all the vessels thereof. 014 2CH 029 019 Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away when he trespassed, have we prepared and sanctified; and, behold, they are before the altar of the LORD. 014 2CH 029 020 Then Hezekiah the king arose early, and gathered the princes of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD. 014 2CH 029 021 And they brought seven bullocks; and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he-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 bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: and they killed the rams, and sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and sprinkled the blood upon the altar. 014 2CH 029 023 And they brought near the he-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 a sin offering with their blood upon the altar, to make 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 the commandment was 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, and the trumpets, together with the instruments of David king of Israel. 014 2CH 029 028 And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this [continued] until the burnt offering was finished. 014 2CH 029 029 And when they had made an end of 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 praises unto 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 unto 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 willing heart [brought] burnt offerings. 014 2CH 029 032 And the number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, 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: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the 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 with 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, because of that which God had prepared for 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 unto the LORD, the 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 in sufficient number, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem. 014 2CH 030 004 And the thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the congregation. 014 2CH 030 005 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem: for they had not kept it in great numbers in such sort as it is 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 unto the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may return to the remnant that are escaped of you out of the hand of the kings of Assyria. 014 2CH 030 007 And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the LORD, the God of their fathers, so that he gave them up to desolation, as ye see. 014 2CH 030 008 Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were; but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever, and serve the LORD your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you. 014 2CH 030 009 For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that led them captive, and shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him. 014 2CH 030 010 So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them. 014 2CH 030 011 Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem. 014 2CH 030 012 Also in Judah was the hand of God 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 much 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 took they 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 burnt offerings into the house of the LORD. 014 2CH 030 016 And they stood in their place after their order, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, [which they received] of the hand of the Levites. 014 2CH 030 017 For there were many in the congregation that had not sanctified themselves: therefore the Levites had the charge of killing the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto 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 did they eat the passover otherwise than it is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one 014 2CH 030 019 that setteth his heart to seek God, the LORD, the God of his fathers, though [he be] 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 unto the LORD. 014 2CH 030 022 And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that were well skilled [in the service] of the LORD. So they did eat throughout the feast for the seven days, offering sacrifices of peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD, the God of their fathers. 014 2CH 030 023 And the whole congregation took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept [other] seven days with gladness. 014 2CH 030 024 For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation for offerings a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks 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 out of 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 came up to his holy habitation, even unto heaven. 014 2CH 031 001 Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake in pieces the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim, and brake down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had 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, both the priests and the 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, [to wit], 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 give themselves to the law of the LORD. 014 2CH 031 005 And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel gave in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things brought they 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 dedicated things which were consecrated unto 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 oblations into the house of the LORD, we have eaten and had enough, and have left plenty: for the LORD hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store. 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 they brought in the oblations and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: and over them Conaniah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was second. 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 Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment 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 at the east [gate], 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 beside them that were reckoned by genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even every one that entered into the house of the LORD, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their charges according to their courses; 014 2CH 031 017 and them that were reckoned by genealogy of the priests by their fathers’ houses, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their courses; 014 2CH 031 018 and them that were reckoned by 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 for the sons of Aaron the priests, which were in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every several city; there were men that were expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogy among the Levites. 014 2CH 031 020 And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah; and he wrought that which was good and right and faithful 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 this faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fenced cities, and thought to win them for himself. 014 2CH 032 002 And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he was 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 without the city; and they helped him. 014 2CH 032 004 So there was gathered much people together, and they stopped all the fountains, and the brook that flowed through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come and find much water? 014 2CH 032 005 And he took courage, and built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised it up to the towers, and the other wall without, and strengthened 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 broad place at the gate of the city, and spake comfortably to them, saying, 014 2CH 032 007 Be strong and of a good courage, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there is a greater 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 did Sennacherib king of Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem, (now he was before Lachish, and all his power with him, ) unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying, 014 2CH 032 010 Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, Whereon do ye trust, that ye abide the siege in Jerusalem? 014 2CH 032 011 Doth not Hezekiah persuade you, to give you over 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 upon it shall ye burn incense? 014 2CH 032 013 Know ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all the peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the lands any ways able to deliver their land out of mine hand? 014 2CH 032 014 Who was there among all the gods of those nations which my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of mine hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of mine hand? 014 2CH 032 015 Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither believe ye him: for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of mine hand? 014 2CH 032 016 And his servants spake yet more against the LORD God, and against his servant Hezekiah. 014 2CH 032 017 He wrote also letters, to rail on the LORD, the God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of the lands which have not delivered their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand. 014 2CH 032 018 And they cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to affright them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city. 014 2CH 032 019 And they spake of the God of Jerusalem, as of the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of men’s hands. 014 2CH 032 020 And Hezekiah the king, and Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, prayed because of this, and cried to heaven. 014 2CH 032 021 And the LORD sent an angel, which 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 was come into the house of his god, they that came forth of 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 [other], and guided them on every side. 014 2CH 032 023 And many brought gifts unto the LORD to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah: so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from thenceforth. 014 2CH 032 024 In those days Hezekiah was sick even unto death: and he prayed unto the LORD; and he spake unto him, and gave him a sign. 014 2CH 032 025 But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem. 014 2CH 032 026 Notwithstanding 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 exceeding much riches and honour: and he provided him treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of goodly vessels; 014 2CH 032 028 storehouses also for the increase of corn and wine and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and flocks in folds. 014 2CH 032 029 Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance: for God had given him very much substance. 014 2CH 032 030 This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and brought them straight down on the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works. 014 2CH 032 031 Howbeit in [the business of] the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to inquire 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 good deeds, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, 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 ascent 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 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. 014 2CH 033 003 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars for the Baalim, and made Asheroth, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them. 014 2CH 033 004 And he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof the LORD said, In Jerusalem shall my name be forever. 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 He also made his Children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: and he practised augury, and used enchantments, and practised sorcery, and dealt with them that had familiar spirits, 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 the graven image of the idol, which he had made in the house of God, of which God said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of 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 off the land which I have appointed for your fathers; if only they will observe to do all that I have commanded them, even all the law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses. 014 2CH 033 009 And Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, so that they did evil more than did the nations, whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel. 014 2CH 033 010 And the LORD spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they gave no heed. 014 2CH 033 011 Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh in chains, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon. 014 2CH 033 012 And when he was in distress, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. 014 2CH 033 013 And he prayed unto him; and he was entreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God. 014 2CH 033 014 Now after this he built an outer wall to the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate; and he compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height: and he put valiant captains in all the fenced cities of Judah. 014 2CH 033 015 And he took away the strange 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 built up the altar of the LORD, and offered thereon sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD, the God of Israel. 014 2CH 033 017 Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, but only unto the LORD their God. 014 2CH 033 018 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, behold, they are written among the acts of the kings of Israel. 014 2CH 033 019 His prayer also, and how [God] was entreated of him, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up the Asherim and the graven images, before he humbled himself: behold, they are written in the history of Hozai. 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 twenty and two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. 014 2CH 033 022 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: and Amon sacrificed unto all the graven images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them. 014 2CH 033 023 And he humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more. 014 2CH 033 024 And his servants conspired against him, and put him to death 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 thirty and one years in Jerusalem. 014 2CH 034 002 And he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or 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 Asherim, and the graven images, and the molten images. 014 2CH 034 004 And they brake down the altars of the Baalim in his presence; and the sun-images, that were on high above them, he hewed down; and the Asherim, and the graven images, and the molten images, he brake in pieces, and made dust of them, and strowed it upon the graves [of them] that had sacrificed unto them. 014 2CH 034 005 And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem. 014 2CH 034 006 And [so did he] in the cities of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon, even unto Napthali, in their ruins round about. 014 2CH 034 007 And he brake down the altars, and beat the Asherim and the graven images into powder, and hewed down all the sun-images throughout all the land of Israel, and 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 they came to Hilkiah the high priest, and delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the door, had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin, and of the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 014 2CH 034 010 And they delivered it into the hand of the workmen that had the oversight of the house of the LORD; and the workmen that wrought in the house of the LORD gave it to amend and repair the house; 014 2CH 034 011 even to the carpenters and to the builders gave they it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to make beams for 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 set it forward: and [other of] the Levites, all that could skill of instruments of music. 014 2CH 034 013 Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and set forward all that did the work in every 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 moreover brought the king word again, saying, All that was committed to thy servants, they do it. 014 2CH 034 017 And they have emptied out the money that was found in the house of the LORD, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of the workmen. 014 2CH 034 018 And Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read therein before the king. 014 2CH 034 019 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he rent 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 the king’s servant, saying, 014 2CH 034 021 Go ye, inquire 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 according unto all that is written in this book. 014 2CH 034 022 So Hilkiah, and they whom the king [had commanded], went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the second quarter; ) and they spake to her to that effect. 014 2CH 034 023 And she said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: tell ye the man that sent you unto me, 014 2CH 034 024 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, 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 unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore is my wrath poured out upon this place, and it shall not be quenched. 014 2CH 034 026 But unto the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: As touching the words which thou hast heard, 014 2CH 034 027 because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and hast humbled thyself before me, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, 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 thine eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof. And they brought the king word again. 014 2CH 034 029 Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem. 014 2CH 034 030 And the king went up to 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, both great and small: and he read in their ears 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 that were written in this book. 014 2CH 034 032 And he caused all that were found 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 found in Israel to serve, even to serve the LORD their God. All his days they departed not from following the LORD, the God of their fathers. 014 2CH 035 001 And Josiah kept a passover unto 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 he said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; there shall no more be a burden upon your shoulders: now serve the LORD your God, and his people Israel. 014 2CH 035 004 And prepare yourselves after your fathers’ houses by 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 fathers’ houses of your brethren the children of the people, and [let there be for each] a portion of a fathers’ house of the Levites. 014 2CH 035 006 And kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brethren, to do according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses. 014 2CH 035 007 And Josiah gave to the children of the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all of them for the passover offerings, unto all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these were of the king’s substance. 014 2CH 035 008 And his princes gave for a freewill offering unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of the house of God, gave unto 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 Nethanel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for the 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 by their courses, according to the king’s commandment. 014 2CH 035 011 And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled [the blood, which they received] of their hand, and the Levites flayed them: 014 2CH 035 012 And they removed the burnt offerings, that they might give them according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of the children of the people, to offer unto 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: and the holy offerings sod they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the children of the people. 014 2CH 035 014 And afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests; because the priests the sons of Aaron [were busied] in offering the 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 were at every gate: they needed not to 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 to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did any of 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, Neco king of Egypt went 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 wherewith I have war; and God hath commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from [meddling with] God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not. 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 unto the words of Neco, from the month 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, Have me away; for I am sore wounded. 014 2CH 035 024 So his servants took him out of the chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he died, and was buried in 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 singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations, unto this day; and they 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 good deeds, according to that which is written in the law of the LORD, 014 2CH 035 027 and his acts, 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 Joahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three mouths in Jerusalem. 014 2CH 036 003 And the king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and amerced the land in 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 Neco took Joahaz 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 at the return of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of the LORD, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem. 014 2CH 036 011 Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: 014 2CH 036 012 and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God; he 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 unto the LORD, the God of Israel. 014 2CH 036 014 Moreover all the chiefs of the priests, and the people, trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the heathen; and they polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem. 014 2CH 036 015 And the LORD, the 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 scoffed at 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 Chaldeans, 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 ancient: 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 brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof. 014 2CH 036 020 And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; and they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia: 014 2CH 036 021 to fulfill the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths [for] as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfill threescore and ten years. 014 2CH 036 022 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD 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, the God of heaven, given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whosoever there is 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 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, 015 EZR 001 002 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD, the God of heaven, given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. 015 EZR 001 003 Whosoever there is 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, the God of Israel, (he is God, ) which is in Jerusalem. 015 EZR 001 004 And whosoever is left, 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, beside the freewill offering for the house of God which is in Jerusalem. 015 EZR 001 005 Then rose up the heads of fathers’ [houses] of Judah and Benjamin, told the priests, and the Levites, even all whose spirit God had stirred to go up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem. 015 EZR 001 006 And all they that were round about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside 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 forth out of 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 unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah. 015 EZR 001 009 And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives; 015 EZR 001 010 thirty bowls of gold, silver bowls 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 up, when they of the captivity were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem. 015 EZR 002 001 Now these are the children of the province, that went up out of the captivity of those which had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away unto Babylon, and that returned unto Jerusalem and Judah, every one unto his city; 015 EZR 002 002 which 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 seventy and two. 015 EZR 002 004 The children of Shephatiah, three hundred and seventy two. 015 EZR 002 005 The children of Arah, seven hundred seventy and five. 015 EZR 002 006 The children of Pahath-moab, 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 fifty and four. 015 EZR 002 008 The children of Zattu, nine hundred forty and five. 015 EZR 002 009 The children of Zaccai, seven hundred and threescore. 015 EZR 002 010 The children of Bani, six hundred forty and two. 015 EZR 002 011 The children of Bebai, six hundred twenty and three. 015 EZR 002 012 The children of Azgad, a thousand two hundred twenty and two. 015 EZR 002 013 The children of Adonikam six hundred 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 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 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 twenty and three. 015 EZR 002 020 The children of Gibbar, ninety and five. 015 EZR 002 021 The children of Beth-lehem, an hundred twenty and three. 015 EZR 002 022 The men of Netophah, fifty and six. 015 EZR 002 023 The men of Anathoth, an hundred twenty and eight. 015 EZR 002 024 The children of Azmaveth, forty and two. 015 EZR 002 025 The children of Kiriath-arim, Chephirah, and Beeroth, seven hundred and forty and three. 015 EZR 002 026 The children of Ramah and Geba, six hundred twenty and one. 015 EZR 002 027 The men of Michmas, an hundred twenty and two. 015 EZR 002 028 The men of Beth-el and Ai, two hundred twenty and three. 015 EZR 002 029 The children of Nebo, fifty and two. 015 EZR 002 030 The children of Magbish, an hundred fifty and six. 015 EZR 002 031 The children of the other Elam, a thousand two hundred fifty and four. 015 EZR 002 032 The children of Harim, three hundred and twenty. 015 EZR 002 033 The children of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, seven hundred twenty and five. 015 EZR 002 034 The children of Jericho, three hundred forty and five. 015 EZR 002 035 The children of Senaah, three thousand and six hundred and thirty. 015 EZR 002 036 The priests: the children of Jedaiah, of the house of Jeshua, nine hundred seventy and three. 015 EZR 002 037 The children of Immer, a thousand fifty and two. 015 EZR 002 038 The children of Pashhur, a thousand two hundred forty and seven. 015 EZR 002 039 The children of Harim, a thousand and seventeen. 015 EZR 002 040 The Levites: the children of Jeshua and Kadmiel, of the children of Hodaviah, seventy and four. 015 EZR 002 041 The singers: the children of Asaph, an hundred 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 thirty and nine. 015 EZR 002 043 The Nethinim: 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 Shamlai, the children 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 Meunim, the children of Nephisim; 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 Temah; 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 Hassophereth, 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-hazzebaim, the children of Ami. 015 EZR 002 058 All the Nethinim, and the children of Solomon’s servants, were three hundred ninety and two. 015 EZR 002 059 And these were they which went up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addan, [and] Immer: but they could not shew their fathers’ houses, 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 fifty and two. 015 EZR 002 061 And of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Hakkoz, the children of Barzillai, which took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name. 015 EZR 002 062 These sought their register [among] those that were reckoned by genealogy, but they were not found: therefore were they deemed polluted and put from the priesthood. 015 EZR 002 063 And the Tirshatha said unto 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 threescore, 015 EZR 002 065 beside their menservants and their maidservants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven: and they had two hundred singing men and singing women. 015 EZR 002 066 Their horses were seven hundred thirty and six; their mules, two hundred forty and five; 015 EZR 002 067 their camels, four hundred thirty and five; [their] asses, six thousand seven hundred and twenty. 015 EZR 002 068 And some of the heads of fathers’ [houses], when they came to the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem, offered willingly 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 threescore and one thousand darics 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 Nethinim, dwelt in their cities, and all Israel in their cities. 015 EZR 003 001 And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to 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 builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God. 015 EZR 003 003 And they set the altar upon its base; for fear was upon them because of the people of the countries: and they offered burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD, even burnt offerings morning and evening. 015 EZR 003 004 And they kept the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and [offered] the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required; 015 EZR 003 005 and afterward the continual burnt offering, and [the offerings] 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 unto the LORD. 015 EZR 003 006 From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the LORD: but the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid. 015 EZR 003 007 They gave money also unto the masons, and to the carpenters; and meat, and drink, and oil, unto them of Zidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea, unto 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 unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of 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 have the oversight of 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 order of David king of Israel. 015 EZR 003 011 And they sang one to another in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD, [saying], For 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 fathers’ [houses], the 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 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 builded a temple unto the LORD, the God of Israel; 015 EZR 004 002 then they drew near to Zerubbabel, and to the heads of fathers’ [houses], and said unto them, Let us build with you: for we seek your God, as ye do; and we do sacrifice unto him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assyria, which brought us up hither. 015 EZR 004 003 But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the heads of fathers’ houses of Israel, said unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build an house unto our God; but we ourselves together will build unto the LORD, the 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, wrote they 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 his companions, unto Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter was written in the Syrian [character], and set forth in the Syrian [tongue]. 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, and the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Shushanchites, the Dehaites, the Elamites, 015 EZR 004 010 and the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Osnappar brought over, and set in the city of Samaria, and in the rest [of the country] beyond the river, and so forth. 015 EZR 004 011 This is the copy of the letter that they sent unto Artaxerxes the king; Thy servants the men beyond the river, and so forth. 015 EZR 004 012 Be it known unto the king, that the Jews which came up from thee are come to us unto Jerusalem; they are building the rebellious and the bad city, and have finished the walls, and repaired the foundations. 015 EZR 004 013 Be it known now unto the king, that, if this city be builded, and the walls finished, they will not pay tribute, custom, or toll, and in the end it will endamage the kings. 015 EZR 004 014 Now because we eat the salt of the palace, and it is not meet for us to see the king’s dishonour, therefore have we sent and certified 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 unto kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time: for which cause was this city laid waste. 015 EZR 004 016 We certify the king that, if this city be builded, and the walls finished, by this means thou shalt have no portion beyond the river. 015 EZR 004 017 [Then] sent the king an answer unto Rehum the chancellor, and to Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest of their companions that dwell in Samaria, and in the rest [of the country] beyond the river, Peace, and so forth. 015 EZR 004 018 The letter which ye sent unto us hath been plainly read before me. 015 EZR 004 019 And I decreed, and search hath been made, and it is found that this city of old time hath made insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been made therein. 015 EZR 004 020 There have been mighty kings also over Jerusalem, which have ruled over all [the country] beyond the river; and tribute, custom, and toll, was paid unto them. 015 EZR 004 021 Make ye now a decree to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not builded, until a decree shall be made by me. 015 EZR 004 022 And take heed that ye be not slack herein: why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings? 015 EZR 004 023 Then when the copy of king Artaxerxes’ letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went in haste to Jerusalem unto 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; and it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia. 015 EZR 005 001 Now the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem; in the name of the God of Israel [prophesied they] unto 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 Tattenai, the governor beyond the river, and Shethar-bonzenai, and their companions, and said thus to them, Who gave you a decree to build this house, and to finish this wall? 015 EZR 005 004 Then spake we unto 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, and they did not make them cease, till the matter should come to Darius, and then answer should be returned by letter concerning it. 015 EZR 005 006 The copy of the letter that Tattenai, the governor beyond the river, and Shethar-bozenai, and his companions the Apharsachites, which were beyond the river, sent unto Darius the king: 015 EZR 005 007 they sent a letter unto him, wherein was written thus; Unto Darius the king, all peace. 015 EZR 005 008 Be it known unto the king, that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is builded with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work goeth on with diligence and prospereth in their hands. 015 EZR 005 009 Then asked we those elders, and said unto them thus, Who gave you a decree to build this house, and to finish this wall? 015 EZR 005 010 We asked them their names also, to certify thee, that we might write the names of the men that were at the head 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 builded these many years ago, which a great king of Israel builded and finished. 015 EZR 005 012 But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar 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 king of Babylon, Cyrus the king made a decree to build this house of God. 015 EZR 005 014 And the gold and sliver vessels also 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 unto one whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor; 015 EZR 005 015 and he said unto him, Take these vessels, go, put them in the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be builded in its place. 015 EZR 005 016 Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and laid the foundations 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 completed. 015 EZR 005 017 Now therefore, if it seem good to the king, let there be search made in the king’s treasure house, which is there at Babylon, whether it be so, that a decree was made of 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 archives, 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 Media, a roll, and therein was thus written for a record. 015 EZR 006 003 In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king made a decree; Concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, let the house be builded, the place where they offer sacrifices, and let the foundations thereof be strongly laid; the height thereof threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof threescore 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 gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and brought again unto the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to its place, and thou shalt put them in the house of God. 015 EZR 006 006 Now therefore, Tattenai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-bozenai, and your companions the Apharsachites, which are beyond the river, be ye far from thence: 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 these elders of the 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 with all diligence unto these men, that they be not hindered. 015 EZR 006 009 And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for burnt offerings to the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the word of the priests which are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail: 015 EZR 006 010 that they may offer sacrifices of sweet savour unto 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 whosoever shall alter this word, let a beam be pulled out from his house, and let him be lifted up and fastened thereon; 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 overthrow all kings and peoples, that shall put forth their hand to alter [the same], to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with all diligence. 015 EZR 006 013 Then Tattenai, the governor beyond the river; Shethar-bozenai, and their companions, because that Darius the king had sent, did accordingly with all diligence. 015 EZR 006 014 And the elders of the Jews builded and prospered, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the decree 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 they offered at the dedication of this house of God an hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve he-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, which 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 had purified themselves 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, which were come again out of the captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the LORD, the God of Israel, did eat, 015 EZR 006 022 and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the LORD had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto 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 up from Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the LORD, the 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 up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinim, unto 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 began he to go up from Babylon, and on the first [day] of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him. 015 EZR 007 010 For Ezra had set 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 unto Ezra the priest, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of the commandments of the LORD, and of his statutes to Israel. 015 EZR 007 012 Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect and so forth, 015 EZR 007 013 I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and their priests and the Levites, in my realm, which are minded of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with thee. 015 EZR 007 014 Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king and his seven counsellors, to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which is in thine hand; 015 EZR 007 015 and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered unto the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem, 015 EZR 007 016 and all the silver and gold that thou shalt 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 therefore thou shalt with all diligence buy with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meal offerings and their drink offerings, and shalt offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem. 015 EZR 007 018 And whatsoever shall seem good to thee and to thy brethren to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do ye after the will of your God. 015 EZR 007 019 And the vessels that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem. 015 EZR 007 020 And whatsoever 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 which are beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done with all diligence, 015 EZR 007 022 unto 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 Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done exactly 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 certify you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, the singers, porters, Nethinim, or servants of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, custom, or toll, upon them. 015 EZR 007 025 And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God that is in thine hand, appoint magistrates and judges, which may judge all the people that are beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye him that knoweth them not. 015 EZR 007 026 And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed upon him with all diligence, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment. 015 EZR 007 027 Blessed be the LORD, the God of our fathers, which 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 unto me before the king, and his counsellors, and before all the king’s mighty princes. And I was strengthened according to the hand of the LORD my God upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me. 015 EZR 008 001 Now these are 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 Shecaniah; of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah: and with him were reckoned by genealogy of the males an hundred and fifty. 015 EZR 008 004 Of the sons of Pahath-moab, Eliehoenai the son of Zerahiah; and with him two hundred males. 015 EZR 008 005 Of the sons of Shecaniah, the son of Jahaziel; and with him three hundred males. 015 EZR 008 006 And of the sons 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 fourscore 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 threescore 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 sons of Adonikam, [that were] the last; and these are their names, Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah, and with them threescore males. 015 EZR 008 014 And of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud; and with them seventy males. 015 EZR 008 015 And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to Ahava; and there we encamped 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, which were teachers. 015 EZR 008 017 And I sent them forth unto Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia; and I told them what they should say unto Iddo, [and] his brethren the Nethinim, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring unto us ministers for the house of our God. 015 EZR 008 018 And according to the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of discretion, 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 and of the Nethinim, whom David and the princes had given for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim: all of them were expressed by name. 015 EZR 008 021 Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek of him a straight way, for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance. 015 EZR 008 022 For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them that seek him, for good; 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 of us. 015 EZR 008 024 Then I separated twelve of the chiefs of the priests, even Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them, 015 EZR 008 025 and weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering for the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his princes, and all Israel there present, had offered: 015 EZR 008 026 I even weighed into their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels an hundred talents; of gold an hundred talents; 015 EZR 008 027 and twenty bowls of gold, of a thousand darics; and two vessels of fine bright brass, precious as gold. 015 EZR 008 028 And I said unto them, Ye are holy unto the LORD, and the vessels are holy; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering unto the LORD, the God of your fathers. 015 EZR 008 029 Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the princes of the fathers’ [houses] of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD. 015 EZR 008 030 So the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem unto the house of our God. 015 EZR 008 031 Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth [day] of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy and the lier in wait by the way. 015 EZR 008 032 And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days. 015 EZR 008 033 And on the fourth day was the silver and the gold and the vessels weighed in the house of our God into 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, the Levites; 015 EZR 008 034 the whole by number and by weight: and all the weight was written at that time. 015 EZR 008 035 The children of the captivity, which were come out of exile, offered burnt offerings unto the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a sin offering: all this was a burnt offering unto the LORD. 015 EZR 008 036 And they delivered the king’s commissions unto the king’s satraps, and to the governors beyond the river: and they furthered the people and the house of God. 015 EZR 009 001 Now when these things were done, the princes drew near unto me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples 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 mingled themselves with the peoples of the lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass. 015 EZR 009 003 And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astonied. 015 EZR 009 004 Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the trespass of them of the captivity; and I sat astonied until the evening oblation. 015 EZR 009 005 And at the evening oblation I arose up from my humiliation, even with my garment and my mantle rent; and I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God; 015 EZR 009 006 and I 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 guiltiness is grown up unto the heavens. 015 EZR 009 007 Since the days of our fathers we have been exceeding guilty unto 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 spoiling, and to confusion of face, as it is this day. 015 EZR 009 008 And now for a little moment grace hath been shewed 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 lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage. 015 EZR 009 009 For we are bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto 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 ruins thereof, 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, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land through the uncleanness of the peoples of the lands, through their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their filthiness. 015 EZR 009 012 now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity t 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 is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great guilt, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such a remnant, 015 EZR 009 014 shall we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the peoples that do these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape? 015 EZR 009 015 O LORD, the God of Israel, thou art righteous; for we are left a remnant that is escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our guiltiness; for none can stand before thee because of this. 015 EZR 010 001 Now while Ezra prayed, and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there was gathered together unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept very sore. 015 EZR 010 002 And Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have married strange women of the peoples of the land: yet now there is hope for 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 the matter belongeth unto thee, and we are with thee: be of good courage, and do it. 015 EZR 010 005 Then arose Ezra, and made the chiefs of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word. So they sware. 015 EZR 010 006 Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib: and [when] he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the trespass of them of the captivity. 015 EZR 010 007 And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem; 015 EZR 010 008 and that whosoever came not 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 the captivity. 015 EZR 010 009 Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within the three days; it was the ninth month, on the twentieth [day] of the month: and all the people sat in the broad place before 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 unto them, Ye have trespassed, and have married strange women, to increase the guilt of Israel. 015 EZR 010 011 Now therefore make confession unto the LORD, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the strange women. 015 EZR 010 012 Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, as thou hast said concerning us, 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 without, neither is this a work of one day or two: for we have greatly transgressed in this matter. 015 EZR 010 014 Let now our princes be appointed for all the congregation, and let all them that are in our cities which have married strange women come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God be turned from us, until this matter be despatched. 015 EZR 010 015 Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against 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 fathers’ [houses], after their fathers’ houses, and all of them by their names, were separated; and they sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter. 015 EZR 010 017 And they made an end with all the men that had married strange women by the first day of the first month. 015 EZR 010 018 And among the sons of the priests there were found that had married strange women: [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 hand that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, [they offered] a ram of the flock for their guilt. 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 Pashhur; Elioenai, Maaseiah, Ishmael, Nethanel, Jozabad, and Elasah. 015 EZR 010 023 And of the Levites; Jozabad, and Shimei, and Kelaiah (the same is Kelita), Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer. 015 EZR 010 024 And of the singers; Eliashib; and of the porters; Shallum, and Telem, and Uri. 015 EZR 010 025 And of Israel: of the sons of Parosh; Ramiah, and Izziah, and Malchijah, and Mijamin, 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 Elijah. 015 EZR 010 027 And of the sons of Zattu; Elioenai, Eliashib, Mattaniah, and Jeremoth, and Zabad, and Aziza. 015 EZR 010 028 And of the sons of Bebai; Jehohanan, Hananiah, Zabbai, Athlai. 015 EZR 010 029 And of the sons of Bani; Meshullam, Malluch, and Adaiah, Jashub, and Sheal, Jeremoth. 015 EZR 010 030 And of the sons of Pahath-moab; Adna, and Chelal, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattaniah, Bezalel, and Binnui, and Manasseh. 015 EZR 010 031 And [of] the sons of Harim; Eliezer, Isshijah, Malchijah, Shemaiah, Shimeon; 015 EZR 010 032 Benjamin, Malluch, Shemariah. 015 EZR 010 033 Of the sons of Hashum; Mattenai, Mattattah, Zabad, Eliphelet, Jeremai, Manasseh, Shimei. 015 EZR 010 034 Of the sons of Bani; Maadai, Amram, and Uel; 015 EZR 010 035 Benaiah, Bedeiah, Cheluhi; 015 EZR 010 036 Vaniah, Meremoth, Eliashib; 015 EZR 010 037 Mattaniah, Mattenai, and Jaasu; 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 Azarel, and Shelemiah, Shemariah; 015 EZR 010 042 Shallum, Amariah, Joseph. 015 EZR 010 043 Of the sons of Nebo; Jeiel, Mattithiah, Zabad, Zebina, Iddo, and Joel, Benaiah. 015 EZR 010 044 All these had taken strange 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 Hacaliah. Now it came to pass in the month Chislev, 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 out of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. 016 NEH 001 003 And they said unto 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 the gates thereof 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 I fasted and prayed before the God of heaven, 016 NEH 001 005 and said, I beseech thee, O LORD, the God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments: 016 NEH 001 006 Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee at this time, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, while I confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: yea, 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 commandedst thy servant Moses. 016 NEH 001 008 Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye trespass, I will scatter you abroad among the peoples: 016 NEH 001 009 but if ye return unto me, and keep my commandments and do them, though your outcasts were in the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to cause my name to dwell 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 thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who delight to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. (Now I was cupbearer to the king.) 016 NEH 002 001 And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, when wine was before him, that I took up the wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not been [beforetime] sad in his presence. 016 NEH 002 002 And the king said unto me, Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore afraid. 016 NEH 002 003 And I said unto 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 the gates thereof are consumed with fire? 016 NEH 002 004 Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven. 016 NEH 002 005 And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers’ sepulchres, that I may build it. 016 NEH 002 006 And the king said unto 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 unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may let me pass through till I come unto Judah; 016 NEH 002 008 and a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king’s forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the castle which appertaineth to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. 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 with me captains of the army and horsemen. 016 NEH 002 010 And when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly, for that there was 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 put into my heart to do for Jerusalem: neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon. 016 NEH 002 013 And I went out by night by the valley gate, even toward the dragon’s well, and to the dung gate, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire. 016 NEH 002 014 Then I went on to the fountain gate 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 went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall; and I turned back, and entered by the valley gate, and so returned. 016 NEH 002 016 And the rulers knew not whither 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 unto them, Ye see the evil case that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach. 016 NEH 002 018 And I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also of the king’s words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for the good [work]. 016 NEH 002 019 But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What is this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king? 016 NEH 002 020 Then answered I them, and said unto 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 rose up with his brethren the priests, and they builded the sheep gate; they sanctified it, and set up the doors of it; even unto the tower of Hammeah they sanctified it, unto the tower of Hananel. 016 NEH 003 002 And next unto him builded the men of Jericho. And next to them builded Zaccur the son of Imri. 016 NEH 003 003 And the fish gate did the sons of Hassenaah build; they laid the beams thereof, and set up the doors thereof, the bolts thereof, and the bars thereof. 016 NEH 003 004 And next unto them repaired Meremoth the son of Uriah, the son of Hakkoz. And next unto them repaired Meshullam the son of Berechiah, the son of Meshezabel. And next unto them repaired Zadok the son of Baana. 016 NEH 003 005 And next unto them the Tekoites repaired; but their nobles put not their necks to the work of their lord. 016 NEH 003 006 And the old gate repaired Joiada the son of Paseah and Meshullam the son of Besodeiah; they laid the beams thereof, and set up the doors thereof, and the bolts thereof, and the bars thereof. 016 NEH 003 007 And next unto them repaired Melatiah the Gibeonite, and Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon, and of Mizpah, [which appertained] to the throne of the governor beyond the river. 016 NEH 003 008 Next unto him repaired Uzziel the son of Harhaiah, goldsmiths. And next unto him repaired Hananiah one of the apothecaries, and they fortified Jerusalem even unto the broad wall. 016 NEH 003 009 And next unto them repaired Rephaiah the son of Hur, the ruler of half the district of Jerusalem. 016 NEH 003 010 And next unto them repaired Jedaiah the son of Harumaph, even over against his house. And next unto him repaired Hattush the son of Hashabneiah. 016 NEH 003 011 Malchijah the son of Harim, and Hasshub the son of Pahath-moab, repaired another portion, and the tower of the furnaces. 016 NEH 003 012 And next unto him repaired Shallum the son of Hallohesh, the ruler of half the district 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 the doors thereof, the bolts thereof, and the bars thereof, and a thousand cubits of the wall unto the dung gate. 016 NEH 003 014 And the dung gate repaired Malchijah the son of Rechab, the ruler of the district of Beth-haccherem; he built it, and set up the doors thereof, the bolts thereof, and the bars thereof. 016 NEH 003 015 And the fountain gate repaired Shallum the son of Col-hozeh, the ruler of the district of Mizpah; he built it, and covered it, and set up the doors thereof, the bolts thereof, and the bars thereof, and the wall of the pool of Shelah by the king’s garden, even unto the stairs that go down from the city of David. 016 NEH 003 016 After him repaired Nehemiah the son of Azbuk, the ruler of half the district of Beth-zur, unto the place over against the sepulchres of David, and unto the pool that was made, and unto the house of the mighty men. 016 NEH 003 017 After him repaired the Levites, Rehum the son of Bani. Next unto him repaired Hashabiah, the ruler of half the district of Keilah, for his district. 016 NEH 003 018 After him repaired their brethren, Bavvai the son of Henadad, the ruler of half the district of Keilah. 016 NEH 003 019 And next to him repaired Ezer the son of Jeshua, the ruler of Mizpah, another portion, over against the going up to the armoury at the turning [of the wall]. 016 NEH 003 020 After him Baruch the son of Zabbai earnestly repaired another portion, from the turning [of the wall] unto the door of the house of Eliashib the high priest. 016 NEH 003 021 After him repaired Meremoth the son of Uriah the son of Hakkoz another portion, 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 them repaired Benjamin and Hasshub over against their house. After them repaired Azariah the son of Maaseiah the son of Ananiah beside his own house. 016 NEH 003 024 After him repaired Binnui the son of Henadad another portion, from the house of Azariah unto the turning [of the wall], and unto the corner. 016 NEH 003 025 Palal the son of Uzai [repaired] over against the turning [of the wall], and the tower that standeth out from the upper house of the king, which is by the court of the guard. After him Pedaiah the son of Parosh [repaired]. 016 NEH 003 026 (Now the Nethinim dwelt in Ophel, unto the place over against the water gate toward the east, and the tower that standeth out.) 016 NEH 003 027 After him the Tekoites repaired another portion, over against the great tower that standeth out, and unto the wall of Ophel. 016 NEH 003 028 Above the horse gate repaired the priests, every one over against his own house. 016 NEH 003 029 After them repaired Zadok the son of Immer over against his own house. And after him repaired Shemaiah the son of Shecaniah, 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 portion. After him repaired Meshullam the son of Berechiah over against his chamber. 016 NEH 003 031 After him repaired Malchijah one of the goldsmiths unto the house of the Nethinim, and of the merchants, over against the gate of Hammiphkad, and to the ascent of the corner. 016 NEH 003 032 And between the ascent of the corner and the sheep gate repaired the goldsmiths and the merchants. 016 NEH 004 001 But it came to pass that, when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews. 016 NEH 004 002 And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, seeing they are burned? 016 NEH 004 003 Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall break down their stone wall. 016 NEH 004 004 Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn back their reproach upon their own head, and give them up to spoiling in a 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 unto half [the height] thereof: for the people had a mind to work. 016 NEH 004 007 But it came to pass that, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem went forward, [and] that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth; 016 NEH 004 008 and they conspired all of them together to come and fight against Jerusalem, and to cause confusion therein. 016 NEH 004 009 But we made our prayer unto 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 decayed, 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 into the midst of them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease. 016 NEH 004 012 And it came to pass that, when the Jews which dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times from all places, Ye must return unto us. 016 NEH 004 013 Therefore set I in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, In the open places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows. 016 NEH 004 014 And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which 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 unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work. 016 NEH 004 016 And it came to pass from that time forth, that half of my servants wrought in the work, and half of them held 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 that builded the wall and they that bare burdens laded themselves, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other held his weapon; 016 NEH 004 018 and the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me. 016 NEH 004 019 And I said unto 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 soever ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us; our God shall fight for us. 016 NEH 004 021 So we wrought 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 unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and may labour in the day. 016 NEH 004 023 So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard which followed me, none of us put off our clothes, every one [went with] his weapon [to] the water. 016 NEH 005 001 Then there arose 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: let us get corn, that we may eat and live. 016 NEH 005 003 Some also there were that said, We are mortgaging our fields, and our vineyards, and our houses: let us get corn, because of the dearth. 016 NEH 005 004 There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king’s tribute [upon] our fields and our 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 into bondage [already]: neither is it in our power to help it; for other men have our fields and our 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 contended with the nobles and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I held a great assembly against them. 016 NEH 005 008 And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and would ye even sell your brethren, and should they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found never a word. 016 NEH 005 009 Also I said, The thing that ye do is not good: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God, because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies? 016 NEH 005 010 And I likewise, my brethren and my servants, do lend them money and corn on usury. I pray you, let us leave off this usury. 016 NEH 005 011 Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their fields, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, 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, even 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 out 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 unto 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 were before me were chargeable unto the people, and took of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare 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 thither unto the work. 016 NEH 005 017 Moreover there were at my table of the Jews and the rulers an hundred and fifty men, beside those that came unto us from among the heathen that were round about us. 016 NEH 005 018 Now that which was prepared for one day was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this I demanded not the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people. 016 NEH 005 019 Remember unto me, O my God, for good, all that I have done for this people. 016 NEH 006 001 Now it came to pass, when it was reported to Sanballat and Tobiah, and to Geshem the Arabian, and unto the rest of our enemies, that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though even unto that time I had not set up the doors in the gates; ) 016 NEH 006 002 that Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in [one of] the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief. 016 NEH 006 003 And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: Why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you? 016 NEH 006 004 And they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner. 016 NEH 006 005 Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand; 016 NEH 006 006 wherein was written, It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel; for which cause thou buildest the wall: and thou wouldest be their king, according to these words. 016 NEH 006 007 And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of 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 unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart. 016 NEH 006 009 For they all would have made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. But now, [O God], strengthen thou my hands. 016 NEH 006 010 And I went unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, 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 such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in. 016 NEH 006 012 And I discerned, and, lo, God had not sent him: but he pronounced this prophecy against me: and Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. 016 NEH 006 013 For this cause was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me. 016 NEH 006 014 Remember, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also 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, when all our enemies heard [thereof], that all the heathen that were about us feared, and were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God. 016 NEH 006 017 Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and [the letters] of Tobiah came unto them. 016 NEH 006 018 For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was the son in law of Shecaniah the son of Arah; and his son Jehohanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah to wife. 016 NEH 006 019 Also they spake of his good deeds before me, and reported 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 governor of the castle, charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many. 016 NEH 007 003 And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand [on guard], let them shut the doors, and bar ye them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one [to be] over against his house. 016 NEH 007 004 Now the city was wide and large: but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded. 016 NEH 007 005 And my God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found the book of the genealogy of them which came up at the first, and I found written therein: 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 that returned unto Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his city; 016 NEH 007 007 who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel: 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 seventy and two. 016 NEH 007 010 The children of Arah, six hundred fifty and two. 016 NEH 007 011 The children of Pahath-moab, 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 fifty and four. 016 NEH 007 013 The children of Zattu, eight hundred forty and five. 016 NEH 007 014 The children of Zaccai, seven hundred and threescore. 016 NEH 007 015 The children of Binnui, six hundred forty and eight. 016 NEH 007 016 The children of Bebai, six hundred twenty and eight. 016 NEH 007 017 The children of Azgad, two thousand three hundred twenty and two. 016 NEH 007 018 The children of Adonikam, six hundred threescore and seven. 016 NEH 007 019 The children of Bigvai, two thousand threescore and seven. 016 NEH 007 020 The children of Adin, six hundred 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 twenty and eight. 016 NEH 007 023 The children of Bezai, three hundred 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 Beth-lehem and Netophah, an hundred fourscore and eight. 016 NEH 007 027 The men of Anathoth, an hundred twenty and eight. 016 NEH 007 028 The men of Beth-azmaveth, forty and two. 016 NEH 007 029 The men of Kirjath-jearim, Chephirah, and Beeroth, seven hundred forty and three. 016 NEH 007 030 The men of Ramah and Geba, six hundred twenty and one. 016 NEH 007 031 The men of Michmas, an hundred and twenty and two. 016 NEH 007 032 The men of Beth-el and Ai, an hundred 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 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 forty and five. 016 NEH 007 037 The children of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, seven hundred 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 seventy and three. 016 NEH 007 040 The children of Immer, a thousand fifty and two. 016 NEH 007 041 The children of Pashhur, a thousand two hundred 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, of the children of Hodevah, seventy and four. 016 NEH 007 044 The singers: the children of Asaph, an hundred 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 thirty and eight. 016 NEH 007 046 The Nethinim: the children of Ziha, the children of Hasupha, 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 Salmai; 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 Paseah; 016 NEH 007 052 The children of Besai, the children of Meunim, the children of Nephushesim; 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 Temah; 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-hazzebaim, the children of Amon. 016 NEH 007 060 All the Nethinim, and the children of Solomon’s servants, were three hundred ninety and two. 016 NEH 007 061 And these were they which went up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer: but they could not shew their fathers’ houses, 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 forty and two. 016 NEH 007 063 And of the priests: the children of Hobaiah, the children of Hakkoz, the children of Barzillai, which took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name. 016 NEH 007 064 These sought their register [among] those that were reckoned by genealogy, but it was not found: therefore were they deemed polluted and put from the priesthood. 016 NEH 007 065 And the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and Thummim. 016 NEH 007 066 The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore, 016 NEH 007 067 beside their menservants and their maidservants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven, and they had two hundred forty and five singing men and singing women. 016 NEH 007 068 Their horses were seven hundred thirty and six; their mules, two hundred forty and five; 016 NEH 007 069 [their] camels, four hundred thirty and five; [their] asses, six thousand seven hundred and twenty. 016 NEH 007 070 And some from among the heads of fathers’ [houses] gave unto the work. The Tirshatha gave to the treasury a thousand darics of gold, fifty basons, five hundred and thirty priests’ garments. 016 NEH 007 071 And some of the heads of fathers’ [houses] gave into the treasury of the work twenty thousand darics 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 darics of gold, and two thousand pounds of silver, and threescore 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 Nethinim, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities. And when the seventh month was come, the children of Israel were in their cities. 016 NEH 008 001 And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the broad place that was before the water gate; and they spake unto 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 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 therein before the broad place that was before the water gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women, and of those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were [attentive] unto 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 Uriah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchijah, and Hashum, and Hashbaddanah, 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 the lifting up of 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, Hodiah, 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 And they read in the book, in the law of God, distinctly; and they gave the sense, so that they understood the reading. 016 NEH 008 009 And Nehemiah, which was the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto 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 unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto him for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye grieved; 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 unto them. 016 NEH 008 013 And on the second day were gathered together the heads of fathers’ [houses] of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to give attention to the words of the law. 016 NEH 008 014 And they found written in the law, how that 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 publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and branches of wild olive, 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 broad place of the water gate, and in the broad place of the gate of Ephraim. 016 NEH 008 017 And all the congregation of them that were come again out of the captivity made booths, and dwelt in the booths: for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun unto 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 unto 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 unto the ordinance. 016 NEH 009 001 Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackcloth, 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 a fourth part of the day; and [another] fourth part they confessed, and worshipped the LORD their God. 016 NEH 009 004 Then stood up upon the stairs of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, [and] Chenani, and cried with a loud voice unto the LORD their God. 016 NEH 009 005 Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, [and] Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless the LORD your God from everlasting to everlasting: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise. 016 NEH 009 006 Thou art the LORD, even thou alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all things that are thereon, the seas and all that is in them, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee. 016 NEH 009 007 Then art the LORD the God, who didst choose Abram and broughtest him forth out of 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 Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite, and the Girgashite, even to give it unto 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 shewedst 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; and didst 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 pursuers thou didst cast into the depths, as a stone into the mighty waters. 016 NEH 009 012 Moreover thou leddest them in a pillar of cloud by day; and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light in the way wherein they should go. 016 NEH 009 013 Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments and true laws, good statutes and commandments: 016 NEH 009 014 and madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them commandments, and statutes, and a law, 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 commandedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst lifted up thine hand to give them. 016 NEH 009 016 But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their neck, and hearkened not to thy commandments, 016 NEH 009 017 and refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their neck, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy, 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 up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations; 016 NEH 009 019 yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar of cloud departed not from over them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein 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, [and] they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not. 016 NEH 009 022 Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms and peoples, which thou didst allot after their portions: so they possessed the land of Sihon, even the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan. 016 NEH 009 023 Their children also multipliedst thou as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou didst say 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 subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gavest them into their hands, with their kings, and the peoples of the land, that they might do with them as they would. 016 NEH 009 025 And they took fenced cities, and a fat land and possessed houses full of good things, cisterns hewn out, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: so they did eat, 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 back, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn them again unto thee, and they wrought great provocations. 016 NEH 009 027 Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their adversaries, who distressed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours who saved them out of the hand of their adversaries. 016 NEH 009 028 But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee: therefore leftest thou them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried unto thee, thou heardest from heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies; 016 NEH 009 029 and testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man do, 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 bear with them, and testifiedst against them by thy spirit through thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the peoples of the lands. 016 NEH 009 031 Nevertheless in thy manifold mercies thou didst not make a full end of 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 travail 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 unto this day. 016 NEH 009 033 Howbeit thou art just in all that is come upon us; for thou hast dealt truly, 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 unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith 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 fat land which thou gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works. 016 NEH 009 036 Behold, we are servants this day, and as for the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are servants in it. 016 NEH 009 037 And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: also they have power over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress. 016 NEH 009 038 And yet for all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, our Levites, [and] our priests, seal unto it. 016 NEH 010 001 Now those that sealed were, Nehemiah the Tirshatha, the son of Hacaliah, and Zedekiah; 016 NEH 010 002 Seraiah, Azariah, Jeremiah; 016 NEH 010 003 Pashhur, 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: namely, Jeshua the son of Azaniah, Binnui of the sons of Henadad, Kadmiel; 016 NEH 010 010 and their brethren, Shebaniah, Hodiah, Kelita, Pelaiah, Hanan;

016 NEH 010 029 They clave to 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 to do all the commandments of the LORD our Lord, and his judgments and his statutes;

So they encamped from Beer-sheba unto the valley of Hinnom. 016 NEH 011 031 The children of Benjamin also [dwelt] from Geba [onward], at Michmash and Aija, and at Beth-el and the towns thereof; 016 NEH 011 032 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, certain courses in Judah [were joined] to 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 Shecaniah, Rehum, Meremoth; 016 NEH 012 004 Iddo, Ginnethoi, Abijah; 016 NEH 012 005 Mijamin, Maadiah, Bilgah; 016 NEH 012 006 Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah; 016 NEH 012 007 Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These were the chiefs 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, which was over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren. 016 NEH 012 009 Also Bakbukiah and Unno, their brethren, were over against them in wards. 016 NEH 012 010 And Jeshua begat Joiakim, and Joiakim 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, heads of fathers’ [houses]: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah; 016 NEH 012 013 of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan; 016 NEH 012 014 of Malluchi, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph; 016 NEH 012 015 of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai; 016 NEH 012 016 of Iddo, Zechariah; of Gennethon, 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, Nethanel. 016 NEH 012 022 The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded heads of fathers’ [houses]: also the priests, in the reign of Darius the Persian. 016 NEH 012 023 The sons of Levi, heads of fathers’ [houses], were written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib. 016 NEH 012 024 And the chiefs of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise and give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, ward against ward. 016 NEH 012 025 Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were porters keeping the ward 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 round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites; 016 NEH 012 029 also from Beth-gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had builded them villages round about Jerusalem. 016 NEH 012 030 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they 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 that gave thanks and went in procession; [whereof 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: Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph; 016 NEH 012 036 and his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was before them: 016 NEH 012 037 And by the fountain gate, and straight before them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall, above the house of David, even unto 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, with the half of the people, upon the wall, above the tower of the furnaces, even unto the broad wall; 016 NEH 012 039 and above the gate of Ephraim, and by the old gate, and by the fish gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even unto the sheep gate: and they stood still in the gate of the guard. 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, Micaiah, 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 And they offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced; for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and the women also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off. 016 NEH 012 044 And on that day were men appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the heave offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, according to the fields of the cities, the portions appointed by the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited. 016 NEH 012 045 And they kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, and [so did] the singers and the porters, 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 was a chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto 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, as every day required: and they sanctified for the Levites; and the Levites sanctified for the sons of Aaron. 016 NEH 013 001 On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found written, that an Ammonite and a Moabite should not enter into the assembly 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, to curse them: howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing. 016 NEH 013 003 And it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude. 016 NEH 013 004 Now before this, Eliashib the priest, who was appointed over the chambers of the house of our God, being allied unto Tobiah, 016 NEH 013 005 had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid the meal offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the wine, and the oil, which were given by commandment to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the heave offerings for 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 went unto the king, and after certain days asked I leave of the king: 016 NEH 013 007 and I came to Jerusalem, and understood of the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God. 016 NEH 013 008 And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber. 016 NEH 013 009 Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meal offerings and the frankincense. 016 NEH 013 010 And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them; so that the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field. 016 NEH 013 011 Then contended I 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 brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the wine and the oil unto 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 counted faithful, and their business was to distribute unto 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 the observances thereof. 016 NEH 013 015 In those days saw I in Judah some treading winepresses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses [therewith]; 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 wherein they sold victuals. 016 NEH 013 016 There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought in fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem. 016 NEH 013 017 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto 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 doors should be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I over 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 ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice. 016 NEH 013 021 Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath. 016 NEH 013 022 And I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember unto me, O my God, this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy. 016 NEH 013 023 In those days also saw I the Jews that had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon, [and] of Moab: 016 NEH 013 024 and their children spake 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 unto their sons, nor take their daughters for 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, and he was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did strange women cause to sin. 016 NEH 013 027 Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to trespass against our God in marrying strange 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 chased him 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 cleansed I them from all strangers, and appointed wards for the priests and for the Levites, every one in his work; 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 which reigned, from India even unto Ethiopia, 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 unto 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 shewed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty many days, even an hundred and fourscore days. 017 EST 001 005 And when these days were fulfilled, he king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king’s palace; 017 EST 001 006 [There were hangings of] white [cloth], [of] green, and [of] blue, 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 white, and yellow, and black marble. 017 EST 001 007 And they gave them drink in vessels of gold, (the vessels being diverse 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 could compel: 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 ministered in the presence of Ahasuerus the king, 017 EST 001 011 to bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to shew the peoples 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 the chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him. 017 EST 001 013 Then the king said to the wise men, which knew the times, (for so was the king’s manner toward all that knew law and judgment; 017 EST 001 014 and the next unto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, which saw the king’s face, and sat first in the kingdom: ) 017 EST 001 015 What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not done the bidding 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 peoples that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus. 017 EST 001 017 For this deed of the queen shall come abroad unto all women, to make their husbands contemptible in their eyes, 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 And this day shall the princesses of Persia and Media which have heard of the deed of the queen say [the like] unto all the king’s princes, So [shall there arise] much contempt and wrath. 017 EST 001 019 If it please the king, let there go forth a royal commandment 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 unto another that is better than she. 017 EST 001 020 And when the king’s decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his kingdom, (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 thereof, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and should publish it according to the language of his people. 017 EST 002 001 After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was pacified, 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 unto 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 young virgins unto Shushan the palace, they may gather together all the fair to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hegai 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 which pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king, and he did so. 017 EST 002 005 There was a certain Jew in Shushan the palace, 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 which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar he 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 maiden was fair and beautiful; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own daughter. 017 EST 002 008 So it came to pass, when the king’s commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken into 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 of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with her portions, and the seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out of the king’s house: and he removed her and her maidens to the best place of the house of the women. 017 EST 002 010 Esther had not shewed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she should not shew it. 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 the turn of every maiden was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that it had been done to her according to the law for the women, twelve months, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, [to wit], six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with the things for the purifying of the women, ) 017 EST 002 013 then in this wise came the maiden unto the king, whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king’s house. 017 EST 002 014 In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and that she were 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, was come to go in unto 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 unto 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 unto 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 shewed her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like 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 which kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus. 017 EST 002 022 And the thing was known to Mordecai, who shewed it unto Esther the queen; and Esther told the king [thereof] in Mordecai’s name. 017 EST 002 023 And when inquisition was made of the matter, and it was found to be so, 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 did king Ahasuerus promote 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 down, and did reverence to Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not down, nor did him reverence. 017 EST 003 003 Then the king’s servants, that were in the king’s gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king’s commandment? 017 EST 003 004 Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew. 017 EST 003 005 And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not down, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath. 017 EST 003 006 But he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore 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, which 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], which is the month Adar. 017 EST 003 008 And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from [those of] every people; neither keep they the king’s laws: therefore it is not for the king’s profit to suffer them. 017 EST 003 009 If it please the king, let it be written that they be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those that have the charge of the [king’s] 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 unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews’ enemy. 017 EST 003 011 And the king said unto 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 in the first month, on the thirteenth day thereof, and there was written according to all that Haman commanded unto the king’s satraps, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the princes of every people; to every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and it was sealed with the king’s ring. 017 EST 003 013 And letters were sent by posts into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to slay, 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 take the spoil of them for a prey. 017 EST 003 014 A copy of the writing, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published unto all the peoples, that they should be ready against that day. 017 EST 003 015 The posts went forth in haste by the king’s commandment, and the decree was given out in Shushan the palace: and the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was perplexed. 017 EST 004 001 Now when Mordecai knew all that was done, Mordecai rent 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 he came even before the king’s gate: for none might enter within the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth. 017 EST 004 003 And in every province, whithersoever 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 And Esther’s maidens and her chamberlains came and told it her; and the queen was exceedingly grieved: and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take his sackcloth from off him: but he received it not. 017 EST 004 005 Then called Esther for Hathach, one of the king’s chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and charged him to go to Mordecai, to know what this was, and why it was. 017 EST 004 006 So Hathach went forth to Mordecai unto the broad place of the city, which was before the king’s gate. 017 EST 004 007 And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and the exact 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 out in Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her; and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him, for her people. 017 EST 004 009 And Hathach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai. 017 EST 004 010 Then Esther spake unto Hathach, and gave him a message unto Mordecai, [saying]: 017 EST 004 011 All the king’s servants, and the people of the king’s provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law for him, that he be put to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days. 017 EST 004 012 And they told to Mordecai Esther’s words. 017 EST 004 013 Then Mordecai bade them return answer unto 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 altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall relief and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place, but thou and thy father’s house shall perish: and who knoweth whether thou art not come to the kingdom for such a time as this? 017 EST 004 015 Then Esther bade them return answer unto Mordecai, 017 EST 004 016 Go, gather together 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 in like manner; and so will I go in unto 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, over against the king’s house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against 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 unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be given thee even to the half of the kingdom. 017 EST 005 004 And Esther said, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him. 017 EST 005 005 Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that it may be done 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 unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall he 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 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 tomorrow as the king hath said. 017 EST 005 009 Then went Haman forth that day joyful and glad of heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, that he stood not up nor moved for him, he was filled with wrath against Mordecai. 017 EST 005 010 Nevertheless Haman refrained himself, and went home; and he sent and fetched his friends and Zeresh his wife. 017 EST 005 011 And Haman recounted unto them the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein 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 did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and tomorrow also am I invited by her together 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 unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made. 017 EST 006 001 On that night could not the king 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 told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, of those that kept the door, who had sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus. 017 EST 006 003 And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king’s servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him. 017 EST 006 004 And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king’s house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him. 017 EST 006 005 And the king’s servants said unto 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 unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman said in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself? 017 EST 006 007 And Haman said unto the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour, 017 EST 006 008 let royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and on the head of which a crown royal is set: 017 EST 006 009 and let the apparel and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man withal whom the king delighteth to honour, and cause him to ride 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 took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and caused him to ride through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto 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 recounted unto Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai, before whom thou hast begun to fall, be of the seed of the Jews, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him. 017 EST 006 014 While they were yet talking with him, came the king’s chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto 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 unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall he granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed. 017 EST 007 003 Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it 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 bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king’s damage. 017 EST 007 005 Then spake the king Ahasuerus and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so? 017 EST 007 006 And Esther said, An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen. 017 EST 007 007 And the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine [and 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 was fallen upon the couch whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he even force the queen before me in the house? As the word went out of the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face. 017 EST 007 009 Then said Harbonah, one of the chamberlains that were before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman hath made for Mordecai, who spake good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. And the king said, Hang him thereon. 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 did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her. 017 EST 008 002 And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman. 017 EST 008 003 And Esther spake 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 device that he had devised against the Jews. 017 EST 008 004 Then the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre. So Esther arose, and stood before the king. 017 EST 008 005 And she said, If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be 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 which are in all the king’s provinces: 017 EST 008 006 for how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred? 017 EST 008 007 Then the king Ahasuerus said unto 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 to the Jews, as it liketh 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, may no man reverse. 017 EST 008 009 Then were the king’s scribes called at that time, in the third month, which is the month, Sivan, on the three and twentieth [day] thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the satraps, and the governors and princes of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto 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 name of king Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the king’s ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback, riding on swift steeds that were used in the king’s service, bred of the stud: 017 EST 008 011 wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, [their] little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey, 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 A copy of the writing, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published unto all the peoples, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies. 017 EST 008 014 So the posts that rode upon swift steeds that were used in the king’s service went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king’s commandment; and the decree was given out in Shushan the palace. 017 EST 008 015 And Mordecai went forth front the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a robe of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan shouted 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, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness and joy, a feast and a good day. And many from among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews was fallen upon them. 017 EST 009 001 Now in the twelfth month, which 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 rule over them; whereas 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 hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them was fallen upon all the peoples. 017 EST 009 003 And all the princes of the provinces, and the satraps, and the governors, and they that did the king’s business, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai was fallen upon them. 017 EST 009 004 For Mordecai was great in the king’s house, and his fame went forth throughout all the provinces: for the man Mordecai waxed greater and greater. 017 EST 009 005 And the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and with slaughter and destruction, and did what they would unto them 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 Vaizatha, 017 EST 009 010 the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jews’ enemy, slew they; 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 unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what then 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 please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do tomorrow also according unto 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 a decree was given out in Shushan; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons. 017 EST 009 015 And the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men in Shushan; but on the spoil they laid not their hand. 017 EST 009 016 And the other Jews that were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of them that hated them seventy and five thousand; but on the spoil they laid not their hand. 017 EST 009 017 [This was done] 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 in Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth [day] thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth [day] of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness. 017 EST 009 019 Therefore do the Jews of the villages, that dwell in the unwalled towns, make 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 unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far, 017 EST 009 021 to enjoin 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 wherein the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to gladness, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, 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 unto 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 [the matter] came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head; and that he and his sons should he hanged on the gallows. 017 EST 009 026 Wherefore they called these days Purim, after the name of Pur. Therefore because of all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and that which had come unto them, 017 EST 009 027 the Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to the writing thereof, and according to the appointed time thereof, 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 from 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 letters unto 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 appointed times, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had ordained for themselves and for their seed, in the matter of the fastings and their cry. 017 EST 009 032 And the commandment 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 full account of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto 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 unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren; seeking the good 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 eschewed evil. 018 JOB 001 002 And there were born unto 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 she-asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east. 018 JOB 001 004 And his sons went and held a feast in the house of each one upon his day; and they 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 gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burn offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced 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 unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. 018 JOB 001 008 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil. 018 JOB 001 009 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? 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 thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will renounce thee to thy face. 018 JOB 001 012 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD. 018 JOB 001 013 And it fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house, 018 JOB 001 014 that there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses 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 am escaped alone to tell thee. 018 JOB 001 016 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am 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 taken them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am 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 am escaped alone to tell thee. 018 JOB 001 020 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped; 018 JOB 001 021 and he said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: 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 with foolishness. 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 unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. 018 JOB 002 003 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil: and he still holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause. 018 JOB 002 004 And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. 018 JOB 002 005 But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce thee to thy face. 018 JOB 002 006 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; only spare his life. 018 JOB 002 007 So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown. 018 JOB 002 008 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat among the ashes. 018 JOB 002 009 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still hold fast thine integrity? renounce God, and die. 018 JOB 002 010 But he said unto 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 was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: and they made an appointment together to come to bemoan him and to comfort him. 018 JOB 002 012 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent 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 spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great. 018 JOB 003 001 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. 018 JOB 003 002 And Job answered and said: 018 JOB 003 003 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night which 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 claim it for their own; let a cloud dwell upon it; let all that maketh black the day terrify it. 018 JOB 003 006 As for that night, let thick darkness seize upon it: let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months. 018 JOB 003 007 Lo, let that night be barren; let no joyful voice come therein. 018 JOB 003 008 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to rouse up leviathan. 018 JOB 003 009 Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark: let it look for light, but have none; neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning: 018 JOB 003 010 Because it shut not up the doors of my [mother’s] womb, nor hid trouble from mine 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 belly? 018 JOB 003 012 Why did the knees receive me? or why the breasts, that I should suck? 018 JOB 003 013 For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept; then had I been at rest: 018 JOB 003 014 With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built up waste 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 be at rest. 018 JOB 003 018 There the prisoners are at ease together; they hear not the voice of the taskmaster. 018 JOB 003 019 The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master. 018 JOB 003 020 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul; 018 JOB 003 021 Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; 018 JOB 003 022 Which 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 water. 018 JOB 003 025 For the thing which I fear cometh upon me, and that which I am afraid of cometh unto me. 018 JOB 003 026 I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; but trouble cometh. 018 JOB 004 001 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said, 018 JOB 004 002 If one assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself 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 upholden him that was falling, and thou hast confirmed the feeble knees. 018 JOB 004 005 But now it is come unto thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled. 018 JOB 004 006 Is not thy fear [of God] thy confidence, [and] thy hope the integrity of thy ways? 018 JOB 004 007 Remember, I pray thee, who [ever] perished, being innocent? or where were the upright cut off? 018 JOB 004 008 According as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow trouble, reap the same. 018 JOB 004 009 By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his anger 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 whelps of the lioness are scattered abroad. 018 JOB 004 012 Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a whisper thereof. 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 the appearance thereof; a form was before mine 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 putteth no trust in his servants; and his angels he chargeth with folly: 018 JOB 004 019 How much more them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth! 018 JOB 004 020 Betwixt morning and evening they are destroyed: they perish for ever without any regarding it. 018 JOB 004 021 Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them? they die, and that without wisdom. 018 JOB 005 001 Call now; is there any that will answer thee? and to which of the holy ones wilt thou turn? 018 JOB 005 002 For vexation killeth the foolish man, and jealousy 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 snare gapeth for their substance. 018 JOB 005 006 For affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; 018 JOB 005 007 But man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. 018 JOB 005 008 But as for me, I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause: 018 JOB 005 009 Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvelous things without number: 018 JOB 005 010 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields: 018 JOB 005 011 So that he setteth up on high those that be low; and those which mourn are exalted to safety. 018 JOB 005 012 He frustrateth 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 froward is carried headlong. 018 JOB 005 014 They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope at noonday as in the night. 018 JOB 005 015 But he saveth from the sword of their mouth, even the needy 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 dearth 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 tent is in peace; and thou shalt visit thy fold, and shalt miss nothing. 018 JOB 005 025 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth. 018 JOB 005 026 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn 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 Then Job answered and said, 018 JOB 006 002 Oh that my vexation were but weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together! 018 JOB 006 003 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas: therefore have my words been rash. 018 JOB 006 004 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof my spirit drinketh up: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me. 018 JOB 006 005 Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder? 018 JOB 006 006 Can that which hath no savour be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg? 018 JOB 006 007 My soul refuseth to touch [them]; they are as loathsome meat to me. 018 JOB 006 008 Oh 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 crush 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 exult in pain that spareth not: for I have not denied the words of the Holy One. 018 JOB 006 011 What is my strength, that I should wait? and what is mine end, at I should be patient? 018 JOB 006 012 Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass? 018 JOB 006 013 Is it not that I have no help in me, and that effectual working is driven quite from me? 018 JOB 006 014 To him that is ready to faint kindness [should be shewed] from his friend; even to him that forsaketh the fear of the Almighty. 018 JOB 006 015 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, as the channel of brooks that pass away; 018 JOB 006 016 Which are black by reason of the ice, [and] wherein the snow hideth itself: 018 JOB 006 017 What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place. 018 JOB 006 018 The caravans [that travel] by the way of them turn aside; they go up into the waste, and perish. 018 JOB 006 019 The caravans of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them. 018 JOB 006 020 They were ashamed because they had hoped; they came thither, and were confounded. 018 JOB 006 021 For now ye are nothing; ye see a terror, and are afraid. 018 JOB 006 022 Did I say, Give unto me? or, offer a present for me of your substance? 018 JOB 006 023 Or, Deliver me from the adversary’s hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors? 018 JOB 006 024 Teach me, and I will hold my peace: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred. 018 JOB 006 025 How forcible are words of uprightness! but what doth your arguing reprove? 018 JOB 006 026 Do ye imagine to reprove words? seeing that the speeches of one that is desperate are as wind. 018 JOB 006 027 Yea, ye would cast [lots] upon the fatherless, and make merchandise of your friend. 018 JOB 006 028 Now therefore be pleased to look upon me; for surely I shall not lie to your face. 018 JOB 006 029 Return, I pray you, let there be no injustice; yea, return again, my cause is righteous. 018 JOB 006 030 Is there injustice on my tongue? cannot my taste discern mischievous things? 018 JOB 007 001 Is there not a warfare to man upon earth? and are not his days like the days of an hireling? 018 JOB 007 002 As a servant that earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling that looketh for his wages: 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? but the night is long; and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day. 018 JOB 007 005 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin closeth up and breaketh out afresh. 018 JOB 007 006 My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope. 018 JOB 007 007 Oh remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good. 018 JOB 007 008 The eye of him that seeth me shall behold me no more: thine eyes shall be upon me, but I shall not be. 018 JOB 007 009 As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away, so he that goeth down to Sheol 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 refrain 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 sea-monster, 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 [these] my bones. 018 JOB 007 016 I loathe [my life]; I would not live alway: 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 thine 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 down my spittle? 018 JOB 007 020 If I have sinned, what do I unto thee, O thou watcher of men? why hast thou set me as a mark for thee, so that I am a burden to myself? 018 JOB 007 021 And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I lie down in the dust; and thou shall seek me diligently, 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 mighty 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 have delivered them into the hand of their transgression: 018 JOB 008 005 If thou wouldest seek diligently unto God, 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 And though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase. 018 JOB 008 008 For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and apply thyself to that which their fathers have searched out: 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 not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart? 018 JOB 008 011 Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water? 018 JOB 008 012 Whilst it is yet in its greenness, [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 hope of the godless man shall perish: 018 JOB 008 014 Whose confidence shall break in sunder, and whose trust is a spider’s web. 018 JOB 008 015 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold fast thereby, but it shall not endure. 018 JOB 008 016 He is green before the sun, and his shoots go forth over his garden. 018 JOB 008 017 His roots are wrapped about the heap, he beholdeth the place of stones. 018 JOB 008 018 If he 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 spring. 018 JOB 008 020 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he uphold the evil-doers. 018 JOB 008 021 He will yet fill thy mouth with laughter, and thy lips with shouting. 018 JOB 008 022 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the tent of the wicked shall be no more. 018 JOB 009 001 Then Job answered and said, 018 JOB 009 002 Of a truth I know that it is so: but how can man be just with God? 018 JOB 009 003 If he be pleased to contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand. 018 JOB 009 004 [He is] wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and prospered? 018 JOB 009 005 Which removeth the mountains, and they know it not, when he overturneth them in his anger. 018 JOB 009 006 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble. 018 JOB 009 007 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars. 018 JOB 009 008 Which alone stretcheth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. 018 JOB 009 009 Which maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. 018 JOB 009 010 Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, marvelous things 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 seizeth [the prey], who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou? 018 JOB 009 013 God will not withdraw his anger; the helpers of Rahab 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; I would make supplication to mine adversary. 018 JOB 009 016 If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he hearkened unto 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 suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness. 018 JOB 009 019 If [we speak] of the strength of the mighty, lo, [he is there]! and if of judgment, who will appoint me a time? 018 JOB 009 020 Though I be righteous, mine own mouth shall condemn me: though I be perfect, it shall prove me perverse. 018 JOB 009 021 I am perfect; I regard not myself; I despise my life. 018 JOB 009 022 It is all one; therefore I say, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked. 018 JOB 009 023 If the scourge slay suddenly, he will mock 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 the judges thereof; if [it be] not [he], who then is it? 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 swoopeth on the prey. 018 JOB 009 027 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will put off my [sad] countenance, and be of good cheer: 018 JOB 009 028 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent. 018 JOB 009 029 I shall be condemned; 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 wilt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me. 018 JOB 009 032 For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, that we should come together in judgment. 018 JOB 009 033 There is no daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both. 018 JOB 009 034 Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his terror make me afraid: 018 JOB 009 035 Then would I speak, and not fear him; for I am not so in myself. 018 JOB 010 001 My soul is weary of my life; I will give free course to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. 018 JOB 010 002 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me. 018 JOB 010 003 Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine 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, or thy years as man’s days, 018 JOB 010 006 That thou inquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin, 018 JOB 010 007 Although thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand? 018 JOB 010 008 Thine hands have framed me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me. 018 JOB 010 009 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast fashioned me as 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 knit me together with bones and sinews. 018 JOB 010 012 Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. 018 JOB 010 013 Yet these things thou didst hide in thine 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 mine iniquity. 018 JOB 010 015 If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet shall I not lift up my head; being filled with ignominy and looking upon mine affliction. 018 JOB 010 016 And if [my head] exalt itself, thou huntest me as a lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvelous upon me. 018 JOB 010 017 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and warfare are with me. 018 JOB 010 018 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? 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 whence I shall not return, [even] to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death; 018 JOB 010 022 A land of thick darkness, as darkness [itself]; [a land] 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 boastings make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed? 018 JOB 011 004 For thou sayest, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes. 018 JOB 011 005 But Oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee; 018 JOB 011 006 And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that is manifold in effectual working! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth. 018 JOB 011 007 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? 018 JOB 011 008 It is high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than Sheol; what canst thou know? (Sheol h7585) 018 JOB 011 009 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea. 018 JOB 011 010 If he pass through, and shut up, and call unto judgment, then who can hinder him? 018 JOB 011 011 For he knoweth vain men: he seeth iniquity also, even though he consider it not. 018 JOB 011 012 But vain man is void of understanding, yea, man is born as a wild ass’s colt. 018 JOB 011 013 If thou set thine heart aright, and stretch out thine hands toward him; 018 JOB 011 014 If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not unrighteousness dwell in thy tents; 018 JOB 011 015 Surely then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear: 018 JOB 011 016 For thou shalt forget thy misery; thou shalt remember it as waters that are passed away: 018 JOB 011 017 And [thy] life shall be clearer than the noonday; though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning. 018 JOB 011 018 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt search [about thee], and 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 unto thee. 018 JOB 011 020 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall have no way to flee, and their hope shall be the giving up of the ghost. 018 JOB 012 001 Then 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 that is a laughing-stock to his neighbour, [a man] that called upon God, and he answered him: the just, the perfect man is a laughing-stock. 018 JOB 012 005 In the thought of him that is at ease there is contempt for misfortune; it is ready for them whose foot slippeth. 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 unto thee. 018 JOB 012 009 Who knoweth not in all these, that the hand of 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, even as the palate tasteth its meat? 018 JOB 012 012 With aged men is wisdom, and in length of days understanding. 018 JOB 012 013 With him is wisdom and might; 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; again, he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth. 018 JOB 012 016 With him is strength and effectual working; the deceived and the deceiver are his. 018 JOB 012 017 He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and judges maketh he fools. 018 JOB 012 018 He looseth the bond of kings, and bindeth their loins with a girdle. 018 JOB 012 019 He leadeth priests away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty. 018 JOB 012 020 He removeth the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the elders. 018 JOB 012 021 He poureth contempt upon princes, and looseth the belt of the strong. 018 JOB 012 022 He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death. 018 JOB 012 023 He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he spreadeth the nations abroad, and bringeth them in. 018 JOB 012 024 He taketh away the heart of the chiefs 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, mine eye hath seen all [this], mine ear hath heard and understood it. 018 JOB 013 002 What ye know, [the same] do I know also: I am not inferior unto 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 Oh 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 unrighteously for God, and talk deceitfully for him? 018 JOB 013 008 Will ye respect his person? will ye contend for God? 018 JOB 013 009 Is it good that he should search you out? or as one deceiveth a man, will ye deceive him? 018 JOB 013 010 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly respect persons. 018 JOB 013 011 Shall not his excellency make you afraid, and his dread fall upon you? 018 JOB 013 012 Your memorable sayings [are] proverbs of ashes, your defences [are] defences of clay. 018 JOB 013 013 Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what wilt. 018 JOB 013 014 Wherefore should I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand? 018 JOB 013 015 Though he slay me, yet will I wait for him: nevertheless I will maintain my ways before him. 018 JOB 013 016 This also shall be my salvation; for a godless man shall not come before him. 018 JOB 013 017 Hear diligently my speech, and let my declaration be in your ears. 018 JOB 013 018 Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I am righteous. 018 JOB 013 019 Who is he that will contend with me? for now shall I hold my peace and give up the ghost. 018 JOB 013 020 Only do not two things unto me, then will I not hide myself from thy face: 018 JOB 013 021 Withdraw thine hand far from me; and let not thy terror 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 mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin. 018 JOB 013 024 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy? 018 JOB 013 025 Wilt thou harass a driven leaf? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble? 018 JOB 013 026 For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to inherit the iniquities of my youth: 018 JOB 013 027 Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and markest all my paths; thou drawest thee a line about the soles of my feet: 018 JOB 013 028 Though I am like a rotten thing that consumeth, like 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 thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest 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, and thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass; 018 JOB 014 006 Look away 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 be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. 018 JOB 014 008 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; 018 JOB 014 009 Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and put 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 river decayeth and drieth up; 018 JOB 014 012 So man lieth down and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep. 018 JOB 014 013 Oh that thou wouldest hide me in Sheol, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! (Sheol h7585) 018 JOB 014 014 If a man die, shall he live [again]? all the days of my warfare would I wait, till my release should come. 018 JOB 014 015 Thou shouldest call, and I would answer thee: thou wouldest have a desire to the work of thine hands. 018 JOB 014 016 But 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 fastenest up mine 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; the overflowings thereof wash away 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 hath pain, and his soul within him mourneth. 018 JOB 015 001 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said, 018 JOB 015 002 Should a wise man make answer with vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind? 018 JOB 015 003 Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches wherewith he can do no good? 018 JOB 015 004 Yea, thou doest away with fear, and restrainest devotion before God. 018 JOB 015 005 For thine iniquity teacheth thy mouth, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty. 018 JOB 015 006 Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I; yea, thine own lips testify against thee. 018 JOB 015 007 Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou brought forth before the hills? 018 JOB 015 008 Hast thou heard the secret counsel of God? and dost thou restrain 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 the very aged men, much elder than thy father. 018 JOB 015 011 Are the consolations of God too small for thee, and the word [that dealeth] gently with thee? 018 JOB 015 012 Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and why do thine eyes wink? 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 which 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 less one that is abominable and corrupt, a man that drinketh iniquity like water! 018 JOB 015 017 I will shew thee, hear thou 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 Unto whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed among them: ) 018 JOB 015 020 The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor. 018 JOB 015 021 A sound of terrors is in his ears; in prosperity the spoiler shall come upon him: 018 JOB 015 022 He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of 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 Distress and anguish make him afraid; they prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle: 018 JOB 015 025 Because he hath stretched out his hand against God, and behaveth himself proudly against the Almighty; 018 JOB 015 026 He runneth upon him with a [stiff] neck, with the thick bosses of his bucklers: 018 JOB 015 027 Because he hath covered his face with his fatness, and made collops of fat on his flanks; 018 JOB 015 028 And he hath dwelt in desolate cities, in houses which no man inhabited, which were ready to become heaps. 018 JOB 015 029 He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall their produce bend to 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 him not trust in vanity, deceiving himself: 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 company of the godless shall be barren, and fire shall consume the tents of bribery. 018 JOB 015 035 They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity, and their belly 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 provoketh 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 join words together against you, and shake mine head at you. 018 JOB 016 005 [But] I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the solace of my lips should assuage [your grief]. 018 JOB 016 006 Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged: 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 laid fast hold on me, [which] is a witness [against me]: and my leanness riseth up against me, it testifieth to my face. 018 JOB 016 009 He hath torn me in his wrath, and persecuted me; he hath gnashed upon me with his teeth: mine adversary 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 gather themselves together against me. 018 JOB 016 011 God delivereth me to the ungodly, and casteth me into the hands of the wicked. 018 JOB 016 012 I was at ease, and he brake me asunder; yea, he hath taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces: he hath also set me up for his mark. 018 JOB 016 013 His archers compass me round about, 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 have laid my horn in the dust. 018 JOB 016 016 My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death; 018 JOB 016 017 Although there is no violence in mine hands, and my prayer is pure. 018 JOB 016 018 O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no [resting] place. 018 JOB 016 019 Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and he that coucheth for me is on high. 018 JOB 016 020 My friends scorn me: [but] mine eye poureth out tears unto God; 018 JOB 016 021 That he would maintain the right of a man with God, and of a son of man with his neighbour! 018 JOB 016 022 For when a few years are come, I shall go the way whence I shall not return. 018 JOB 017 001 My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct, the grave is [ready] for me. 018 JOB 017 002 Surely there are mockers with me, and mine eye abideth in their provocation. 018 JOB 017 003 Give now a pledge, be surety for me with thyself; who is there 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 denounceth his friends for a prey, even the eyes of his children shall fail. 018 JOB 017 006 He hath made me also a byword of the people; and I am become an open abhorring. 018 JOB 017 007 Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow. 018 JOB 017 008 Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the godless. 018 JOB 017 009 Yet shall the righteous hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall wax stronger and stronger. 018 JOB 017 010 But return ye, all of you, and come now: and I shall not find a wise man among you. 018 JOB 017 011 My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the droughts of my heart. 018 JOB 017 012 They change the night into a day: the fight, [say they], is near unto the darkness. 018 JOB 017 013 If I look for Sheol as mine house; if I have spread my couch in the darkness; (Sheol h7585) 018 JOB 017 014 If I have said to corruption, Thou art my father; to the worm, [Thou art] my mother, and my sister; 018 JOB 017 015 Where then is my hope? and as for my hope, who shall see it? 018 JOB 017 016 It shall go down to the bars of Sheol, when once there is rest in the dust. (Sheol h7585) 018 JOB 018 001 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, 018 JOB 018 002 How long will ye lay snares for words? consider, and afterwards we will speak. 018 JOB 018 003 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, [and] are become unclean in your sight? 018 JOB 018 004 Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, shall the earth be forsaken for thee? or 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 above him shall be put out. 018 JOB 018 007 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, 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 the toils. 018 JOB 018 009 A gin shall take [him] by the heel, [and] a snare shall lay hold on him. 018 JOB 018 010 A noose is hid 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 chase him at his heels. 018 JOB 018 012 His strength shall be hunger-bitten and calamity shall be ready for his halting. 018 JOB 018 013 It shall devour the members of his body, [yea], the firstborn of death shall devour his members. 018 JOB 018 014 He shall be rooted out of his tent wherein he trusteth; and he shall be brought to the king of terrors. 018 JOB 018 015 There shall dwell in his tent that which 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 His remembrance 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 have neither son nor son’s son among his people, nor any remaining where he sojourned. 018 JOB 018 020 They that come after shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted. 018 JOB 018 021 Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous, 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 deal hardly with me. 018 JOB 019 004 And be it indeed that I have erred, mine 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 subverted me [in my cause], and hath compassed me with his net. 018 JOB 019 007 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry for help, but there is no judgment. 018 JOB 019 008 He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and 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 broken me down on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he plucked up like a tree. 018 JOB 019 011 He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as [one of] his adversaries. 018 JOB 019 012 His troops come on together, and cast up their way against me, and encamp round about my tent. 018 JOB 019 013 He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are wholly estranged from me. 018 JOB 019 014 My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. 018 JOB 019 015 They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight. 018 JOB 019 016 I call unto my servant, and he giveth me no answer, [though] I entreat him with my mouth. 018 JOB 019 017 My breath is strange to my wife, and my supplication to the children of my [mother’s] womb. 018 JOB 019 018 Even young children despise me; if I arise, they speak against me. 018 JOB 019 019 All my inward friends abhor 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 am 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 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were inscribed in a book! 018 JOB 019 024 That with an iron pen and lead they were graven in the rock for ever! 018 JOB 019 025 But I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand up at the last upon the earth: 018 JOB 019 026 And after my skin hath been thus destroyed, yet from my flesh shall I see God: 018 JOB 019 027 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another. My reins are consumed within me. 018 JOB 019 028 If ye say, How we will persecute him! seeing that the root of the matter is found in me; 018 JOB 019 029 Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath [bringeth] the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment. 018 JOB 020 001 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said, 018 JOB 020 002 Therefore do my thoughts give answer to me, even by reason of my haste that is in me. 018 JOB 020 003 I have heard the reproof which putteth me to shame, and the spirit of my understanding answereth me. 018 JOB 020 004 Knowest thou [not] this of old time, since man was placed upon earth, 018 JOB 020 005 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the godless but for a moment? 018 JOB 020 006 Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds; 018 JOB 020 007 Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he? 018 JOB 020 008 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night. 018 JOB 020 009 The eye which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him. 018 JOB 020 010 His children shall seek the favour of the poor, and his hands shall give back his wealth. 018 JOB 020 011 His bones are full of his youth, but it shall lie down with him in the dust. 018 JOB 020 012 Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue; 018 JOB 020 013 Though he spare it, and will not let it go, but keep it still within his mouth; 018 JOB 020 014 Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him. 018 JOB 020 015 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly. 018 JOB 020 016 He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper’s tongue shall slay him. 018 JOB 020 017 He shall not look upon the rivers, the flowing streams of honey and butter. 018 JOB 020 018 That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down; according to the substance that he hath gotten, he shall not rejoice. 018 JOB 020 019 For he hath oppressed and forsaken the poor; he hath violently taken away an house, and he shall not build it up. 018 JOB 020 020 Because he knew no quietness within him, he shall not save aught of that wherein he delighteth. 018 JOB 020 021 There was nothing left that he devoured not; therefore his prosperity shall not endure. 018 JOB 020 022 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: the hand of every one that is in misery shall come upon him. 018 JOB 020 023 When he is about to fill his belly, [God] shall cast the fierceness of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating. 018 JOB 020 024 He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of brass shall strike him through. 018 JOB 020 025 He draweth it forth, and it cometh out of his body: yea, the glittering point cometh out of his gall; terrors are upon him. 018 JOB 020 026 All darkness is laid up for his treasures: a fire not blown [by man] shall devour him; it shall consume that which is left in his tent. 018 JOB 020 027 The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, and the earth shall rise up against him. 018 JOB 020 028 The increase of his house shall depart, [his goods] shall flow away in the day of his wrath. 018 JOB 020 029 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God. 018 JOB 021 001 Then Job answered and said, 018 JOB 021 002 Hear diligently my speech; and let this be your consolations. 018 JOB 021 003 Suffer me, and I also will speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on. 018 JOB 021 004 As for me, is my complaint to man? and why should I not be impatient? 018 JOB 021 005 Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth. 018 JOB 021 006 Even when I remember I am troubled, and horror taketh hold on my flesh. 018 JOB 021 007 Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, wax mighty in power? 018 JOB 021 008 Their seed is established with them in their sight, and their offspring before their eyes. 018 JOB 021 009 Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them. 018 JOB 021 010 Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf. 018 JOB 021 011 They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance. 018 JOB 021 012 They sing to the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the pipe. 018 JOB 021 013 They spend their days in prosperity, and in a moment they go down to Sheol. (Sheol h7585) 018 JOB 021 014 Yet they said unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways. 018 JOB 021 015 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him? 018 JOB 021 016 Lo, their prosperity is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me. 018 JOB 021 017 How oft is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out? that their calamity cometh upon them? that [God] distributeth sorrows in his anger? 018 JOB 021 018 That they are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away? 018 JOB 021 019 [Ye say], God layeth up his iniquity for his children. Let him recompense it unto himself, that he may know it. 018 JOB 021 020 Let his own eyes see his destruction, and let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty. 018 JOB 021 021 For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst? 018 JOB 021 022 Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high. 018 JOB 021 023 One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet: 018 JOB 021 024 His breasts are full of milk, and the marrow of his bones is moistened. 018 JOB 021 025 And another dieth in bitterness of soul, and never tasteth of good. 018 JOB 021 026 They lie down alike in the dust, and the worm covereth them. 018 JOB 021 027 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me. 018 JOB 021 028 For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? and where is the tent wherein the wicked dwelt? 018 JOB 021 029 Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens? 018 JOB 021 030 That the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity? that they are led forth to the day of wrath? 018 JOB 021 031 Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done? 018 JOB 021 032 Yet shall he be borne to the grave, and shall keep watch over the tomb. 018 JOB 021 033 The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and all men shall draw after him, as there were innumerable before him. 018 JOB 021 034 How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth only falsehood? 018 JOB 022 001 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said, 018 JOB 022 002 Can a man be profitable unto God? surely he that is wise is profitable unto himself. 018 JOB 022 003 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous?

and behold the height of the stars, how high they are! 018 JOB 022 013 And thou sayest, What doth God know? can he judge through the thick darkness? 018 JOB 022 014 Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven. 018 JOB 022 015 Wilt thou keep the old way which wicked men have trodden? 018 JOB 022 016 Who were snatched away before their time, whose foundation was poured out as a stream: 018 JOB 022 017 Who said unto God, Depart from us; and, What can the Almighty do for us? 018 JOB 022 018 Yet he fired their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me. 018 JOB 022 019 The righteous see it, and are glad; and the innocent laugh them to scorn: 018 JOB 022 020 [Saying], Surely they that did rise up against us are cut off, and the remnant of them the fire hath consumed. 018 JOB 022 021 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. 018 JOB 022 022 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. 018 JOB 022 023 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up; if thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents. 018 JOB 022 024 And lay thou [thy] treasure in the dust, and [the gold of] Ophir among the stones of the brooks; 018 JOB 022 025 And the Almighty shall be thy treasure, and precious silver unto thee. 018 JOB 022 026 For then shalt thou delight thyself in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God. 018 JOB 022 027 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee; and thou shalt pay thy vows. 018 JOB 022 028 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee; and light shall shine upon thy ways. 018 JOB 022 029 When they cast [thee] down, thou shalt say, [There is] lifting up; and the humble person he shall save. 018 JOB 022 030 He shall deliver [even] him that is not innocent: yea, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of thine hands. 018 JOB 023 001 Then Job answered and said, 018 JOB 023 002 Even today is my complaint rebellious: my stroke is heavier than my groaning. 018 JOB 023 003 Oh that I knew where I might find him, that I might come even to his seat! 018 JOB 023 004 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. 018 JOB 023 005 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me. 018 JOB 023 006 Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? Nay; but he would give heed unto me. 018 JOB 023 007 There the upright might reason with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge. 018 JOB 023 008 Behold, I go forward, but he is not [there]; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: 018 JOB 023 009 On the left hand, when he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him. 018 JOB 023 010 But he knoweth the way that I take; when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. 018 JOB 023 011 My foot hath held fast to his steps; his way have I kept, and turned not aside. 018 JOB 023 012 I have not gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. 018 JOB 023 013 But he is in one [mind], and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth. 018 JOB 023 014 For he performeth that which is appointed for me: and many such things are with him. 018 JOB 023 015 Therefore am I troubled at his presence; when I consider, I am afraid of him. 018 JOB 023 016 For God hath made my heart faint, and the Almighty hath troubled me: 018 JOB 023 017 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face. 018 JOB 024 001 Why are times not laid up by the Almighty? and why do not they which know him see his days? 018 JOB 024 002 There are that remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed them. 018 JOB 024 003 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow’s ox for a pledge. 018 JOB 024 004 They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together. 018 JOB 024 005 Behold, as wild asses in the desert they go forth to their work, seeking diligently for meat; the wilderness [yieldeth] them food for their children. 018 JOB 024 006 They cut their provender in the field; and they glean the vintage of the wicked. 018 JOB 024 007 They lie all night naked without clothing, and have no covering in the cold. 018 JOB 024 008 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter. 018 JOB 024 009 There are that pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor: 018 JOB 024 010 [So that] they go about naked without clothing, and being an-hungred they carry the sheaves; 018 JOB 024 011 They make oil within the walls of these men; they tread [their] winepresses, and suffer thirst. 018 JOB 024 012 From out of the populous city men groan, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God imputeth it not for folly. 018 JOB 024 013 These are of them that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof. 018 JOB 024 014 The murderer riseth with the light, he killeth the poor and needy; and in the night he is as a thief. 018 JOB 024 015 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and he disguiseth his face. 018 JOB 024 016 In the dark they dig through houses: they shut themselves up in the daytime; they know not the light. 018 JOB 024 017 For the morning is to all of them as the shadow of death; for they know the terrors of the shadow of death. 018 JOB 024 018 He is swift upon the face of the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he turneth not by the way of the vineyards. 018 JOB 024 019 Drought and heat consume the snow waters: [so doth] Sheol [those which] have sinned. (Sheol h7585) 018 JOB 024 020 The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered: and unrighteousness shall be broken as a tree. 018 JOB 024 021 He devoureth the barren that beareth not; and doeth not good to the widow. 018 JOB 024 022 He draweth away the mighty also by his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life. 018 JOB 024 023 [God] giveth them to be in security, and they rest thereon; and his eyes are upon their ways. 018 JOB 024 024 They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone; yea, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all other, and are cut off as the tops of the ears of corn. 018 JOB 024 025 And if it be not so now, who will prove me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth? 018 JOB 025 001 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, 018 JOB 025 002 Dominion and fear are with him; he maketh peace in his high places. 018 JOB 025 003 Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise? 018 JOB 025 004 How then can man be just with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman? 018 JOB 025 005 Behold, even the moon hath no brightness, and the stars are not pure in his sight: 018 JOB 025 006 How much less man, that is a worm! and the son of man, which is a worm! 018 JOB 026 001 Then Job answered and said, 018 JOB 026 002 How hast thou helped him that is without power! how hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength! 018 JOB 026 003 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge! 018 JOB 026 004 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came forth from thee? 018 JOB 026 005 They that are deceased tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof. 018 JOB 026 006 Sheol is naked before him, and Abaddon hath no covering.

018 JOB 027 001 And Job again took up his parable, and said, 018 JOB 027 002 As God liveth, who hath taken away my right; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul; 018 JOB 027 003 (For my life is yet whole in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; ) 018 JOB 027 004 Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, neither shall my tongue utter deceit. 018 JOB 027 005 God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me. 018 JOB 027 006 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach [me] so long as I live. 018 JOB 027 007 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and let him that riseth up against me be as the unrighteous. 018 JOB 027 008 For what is the hope of the godless, though he get him gain, when God taketh away his soul? 018 JOB 027 009 Will God hear his cry, when trouble cometh upon him? 018 JOB 027 010 Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times? 018 JOB 027 011 I will teach you concerning the hand of God; that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal. 018 JOB 027 012 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye become altogether vain? 018 JOB 027 013 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty. 018 JOB 027 014 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword; and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread. 018 JOB 027 015 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death, and his widows shall make no lamentation. 018 JOB 027 016 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay; 018 JOB 027 017 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver. 018 JOB 027 018 He buildeth his house as the moth, and as a booth which the keeper maketh. 018 JOB 027 019 He lieth down rich, but he shall not be gathered; he openeth his eyes, and he is not. 018 JOB 027 020 Terrors overtake him like waters; a tempest stealeth him away in the night. 018 JOB 027 021 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth; and it sweepeth him out of his place. 018 JOB 027 022 For [God] shall hurl at him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand. 018 JOB 027 023 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place. 018 JOB 028 001 Surely there is a mine for silver, and a place for gold which they refine. 018 JOB 028 002 Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone. 018 JOB 028 003 [Man] setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out to the furthest bound the stones of thick darkness and of the shadow of death. 018 JOB 028 004 He breaketh open a shaft away from where men sojourn; they are forgotten of the foot [that passeth by]; they hang afar from men, they swing to and fro. 018 JOB 028 005 As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and underneath it is turned up as it were by fire. 018 JOB 028 006 The stones thereof are the place of sapphires, and it hath dust of gold. 018 JOB 028 007 That path no bird of prey knoweth, neither hath the falcon’s eye seen it: 018 JOB 028 008 The proud beasts have not trodden it, nor hath the fierce lion passed thereby. 018 JOB 028 009 He putteth forth his hand upon the flinty rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots. 018 JOB 028 010 He cutteth out channels among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing. 018 JOB 028 011 He bindeth the streams that they trickle not; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light. 018 JOB 028 012 But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding? 018 JOB 028 013 Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living. 018 JOB 028 014 The deep saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me. 018 JOB 028 015 It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof. 018 JOB 028 016 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire. 018 JOB 028 017 Gold and glass cannot equal it: neither shall the exchange thereof be jewels of fine gold. 018 JOB 028 018 No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal: yea, the price of wisdom is above rubies. 018 JOB 028 019 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold. 018 JOB 028 020 Whence 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 a rumour thereof with our ears. 018 JOB 028 023 God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof. 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 a weight for the wind; yea, he meteth out 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 established it, yea, and searched it out. 018 JOB 028 028 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding. 018 JOB 029 001 And Job again took up his parable, and said, 018 JOB 029 002 Oh that I were as in the months of old, as in the days when God watched over me; 018 JOB 029 003 When his lamp shined upon my head, and by his light I walked through darkness; 018 JOB 029 004 As I was in the ripeness of my days, when the secret of God was upon my tent; 018 JOB 029 005 When the Almighty was yet with me, and my children were about me; 018 JOB 029 006 When my steps were washed with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil! 018 JOB 029 007 When I went forth to the gate unto 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 rose up and stood; 018 JOB 029 009 The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth; 018 JOB 029 010 The voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth. 018 JOB 029 011 For when the ear heard [me], then it blessed me; and when the eye saw [me], it gave witness unto me: 018 JOB 029 012 Because I delivered the poor that cried, the fatherless also, 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 justice 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 needy: and the cause of him that I knew not I searched out. 018 JOB 029 017 And I brake the jaws of the unrighteous, 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 is spread out to the waters, and the dew lieth all night upon my branch: 018 JOB 029 020 My glory is fresh in me, and my bow is renewed in my hand. 018 JOB 029 021 Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence for my counsel. 018 JOB 029 022 After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped 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 laughed on them, they believed [it] not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down. 018 JOB 029 025 I chose out their way, and sat [as] 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 have me in derision, whose fathers I disdained to set with the dogs of my flock. 018 JOB 030 002 Yea, the strength of their hands, whereto should it profit me? men in whom ripe age is perished. 018 JOB 030 003 They are gaunt with want and famine; they gnaw the dry ground; in the gloom of wasteness and desolation. 018 JOB 030 004 They pluck salt-wort by the bushes; and the roots of the broom [are] their meat. 018 JOB 030 005 They are driven forth from the midst [of men]; they cry after them as after a thief. 018 JOB 030 006 In the clefts of the valleys must they dwell, in holes of the earth and of the rocks. 018 JOB 030 007 Among the bushes they bray; under the nettles they are gathered together. 018 JOB 030 008 [They are] children of fools, yea, children of base men; they were scourged out of the land. 018 JOB 030 009 And now I am become their song, yea, I am a byword unto them. 018 JOB 030 010 They abhor me, they stand aloof from me, and spare not to spit in my face. 018 JOB 030 011 For he hath loosed his cord, and afflicted me, and they have cast off the bridle before me. 018 JOB 030 012 Upon my right hand rise the rabble; they thrust aside my feet, and they cast up against me their ways of destruction. 018 JOB 030 013 They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, [even] men that have no helper. 018 JOB 030 014 As through a wide breach they come: in the midst of the ruin they roll themselves [upon me]. 018 JOB 030 015 Terrors are turned upon me, they chase mine honour as the wind; and my welfare is passed away as a cloud. 018 JOB 030 016 And now my soul is poured out within me; days of affliction have taken hold upon me. 018 JOB 030 017 In the night season my bones are pierced in me, and the [pains] that gnaw me take no rest. 018 JOB 030 018 By the great force [of my disease] is my garment disfigured: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat. 018 JOB 030 019 He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes. 018 JOB 030 020 I cry unto thee, and thou dost not answer me: I stand up, and thou lookest at me. 018 JOB 030 021 Thou art turned to be cruel to me: with the might of thy hand thou persecutest me. 018 JOB 030 022 Thou liftest me up to the wind, thou causest me to ride [upon it]; and thou dissolvest me in the storm. 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 Surely against a ruinous heap he will not put forth his hand; though [it be] in his destruction, [one may utter] a cry because of these things. 018 JOB 030 025 Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the needy? 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 boil, and rest not; days of affliction are come upon me. 018 JOB 030 028 I go mourning without the sun: I stand up in the assembly, and cry for help. 018 JOB 030 029 I am a brother to jackals, and a companion to ostriches. 018 JOB 030 030 My skin is black, [and falleth] from me, and my bones are burned with heat. 018 JOB 030 031 Therefore is my harp [turned] to mourning, and my pipe into the voice of them that weep. 018 JOB 031 001 I MADE a covenant with mine eyes; how then should I look upon a maid? 018 JOB 031 002 For what [is] the portion of God from above, and the heritage of the Almighty from on high? 018 JOB 031 003 Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, and disaster to the workers of iniquity? 018 JOB 031 004 Doth not he see my ways, and number all my steps? 018 JOB 031 005 If I have walked with vanity, and my foot hath hasted to deceit; 018 JOB 031 006 (Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know mine integrity; ) 018 JOB 031 007 If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any spot hath cleaved to mine hands: 018 JOB 031 008 Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let the produce of my field be rooted out. 018 JOB 031 009 If mine heart have been enticed unto a woman, and I have laid wait at my neighbour’s door: 018 JOB 031 010 Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her. 018 JOB 031 011 For that were an heinous crime; yea, it were an iniquity to be punished by the judges: 018 JOB 031 012 For it is a fire that consumeth unto Destruction, and would root out all mine increase. 018 JOB 031 013 If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, 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 alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof; 018 JOB 031 018 (Nay, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, and I have been her guide from my mother’s womb; ) 018 JOB 031 019 If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or that the needy had no covering; 018 JOB 031 020 If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep; 018 JOB 031 021 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate: 018 JOB 031 022 Then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone. 018 JOB 031 023 For calamity from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his excellency I could do nothing. 018 JOB 031 024 If I have made gold my hope, and have said to the fine gold, [Thou art] my confidence; 018 JOB 031 025 If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much; 018 JOB 031 026 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness; 018 JOB 031 027 And my heart hath been secretly enticed, and my mouth hath kissed my hand: 018 JOB 031 028 This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judges: for I should have lied to God that is above. 018 JOB 031 029 If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him; 018 JOB 031 030 (Yea, I suffered not my mouth to sin by asking his life with a curse; ) 018 JOB 031 031 If the men of my tent said not, Who can find one that hath not been satisfied with his flesh? 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 like Adam I covered my transgressions, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom; 018 JOB 031 034 Because I feared the great multitude, and the contempt of families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and went not out of the door— 018 JOB 031 035 Oh that I had one to hear me! (lo, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me; ) and [that I had] the indictment which mine adversary hath written! 018 JOB 031 036 Surely I would carry it upon my shoulder; I would bind it unto me as a crown. 018 JOB 031 037 I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him. 018 JOB 031 038 If my land cry out against me, and the furrows thereof weep together; 018 JOB 031 039 If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life: 018 JOB 031 040 Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle 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 family 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 to speak unto Job, because they were elder than he. 018 JOB 032 005 And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, 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; wherefore I held back, and durst not shew you mine 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 breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding. 018 JOB 032 009 It is not the great that are wise, nor the aged that understand judgment. 018 JOB 032 010 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion. 018 JOB 032 011 Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say. 018 JOB 032 012 Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none that convinced Job, or that answered his words, among you. 018 JOB 032 013 Beware lest ye say, We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man: 018 JOB 032 014 For he hath not directed his words against me; neither will I answer him with your speeches. 018 JOB 032 015 They are amazed, they answer no more: they have not a word to say. 018 JOB 032 016 And shall I wait, because they speak not, because they stand still, and answer no more? 018 JOB 032 017 I also will answer my part, I also will shew mine opinion. 018 JOB 032 018 For I am full of words; the spirit within me constraineth me. 018 JOB 032 019 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; like new bottles it is ready to burst. 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, respect any man’s person; neither will I give flattering titles unto any man. 018 JOB 032 022 For I know not to give flattering titles; [else] would my Maker soon take me away. 018 JOB 033 001 Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, 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 utter] the uprightness of my heart: and that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely. 018 JOB 033 004 The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty giveth me life. 018 JOB 033 005 If thou canst, answer thou me; set [thy words] in order before me, stand forth. 018 JOB 033 006 Behold, I am toward God even as thou art: I also am formed out of the clay. 018 JOB 033 007 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my pressure be heavy upon thee. 018 JOB 033 008 Surely thou hast spoken in mine 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, I will answer thee, in this thou art not just; for 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, [though man] regardeth 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 with continual strife in his bones: 018 JOB 033 020 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat. 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 unto the pit, and his life to the destroyers. 018 JOB 033 023 If there be with him an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man what is right for him; 018 JOB 033 024 Then he is gracious unto 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 returneth to the days of his youth: 018 JOB 033 026 He prayeth unto God, and he is favourable unto him; so that he seeth his face with joy: and he restoreth unto man his righteousness. 018 JOB 033 027 He singeth before men, and saith, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not: 018 JOB 033 028 He hath redeemed my soul from going into the pit, and my life shall behold the light. 018 JOB 033 029 Lo, all these things doth God work, twice, [yea] thrice, with a man, 018 JOB 033 030 To bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living. 018 JOB 033 031 Mark well, O Job, hearken unto 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 thou unto me: hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom. 018 JOB 034 001 Moreover Elihu answered and said, 018 JOB 034 002 Hear my words, ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge. 018 JOB 034 003 For the ear trieth words, as the palate tasteth meat. 018 JOB 034 004 Let us choose for us that which 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 right: 018 JOB 034 006 Notwithstanding my right I am [accounted] a liar; my wound is incurable, [though I am] without transgression. 018 JOB 034 007 What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water? 018 JOB 034 008 Which 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 unto 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 shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways. 018 JOB 034 012 Yea, of a surety, God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment. 018 JOB 034 013 Who gave him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world? 018 JOB 034 014 If he set his heart upon man, [if] he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; 018 JOB 034 015 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto 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 one that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is just [and] mighty? 018 JOB 034 018 Is it [fit] to say to a king, [Thou art] vile? [or] to nobles, [Ye are] wicked? 018 JOB 034 019 [How much less to] him that respecteth 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 die, even at midnight; the people are shaken and pass away, and the mighty are taken away without hand. 018 JOB 034 021 For his eyes are upon the ways of a 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 needeth not further to consider a man, that he should go before God in judgment. 018 JOB 034 024 He breaketh in pieces mighty men [in ways] past finding out, and setteth others in their stead. 018 JOB 034 025 Therefore he taketh knowledge of 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 aside from following him, and would not have regard to any of his ways: 018 JOB 034 028 So that they caused the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heard the cry of the afflicted. 018 JOB 034 029 When he giveth quietness, who then can condemn? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether [it be done] unto a nation, or unto a man, alike: 018 JOB 034 030 That the godless man reign not, that there be none to ensnare the people. 018 JOB 034 031 For hath any said unto 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 it no more? 018 JOB 034 033 Shall his recompence be as thou wilt, that thou refusest it? for thou must choose, and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest. 018 JOB 034 034 Men of understanding will say unto me, yea, every wise man that heareth me: 018 JOB 034 035 Job speaketh without knowledge, and his words are without wisdom. 018 JOB 034 036 Would that Job were tried unto the end, because of his answering like wicked men. 018 JOB 034 037 For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God. 018 JOB 035 001 Moreover Elihu answered and said, 018 JOB 035 002 Thinkest thou this to be [thy] right, [or] sayest thou, My righteousness is more than God’s, 018 JOB 035 003 That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee? [and], What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned? 018 JOB 035 004 I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee. 018 JOB 035 005 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the skies, which are higher than thou. 018 JOB 035 006 If thou hast sinned, what doest thou against him? and if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him. 018 JOB 035 007 If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand? 018 JOB 035 008 Thy wickedness [may hurt] a man as thou art; and thy righteousness [may profit] a son of man. 018 JOB 035 009 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; they cry for help 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 How much less when thou sayest thou beholdest him not, the cause is before him, and thou waitest for him! 018 JOB 035 015 But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, neither doth he greatly regard arrogance; 018 JOB 035 016 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vanity; he multiplieth words without knowledge. 018 JOB 036 001 Elihu also proceeded, and said, 018 JOB 036 002 Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee: for I have yet somewhat to say on God’s behalf. 018 JOB 036 003 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker. 018 JOB 036 004 For truly my words are not false: one 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 of understanding. 018 JOB 036 006 He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth to the afflicted [their] right. 018 JOB 036 007 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings upon the throne he setteth them for ever, and they are exalted. 018 JOB 036 008 And if they be bound in fetters, and be taken in the cords of affliction; 018 JOB 036 009 Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly. 018 JOB 036 010 He openeth also their ear to instruction, and commandeth that they return from iniquity. 018 JOB 036 011 If they hearken and serve [him], they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. 018 JOB 036 012 But if they hearken not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. 018 JOB 036 013 But they that are godless in heart lay up anger: they cry not for help when he bindeth them. 018 JOB 036 014 They die in youth, and their life [perisheth] among the unclean. 018 JOB 036 015 He delivereth the afflicted by his affliction, and openeth their ear in oppression. 018 JOB 036 016 Yea, he would have led thee away out of distress into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which is set on thy table should be full of fatness. 018 JOB 036 017 But thou art full of the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold [on thee]. 018 JOB 036 018 Because there is wrath, beware lest thou be led away by [thy] sufficiency; neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside. 018 JOB 036 019 Will thy riches suffice, [that thou be] not in distress, or all the forces of [thy] strength? 018 JOB 036 020 Desire not the night, when peoples 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 doeth loftily in his power: who is a teacher like unto him? 018 JOB 036 023 Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought unrighteousness? 018 JOB 036 024 Remember that thou magnify his work, whereof men have sung. 018 JOB 036 025 All men have looked thereon; man beholdeth it afar off. 018 JOB 036 026 Behold, God is great, and we know him not; the number of his years is unsearchable. 018 JOB 036 027 For he draweth up the drops of water, which distil in rain from his vapour: 018 JOB 036 028 Which the skies pour down and drop upon man abundantly. 018 JOB 036 029 Yea, can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, the thunderings of his pavilion? 018 JOB 036 030 Behold, he spreadeth his light around him; and he covereth the bottom of the sea. 018 JOB 036 031 For by these he judgeth the peoples; he giveth meat in abundance. 018 JOB 036 032 He covereth his hands with the lightning; and giveth it a charge that it strike the mark. 018 JOB 036 033 The noise thereof telleth concerning him, the cattle also concerning [the storm] that cometh up. 018 JOB 037 001 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place. 018 JOB 037 002 Hearken ye unto the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth. 018 JOB 037 003 He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth. 018 JOB 037 004 After it a voice roareth; he thundereth with the voice of his majesty: and he stayeth them not when his voice is heard. 018 JOB 037 005 God thundereth marvelously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. 018 JOB 037 006 For he saith to the snow, Fall thou on the earth; likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of his mighty rain. 018 JOB 037 007 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men whom he hath made may know [it]. 018 JOB 037 008 Then the beasts go into coverts, and remain in their dens. 018 JOB 037 009 Out of the chamber [of the south] cometh the storm: and cold out of the north. 018 JOB 037 010 By the breath of God ice is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened. 018 JOB 037 011 Yea, he ladeth the thick cloud with moisture; he spreadeth abroad the cloud of his lightning: 018 JOB 037 012 And it is turned round about by his guidance, that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the habitable world. 018 JOB 037 013 Whether it be for correction, or for his land, or for mercy, that he cause it to come. 018 JOB 037 014 Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. 018 JOB 037 015 Dost thou know how God layeth [his charge] upon them, and causeth the lightning of his cloud to shine? 018 JOB 037 016 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge? 018 JOB 037 017 How thy garments are warm, when the earth is still by reason of the south [wind]? 018 JOB 037 018 Canst thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong as a molten mirror? 018 JOB 037 019 Teach us what we shall say unto him; [for] we cannot order [our speech] by reason of darkness. 018 JOB 037 020 Shall it be told him that I would speak? or should a man wish that he were swallowed up? 018 JOB 037 021 And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them. 018 JOB 037 022 Out of the north cometh golden splendour: God hath upon him terrible majesty. 018 JOB 037 023 [Touching] the Almighty, we can not find him out; he is excellent in power: and in judgment and plenteous justice he will not afflict. 018 JOB 037 024 Men do therefore fear him: he regardeth 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 declare thou unto 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 determined the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who stretched the line upon it? 018 JOB 038 006 Whereupon were the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; 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 brake forth, [as if] it had issued out of the womb; 018 JOB 038 009 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, 018 JOB 038 010 And prescribed for it my decree, and set bars and doors, 018 JOB 038 011 And said, Hitherto 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 [began, and] caused the dayspring to know its place; 018 JOB 038 013 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, and the wicked be shaken out of it? 018 JOB 038 014 It is changed as clay under the seal; and [all things] stand forth as a garment: 018 JOB 038 015 And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm is broken. 018 JOB 038 016 Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the recesses of the deep? 018 JOB 038 017 Have the gates of death been revealed unto thee? or hast thou seen the gates of the shadow of death? 018 JOB 038 018 Hast thou comprehended the breadth of the earth? declare, if thou knowest it all. 018 JOB 038 019 Where is the way to the dwelling of light, and as for darkness, where is the place thereof; 018 JOB 038 020 That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest discern the paths to the house thereof? 018 JOB 038 021 [Doubtless], thou knowest, for thou wast then born, and the number of thy days is great! 018 JOB 038 022 Hast thou entered 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, or the east wind scattered upon the earth? 018 JOB 038 025 Who hath cleft a channel for the waterflood, or a way for the lightning of the thunder; 018 JOB 038 026 To cause it to rain on a land where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man; 018 JOB 038 027 To satisfy the waste and desolate [ground]; and to cause the tender grass to spring forth? 018 JOB 038 028 Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of 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 hidden as [with] stone, and the face of the deep is frozen. 018 JOB 038 031 Canst thou bind the cluster of the Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? 018 JOB 038 032 Canst thou lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season? or canst thou guide the Bear with her train? 018 JOB 038 033 Knowest thou the ordinances of the heavens? canst thou establish the dominion thereof in the earth? 018 JOB 038 034 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee? 018 JOB 038 035 Canst thou send forth lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are? 018 JOB 038 036 Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the mind? 018 JOB 038 037 Who can number the clouds by wisdom? or who can pour out the bottles of heaven, 018 JOB 038 038 When the dust runneth into a mass, and the clods cleave fast together?

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 unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure: 019 PSA 002 006 Yet I have set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. 019 PSA 002 007 I will tell of the decree: the LORD said unto me, Thou art my son; this day have I begotten thee. 019 PSA 002 008 Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine 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 Now therefore be wise, 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 in the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. 019 PSA 003 001 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

(Selah) 019 PSA 010 001 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? 019 PSA 010 002 In the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued; let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. 019 PSA 010 003 For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and the covetous renounceth, [yea], contemneth the LORD. 019 PSA 010 004 The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, [saith], He will not require [it]. All his thoughts are, There is no God. 019 PSA 010 005 His ways are firm at all times; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them. 019 PSA 010 006 He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved: to all generations I shall not be in adversity. 019 PSA 010 007 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression: under his tongue is mischief and iniquity. 019 PSA 010 008 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the covert places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the helpless. 019 PSA 010 009 He lurketh in the covert as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him in his net. 019 PSA 010 010 He croucheth, he boweth down, and the helpless fall by his strong ones. 019 PSA 010 011 He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it. 019 PSA 010 012 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the poor. 019 PSA 010 013 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, and say in his heart, Thou wilt not require [it]? 019 PSA 010 014 Thon hast seen [it]; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to take it into thy hand: the helpless committeth [himself] unto thee; thou hast been the helper of the fatherless. 019 PSA 010 015 Break thou the arm of the wicked; and as for the evil man, seek out his wickedness till thou find none. 019 PSA 010 016 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the nations are perished out of his land. 019 PSA 010 017 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the meek: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: 019 PSA 010 018 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man which is of the earth may be terrible no more. 019 PSA 011 001 For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David. In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain? 019 PSA 011 002 For, lo, the wicked bend the bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart. 019 PSA 011 003 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? 019 PSA 011 004 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD, his throne is in heaven; his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men. 019 PSA 011 005 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. 019 PSA 011 006 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares; fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup. 019 PSA 011 007 For the LORD is righteous; he loveth righteousness: the upright shall behold his face. 019 PSA 012 001 For the Chief Musician; set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. 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 lip, and with a double heart, do they speak. 019 PSA 012 003 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh great 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 spoiling of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety at whom they puff. 019 PSA 012 006 The words of the LORD are pure words; as silver tried in a furnace on the 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 vileness is exalted among the sons of men. 019 PSA 013 001 For 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, that did seek after God. 019 PSA 014 003 They are all gone aside; they are 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 put to shame the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge. 019 PSA 014 007 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, then shall Jacob rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad. 019 PSA 015 001 A Psalm of David. LORD, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? 019 PSA 015 002 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh truth in his heart. 019 PSA 015 003 He that slandereth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his friend, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. 019 PSA 015 004 In whose eyes a reprobate 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 usury, 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 I have said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: I have no good beyond thee. 019 PSA 016 003 As for the saints that are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight. 019 PSA 016 004 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that exchange [the LORD] for another [god]: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take their names upon my lips. 019 PSA 016 005 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. 019 PSA 016 006 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. 019 PSA 016 007 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: yea, my reins instruct me in the night seasons. 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 dwell in safety. 019 PSA 016 010 For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol; neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585) 019 PSA 016 011 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; in thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. 019 PSA 017 001 A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry; give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips. 019 PSA 017 002 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes look upon equity. 019 PSA 017 003 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and findest nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress. 019 PSA 017 004 As for the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent. 019 PSA 017 005 My steps have held fast to thy paths, my feet have not slipped. 019 PSA 017 006 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, [and] hear my speech. 019 PSA 017 007 Shew thy marvelous lovingkindness, O thou that savest them which put their trust [in thee] from those that rise up [against them], by thy right hand. 019 PSA 017 008 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings, 019 PSA 017 009 From the wicked that spoil me, my deadly enemies, that compass me about. 019 PSA 017 010 They are enclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly. 019 PSA 017 011 They have now compassed us in our steps: they set their eyes to cast [us] down to the earth. 019 PSA 017 012 He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places. 019 PSA 017 013 Arise, O LORD, confront him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked by thy sword; 019 PSA 017 014 From men, by thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, whose portion is in [this] life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy treasure: they are satisfied with children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes. 019 PSA 017 015 As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. 019 PSA 018 001 For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David the servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: and he said, I love thee, O LORD, my strength. 019 PSA 018 002 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strong rock, in him will I trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower. 019 PSA 018 003 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. 019 PSA 018 004 The cords of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodliness made me afraid. 019 PSA 018 005 The cords of Sheol were round about me: the snares of death came on me. (Sheol h7585) 019 PSA 018 006 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry before him came into his ears. 019 PSA 018 007 Then the earth shook and trembled, me foundations also of the mountains moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. 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 thick darkness was under his feet. 019 PSA 018 010 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly, yea, he flew swiftly upon the wings of the wind. 019 PSA 018 011 He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion round about him; darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies. 019 PSA 018 012 At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire. 019 PSA 018 013 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice; hailstones and coals of fire. 019 PSA 018 014 And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; yea, lightnings manifold, and discomfited them. 019 PSA 018 015 Then the channels of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were laid bare, at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. 019 PSA 018 016 He sent from on high, he took me; he drew me out of many waters. 019 PSA 018 017 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me, for they were too mighty 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 into 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 put not away his statutes from me. 019 PSA 018 023 I was also perfect with him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity. 019 PSA 018 024 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight. 019 PSA 018 025 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with the perfect man thou wilt shew thyself perfect; 019 PSA 018 026 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou wilt shew thyself froward. 019 PSA 018 027 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes thou wilt bring down. 019 PSA 018 028 For thou wilt light my lamp: the LORD my God will lighten my darkness. 019 PSA 018 029 For by thee I run upon a troop; and by my God do I leap over a wall. 019 PSA 018 030 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried; he is a shield unto all them that trust in him. 019 PSA 018 031 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, beside our God? 019 PSA 018 032 The 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 mine arms do bend a bow of brass. 019 PSA 018 035 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great. 019 PSA 018 036 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped. 019 PSA 018 037 I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them: neither will I turn again till they are consumed. 019 PSA 018 038 I will smite them through that they shall not be able to rise: they shall fall under my feet. 019 PSA 018 039 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. 019 PSA 018 040 Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, that I might cut off them that hate me. 019 PSA 018 041 They cried, but there was none to save: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not. 019 PSA 018 042 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the mire of the streets. 019 PSA 018 043 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; thou hast made me the head of the nations: 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 unto me. 019 PSA 018 045 The strangers shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their close places. 019 PSA 018 046 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation: 019 PSA 018 047 Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and subdueth peoples under me. 019 PSA 018 048 He rescueth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me: thou deliverest me from the violent man. 019 PSA 018 049 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto thy name. 019 PSA 018 050 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth lovingkindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore. 019 PSA 019 001 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 019 PSA 019 002 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 019 PSA 019 003 There is no speech nor language; their voice cannot be heard. 019 PSA 019 004 Their line is 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 his course. 019 PSA 019 006 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. 019 PSA 019 007 The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 019 PSA 019 008 The precepts 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: in keeping of them there is great reward. 019 PSA 019 012 Who can discern [his] errors? clear thou me from hidden [faults]. 019 PSA 019 013 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins]; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be perfect, and I shall be clear from 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 rock, and my redeemer. 019 PSA 020 001 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The LORD answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high; 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 thy heart’s desire, and fulfill all thy counsel. 019 PSA 020 005 We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfill all thy petitions. 019 PSA 020 006 Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he wilt answer 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 make mention of the name of the LORD our God. 019 PSA 020 008 They are bowed down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright. 019 PSA 020 009 Save, LORD: let the King answer us when we call. 019 PSA 021 001 For 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 withholden the request of his lips. (Selah) 019 PSA 021 003 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of fine gold on his head. 019 PSA 021 004 He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him; even length of days for ever and ever. 019 PSA 021 005 His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty dost thou lay upon him. 019 PSA 021 006 For thou makest him most blessed for ever: thou makest him glad with joy in thy presence. 019 PSA 021 007 For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the lovingkindness of the Most High he shall not be moved. 019 PSA 021 008 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee. 019 PSA 021 009 Thou shalt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine 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 device, which they are not able to perform. 019 PSA 021 012 For thou shalt make them turn their back, thou shalt make ready with thy bowstrings against the face of them. 019 PSA 021 013 Be thou exalted, O LORD, in thy strength: so will we sing and praise thy power. 019 PSA 022 001 For the Chief Musician; set to Aijeleth hash-Shahar.

[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 day-time, but thou answerest 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 unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not ashamed. 019 PSA 022 006 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. 019 PSA 022 007 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, [saying], 019 PSA 022 008 Commit [thyself] unto the LORD; let him deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighteth in him. 019 PSA 022 009 But thou art he that took me out the womb: thou didst make me trust [when I was] upon my mother’s breasts. 019 PSA 022 010 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother’s belly. 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 compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. 019 PSA 022 013 They gape upon me with their mouth, [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 in the midst of my bowels. 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 compassed me: the assembly of evil-doers have enclosed me; they pierced my hands and my feet. 019 PSA 022 017 I may tell all my bones; they look and stare upon me: 019 PSA 022 018 They part my garments among them, and upon my vesture do they cast lots. 019 PSA 022 019 But be not thou far off, O LORD: O thou my succour, 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; yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen thou hast answered me. 019 PSA 022 022 I will declare thy name unto 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 stand in awe of 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 unto him, he heard. 019 PSA 022 025 Of thee cometh my praise 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 after him: let your heart live for ever. 019 PSA 022 027 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto 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 ruler over the nations. 019 PSA 022 029 All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him, even he that cannot keep his soul alive. 019 PSA 022 030 A seed shall serve him; it shall be told of the Lord unto the [next] generation. 019 PSA 022 031 They shall come and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done it. 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 guideth 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 mine enemies: thou hast anointed 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 the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 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 into 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 unto vanity, and hath not sworn deceitfully. 019 PSA 024 005 He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. 019 PSA 024 006 This is the generation of them that seek after him, that seek thy face, [O God of] Jacob.

The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah) 019 PSA 025 001 [A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. 019 PSA 025 002 O my God, in thee have I trusted, let me not be ashamed; let not mine enemies triumph over me. 019 PSA 025 003 Yea, none that wait on thee shall be ashamed: they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause. 019 PSA 025 004 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. 019 PSA 025 005 Guide 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 lovingkindness remember thou me, for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD. 019 PSA 025 008 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he instruct 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 lovingkindness and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. 019 PSA 025 011 For thy name’s sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity, for it is great. 019 PSA 025 012 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose. 019 PSA 025 013 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the land. 019 PSA 025 014 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. 019 PSA 025 015 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. 019 PSA 025 016 Turn thee unto 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 Consider mine affliction and my travail; and forgive all my sins. 019 PSA 025 019 Consider mine 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.

Unto thee, O LORD, will I call; my rock, be not thou deaf unto me: lest, if thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down into the pit. 019 PSA 028 002 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle. 019 PSA 028 003 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity; which speak peace with their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts. 019 PSA 028 004 Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings: give them after the operation 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 break them down 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 hath trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will praise him. 019 PSA 028 008 The LORD is their strength, and he is a strong hold of salvation to his anointed. 019 PSA 028 009 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and bear them up for ever. 019 PSA 029 001 A Psalm of David.

I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast raised me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me. 019 PSA 030 002 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. 019 PSA 030 003 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585) 019 PSA 030 004 Sing praise unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks to his holy name. 019 PSA 030 005 For his anger is but for a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may tarry for the night, but joy [cometh] in the morning. 019 PSA 030 006 As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved. 019 PSA 030 007 Thou, LORD, of thy favour hadst made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled. 019 PSA 030 008 I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto 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 loosed 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 unto thee for ever. 019 PSA 031 001 For 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 thine ear unto me; deliver me speedily: be thou to me a strong rock, 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 Pluck me out of the net that they have laid privily for me; for thou art my strong hold. 019 PSA 031 005 Into thine hand I commend my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD, thou God of truth. 019 PSA 031 006 I hate 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 seen my affliction; thou hast known my soul in adversities: 019 PSA 031 008 And thou 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 distress: mine eye wasteth away with grief, [yea], my soul and my body. 019 PSA 031 010 For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are wasted away. 019 PSA 031 011 Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach, yea, unto my neighbours exceedingly, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see 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 defaming of many, terror 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 mine enemies, and from them that persecute me. 019 PSA 031 016 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me in thy lovingkindness. 019 PSA 031 017 Let me not he ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, let them be silent in Sheol. (Sheol h7585) 019 PSA 031 018 Let the lying lips be dumb; which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt. 019 PSA 031 019 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, which thou hast wrought for them that put their trust in thee, before the sons of men! 019 PSA 031 020 In the covert of thy presence shalt thou hide them from the plottings 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 shewed me his marvelous lovingkindness in a strong city. 019 PSA 031 022 As for me, I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee. 019 PSA 031 023 O love the LORD, all ye his saints: the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer. 019 PSA 031 024 Be strong, and let your heart take courage, 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 unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. 019 PSA 032 003 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long. 019 PSA 032 004 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture was changed [as] with the drought of summer. (Selah) 019 PSA 032 005 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid: I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. (Selah) 019 PSA 032 006 For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him. 019 PSA 032 007 Thou art my hiding place; thou wilt preserve me from trouble; thou wilt compass me about 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 counsel thee with mine eye upon thee. 019 PSA 032 009 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, [else] they will not come near unto thee. 019 PSA 032 010 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about. 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: praise is comely for the upright. 019 PSA 033 002 Give thanks unto the LORD with harp: sing praises unto him with the psaltery of ten strings. 019 PSA 033 003 Sing unto 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 work is [done] in faithfulness. 019 PSA 033 005 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the lovingkindness 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 deeps in storehouses. 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 spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. 019 PSA 033 010 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought: he maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of none effect. 019 PSA 033 011 The counsel of the LORD standeth fast for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. 019 PSA 033 012 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; 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 forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth; 019 PSA 033 015 He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, that 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 great strength. 019 PSA 033 017 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great power. 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 hath waited 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 have hoped 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 meek shall hear thereof, 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 answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. 019 PSA 034 005 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces shall never be confounded. 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 round about 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 want 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 want any good thing. 019 PSA 034 011 Come, ye children, hearken unto 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 toward the righteous, and his ears are [open] unto 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] cried, and the LORD heard, and delivered them out of all their troubles. 019 PSA 034 018 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such as be 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 condemned. 019 PSA 034 022 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be condemned. 019 PSA 035 001 [A Psalm] of David. Strive thou, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight thou against them that fight against me. 019 PSA 035 002 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. 019 PSA 035 003 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that pursue me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation. 019 PSA 035 004 Let them be ashamed and brought to dishonour that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and confounded that devise my hurt. 019 PSA 035 005 Let them be as chaff before the wind, and the angel of the LORD driving [them] on. 019 PSA 035 006 Let their way be dark and slippery, and the angel of the LORD pursuing them. 019 PSA 035 007 For without cause have they hid for me their net [in] a pit, without cause have they digged [a pit] for my soul. 019 PSA 035 008 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: with destruction let him fall therein. 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 unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him? 019 PSA 035 011 Unrighteous witnesses rise up; they ask me of things that I know not. 019 PSA 035 012 They reward me evil for good, [to] the bereaving of my soul. 019 PSA 035 013 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I afflicted my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom. 019 PSA 035 014 I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother: I bowed down mourning, as one that bewaileth his mother. 019 PSA 035 015 But when I halted they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew [it] not; they did tear me, and ceased not: 019 PSA 035 016 Like the profane 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 much people. 019 PSA 035 019 Let not them that are mine 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 words against them that are quiet in the land. 019 PSA 035 021 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me; they said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it. 019 PSA 035 022 Thou hast seen it, 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] unto 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 heart, Aha, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up. 019 PSA 035 026 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that rejoice at mine 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, The LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. 019 PSA 035 028 And my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness, [and] of thy praise all the day long. 019 PSA 036 001 For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David the servant of the LORD. The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes. 019 PSA 036 002 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, that his iniquity shall not be found out and be hated. 019 PSA 036 003 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise [and] to do good. 019 PSA 036 004 He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil. 019 PSA 036 005 Thy lovingkindness, O LORD, is in the heavens; thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the skies. 019 PSA 036 006 Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. 019 PSA 036 007 How precious is thy lovingkindness, O God! and the children of men take refuge 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 unto 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 drive me away. 019 PSA 036 012 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise. 019 PSA 037 001 [A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness. 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; dwell in the land, and follow after faithfulness. 019 PSA 037 004 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 019 PSA 037 005 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass. 019 PSA 037 006 Add he shall make thy righteousness to go forth 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, [it tendeth] only to evil-doing. 019 PSA 037 009 For evil-doers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the land. 019 PSA 037 010 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not be. 019 PSA 037 011 But the meek shall inherit the land; 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, to slay such as be upright in the way: 019 PSA 037 015 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. 019 PSA 037 016 Better is a little that the righteous hath than the abundance 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 perfect: and their inheritance shall be for ever. 019 PSA 037 019 They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil: 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 excellency of the pastures: they shall consume; in smoke shall they consume away. 019 PSA 037 021 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth. 019 PSA 037 022 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the land; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off. 019 PSA 037 023 A man’s goings are established of the LORD; and he delighteth in his way. 019 PSA 037 024 Though he 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 have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging [their] bread. 019 PSA 037 026 All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. 019 PSA 037 027 Depart from evil, and do good; 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 therein for ever. 019 PSA 037 030 The mouth of the righteous talketh of wisdom, and his tongue speaketh 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 tree in its native soil. 019 PSA 037 036 But one passed by, 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 latter end of [that] man is peace. 019 PSA 037 038 As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together: the latter 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 strong hold in the time of trouble. 019 PSA 037 040 And the LORD helpeth them, and rescueth them: he rescueth them from the wicked, and saveth them, because they have taken refuge 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 thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore. 019 PSA 038 003 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation; neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin. 019 PSA 038 004 For mine iniquities are gone over mine 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 pained and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. 019 PSA 038 007 For my loins are filled with burning; and there is no soundness in my flesh. 019 PSA 038 008 I am faint and sore bruised: 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 throbbeth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. 019 PSA 038 011 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; 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, hear not; and I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. 019 PSA 038 014 Yea, I am 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 answer, O Lord my God. 019 PSA 038 016 For I said, Lest they 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 mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. 019 PSA 038 019 But mine enemies are lively, [and] are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. 019 PSA 038 020 They also that render evil for good are adversaries unto me, 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 For the Chief Musician, for 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 kindled: [then] spake I with my tongue: 019 PSA 039 004 LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; let me know how frail I am. 019 PSA 039 005 Behold, thou hast made my days [as] handbreadths; and mine age is as nothing before thee: surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. (Selah) 019 PSA 039 006 Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: 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 thine 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 unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, a sojourner, as all my fathers were. 019 PSA 039 013 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more. 019 PSA 040 001 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto 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 he 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 unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. 019 PSA 040 004 Blessed is the 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 the wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be set in order unto thee; if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. 019 PSA 040 006 Sacrifice and offering thou hast no delight in; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. 019 PSA 040 007 Then said I, Lo, I am come; in the roll 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 published righteousness in the great congregation; lo, I will not refrain 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 compassed me about, mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head, and my heart hath failed me. 019 PSA 040 013 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: make haste to help me, O LORD. 019 PSA 040 014 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it: let them be turned backward and brought to dishonour that delight in my hurt. 019 PSA 040 015 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that say unto 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 tarrying, O my God. 019 PSA 041 001 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in the day of evil. 019 PSA 041 002 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive, and he shall be blessed upon the earth; and deliver not thou him unto the will of his enemies. 019 PSA 041 003 The LORD will support him upon the couch of languishing: thou makest all his bed in his sickness. 019 PSA 041 004 I said, O LORD, have mercy upon me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. 019 PSA 041 005 Mine enemies speak evil against me, [saying], When shall he die, and his name perish? 019 PSA 041 006 And if he come 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 unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more. 019 PSA 041 009 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. 019 PSA 041 010 But thou, O LORD, have mercy upon me, and raise me up, that I may requite them. 019 PSA 041 011 By this I know that thou delightest in me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. 019 PSA 041 012 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever. 019 PSA 041 013 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen. 019 PSA 042 001 For the Chief Musician; Maschil of the sons of Korah. As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul 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 meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? 019 PSA 042 004 These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I went with the throng, and led them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday. 019 PSA 042 005 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 [for] the health of his countenance. 019 PSA 042 006 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore do I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and the Hermons, from the hill Mizar. 019 PSA 042 007 Deep calleth unto 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, [even] a prayer unto the God of my life. 019 PSA 042 009 I will say unto 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, mine adversaries reproach me; while they continually say unto 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 hast 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 unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. 019 PSA 043 004 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: and 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 thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God. 019 PSA 044 001 For the Chief Musician; [a Psalm] of 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 days of old. 019 PSA 044 002 Thou didst drive out the nations with thy hand, and plantedst them in; thou didst afflict the peoples, and didst spread them abroad. 019 PSA 044 003 For they gat not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them. 019 PSA 044 004 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverance for Jacob. 019 PSA 044 005 Through thee will we push down our adversaries: through thy name will we 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 adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us. 019 PSA 044 008 In God have we made our boast all the day long, and we will give thanks unto thy name for ever. (Selah) 019 PSA 044 009 But now thou hast cast [us] off, and brought us to dishonour; and goest not forth with our hosts. 019 PSA 044 010 Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary: and they which hate us spoil for themselves. 019 PSA 044 011 Thou hast given us like sheep [appointed] for meat; and hast scattered us among the nations. 019 PSA 044 012 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and hast not increased [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 round about us. 019 PSA 044 014 Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples. 019 PSA 044 015 All the day long is my dishonour 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 the avenger. 019 PSA 044 017 All this is come upon us; yet have we 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 That thou hast sore broken us in the place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death. 019 PSA 044 020 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange god; 019 PSA 044 021 Shall not God search this out? 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 Wherefore 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 unto the earth. 019 PSA 044 026 Rise up for our help, and redeem us for thy lovingkindness’ sake. 019 PSA 045 001 For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim; [a Psalm] of the sons of Korah.

(Selah) 019 PSA 048 009 We have thought on thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple. 019 PSA 048 010 As is thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness. 019 PSA 048 011 Let mount Zion be glad, let the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of thy judgments. 019 PSA 048 012 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof. 019 PSA 048 013 Mark ye welt 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] unto death. 019 PSA 049 001 For the Chief Musician; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Hear this, all ye peoples; 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 wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding. 019 PSA 049 004 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp. 019 PSA 049 005 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when iniquity at my heels compasseth me about? 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 costly, and must be let alone for ever: ) 019 PSA 049 009 That he should still live alway, that he should not see corruption. 019 PSA 049 010 For he seeth that wise men die, the fool and the brutish together 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 But man abideth not in honour: he is like the beasts that perish. 019 PSA 049 013 This their way is their folly: yet after them men approve their sayings. (Selah) 019 PSA 049 014 They are appointed as a flock for Sheol; death shall be their shepherd: and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, that there be no habitation for it. (Sheol h7585) 019 PSA 049 015 But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol: 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 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 the 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. God, [even] God, the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. 019 PSA 050 002 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth. 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 round about him. 019 PSA 050 004 He shall call to the heavens above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people: 019 PSA 050 005 Gather my saints together unto 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 unto thee: I am God, [even] thy God. 019 PSA 050 008 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; and thy burnt offerings are continually before me. 019 PSA 050 009 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he-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 the fulness thereof. 019 PSA 050 013 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? 019 PSA 050 014 Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto 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 unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes; and that thou hast taken 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, thou consentedst 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 thine 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 Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifieth me; and to him that ordereth his conversation [aright] will I shew the salvation of God. 019 PSA 051 001 For the Chief Musician. A psalm of David: when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. 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 throughly from mine 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 that which is 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 mine 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 unto me the joy of thy salvation: and uphold me with a free spirit. 019 PSA 051 013 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. 019 PSA 051 014 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, 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 shew forth thy praise. 019 PSA 051 016 For thou delightest not in sacrifice; else would I give it: thou hast no pleasure 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 unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. 019 PSA 051 019 Then shalt thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar. 019 PSA 052 001 For the Chief Musician. Maschil of David: when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the mercy of God [endureth] continually. 019 PSA 052 002 Thy tongue deviseth very wickedness; 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 up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, and root thee out of the land of the living. (Selah) 019 PSA 052 006 The righteous also shall see [it], and fear, and shall laugh at him, [saying], 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 as for me, 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 give thee thanks for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name, for it is good, in the presence of thy saints. 019 PSA 053 001 For the Chief Musician; set to Mahalath. Maschil of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, 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 after God. 019 PSA 053 003 Every one of them is gone back; they are together 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, and call not upon God. 019 PSA 053 005 There were they 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 rejected them. 019 PSA 053 006 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, then shall Jacob rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad. 019 PSA 054 001 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David: when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy might. 019 PSA 054 002 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. 019 PSA 054 003 For strangers are risen up against me, and violent men have sought after my soul: they have not set God before them. (Selah) 019 PSA 054 004 Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is of them that uphold my soul. 019 PSA 054 005 He shall requite the evil unto mine enemies: destroy thou them in thy truth. 019 PSA 054 006 With a freewill offering will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O LORD, for it is good. 019 PSA 054 007 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [my desire] upon mine enemies. 019 PSA 055 001 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication. 019 PSA 055 002 Attend unto me, and answer me: I am restless in my complaint, and moan; 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 anger they persecute me. 019 PSA 055 004 My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me. 019 PSA 055 005 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me. 019 PSA 055 006 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! then would I fly away, and be at rest. 019 PSA 055 007 Lo, then would I wander far off, I would lodge in the wilderness. (Selah) 019 PSA 055 008 I would haste me to a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest. 019 PSA 055 009 Destroy, O Lord, [and] divide their tongue: for I have seen violence and strife in the city. 019 PSA 055 010 Day and night they go about upon the walls thereof: iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it. 019 PSA 055 011 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: oppression 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 did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him: 019 PSA 055 013 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my companion, and my familiar friend. 019 PSA 055 014 We took sweet counsel together, we walked in the house of God with the throng. 019 PSA 055 015 Let death come suddenly upon them, let them go down alive into the pit: for wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of 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 noonday, will I complain, and moan: and he shall hear my voice. 019 PSA 055 018 He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for they were many [that strove] with me. 019 PSA 055 019 God shall hear, and answer them, even he that abideth of old, (Selah) [the men] who have no changes, and who fear not God. 019 PSA 055 020 He hath put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him: he hath profaned his covenant. 019 PSA 055 021 His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war: 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 suffer the righteous to be moved. 019 PSA 055 023 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee. 019 PSA 056 001 For the Chief Musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. [A Psalm] of David: Michtam: when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: all the day long he fighting oppresseth me. 019 PSA 056 002 Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long: for they be many that fight proudly against me. 019 PSA 056 003 What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee. 019 PSA 056 004 In God I will praise his word: in God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; what can flesh do unto me? 019 PSA 056 005 All the day long they wrest 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, even as they have waited for my soul. 019 PSA 056 007 Shall they escape by iniquity? in anger cast down the peoples, O God. 019 PSA 056 008 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle; are they not in thy book? 019 PSA 056 009 Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call: this I know, that 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 can man do unto me? 019 PSA 056 012 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thank offerings unto thee. 019 PSA 056 013 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [hast thou] not [delivered] my feet from falling? that I may walk before God in the light of the living. 019 PSA 057 001 For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David: Michtam: when he fled from Saul, in the cave. Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me; for my soul taketh refuge in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I take refuge, until [these] calamities be overpast. 019 PSA 057 002 I will cry unto God Most High; unto God that performeth [all things] for me. 019 PSA 057 003 He shall send from heaven, and save me, [when] he that would swallow me up reproacheth; (Selah) God shall send forth his mercy and his truth. 019 PSA 057 004 My soul is among lions; I lie 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; thy soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me; they are fallen into the midst thereof themselves. (Selah) 019 PSA 057 007 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing, yea, I will sing praises. 019 PSA 057 008 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early. 019 PSA 057 009 I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the peoples: I will sing praises unto thee among the nations. 019 PSA 057 010 For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the skies. 019 PSA 057 011 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [let] thy glory [be] above all the earth. 019 PSA 058 001 For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David: Michtam. Do ye indeed in silence speak righteousness? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men? 019 PSA 058 002 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out 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 be 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 hearkeneth not 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 water that runneth apace: when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off. 019 PSA 058 008 [Let them be] as a snail which melteth and passeth away: [like] the untimely birth of a woman, that hath not seen the sun. 019 PSA 058 009 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike. 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 men shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth. 019 PSA 059 001 For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth.

(Selah) 019 PSA 059 006 They return at evening, they make a noise like a dog, and go round 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 O my strength, I will wait upon thee: for God is my high tower. 019 PSA 059 010 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see [my desire] upon mine 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 be no more: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, unto the ends of the earth. (Selah) 019 PSA 059 014 And at evening let them return, let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. 019 PSA 059 015 They shall wander up and down for meat and tarry all night if they be not satisfied. 019 PSA 059 016 But I will sing of thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my high tower, and a refuge in the day of my distress. 019 PSA 059 017 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing praises: for God is my high tower, the God of my mercy. 019 PSA 060 001 For the Chief Musician; set to Shushan Eduth: Michtam of David, to teach: when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand.

(Selah) 019 PSA 060 005 That thy beloved may be delivered, save with thy right hand, and answer us. 019 PSA 060 006 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will exult: I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. 019 PSA 060 007 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of mine head; Judah is my sceptre. 019 PSA 060 008 Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe: Philistia, shout thou because of me. 019 PSA 060 009 Who will bring me into the strong city? who hath led me unto Edom? 019 PSA 060 010 Hast not thou, O God, cast us off? and thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts. 019 PSA 060 011 Give us help against the adversary: for vain is the help of man. 019 PSA 060 012 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our adversaries. 019 PSA 061 001 For the Chief Musician; on a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. 019 PSA 061 002 From the end of the earth will I call unto 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 refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy. 019 PSA 061 004 I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever: I will take refuge in the covert 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: his years shall be as many generations. 019 PSA 061 007 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him. 019 PSA 061 008 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows. 019 PSA 062 001 For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun.

(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 high tower; I shall not be moved. 019 PSA 062 007 With 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: in the balances they will go up; they are together lighter than vanity. 019 PSA 062 010 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart [thereon]. 019 PSA 062 011 God hath spoken once, twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God: 019 PSA 062 012 Also unto 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 weary land, where no water is. 019 PSA 063 002 So have I looked upon thee in the sanctuary, to see thy power and thy glory. 019 PSA 063 003 For thy lovingkindness is better than life; my lips shall praise thee. 019 PSA 063 004 So 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 For thou hast been my help, and 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 be given over to the power of 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; for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. 019 PSA 064 001 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. 019 PSA 064 002 Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers; from the tumult of the workers of iniquity: 019 PSA 064 003 Who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrows, even bitter words: 019 PSA 064 004 That they may shoot in secret places at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. 019 PSA 064 005 They encourage themselves in an evil purpose; they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? 019 PSA 064 006 They search out iniquities; We have accomplished, [say they], a diligent search: and the inward thought of every one, 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 be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them: all that see them shall wag the head. 019 PSA 064 009 And all men shall fear; and they shall declare the work of God, and 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 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm. A Song of David. Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed. 019 PSA 065 002 O thou that hearest prayer, unto 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 [unto thee], that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, the holy place of thy temple. 019 PSA 065 005 By terrible things thou wilt answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation; thou that art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea: 019 PSA 065 006 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded about with might: 019 PSA 065 007 Which stilleth the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples. 019 PSA 065 008 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: 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; the river of God is full of water: thou providest them corn, when thou hast so prepared the earth. 019 PSA 065 010 Thou waterest her furrows abundantly; thou settlest the ridges thereof: thou makest it soft with showers; thou blessest the springing thereof. 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 hills are girded with joy. 019 PSA 065 013 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing. 019 PSA 066 001 For the Chief Musician. A Song, a Psalm. Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth: 019 PSA 066 002 Sing forth the glory of his name: make his praise glorious. 019 PSA 066 003 Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. 019 PSA 066 004 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto 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 river on foot: there did we rejoice in him. 019 PSA 066 007 He ruleth by his might for ever; his eyes observe the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. (Selah) 019 PSA 066 008 O bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard. 019 PSA 066 009 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth 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 broughtest us into the net; thou layedst a sore burden 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 come 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 distress. 019 PSA 066 015 I will offer unto thee burnt offerings of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks 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 unto 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: 019 PSA 066 019 But verily God hath heard; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. 019 PSA 066 020 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me. 019 PSA 067 001 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm, a Song. God be merciful unto 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 peoples praise thee, O God; let all the peoples praise thee. 019 PSA 067 004 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the peoples with equity, and govern the nations upon earth.

A Psalm of David, a Song. 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 exult before God: yea, let them rejoice with gladness. 019 PSA 068 004 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: cast up a highway for him that rideth through the deserts; his name is JAH; and exult ye 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 the prisoners into prosperity: but the rebellious dwell in a parched 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 trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: [even] yon Sinai [trembled] at the presence of God, the God of Israel. 019 PSA 068 009 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary. 019 PSA 068 010 Thy congregation dwelt therein: thou, O God, didst prepare of thy goodness for the poor. 019 PSA 068 011 The Lord giveth the word: the women that publish the tidings are a great host. 019 PSA 068 012 Kings of armies flee, they flee: and she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil. 019 PSA 068 013 Will ye lie among the sheepfolds, [as] the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her pinions with yellow gold? 019 PSA 068 014 When the Almighty scattered kings therein, [it was as when] it snoweth in Zalmon. 019 PSA 068 015 A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; an high mountain is the mountain of Bashan. 019 PSA 068 016 Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, at the mountain which God hath desired for his abode? yea, the LORD will dwell [in it] for ever. 019 PSA 068 017 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands: the Lord is among them, [as in] Sinai, in the sanctuary. 019 PSA 068 018 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led [thy] captivity captive; thou hast received gifts among men, yea, [among] the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell [with them]. 019 PSA 068 019 Blessed be the Lord, who daily beareth our burden, even the God who is our salvation. (Selah) 019 PSA 068 020 God is unto us a God of deliverances; and unto JEHOVAH the Lord belong the issues from death. 019 PSA 068 021 But God shall smite through the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his guiltiness. 019 PSA 068 022 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring [them] again from the depths of the sea: 019 PSA 068 023 That thou mayest dip thy foot in blood, that the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from [thine] enemies. 019 PSA 068 024 They have seen thy goings, O God, even the goings of my God, my King, into the sanctuary. 019 PSA 068 025 The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, in the midst of the damsels playing with timbrels. 019 PSA 068 026 Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, [ye that are] of the fountain of Israel. 019 PSA 068 027 There is little Benjamin their ruler, the princes of Judah [and] their council, the princes of Zebulun, 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 kings shall bring presents unto thee. 019 PSA 068 030 Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, trampling under foot the pieces of silver; he hath scattered the peoples that delight in war. 019 PSA 068 031 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall haste to stretch out her hands unto God. 019 PSA 068 032 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; (Selah) 019 PSA 068 033 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which are of old; lo, he uttereth his voice, [and that] a mighty voice. 019 PSA 068 034 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the skies. 019 PSA 068 035 O God, [thou art] terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel, he giveth strength and power unto [his] people. Blessed be God. 019 PSA 069 001 For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim. [A Psalm] of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto 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 with my crying; my throat is dried: mine 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 mine head: they that would cut me off, being mine 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 be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of hosts: let not those that seek thee be brought to dishonour through me, 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 unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children. 019 PSA 069 009 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproach thee are 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 When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a proverb unto them. 019 PSA 069 012 They that sit in the gate talk of me; and [I am] the song of the drunkards. 019 PSA 069 013 But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy, answer 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 waterflood overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. 019 PSA 069 016 Answer me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: according to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou unto me. 019 PSA 069 017 And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in distress; answer me speedily. 019 PSA 069 018 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: ransom me because of mine enemies. 019 PSA 069 019 Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine 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 meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. 019 PSA 069 022 Let their table before them become a snare; and when they are in peace, [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 thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of thine anger overtake them. 019 PSA 069 025 Let their habitation be desolate; let none dwell in their tents. 019 PSA 069 026 For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they tell of the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded, 019 PSA 069 027 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness. 019 PSA 069 028 Let them be blotted out of the book of life, 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 And it shall please the LORD better than an ox, [or] a bullock that hath horns and hoofs. 019 PSA 069 032 The meek have seen it, and are glad: ye that seek after God, let your heart live. 019 PSA 069 033 For the LORD heareth the needy, and despiseth not his prisoners. 019 PSA 069 034 Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein. 019 PSA 069 035 For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah; and they shall abide 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 therein. 019 PSA 070 001 For 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 brought to dishonour that delight in my hurt. 019 PSA 070 003 Let them be turned back by reason 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 unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying. 019 PSA 071 001 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be ashamed. 019 PSA 071 002 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me: bow down thine ear unto me, and save me. 019 PSA 071 003 Be thou to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress. 019 PSA 071 004 Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of 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 holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother’s bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee. 019 PSA 071 007 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge. 019 PSA 071 008 My mouth shall 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 mine enemies speak concerning me; and they that watch for my soul take counsel together, 019 PSA 071 011 Saying, God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver. 019 PSA 071 012 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste to help me. 019 PSA 071 013 Let them be ashamed [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 praise thee yet more and more. 019 PSA 071 015 My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness, [and] of thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers [thereof]. 019 PSA 071 016 I will come with the mighty acts 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 hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. 019 PSA 071 018 Yea, even when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have declared thy strength unto [the next] generation, thy might to every one that is to come. 019 PSA 071 019 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high; thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like unto thee? 019 PSA 071 020 Thou, which hast shewed us many and sore troubles, shalt quicken us again, and shalt bring us up again from the depths of the earth. 019 PSA 071 021 Increase thou my greatness, and turn again and comfort me. 019 PSA 071 022 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, [even] thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing praises with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel. 019 PSA 071 023 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing praises unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. 019 PSA 071 024 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are ashamed, for they are confounded, that seek my hurt. 019 PSA 072 001 [A Psalm] of Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto 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 hills, in 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 while the sun endureth, and so long as the moon, 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, till the moon be no more. 019 PSA 072 008 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the River unto 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; and the poor, that hath no helper. 019 PSA 072 013 He shall have pity on the poor and needy, and the souls of the needy he shall save. 019 PSA 072 014 He shall redeem their soul from oppression and violence; and precious shall their blood be in his sight: 019 PSA 072 015 And they shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: and men shall pray for him continually; they shall bless him all the day long. 019 PSA 072 016 There shall be abundance of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof 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 happy. 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. Surely God is good to Israel, [even] to such as are pure in heart. 019 PSA 073 002 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. 019 PSA 073 003 For I was envious at the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 019 PSA 073 004 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm. 019 PSA 073 005 They are not in trouble as [other] men; neither are they plagued like [other] men. 019 PSA 073 006 Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck; 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 scoff, and in wickedness utter oppression: they speak loftily. 019 PSA 073 009 They have set their mouth in the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. 019 PSA 073 010 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full [cup] are wrung out by 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 wicked; and, being alway at ease, they increase in riches. 019 PSA 073 013 Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart, and washed my hands in innocency; 019 PSA 073 014 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning. 019 PSA 073 015 If I had said, I will speak thus; behold, I had dealt treacherously with the generation of thy children. 019 PSA 073 016 When I thought how I might know this, it was too painful for me; 019 PSA 073 017 Until I went into the sanctuary of God, and considered their latter end. 019 PSA 073 018 Surely thou settest them in slippery places: thou castest them down to destruction. 019 PSA 073 019 How are they become a desolation 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 For my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins: 019 PSA 073 022 So brutish was I, and ignorant; I was [as] a beast before thee. 019 PSA 073 023 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden 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 beside 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 a whoring from thee. 019 PSA 073 028 But it is good for me to draw near unto God: I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all thy works. 019 PSA 074 001 Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast [us] off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? 019 PSA 074 002 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old, which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance; [and] mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt. 019 PSA 074 003 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary. 019 PSA 074 004 Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly; they have set up their ensigns for signs. 019 PSA 074 005 They seemed as men that lifted up axes upon a thicket of trees. 019 PSA 074 006 And now all the carved work thereof together they break down with hatchet and hammers. 019 PSA 074 007 They have set thy sanctuary on fire; they have profaned the dwelling place of thy name even to the ground. 019 PSA 074 008 They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether: 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 How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever? 019 PSA 074 011 Why drawest thou back thy hand, even thy right hand? [pluck it] out of thy bosom [and] consume [them]. 019 PSA 074 012 Yet 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 brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters. 019 PSA 074 014 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, thou gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness. 019 PSA 074 015 Thou didst cleave fountain and flood: thou driedst 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, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that foolish people have blasphemed thy name. 019 PSA 074 019 O deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast: forget not the life of thy poor for ever. 019 PSA 074 020 Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence. 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 thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee all the day. 019 PSA 074 023 Forget not the voice of thine adversaries: the tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually. 019 PSA 075 001 For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. We give thanks unto thee, O God; we give thanks, for thy name is near: men tell of thy wondrous works. 019 PSA 075 002 When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly. 019 PSA 075 003 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have set up the pillars of it. (Selah) 019 PSA 075 004 I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly: 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 neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, [cometh] lifting up. 019 PSA 075 007 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and lifteth up another. 019 PSA 075 008 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine foameth; it is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same: surely the dregs thereof, 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 lifted up. 019 PSA 076 001 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. 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 brake the arrows of the bow; the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah) 019 PSA 076 004 Glorious art thou [and] excellent, from the mountains of prey. 019 PSA 076 005 The stouthearted 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 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 sentence 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 residue of wrath shalt thou gird upon thee. 019 PSA 076 011 Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto 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 For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I will cry unto God with my voice; even unto God with my voice, and he wilt give ear unto me. 019 PSA 077 002 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; my soul refused to be comforted. 019 PSA 077 003 I remember God, and am disquieted: I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. (Selah) 019 PSA 077 004 Thou holdest mine eyes watching: 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 mine 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 clean 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 make mention of the deeds of the LORD; for I will remember thy wonders of old. 019 PSA 077 012 I will meditate also upon all thy work, and muse on thy doings. 019 PSA 077 013 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is a great god like unto God? 019 PSA 077 014 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast made known thy strength among the peoples. 019 PSA 077 015 Thou hast with thine 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 trembled. 019 PSA 077 017 The clouds poured out water; the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad. 019 PSA 077 018 The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind; the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook. 019 PSA 077 019 Thy way was in the sea, and thy paths in the great waters, and thy footsteps were 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 ears 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, telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wondrous 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 which should be born; who should arise and tell [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 stedfast 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 they forgat his doings, and his wondrous works that he had shewed them. 019 PSA 078 012 Marvelous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. 019 PSA 078 013 He clave 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 clave rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the 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 Yet went they on still to sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert. 019 PSA 078 018 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust. 019 PSA 078 019 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness? 019 PSA 078 020 Behold, he smote the rock, that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed; can he give bread also? will he provide flesh for his people? 019 PSA 078 021 Therefore the LORD heard, and was wroth: and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also went up against Israel; 019 PSA 078 022 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation. 019 PSA 078 023 Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven; 019 PSA 078 024 And he rained down manna upon them to eat, and gave them of the corn of heaven. 019 PSA 078 025 Man did eat the bread of the mighty: he sent them meat to the full. 019 PSA 078 026 He caused the east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he guided the south wind. 019 PSA 078 027 He rained flesh also upon them as the dust, and winged fowl as the sand of the seas: 019 PSA 078 028 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations. 019 PSA 078 029 So they did eat, and were well filled; and he gave them that they lusted after. 019 PSA 078 030 They were not estranged from their lust, their meat was yet in their mouths, 019 PSA 078 031 When the anger of God went up against them, and slew of the fattest of them, and smote down the young men of Israel. 019 PSA 078 032 For all this they sinned still, and believed not in his wondrous works. 019 PSA 078 033 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in terror. 019 PSA 078 034 When he slew them, then they inquired after him: and they returned and sought God early. 019 PSA 078 035 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the Most High God their redeemer. 019 PSA 078 036 But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied unto him with their tongue. 019 PSA 078 037 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they faithful in his covenant. 019 PSA 078 038 But he, being full of compassion, forgave [their] iniquity, and destroyed [them] not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath. 019 PSA 078 039 And he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. 019 PSA 078 040 How oft did they rebel against him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert! 019 PSA 078 041 And they turned again and tempted God, and provoked the Holy One of Israel. 019 PSA 078 042 They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary. 019 PSA 078 043 How he set his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan; 019 PSA 078 044 And turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, that they could not drink. 019 PSA 078 045 He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them. 019 PSA 078 046 He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust. 019 PSA 078 047 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost. 019 PSA 078 048 He gave over 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, a band of angels of evil. 019 PSA 078 050 He made a path for 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 tents of Ham: 019 PSA 078 052 But he led forth his own people like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. 019 PSA 078 053 And he led them 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, to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased. 019 PSA 078 055 He drove out the nations also before them, and allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. 019 PSA 078 056 Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, and kept not his testimonies; 019 PSA 078 057 But turned back, and dealt treacherously 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 wroth, 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 adversary’s hand. 019 PSA 078 062 He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance. 019 PSA 078 063 Fire devoured their young men; and their maidens had no marriage-song. 019 PSA 078 064 Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation. 019 PSA 078 065 Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine. 019 PSA 078 066 And he smote his adversaries backward: he put them to a perpetual reproach. 019 PSA 078 067 Moreover he refused the tent 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 the heights, like the earth which he hath established for ever. 019 PSA 078 070 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds: 019 PSA 078 071 From following the ewes that give suck 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 are come into thine 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 meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth. 019 PSA 079 003 Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them. 019 PSA 079 004 We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us. 019 PSA 079 005 How long, O 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 know thee not, and upon the kingdoms that call not upon thy name. 019 PSA 079 007 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his habitation. 019 PSA 079 008 Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent 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 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed be known among the heathen in our sight. 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 death; 019 PSA 079 012 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith 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 shew forth thy praise to all generations. 019 PSA 080 001 For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim Eduth. A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that sittest upon the cherubim, shine forth. 019 PSA 080 002 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy might, and come to save us. 019 PSA 080 003 Turn 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 hast fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure. 019 PSA 080 006 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves. 019 PSA 080 007 Turn us again, O God of hosts; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved. 019 PSA 080 008 Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt: thou didst drive out the nations, and plantedst it. 019 PSA 080 009 Thou preparedst [room] before it, and it took deep root, and filled the land. 019 PSA 080 010 The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were [like] cedars of God. 019 PSA 080 011 She sent out her branches unto the sea, and her shoots unto the River. 019 PSA 080 012 Why hast thou broken down her fences, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her? 019 PSA 080 013 The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, and the wild beasts of the field feed on it. 019 PSA 080 014 Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine, 019 PSA 080 015 And the stock which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself. 019 PSA 080 016 It is burned 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 shall we not go back from thee: quicken thou us, and we will call upon thy name, 019 PSA 080 019 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts; cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved. 019 PSA 081 001 For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. 019 PSA 081 002 Take up the psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery. 019 PSA 081 003 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, at the full moon, on our solemn feast day. 019 PSA 081 004 For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob. 019 PSA 081 005 He appointed it in Joseph for testimony, when he went out over the land of Egypt: [where] I heard a language that I knew not. 019 PSA 081 006 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were freed from the basket. 019 PSA 081 007 Thou calledst in trouble, and 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 unto thee: O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto 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, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. 019 PSA 081 011 But my people hearkened not to my voice; and Israel would none of me. 019 PSA 081 012 So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, that they might walk in their own counsels. 019 PSA 081 013 Oh that my people would hearken unto me, that Israel would walk in my ways! 019 PSA 081 014 I should soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries. 019 PSA 081 015 The haters of the LORD should submit themselves unto him: but their time should endure for ever. 019 PSA 081 016 He should feed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I satisfy thee. 019 PSA 082 001 A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of God; he judgeth among the gods. 019 PSA 082 002 How long will ye judge unjustly, and respect the persons of the wicked? (Selah) 019 PSA 082 003 Judge the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and destitute. 019 PSA 082 004 Rescue the poor and needy: deliver them out of the hand of the wicked. 019 PSA 082 005 They know not, neither do they understand; they walk to and fro in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are moved. 019 PSA 082 006 I said, Ye are gods, and all of you sons of the Most High. 019 PSA 082 007 Nevertheless 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 the nations. 019 PSA 083 001 A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. O God, keep not thou silence: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. 019 PSA 083 002 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. 019 PSA 083 003 They take crafty counsel against thy people, and consult together 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; against thee do they make a covenant: 019 PSA 083 006 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagarenes; 019 PSA 083 007 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre: 019 PSA 083 008 Assyria also is joined with them; they have holpen the children of Lot. (Selah) 019 PSA 083 009 Do thou unto them as unto Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon: 019 PSA 083 010 Which perished at En-dor; they became as dung for the earth. 019 PSA 083 011 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; yea, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna: 019 PSA 083 012 Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession the habitations of God. 019 PSA 083 013 O my God, make them like the whirling dust; as stubble before the wind. 019 PSA 083 014 As the fire that burneth the forest, and as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire; 019 PSA 083 015 So pursue them with thy tempest, and terrify them with thy storm. 019 PSA 083 016 Fill their faces with confusion; that they may seek thy name, O LORD. 019 PSA 083 017 Let them be ashamed and dismayed for ever; yea, let them be confounded and perish: 019 PSA 083 018 That they may know that thou alone, whose name is JEHOVAH, art the Most High over all the earth. 019 PSA 084 001 For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! 019 PSA 084 002 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out unto the living God. 019 PSA 084 003 Yea, the sparrow hath found her an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine 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 highways [to Zion]. 019 PSA 084 006 Passing through the valley of Weeping they make it a place of springs; yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings. 019 PSA 084 007 They go from strength to strength, every one of them appeareth before God in Zion. 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 thine 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 a shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing 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 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. LORD, Thou hast been favourable unto 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 087 004 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this one was born there. 019 PSA 087 005 Yea, of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; and the Most High himself shall establish her. 019 PSA 087 006 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the peoples, this one was born there.

O LORD, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee: 019 PSA 088 002 Let my prayer enter into thy presence; incline thine ear unto my cry: 019 PSA 088 003 For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draweth nigh unto Sheol. (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 help: 019 PSA 088 005 Cast off 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 dark places, in the deeps. 019 PSA 088 007 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. (Selah) 019 PSA 088 008 Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. 019 PSA 088 009 Mine eye wasteth away by reason of affliction: I have called daily upon thee, O LORD, I have spread forth my hands unto thee. 019 PSA 088 010 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall they that are deceased 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 unto thee, O LORD, have I cried, 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 is gone over me; thy terrors have cut me off. 019 PSA 088 017 They came round about me like water all the day long; they compassed me about together. 019 PSA 088 018 Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine 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 unto 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 assembly of the holy ones. 019 PSA 089 006 For who in the skies can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty is like unto the LORD, 019 PSA 089 007 A God very terrible in the council of the holy ones, and to be feared above all them that are round about him? 019 PSA 089 008 O LORD God of hosts, who is a mighty one, like unto thee, O JAH? and thy faithfulness is round about thee. 019 PSA 089 009 Thou rulest the pride of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them. 019 PSA 089 010 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with the arm of thy strength. 019 PSA 089 011 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them. 019 PSA 089 012 The north and the south, thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon 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 judgment are the foundation of thy throne: mercy and truth go before thy face. 019 PSA 089 015 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance. 019 PSA 089 016 In thy name do they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness are they 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 our shield belongeth unto the LORD; and our king to the Holy One of Israel. 019 PSA 089 019 Then thou spakest in vision to thy saints, and saidst, 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; mine 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 adversaries before him, and smite 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 on the sea, and his right hand on the rivers. 019 PSA 089 026 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. 019 PSA 089 027 I also will make him [my] firstborn, the highest of 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 But my mercy will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. 019 PSA 089 034 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. 019 PSA 089 035 Once have I sworn by my holiness; I will not lie unto 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] the faithful witness in the sky. (Selah) 019 PSA 089 038 But thou hast cast off and rejected, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed. 019 PSA 089 039 Thou hast abhorred the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown [even] to the ground. 019 PSA 089 040 Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to rain. 019 PSA 089 041 All that pass by the way spoil him: he is become a reproach to his neighbours. 019 PSA 089 042 Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. 019 PSA 089 043 Yea, thou turnest back the edge his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle. 019 PSA 089 044 Thou hast made his brightness 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, O LORD, wilt thou hid thyself for ever? [how long] shall thy wrath burn like fire? 019 PSA 089 047 O remember how short my time is: for what vanity hast thou created all the children of men! 019 PSA 089 048 What man is he that shall live and not see death, that shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? (Selah) (Sheol h7585) 019 PSA 089 049 Lord, where are thy former mercies, which thou swarest unto David in thy faithfulness? 019 PSA 089 050 Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom [the reproach of] all the mighty peoples: 019 PSA 089 051 Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD, wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. 019 PSA 089 052 Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen. 019 PSA 090 001 A Prayer of Moses the man of God. 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 up. 019 PSA 090 006 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth. 019 PSA 090 007 For we are consumed in thine anger, and in 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 bring our years to an end as a tale [that is told]. 019 PSA 090 010 The days of our years are threescore years and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore years; yet is their pride but labour and sorrow; for it is soon gone, and we fly away. 019 PSA 090 011 Who knoweth the power of thine anger, and thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto thee? 019 PSA 090 012 So teach us to number our days, that we may get us an heart of wisdom. 019 PSA 090 013 Return, O LORD; how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants. 019 PSA 090 014 O satisfy us in the morning with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. 019 PSA 090 015 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil. 019 PSA 090 016 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory upon 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 whom I trust. 019 PSA 091 003 For he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 019 PSA 091 004 He shall cover thee with his pinions, and under his wings shalt thou take refuge: his truth is a shield and a 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 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 nigh thee. 019 PSA 091 008 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the reward of the wicked. 019 PSA 091 009 For thou, O LORD, art my refuge! thou hast made the Most High thy habitation; 019 PSA 091 010 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. 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 serpent 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 shew him my salvation. 019 PSA 092 001 A Psalm, a Song for the sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High: 019 PSA 092 002 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, 019 PSA 092 003 With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; with a solemn sound upon the harp. 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 How great are thy works, O LORD! thy thoughts are very deep. 019 PSA 092 006 A brutish 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, O LORD, art on high for evermore. 019 PSA 092 009 For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. 019 PSA 092 010 But my horn hast thou exalted like [the horn of] the wild-ox: I am anointed with fresh oil. 019 PSA 092 011 Mine eye also hath seen [my desire] on mine enemies, mine ears have heard [my desire] of the evil-doers 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 They 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 full of sap and green: 019 PSA 092 015 To shew 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 apparelled with majesty; the LORD is apparelled, he hath girded himself with strength: the world also is stablished, 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 up their waves. 019 PSA 093 004 Above the voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the sea, the LORD on high is mighty. 019 PSA 093 005 Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for evermore. 019 PSA 094 001 O LORD, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth. 019 PSA 094 002 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render to the proud [their] desert. 019 PSA 094 003 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? 019 PSA 094 004 They prate, they speak arrogantly: all the workers of iniquity boast themselves. 019 PSA 094 005 They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage. 019 PSA 094 006 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. 019 PSA 094 007 And they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob consider. 019 PSA 094 008 Consider, ye brutish 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 nations, shall not he correct, [even] he that teacheth man knowledge? 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 out of thy law; 019 PSA 094 013 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged 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 For judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. 019 PSA 094 016 Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? 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 soon 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 wickedness have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by statute? 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 hath been my high tower; and my God the rock of my refuge. 019 PSA 094 023 And he hath brought upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own evil; the LORD our God shall cut them off. 019 PSA 095 001 O COME, let us sing unto 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, let us make a joyful noise unto 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 heights of the mountains are 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. Today, Oh that ye would hear his voice! 019 PSA 095 008 Harden not your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah 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 [that] generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: 019 PSA 095 011 Wherefore I sware in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest. 019 PSA 096 001 O SING unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth. 019 PSA 096 002 Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day. 019 PSA 096 003 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples. 019 PSA 096 004 For great is the LORD, and highly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods. 019 PSA 096 005 For all the gods of the peoples 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 unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the peoples, give unto the LORD glory and strength. 019 PSA 096 008 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts. 019 PSA 096 009 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: tremble before him, all the earth. 019 PSA 096 010 Say among the nations, The LORD reigneth: the world also is stablished that it cannot be moved: he shall judge the peoples with equity. 019 PSA 096 011 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; 019 PSA 096 012 Let the field exult, and all that is therein; then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy; 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 peoples 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 are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the foundation of his throne. 019 PSA 097 003 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his adversaries round about. 019 PSA 097 004 His lightnings lightened 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 peoples have seen his glory. 019 PSA 097 007 Ashamed 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 most high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods. 019 PSA 097 010 O 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 Be glad in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks to his holy name. 019 PSA 098 001 A Psalm.

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee. 019 PSA 102 002 Hide not thy face from me in the day of my distress: incline thine ear unto me; in the day when I call answer me speedily. 019 PSA 102 003 For my days consume away like smoke, and my bones are burned as a firebrand. 019 PSA 102 004 My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; for I forget to eat my bread. 019 PSA 102 005 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my flesh. 019 PSA 102 006 I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places. 019 PSA 102 007 I watch, and am become like a sparrow that is alone upon the housetop. 019 PSA 102 008 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; they that are mad against me do curse by me. 019 PSA 102 009 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping. 019 PSA 102 010 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast taken me up, and cast me away. 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 abide for ever; and thy memorial unto all generations. 019 PSA 102 013 Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for it is time to have pity upon her, yea, the set time is come. 019 PSA 102 014 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and have pity upon her dust. 019 PSA 102 015 So the nations shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory: 019 PSA 102 016 For the LORD hath built up Zion, he hath appeared in his glory; 019 PSA 102 017 He hath regarded the prayer of the destitute, and hath not despised their prayer. 019 PSA 102 018 This shall be written for the generation to come: and a 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 did the LORD behold the earth; 019 PSA 102 020 To hear the sighing of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death; 019 PSA 102 021 That men may declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem; 019 PSA 102 022 When the peoples 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 wax 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 thine 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. 019 PSA 103 006 The LORD executeth righteous acts, and judgments for all that are oppressed. 019 PSA 103 007 He made known his ways unto Moses, his doings unto the children of Israel. 019 PSA 103 008 The LORD is full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous 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 after our sins, nor rewarded us after 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 the place thereof 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 unto children’s children; 019 PSA 103 018 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his precepts to do them. 019 PSA 103 019 The LORD hath established his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. 019 PSA 103 020 Bless the LORD, ye angels of his: ye mighty in strength, that fulfill his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word. 019 PSA 103 021 Bless the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. 019 PSA 103 022 Bless the LORD, all ye 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 winds his messengers; his ministers a flaming fire: 019 PSA 104 005 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved for ever. 019 PSA 104 006 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture; 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 went up by the mountains, they went down by the valleys, unto the place which thou hadst 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 forth springs into the valleys; they run among the mountains: 019 PSA 104 011 They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild asses quench their thirst. 019 PSA 104 012 By them the fowl of the heaven have their habitation, they sing among the branches. 019 PSA 104 013 He watereth the mountains 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 that strengtheneth man’s heart. 019 PSA 104 016 The trees of the LORD are satisfied; 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 mountains are for the wild goats; the rocks are a refuge for the conies. 019 PSA 104 019 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. 019 PSA 104 020 Thou makest darkness, and it is night; Wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth. 019 PSA 104 021 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God. 019 PSA 104 022 The sun ariseth, they get them away, and lay them down in their dens. 019 PSA 104 023 Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening. 019 PSA 104 024 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. 019 PSA 104 025 Yonder is the sea, great and wide, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. 019 PSA 104 026 There go the ships; there is leviathan, whom thou hast formed to take his pastime therein. 019 PSA 104 027 These wait all upon thee, that thou mayest give them their meat in due season. 019 PSA 104 028 That thou givest unto them they gather; thou openest thine hand, they are satisfied 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 ground. 019 PSA 104 031 Let the glory of the LORD endure for ever; let the LORD rejoice in his works: 019 PSA 104 032 Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke. 019 PSA 104 033 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have any being. 019 PSA 104 034 Let my meditation be sweet unto him: I will rejoice in the LORD. 019 PSA 104 035 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD. 019 PSA 105 001 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name; make known his doings among the peoples. 019 PSA 105 002 Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; talk ye of all his marvelous 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 ye the LORD and his strength; seek his face evermore. 019 PSA 105 005 Remember his marvelous 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 ones. 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 [The covenant] which he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; 019 PSA 105 010 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant: 019 PSA 105 011 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance: 019 PSA 105 012 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and sojourners in it; 019 PSA 105 013 And they went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people. 019 PSA 105 014 He suffered no man to do them wrong; yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; 019 PSA 105 015 [Saying], Touch not mine anointed ones, and do my prophets no harm. 019 PSA 105 016 And he called for a famine upon the land; he brake the whole staff of bread. 019 PSA 105 017 He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant: 019 PSA 105 018 His feet they hurt with fetters; he was laid in [chains of] iron: 019 PSA 105 019 Until the time that his word came to pass; the word of the LORD tried him. 019 PSA 105 020 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of peoples, 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 senators 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 adversaries. 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 set among them his signs, and wonders in the land of Ham. 019 PSA 105 028 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his words. 019 PSA 105 029 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish. 019 PSA 105 030 Their land swarmed with frogs, in the chambers of their kings. 019 PSA 105 031 He spake, and there came swarms of flies, and lice in all their borders. 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 brake the trees of their borders. 019 PSA 105 034 He spake, and the locust came, and the cankerworm, and that without number, 019 PSA 105 035 And did eat up every herb in their land, and did eat up 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 And he brought them forth with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among his tribes. 019 PSA 105 038 Egypt was glad when they departed; for the fear of them had fallen 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 They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. 019 PSA 105 041 He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places [like] a river. 019 PSA 105 042 For he remembered his holy word, [and] Abraham his servant. 019 PSA 105 043 And he brought forth his people with joy, [and] his chosen with singing. 019 PSA 105 044 And he gave them the lands of the nations; and they took the labour of the peoples in possession: 019 PSA 105 045 That they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise ye the LORD. 019 PSA 106 001 Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto 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, or shew 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 unto thy people; O visit me with thy salvation: 019 PSA 106 005 That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine 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 were rebellious 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 a 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 adversaries: there was not one of them left. 019 PSA 106 012 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise. 019 PSA 106 013 They soon forgat 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 a molten image. 019 PSA 106 020 Thus they changed their glory for the likeness of an ox that eateth grass. 019 PSA 106 021 They forgat God their saviour, which 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 unto the voice of the LORD. 019 PSA 106 026 Therefore he lifted up his hand unto them, that he would overthrow them in the wilderness: 019 PSA 106 027 And that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, and scatter them in the lands. 019 PSA 106 028 They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. 019 PSA 106 029 Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings; and the plague brake in upon them. 019 PSA 106 030 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed. 019 PSA 106 031 And that was counted unto him for righteousness, unto all generations for evermore. 019 PSA 106 032 They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes: 019 PSA 106 033 Because they were rebellious against his spirit, and he spake unadvisedly with his lips. 019 PSA 106 034 They did not destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them; 019 PSA 106 035 But mingled themselves with the nations, and learned their works: 019 PSA 106 036 And they served their idols; which became a snare unto them: 019 PSA 106 037 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons, 019 PSA 106 038 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood. 019 PSA 106 039 Thus were they defiled with their works, and went a whoring in their doings. 019 PSA 106 040 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, and he abhorred his inheritance. 019 PSA 106 041 And he gave them into the hand of the nations; 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 were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity. 019 PSA 106 044 Nevertheless he regarded their distress, 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 of all those that carried them captives. 019 PSA 106 047 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the nations, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise. 019 PSA 106 048 Blessed be the LORD, the God or Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD. 019 PSA 107 001 O GIVE thanks unto 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 adversary; 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 desert way; they found no city of habitation. 019 PSA 107 005 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. 019 PSA 107 006 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. 019 PSA 107 007 He led them also by a straight way, that they might go to a city of habitation. 019 PSA 107 008 Oh 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 the hungry soul he filleth with good. 019 PSA 107 010 Such as sat 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 contemned 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 unto the LORD hi 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 brake their bands in sunder. 019 PSA 107 015 Oh 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 in sunder. 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 meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. 019 PSA 107 019 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. 019 PSA 107 020 He sendeth his word, and healeth them, and delivereth [them] from their destructions. 019 PSA 107 021 Oh 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 offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with singing. 019 PSA 107 023 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in 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 the waves thereof. 019 PSA 107 026 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul melteth away 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 unto 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 the waves thereof are still. 019 PSA 107 030 Then are they glad because they be quiet: so he bringeth them unto the haven where they would be. 019 PSA 107 031 Oh 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 assembly of the people, and praise him in the seat of the elders. 019 PSA 107 033 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and watersprings into a thirsty ground; 019 PSA 107 034 A fruitful land into a salt desert, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. 019 PSA 107 035 He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water, and a dry land into watersprings. 019 PSA 107 036 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city of habitation; 019 PSA 107 037 And sow fields, and plant vineyards, and get them fruits of increase. 019 PSA 107 038 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and he suffereth not their cattle to decrease. 019 PSA 107 039 Again, they are minished and bowed down through oppression, trouble, and sorrow. 019 PSA 107 040 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way. 019 PSA 107 041 Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction, and maketh [him] families like a flock. 019 PSA 107 042 The upright shall see it, and be glad; and all iniquity shall stop her mouth. 019 PSA 107 043 Whoso is wise shall give heed to these things, and they shall consider the mercies of the LORD. 019 PSA 108 001 A Song, a Psalm Of David. My heart is fixed, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory. 019 PSA 108 002 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early. 019 PSA 108 003 I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the peoples: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations. 019 PSA 108 004 For thy mercy is great above the heavens, and thy truth [reacheth] unto the skies. 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 us. 019 PSA 108 007 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will exult: I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. 019 PSA 108 008 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of mine head; Judah is my sceptre. 019 PSA 108 009 Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe: over Philistia will I shout. 019 PSA 108 010 Who will bring me into the fenced city? who hath led me unto Edom? 019 PSA 108 011 Hast not thou cast us off, O God? and thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts. 019 PSA 108 012 Give us help against the adversary: for vain is the help of man. 019 PSA 108 013 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our adversaries. 019 PSA 109 001 For 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 deceit have they opened against me: they have spoken unto me with a lying tongue. 019 PSA 109 003 They compassed me about 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 unto] 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 an adversary stand at his right hand. 019 PSA 109 007 When he is judged, let him come forth guilty; and let his prayer be turned into 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 vagabonds, and beg; and let them seek [their bread] out of their desolate places. 019 PSA 109 011 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let strangers make spoil of his labour. 019 PSA 109 012 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him; neither let there be any to have pity on his fatherless children. 019 PSA 109 013 Let his posterity be cut off; 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 shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, and the broken in heart, to slay [them]. 019 PSA 109 017 Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him; and he delighted not in blessing, and it was far from him. 019 PSA 109 018 He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment, and it came into his inward parts like water, and like oil into his bones. Let it be unto him as the raiment 019 PSA 109 019 wherewith he covereth himself, and for the girdle wherewith he is girded continually. 019 PSA 109 020 This is the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul. 019 PSA 109 021 But deal thou with 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 am become also a reproach unto them: when they see me, they shake their head. 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, they shall be ashamed, but thy servant shall rejoice. 019 PSA 109 029 Let mine adversaries be clothed with dishonour, and let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a mantle. 019 PSA 109 030 I will give great thanks unto 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 needy, to save him from them that judge his soul. 019 PSA 110 001 A Psalm of David. The LORD saith unto my lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. 019 PSA 110 002 The LORD shall send forth the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. 019 PSA 110 003 Thy people offer themselves willingly in the day of thy power: in the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning, thou hast the dew of thy youth. 019 PSA 110 004 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. 019 PSA 110 005 The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. 019 PSA 110 006 He shall judge among the nations, he shall fill [the places] with dead bodies; he shall strike through the head in many countries. 019 PSA 110 007 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head. 019 PSA 111 001 Praise ye the LORD. I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and in the congregation. 019 PSA 111 002 The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. 019 PSA 111 003 His work is honour and majesty: and his righteousness endureth for ever. 019 PSA 111 004 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion. 019 PSA 111 005 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. 019 PSA 111 006 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations. 019 PSA 111 007 The works of his hands are truth and judgment; all his precepts are sure. 019 PSA 111 008 They are established for ever and ever, they are done in truth and uprightness. 019 PSA 111 009 He hath sent redemption unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. 019 PSA 111 010 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do thereafter: his praise endureth for ever. 019 PSA 112 001 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. 019 PSA 112 002 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. 019 PSA 112 003 Wealth and riches are in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. 019 PSA 112 004 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: [he is] gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. 019 PSA 112 005 Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth; he shall maintain his cause in judgment. 019 PSA 112 006 For he shall never be moved; the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance. 019 PSA 112 007 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. 019 PSA 112 008 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his adversaries. 019 PSA 112 009 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy; his righteousness endureth for ever: his horn shall be exalted with honour. 019 PSA 112 010 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish. 019 PSA 113 001 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. 019 PSA 113 002 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. 019 PSA 113 003 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’S name is to be praised. 019 PSA 113 004 The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. 019 PSA 113 005 Who is like unto the LORD our God, that hath his seat on high, 019 PSA 113 006 That humbleth himself to behold [the things that are] in heaven and in the earth? 019 PSA 113 007 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the needy from the dunghill; 019 PSA 113 008 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. 019 PSA 113 009 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD. 019 PSA 114 001 When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language; 019 PSA 114 002 Judah became his sanctuary, 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, the little hills like young sheep. 019 PSA 114 005 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? thou Jordan, that thou turnest back? 019 PSA 114 006 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye little hills, like young sheep? 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 Which turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters. 019 PSA 115 001 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake. 019 PSA 115 002 Wherefore should the nations say, Where is now their God? 019 PSA 115 003 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever 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 shall be like unto them; yea, 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 ye 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 increase you more and more, you and your children. 019 PSA 115 015 Blessed are ye of the LORD, which made heaven and earth. 019 PSA 115 016 The heavens are the heavens of the LORD; 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 ye 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 unto me, therefore will I call [upon him] as long as I live. 019 PSA 116 003 The cords of death compassed me, and the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585) 019 PSA 116 004 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. 019 PSA 116 005 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. 019 PSA 116 006 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me. 019 PSA 116 007 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. 019 PSA 116 008 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, [and] my feet from falling. 019 PSA 116 009 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. 019 PSA 116 010 I believe, for I will speak: I was greatly afflicted: 019 PSA 116 011 I said in my haste, All men are a lie. 019 PSA 116 012 What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me? 019 PSA 116 013 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. 019 PSA 116 014 I will pay my vows unto the LORD, yea, in the presence of all his people. 019 PSA 116 015 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. 019 PSA 116 016 O LORD, truly I am thy servant: I am thy servant, the son of thine handmaid; thou hast loosed my bonds. 019 PSA 116 017 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD. 019 PSA 116 018 I will pay my vows unto the LORD, yea, in the presence of all his people. 019 PSA 116 019 In the courts of the LORD’S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD. 019 PSA 117 001 O PRAISE the LORD, all ye nations; laud him, all ye peoples. 019 PSA 117 002 For his mercy is great toward us; and the truth of the LORD [endureth] for ever. Praise ye the LORD. 019 PSA 118 001 O GIVE thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. 019 PSA 118 002 Let Israel now say, that his mercy [endureth] for ever. 019 PSA 118 003 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy [endureth] for ever. 019 PSA 118 004 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy [endureth] for ever. 019 PSA 118 005 Out of my distress I called upon the LORD: the LORD answered me [and set me] in a large place. 019 PSA 118 006 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? 019 PSA 118 007 The LORD is on my side among 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 compassed me about: in the name of the LORD I will cut them off. 019 PSA 118 011 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: in the name of the LORD I will cut them off. 019 PSA 118 012 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: in the name of the LORD I will cut them off. 019 PSA 118 013 Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me. 019 PSA 118 014 The LORD is my strength and song;

the righteous shall enter into it. 019 PSA 118 021 I will give thanks unto thee, for thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation. 019 PSA 118 022 The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner. 019 PSA 118 023 This is the LORD’S doing; it is marvelous 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, we beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, we 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 The LORD is God, and he hath given us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar. 019 PSA 118 028 Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee. 019 PSA 118 029 O give thanks unto the LORD;

I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of the LORD. 019 PSA 122 002 Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem; 019 PSA 122 003 Jerusalem, that art builded as a city that is compact together: 019 PSA 122 004 Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD [for] a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks into the name of the LORD. 019 PSA 122 005 For there are set thrones for 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’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. 019 PSA 122 009 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good. 019 PSA 123 001 A Song of Ascents. Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that sittest in the heavens. 019 PSA 123 002 Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes [look] unto the LORD our God, until he 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 Ascents; of David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now 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 is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are 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 Ascents. They that trust in the LORD are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever. 019 PSA 125 002 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people, from this time forth and for evermore. 019 PSA 125 003 For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; that the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity. 019 PSA 125 004 Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts. 019 PSA 125 005 But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity.

Peace be upon Israel. 019 PSA 129 001 A Song of Ascents. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up, let Israel now say; 019 PSA 129 002 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up: 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 be ashamed and turned backward, all they that hate Zion. 019 PSA 129 006 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up: 019 PSA 129 007 Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom. 019 PSA 129 008 Neither do they which 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 Ascents.

I will give thee thanks with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praises unto thee. 019 PSA 138 002 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. 019 PSA 138 003 In the day that I called thou answeredst me, thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul. 019 PSA 138 004 All the kings of the earth shall give thee thanks, O LORD, for they have heard the words of thy mouth. 019 PSA 138 005 Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD; for great is the glory of the LORD. 019 PSA 138 006 For though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the haughty he knoweth from afar. 019 PSA 138 007 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. 019 PSA 138 008 The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, [endureth] for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands. 019 PSA 139 001 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. LORD, thou hast searched me, and known [me]. 019 PSA 139 002 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 019 PSA 139 003 Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 019 PSA 139 004 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. 019 PSA 139 005 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. 019 PSA 139 006 [Such] knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. 019 PSA 139 007 Whither shall I from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 019 PSA 139 008 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art there. (Sheol h7585) 019 PSA 139 009 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 019 PSA 139 010 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. 019 PSA 139 011 If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, and the light about me shall be night; 019 PSA 139 012 Even the darkness hideth not from thee, but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike [to thee]. 019 PSA 139 013 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. 019 PSA 139 014 I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: wonderful are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. 019 PSA 139 015 My frame was not hidden from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 019 PSA 139 016 Thine eyes did see mine unperfect substance, and in thy book were all [my members] written, which day by day were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. 019 PSA 139 017 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! 019 PSA 139 018 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. 019 PSA 139 019 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men. 019 PSA 139 020 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take [thy name] in vain. 019 PSA 139 021 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? 019 PSA 139 022 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. 019 PSA 139 023 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me and know my thoughts: 019 PSA 139 024 And see if there be any way of wickedness in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. 019 PSA 140 001 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man: 019 PSA 140 002 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually do they gather themselves together for war. 019 PSA 140 003 They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips. (Selah) 019 PSA 140 004 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man: Who have purposed to thrust aside my steps. 019 PSA 140 005 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the way side; they have set gins for me. (Selah) 019 PSA 140 006 I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: give ear unto the voice of my supplications, O LORD. 019 PSA 140 007 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. 019 PSA 140 008 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; further not his evil device; [lest] they exalt themselves. (Selah) 019 PSA 140 009 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them. 019 PSA 140 010 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again. 019 PSA 140 011 An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. 019 PSA 140 012 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the needy. 019 PSA 140 013 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence. 019 PSA 141 001 A Psalm of David. LORD, I have called upon thee; make haste unto me: give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee. 019 PSA 141 002 Let my prayer be set forth as incense before thee; 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 tips. 019 PSA 141 004 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to be occupied in deeds of wickedness 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 as] oil upon the head; let not my head refuse it: for even in their wickedness shall my prayer continue. 019 PSA 141 006 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock; and they shall hear my words; for they are sweet. 019 PSA 141 007 As when one ploweth and cleaveth the earth, our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth. (Sheol h7585) 019 PSA 141 008 For mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee do I put my trust; leave not my soul destitute. 019 PSA 141 009 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and from the gins of the workers of iniquity. 019 PSA 141 010 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape. 019 PSA 142 001 Maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a Prayer. I cry with my voice unto the LORD; with my voice unto the LORD do I make supplication. 019 PSA 142 002 I pour out my complaint before him; I shew before him my trouble. 019 PSA 142 003 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walk have they hidden a snare for me. 019 PSA 142 004 Look on [my] right hand, and see; for there is no man that knoweth me: refuge hath failed me; no man careth for my soul. 019 PSA 142 005 I cried unto thee, O LORD; I said, Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living. 019 PSA 142 006 Attend unto 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 give thanks unto thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; 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 dark places, 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 doings: I muse on the work of thy hands. 019 PSA 143 006 I spread forth my hands unto thee: my soul [thirsteth] after thee, as a weary land. (Selah) 019 PSA 143 007 Make haste to answer me, O LORD; my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me; lest I become 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 wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. 019 PSA 143 009 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto 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 in the land of uprightness. 019 PSA 143 011 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name’s sake: in thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble. 019 PSA 143 012 And in thy lovingkindness cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul; for I am thy servant. 019 PSA 144 001 [A Psalm off] David. Blessed be the LORD my rock, which teacheth my hands to war, [and] my fingers to fight: 019 PSA 144 002 My lovingkindness, 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 to 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; send out thine arrows, and discomfit them. 019 PSA 144 007 Stretch forth thine hand from above; rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hand of strangers; 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 unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee. 019 PSA 144 010 It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who rescueth David his servant from the hurtful sword. 019 PSA 144 011 Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of strangers, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood. 019 PSA 144 012 When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth; and our daughters as corner stones hewn after the fashion of a palace; 019 PSA 144 013 [When] our garners are full, affording all manner of store; [and] our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields; 019 PSA 144 014 [When] our oxen are well laden; [when there is] no breaking in, and no going forth, and no outcry in our streets; 019 PSA 144 015 Happy is the people, that is in such a case: [yea], happy is the people, whose God is the LORD. 019 PSA 145 001 [A Psalm of] praise; of David. 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 highly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. 019 PSA 145 004 One generation shall laud thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. 019 PSA 145 005 Of the glorious majesty of thine honour, and of thy wondrous works, will I meditate. 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 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 give thanks unto 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 glory of the 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 be bowed down. 019 PSA 145 015 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season. 019 PSA 145 016 Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. 019 PSA 145 017 The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and gracious in all his works. 019 PSA 145 018 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. 019 PSA 145 019 He will fulfill 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. Praise the LORD, O my soul. 019 PSA 146 002 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. 019 PSA 146 003 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. 019 PSA 146 004 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. 019 PSA 146 005 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: 019 PSA 146 006 Which made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is; which keepeth truth for ever: 019 PSA 146 007 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed; which giveth food to the hungry: the LORD looseth the prisoners; 019 PSA 146 008 The LORD openeth [the eyes of] the blind; the LORD raiseth up them that are bowed down; the LORD loveth the righteous; 019 PSA 146 009 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he upholdeth the fatherless and widow; but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. 019 PSA 146 010 The LORD shall reign for ever, thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD. 019 PSA 147 001 Praise ye the LORD; for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant, [and] praise is comely. 019 PSA 147 002 The LORD doth build up Jerusalem; he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. 019 PSA 147 003 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. 019 PSA 147 004 He telleth the number of the stars; he giveth them all their names. 019 PSA 147 005 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; his understanding is infinite. 019 PSA 147 006 The LORD upholdeth the meek: he bringeth the wicked down to the ground. 019 PSA 147 007 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praises upon the harp unto our God: 019 PSA 147 008 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. 019 PSA 147 009 He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry. 019 PSA 147 010 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man. 019 PSA 147 011 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy. 019 PSA 147 012 Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion. 019 PSA 147 013 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee. 019 PSA 147 014 He maketh peace in thy borders; he filleth thee with the finest of the wheat. 019 PSA 147 015 He sendeth out his commandment upon earth; his word runneth very swiftly. 019 PSA 147 016 He giveth snow like wool; he scattereth the hoar frost like ashes. 019 PSA 147 017 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold? 019 PSA 147 018 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow. 019 PSA 147 019 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. 019 PSA 147 020 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them.

020 PRO 001 003 To receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness and judgment and equity; 020 PRO 001 004 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion: 020 PRO 001 005 That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; and that the man of understanding may attain unto sound counsels: 020 PRO 001 006 To understand a proverb, and a figure; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. 020 PRO 001 007 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: [but] the foolish despise wisdom and instruction. 020 PRO 001 008 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: 020 PRO 001 009 For they shall be a chaplet of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck. 020 PRO 001 010 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. 020 PRO 001 011 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause; 020 PRO 001 012 Let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, and whole, as those that go down into the pit; (Sheol h7585) 020 PRO 001 013 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil; 020 PRO 001 014 Thou shalt cast thy lot among us; we will all have one purse: 020 PRO 001 015 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: 020 PRO 001 016 For their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood. 020 PRO 001 017 For in vain is the net spread, in the eyes of any bird: 020 PRO 001 018 And these lay wait for their own blood, they lurk privily for their own lives. 020 PRO 001 019 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; it taketh away the life of the owners thereof. 020 PRO 001 020 Wisdom crieth aloud in the street; she uttereth her voice in the broad places; 020 PRO 001 021 She crieth in the chief place of concourse; at the entering in of the gates, in the city, she uttereth her words: 020 PRO 001 022 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and scorners delight them in scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 020 PRO 001 023 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. 020 PRO 001 024 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; 020 PRO 001 025 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: 020 PRO 001 026 I also will laugh in [the day of] your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 020 PRO 001 027 When your fear cometh as a storm, and your calamity cometh on as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come upon you. 020 PRO 001 028 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me diligently, but they shall not find me: 020 PRO 001 029 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: 020 PRO 001 030 They would none of my counsel; they despised all my reproof: 020 PRO 001 031 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. 020 PRO 001 032 For the backsliding of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. 020 PRO 001 033 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell securely, and shall be quiet without fear of evil. 020 PRO 002 001 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and lay up my commandments with thee; 020 PRO 002 002 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; 020 PRO 002 003 Yea, if thou cry after discernment, and lift up thy voice for understanding; 020 PRO 002 004 If thou seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures; 020 PRO 002 005 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. 020 PRO 002 006 For the LORD giveth wisdom; out of his mouth [cometh] knowledge and understanding: 020 PRO 002 007 He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright, [he is] a shield to them that walk in integrity; 020 PRO 002 008 That he may guard the paths of judgment, and preserve the way of his saints. 020 PRO 002 009 Then shalt thou understand righteousness and judgment, and equity, [yea], every good path. 020 PRO 002 010 For wisdom shall enter into thine heart, and knowledge shall be pleasant unto thy soul; 020 PRO 002 011 Discretion shall watch over thee, understanding shall keep thee: 020 PRO 002 012 To deliver thee from the way of evil, from the men that speak froward things; 020 PRO 002 013 Who forsake the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; 020 PRO 002 014 Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of evil; 020 PRO 002 015 Who are crooked in their ways, and perverse in their paths: 020 PRO 002 016 To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words; 020 PRO 002 017 Which forsaketh the friend of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God: 020 PRO 002 018 For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead: 020 PRO 002 019 None that go unto her return again, neither do they attain unto the paths of life: 020 PRO 002 020 That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous. 020 PRO 002 021 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. 020 PRO 002 022 But the wicked shall be cut off from the land, and they that deal treacherously shall be rooted out of it. 020 PRO 003 001 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: 020 PRO 003 002 For length of days, and years of life, and peace, shall they add to thee. 020 PRO 003 003 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: 020 PRO 003 004 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. 020 PRO 003 005 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart, and lean not upon thine own understanding: 020 PRO 003 006 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 020 PRO 003 007 Be not wise in thine own eyes; fear the LORD, and depart from evil: 020 PRO 003 008 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. 020 PRO 003 009 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: 020 PRO 003 010 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy vats shall overflow with new wine. 020 PRO 003 011 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD;

021 ECC 001 004 One generation goeth, and another generation cometh; and the earth abideth for ever. 021 ECC 001 005 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he ariseth. 021 ECC 001 006 The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it turneth about continually in its course, and the wind returneth again to its circuits. 021 ECC 001 007 All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full; unto the place whither the rivers go, thither they go again. 021 ECC 001 008 All things are full of weariness; man cannot utter [it]: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. 021 ECC 001 009 That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. 021 ECC 001 010 Is there a thing whereof men say, See, this is new? it hath been already, in the ages which were before us. 021 ECC 001 011 There is no remembrance of the former [generations]; neither shall there be any remembrance of the latter [generations] that are to come, among those that shall come after. 021 ECC 001 012 I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem. 021 ECC 001 013 And I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven: it is a sore travail that God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith. 021 ECC 001 014 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind. 021 ECC 001 015 That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered. 021 ECC 001 016 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I have gotten me great wisdom above all that were before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart hath had great experience of wisdom and knowledge. 021 ECC 001 017 And I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also was a striving after wind. 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 mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also was vanity. 021 ECC 002 002 I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it? 021 ECC 002 003 I searched in mine heart how to cheer my flesh with wine, mine heart yet guiding [me] with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what it was good for the sons of men that they should do under the heaven all the days of their life. 021 ECC 002 004 I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards; 021 ECC 002 005 I made me gardens and parks, and I planted trees in them of all kinds of fruit: 021 ECC 002 006 I made me pools of water, to water therefrom the forest where trees were reared: 021 ECC 002 007 I bought menservants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all that were before me in Jerusalem: 021 ECC 002 008 I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, concubines very many. 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 whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them: I withheld not my heart from any joy, for my heart rejoiced because of all my labour; and this was my portion from 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 a striving after wind, 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?

Then I said in my heart, that this also was vanity. 021 ECC 002 016 For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no remembrance for ever; seeing that in the days to come all will have been already forgotten. And how doth the wise man die even as the fool! 021 ECC 002 017 So I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun was grievous unto me: for all is vanity and a striving after wind. 021 ECC 002 018 And I hated all my labour wherein I laboured under the sun: seeing that I must leave it unto 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 wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed wisdom under the sun. This also is vanity. 021 ECC 002 020 Therefore I turned about to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labour wherein I had laboured under the sun. 021 ECC 002 021 For there is a man whose labour is with wisdom, and with knowledge, and with skilfulness; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil. 021 ECC 002 022 For what hath a man of all his labour, and of the striving of his heart, wherein he laboureth under the sun? 021 ECC 002 023 For all his days are [but] sorrows, and his travail is grief; yea, even in the night his heart taketh no rest. This also is vanity. 021 ECC 002 024 There is nothing better for a man [than] that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God. 021 ECC 002 025 For who can eat, or who can have enjoyment, more than I? 021 ECC 002 026 For to the man that pleaseth him [God] giveth wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that pleaseth God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind. 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 together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 021 ECC 003 006 a time to seek, 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 for war, and a time for peace. 021 ECC 003 009 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? 021 ECC 003 010 I have seen the travail which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith. 021 ECC 003 011 He hath made every thing beautiful in its time: also he hath set the world in their heart, yet so that man cannot find out the work that God hath done from the beginning even to the end. 021 ECC 003 012 I know that there is nothing better for them, than to rejoice, and to do good so long as they live. 021 ECC 003 013 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labour, is the gift of God. 021 ECC 003 014 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God hath done it, that men should fear before him. 021 ECC 003 015 That which is hath been already; and that which is to be hath already been: and God seeketh again that which is passed away. 021 ECC 003 016 And moreover I saw under the sun, in the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, that wickedness was there. 021 ECC 003 017 I said in mine 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 mine heart, [It is] because of the sons of men, that God may prove them, and that they may see that they themselves are [but as] 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; and man hath no preeminence above the beasts: for all is vanity. 021 ECC 003 020 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. 021 ECC 003 021 Who knoweth the spirit of man whether it goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast whether it goeth downward to the earth? 021 ECC 003 022 Wherefore I saw that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him [back] to see what shall be after him? 021 ECC 004 001 Then I returned and saw 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 Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive; 021 ECC 004 003 yea, better than them both [did I esteem] him which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun. 021 ECC 004 004 Then I saw all labour and every skilful work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This also is vanity and a striving after wind. 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 two handfuls with labour and striving after wind. 021 ECC 004 007 Then I returned and saw vanity under the sun. 021 ECC 004 008 There is one that is alone, and he hath not a second; yea, he hath neither son nor brother; yet is there no end of all his labour, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches. For whom then, [saith he], do I labour, and deprive my soul of good? This also is vanity, yea, it is a sore travail. 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 fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth, and hath not another to lift him up. 021 ECC 004 011 Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth: but how can one be warm [alone]? 021 ECC 004 012 And if a man prevail against him that is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. 021 ECC 004 013 Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king, who knoweth not how to receive admonition any more. 021 ECC 004 014 For out of prison he came forth to be king; yea, even in his kingdom he was born poor. 021 ECC 004 015 I saw all the living which walk under the sun, that they were with the youth, the second, that stood up in his stead. 021 ECC 004 016 There was no end of all the people, even of all them over whom he was: yet they that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind. 021 ECC 005 001 Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God; for to draw nigh to hear is better than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they know not that they do evil. 021 ECC 005 002 Be not rash with thy month, and let not thine 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 with a multitude of business; and a fool’s voice with a multitude of words. 021 ECC 005 004 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou vowest. 021 ECC 005 005 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. 021 ECC 005 006 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands? 021 ECC 005 007 For [thus it cometh to pass] through the multitude of dreams and vanities and many words: but fear thou God. 021 ECC 005 008 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for one higher than the high regardeth; and there be 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 also is vanity. 021 ECC 005 011 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what advantage is there to the owner thereof, saving the beholding [of them] with his eyes? 021 ECC 005 012 The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the fulness of the rich will not suffer him to sleep. 021 ECC 005 013 There is a grievous evil, which I have seen under the sun, [namely], riches kept by the owner thereof to his hurt: 021 ECC 005 014 and those riches perish by evil adventure; and if he hath begotten a son, there is nothing in his hand. 021 ECC 005 015 As he came forth of his mother’s womb, naked shall he go again as he came, and shall take nothing for 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 he laboureth for the wind? 021 ECC 005 017 All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he is sore vexed and hath sickness and wrath. 021 ECC 005 018 Behold, that which I have seen to be good and to be comely is for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labour, wherein he laboureth under the sun, all the days of his life which God hath given him: for this 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 thereof, 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 heavy upon men: 021 ECC 006 002 a man to whom God giveth 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 thereof, but a stranger eateth it; this is vanity, and it is an evil disease. 021 ECC 006 003 If a man beget an hundred children and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, but his soul be not filled with good, and moreover he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he: 021 ECC 006 004 for it cometh in vanity, and departeth in darkness, and the name thereof is covered with darkness; 021 ECC 006 005 moreover it hath not seen the sun nor known it; this hath rest rather than the other: 021 ECC 006 006 yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet enjoy 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 advantage hath the wise more than the fool? [or] what hath the poor man, 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 also is vanity and a striving after wind. 021 ECC 006 010 Whatsoever hath been, the name thereof was given long ago, and it is known that it is man: neither can he contend with him that is mightier than he. 021 ECC 006 011 Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better? 021 ECC 006 012 For who knoweth what is good for man in [his] 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 glad. 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 extortion maketh a wise man foolish; and a gift destroyeth the understanding. 021 ECC 007 008 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: [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 inquire wisely concerning this. 021 ECC 007 011 Wisdom is as good as an inheritance: yea, more excellent is it for them that see the sun. 021 ECC 007 012 For wisdom is a defence, even as money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom preserveth the life of him that hath 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, and in the day of adversity consider: God hath even made the one side by side with the other, to the end that man should not find out any thing [that shall be] after him. 021 ECC 007 015 All this have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a righteous man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth [his life] in his evil-doing. 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 that withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all. 021 ECC 007 019 Wisdom is a strength to the wise man more than ten rulers which are in a city. 021 ECC 007 020 Surely there is not a righteous man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. 021 ECC 007 021 Also take not heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee: 021 ECC 007 022 for oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others. 021 ECC 007 023 All this have I proved in wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me. 021 ECC 007 024 That which is is far off, and exceeding deep; who can find it out? 021 ECC 007 025 I turned about, and my heart [was set] to know and to search out, and to seek wisdom and the reason [of things], and to know that wickedness is folly, and that foolishness is madness: 021 ECC 007 026 And I find a thing more bitter than death, [even] the woman whose heart is snares and nets, [and] her hands [as] bands: whoso 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; [laying] one thing to another, to find out the account: 021 ECC 007 028 which my soul still seeketh, but I have not found: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found. 021 ECC 007 029 Behold, this only have I found, that God made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions. 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 hardness of his face is changed. 021 ECC 008 002 I [counsel thee], Keep the king’s command, and that in regard of the oath of God. 021 ECC 008 003 Be not hasty to go out of his presence; persist not in an evil thing: for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him. 021 ECC 008 004 Because the king’s word [hath] power; and who may say unto him, What doest thou? 021 ECC 008 005 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall know no evil thing; and a wise man’s heart discerneth time and judgment: 021 ECC 008 006 for to every purpose there is a time and judgment; because 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 how 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 over the day of death; and there is no discharge in [that] war: neither shall wickedness deliver him that is given to it. 021 ECC 008 009 All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: [there is] a time wherein one man hath power over another to his hurt. 021 ECC 008 010 And withal I saw the wicked buried, and they came [to the grave]; and they that had done right went away from the holy place, and were forgotten in the city: this also is 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 do evil an hundred times, and prolong his [days], yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which 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 be righteous men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be 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 in his labour [all] the days of his life which God hath given him under the sun. 021 ECC 008 016 When I applied mine 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 man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because however much a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea moreover, though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it. 021 ECC 009 001 For all this I laid to my heart, even to explore all this; that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: whether it be love or hatred, man knoweth it not; all 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 in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event unto 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 with 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 As well their love, as their hatred and their envy, is 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 hath already accepted thy works. 021 ECC 009 008 Let thy garments be always white; and let not thy head lack 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 life, and in thy labour wherein thou labourest under the sun. 021 ECC 009 010 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do [it] with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither 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 fame 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, even so, are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them. 021 ECC 009 013 I have also seen wisdom under the sun on this wise, and it seemed great unto me: 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 the wise [spoken] in quiet are heard 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 savour: [so] doth a little folly outweigh wisdom and honour. 021 ECC 010 002 A wise man’s heart is at his right hand; but a fool’s heart at his left. 021 ECC 010 003 Yea also, when the fool walketh by the way, his understanding faileth him, and he saith to every one [that] he is a fool. 021 ECC 010 004 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding allayeth great offences. 021 ECC 010 005 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as it were 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 whoso breaketh through a fence, a serpent shall bite him. 021 ECC 010 009 Whoso heweth out stones shall be hurt therewith; [and] he that cleaveth wood is endangered thereby. 021 ECC 010 010 If the iron be blunt, and one do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct. 021 ECC 010 011 If the serpent bite before it be charmed, then is there no advantage in the charmer. 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 multiplieth words: [yet] man knoweth not what shall be; and that which shall be after him, who can tell him? 021 ECC 010 015 The labour of fools wearieth every one of them, for 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 Happy 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 slothfulness the roof sinketh in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaketh. 021 ECC 010 019 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh glad the life: and 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, yea, even unto eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. 021 ECC 011 003 If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if a tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there shall it 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 wind, [nor] how the bones [do grow] in the womb of her that is with child; even so thou knowest not the work of God who doeth all. 021 ECC 011 006 In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not which shall prosper, whether 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 Yea, if a man live many years, let him rejoice in them all; but 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 thine heart, and in the sight of thine 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 youth and the prime of life are vanity. 021 ECC 012 001 Remember also thy Creator in the days of thy youth, or ever the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; 021 ECC 012 002 or ever the sun, and the light, and the moon, and the stars, be darkened, and 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 be darkened, 021 ECC 012 004 and the door shall be shut in the street; when the sound of the grinding is low, and one shall rise up at the voice of a bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low; 021 ECC 012 005 yea, they shall be afraid of [that which is] high, and terrors [shall be] in the way; and the almond tree shall blossom, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and the caper-berry 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 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 and the dust return to the earth as it was, and the spirit return unto God who gave it. 021 ECC 012 008 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher; all is vanity. 021 ECC 012 009 And further, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he pondered, 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 uprightly, [even] words of truth. 021 ECC 012 011 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails well fastened are [the words of] the masters of assemblies, [which] are given from one shepherd. 021 ECC 012 012 And furthermore, 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 [This is] the end of the matter; all hath been heard: 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 hidden thing, whether it be good or whether it be 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 Thine ointments have a goodly fragrance; 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 make mention of thy love more than of wine: rightly do they 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 swarthy, because the sun hath scorched me. My mother’s sons were incensed against me, they made me keeper of the vineyards; [but] mine own vineyard have I not kept. 022 SOL 001 007 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest [thy flock], where thou makest [it] to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that is veiled beside the flocks of thy companions? 022 SOL 001 008 If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way 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 steed in Pharaoh’s chariots. 022 SOL 001 010 Thy cheeks are comely with plaits [of hair], thy neck with strings of jewels 022 SOL 001 011 We will make thee plaits of gold with studs of silver. 022 SOL 001 012 While the king sat at his table, my spikenard sent forth its fragrance. 022 SOL 001 013 My beloved is unto me [as] a bundle of myrrh, that lieth betwixt my breasts. 022 SOL 001 014 My beloved is unto me [as] a cluster of henna-flowers in the vineyards of En-gedi. 022 SOL 001 015 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thine eyes are [as] doves. 022 SOL 001 016 Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our couch is green. 022 SOL 001 017 The beams of our house are cedars, [and] our rafters are firs. 022 SOL 002 001 I AM a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. 022 SOL 002 002 As a 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 Stay ye me with raisins, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love. 022 SOL 002 006 His left hand [is] under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me. 022 SOL 002 007 I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awaken love, until it 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 in at the windows, he sheweth himself through the lattice. 022 SOL 002 010 My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, 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 turtle is heard in our land; 022 SOL 002 013 The fig tree ripeneth her green figs, and the vines are in blossom, they 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 covert of the steep place, 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 us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vineyards; for our vineyards are in blossom. 022 SOL 002 016 My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth [his flock] among the lilies. 022 SOL 002 017 Until the day be cool, 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 said], 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, when 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 adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awaken love, until it please. 022 SOL 003 006 Who is this that cometh up out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant? 022 SOL 003 007 Behold, it is the litter of Solomon; threescore mighty men are about it, of the mighty men of Israel. 022 SOL 003 008 They all handle the sword, [and] are 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 palanquin of the wood of Lebanon. 022 SOL 003 010 He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of gold, the seat of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, from the daughters of Jerusalem. 022 SOL 003 011 Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon, with the crown wherewith his mother hath 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; thine eyes are as doves behind thy veil: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that lie along the side of mount Gilead. 022 SOL 004 002 Thy teeth are like a flock [of ewes] that are [newly] shorn, which are come up from the washing; whereof every one hath twins, and none is bereaved among them. 022 SOL 004 003 Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy mouth is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind thy veil. 022 SOL 004 004 Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all the shields of the mighty men. 022 SOL 004 005 Thy two breasts are like two fawns that are twins of a roe, which feed among the lilies. 022 SOL 004 006 Until the day be cool, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense. 022 SOL 004 007 Thou art all fair, my love; and there is no spot in thee. 022 SOL 004 008 Come with me from Lebanon, [my] bride, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Senir and Hermon, from the lions’ dens, from the mountains of the leopards. 022 SOL 004 009 Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, [my] bride; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck. 022 SOL 004 010 How fair is thy love, my sister, [my] bride! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all manner of spices! 022 SOL 004 011 Thy lips, [O my] bride, drop [as] the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon. 022 SOL 004 012 A garden shut up is my sister, [my] bride; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed. 022 SOL 004 013 Thy shoots are an orchard of pomegranates, with precious fruits; henna with spikenard plants, 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 [Thou art] a fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and flowing streams from Lebanon. 022 SOL 004 016 Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his precious fruits. 022 SOL 005 001 I AM come into my garden, my sister, [my] bride: 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 was asleep, but my heart waked: 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, 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 in his hand by the hole [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 dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with liquid myrrh, upon the handles of the bolt. 022 SOL 005 006 I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, [and] was gone. My soul had failed me when he spake: 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 go about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my mantle from me. 022 SOL 005 008 I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of 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 adjure us? 022 SOL 005 010 My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest 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 like doves beside the water brooks; washed with milk, [and] fitly set. 022 SOL 005 013 His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as banks of sweet herbs: his lips are as lilies, dropping liquid myrrh. 022 SOL 005 014 His hands are [as] rings of gold set with beryl: his body is [as] ivory work overlaid [with] sapphires. 022 SOL 005 015 His legs are [as] pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his aspect is like 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 Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither hath thy beloved turned him, that we may seek him with thee? 022 SOL 006 002 My beloved is gone down to 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 [his flock] 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 thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me. Thy hair is as a flock of goats, that lie along the side of Gilead. 022 SOL 006 006 Thy teeth are like a flock of ewes, which are come up from the washing; whereof every one hath twins, and none is bereaved among them. 022 SOL 006 007 Thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind thy veil. 022 SOL 006 008 There are threescore queens, and fourscore 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 bare her. The daughters saw her, and called her blessed; [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, terrible as an army with banners? 022 SOL 006 011 I went down into the garden of nuts, to see the green plants of the valley, to see whether the vine budded, [and] the pomegranates were in flower. 022 SOL 006 012 Or ever I was aware, my soul set me [among] the chariots of my princely people. 022 SOL 006 013 Return, return, O Shulammite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. Why will ye look upon the Shulammite, as upon the dance of Mahanaim? 022 SOL 007 001 How beautiful are thy feet in sandals, O prince’s daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman. 022 SOL 007 002 Thy navel is [like] a round goblet, [wherein] no mingled wine is wanting: thy belly is [like] an heap of wheat set about with lilies. 022 SOL 007 003 Thy two breasts are like two fawns that are twins of a roe. 022 SOL 007 004 Thy neck is like the tower of ivory; thine eyes [as] the pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim; thy nose is like the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus. 022 SOL 007 005 Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held captive in the tresses [thereof]. 022 SOL 007 006 How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights! 022 SOL 007 007 This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters [of grapes]. 022 SOL 007 008 I said, I will climb up into the palm tree, I will take hold of the branches thereof: let thy breasts be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy breath like apples; 022 SOL 007 009 And thy mouth like the best wine, that goeth down smoothly for my beloved, gliding through the lips of those that are asleep. 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 whether the vine hath budded, [and] its blossom be open, [and] the pomegranates be in flower: there will I give thee my love. 022 SOL 007 013 The mandrakes give forth fragrance, and at our doors are all manner of precious fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved. 022 SOL 008 001 Oh that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! [when] I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, and none would despise me. 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 adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awaken love, until it please. 022 SOL 008 005 Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? Under the apple tree I awakened thee: there thy mother was in travail with thee, there was she in travail that brought thee forth. 022 SOL 008 006 Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the flashes thereof are flashes of fire, a very flame of the LORD. (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, he would utterly be contemned. 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 be a wall, we will build upon her a turret of silver: and if she be a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar. 022 SOL 008 010 I am a wall, and my breasts like the towers [thereof]: then was I in his eyes as one that found peace. 022 SOL 008 011 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand [pieces] of silver. 022 SOL 008 012 My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: thou, O Solomon, shalt have the thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred. 022 SOL 008 013 Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken for thy voice: cause me to hear it. 022 SOL 008 014 Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to 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 ass 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 evil-doers, children that deal corruptly: they have forsaken the LORD, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they are estranged [and gone] backward. 023 ISA 001 005 Why will ye be still stricken, that ye 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 unto the head there is no soundness in it;

I am weary to bear them. 023 ISA 001 015 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. 023 ISA 001 016 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine 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 be 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! she that was full of judgment! righteousness lodged in her, 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 gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them. 023 ISA 001 024 Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies: 023 ISA 001 025 and I will turn my hand upon thee, and throughly purge away thy dross, and will 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 But the destruction of the transgressors and 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 tow, and his work 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 latter days, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. 023 ISA 002 003 And many peoples 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 between the nations, and shall reprove many peoples: 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 For thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be filled [with customs] from the east, and [are] soothsayers like the Philistines, and they strike hands with the children of strangers. 023 ISA 002 007 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land also is 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 is bowed down, and the great man is brought low; therefore forgive them not. 023 ISA 002 010 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty. 023 ISA 002 011 The lofty looks of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. 023 ISA 002 012 For there shall be a day of the LORD of hosts upon all that is proud and haughty, and upon all that is lifted up; and it 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 lofty tower, and upon every fenced wall; 023 ISA 002 016 and upon all the ships of Tarshish; and upon all pleasant imagery. 023 ISA 002 017 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. 023 ISA 002 018 And the idols shall utterly pass away. 023 ISA 002 019 And men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth. 023 ISA 002 020 In that day a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made for him to worship, to the moles and to the bats; 023 ISA 002 021 to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth. 023 ISA 002 022 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of? 023 ISA 003 001 For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah stay and staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water; 023 ISA 003 002 the mighty man, and the man of war; the judge, and the prophet, and the diviner, and the ancient; 023 ISA 003 003 the captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the skilful enchanter. 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 ancient, and the base against the honourable. 023 ISA 003 006 When a man shall take hold of his brother in 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 lift up [his voice], saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: ye shall not make me 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 shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves. 023 ISA 003 010 Say ye of the righteous, that [it shall be] well [with him]: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. 023 ISA 003 011 Woe unto 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 which 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 peoples. 023 ISA 003 014 The LORD will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and the princes thereof: It is ye that have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses: 023 ISA 003 015 what mean ye that ye crush my people, and grind the face of the poor? saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts. 023 ISA 003 016 Moreover the LORD said, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth 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 lay bare their secret parts. 023 ISA 003 018 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their anklets, and the cauls, and the crescents; 023 ISA 003 019 the pendants, and the bracelets, and the mufflers; 023 ISA 003 020 the headtires, and the ankle chains, and the sashes, and the perfume boxes, and the amulets; 023 ISA 003 021 the rings, and the nose jewels; 023 ISA 003 022 the festival robes, and the mantles, and the shawls, and the satchels; 023 ISA 003 023 the hand 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 spices there shall be rottenness; and instead of a girdle a rope; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth: branding 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 shall be desolate and sit upon the ground. 023 ISA 004 001 And seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saving, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name; take thou 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 land shall be excellent and comely for them that are 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 thereof, by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. 023 ISA 004 005 And the LORD will create over the whole habitation of mount Zion, and over her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for over all the glory [shall be spread] a canopy. 023 ISA 004 006 And there shall be a pavilion for a shadow in the day-time from the heat, and for a refuge and for a covert from storm and from rain. 023 ISA 005 001 Let me sing for my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved had a vineyard in a very fruitful hill: 023 ISA 005 002 and he made a trench about it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also hewed out a winepress therein: and he looked 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, betwixt me and my vineyard. 023 ISA 005 004 What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes? 023 ISA 005 005 And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; I will break down the fence thereof, and it shall be trodden down: 023 ISA 005 006 and I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned nor hoed; 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 unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no room, and ye be made to dwell alone in the midst of the land! 023 ISA 005 009 In mine ears [saith] the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant. 023 ISA 005 010 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield [but] an ephah. 023 ISA 005 011 Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that tarry late into the night, till wine inflame them! 023 ISA 005 012 And the harp and the lute, the tabret and the pipe, and wine, are [in] their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither have they considered the operation of his hands. 023 ISA 005 013 Therefore my people are gone into captivity, for lack of knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude are parched with thirst. 023 ISA 005 014 Therefore hell hath enlarged her desire, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth among them, descend [into it]. (Sheol h7585) 023 ISA 005 015 And the mean man is bowed down, and the great man is humbled, and the eyes of the lofty are humbled: 023 ISA 005 016 but the LORD of hosts is exalted in judgment, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness. 023 ISA 005 017 Then shall the lambs feed as in their pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall wanderers eat. 023 ISA 005 018 Woe unto 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, let him hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it! 023 ISA 005 020 Woe unto 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 unto them that are wise their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! 023 ISA 005 022 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: 023 ISA 005 023 which justify the wicked for a reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! 023 ISA 005 024 Therefore as the tongue of fire devoureth the stubble, and as the dry grass sinketh down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have rejected 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 did tremble, and their carcases were as refuse 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 far, and will hiss for 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 girdle 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 carry it away safe, and there shall be none to deliver. 023 ISA 005 030 And they shall roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness [and] distress, and the light is darkened in the clouds thereof. 023 ISA 006 001 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 023 ISA 006 002 Above him stood the seraphim: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 023 ISA 006 003 And one cried unto 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 foundations of the thresholds were 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 mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. 023 ISA 006 006 Then flew one of the seraphim unto 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 touched my mouth with it, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 023 ISA 006 008 And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, 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 turn again, and be healed. 023 ISA 006 011 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until cities be waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land become utterly waste, 023 ISA 006 012 and the LORD have removed men far away, and the forsaken places be many in the midst of the land. 023 ISA 006 013 And if there be yet a tenth in it, it shall again be eaten up: as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remaineth, when they are felled; so the holy seed is the stock thereof. 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 to 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 unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-jashub 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 unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither let thine heart be faint, because of these two tails of smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah. 023 ISA 007 005 Because Syria hath counselled evil against thee, Ephraim [also], and the son of Remaliah, saying, 023 ISA 007 006 Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set up a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeel: 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 threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken in pieces, 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 And the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying, 023 ISA 007 011 Ask thee a sign of 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, that ye will weary my God also? 023 ISA 007 014 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. 023 ISA 007 015 Butter and honey shall he eat, when he knoweth 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 whose two kings thou abhorrest shall be forsaken. 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 holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all pastures. 023 ISA 007 020 In that day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, [which is] in the parts beyond the River, [even] with 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 midst of the land. 023 ISA 007 023 And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, shall even be for briers and thorns. 023 ISA 007 024 With arrows and with bow shall one come thither; because all the land shall be briers and thorns. 023 ISA 007 025 And all the hills that were digged with the mattock; thou shalt not come thither for fear of briers and thorns, but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of sheep. 023 ISA 008 001 And the LORD said unto me, Take thee a great tablet, and write upon it with the pen of a man, For Maher-shalal-hash-baz; 023 ISA 008 002 and I will take unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah. 023 ISA 008 003 And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD unto me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz. 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 carried away before the king of Assyria. 023 ISA 008 005 And the LORD spake unto me yet again, saying, 023 ISA 008 006 Forasmuch as this people hath refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, 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 his channels, and go over all his banks: 023 ISA 008 008 and he shall sweep onward into Judah; he shall overflow and pass through; he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel. 023 ISA 008 009 Make an uproar; O ye peoples, 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 be brought to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us. 023 ISA 008 011 For the LORD spake 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 conspiracy, concerning all whereof this people shall say, A conspiracy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be in dread [thereof]. 023 ISA 008 013 The LORD of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; 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 gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 023 ISA 008 015 And many shall stumble thereon, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. 023 ISA 008 016 Bind thou up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. 023 ISA 008 017 And I will wait for 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, which dwelleth in mount Zion. 023 ISA 008 019 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits and unto the wizards, that chirp and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? on behalf of the living [should they seek] unto the dead? 023 ISA 008 020 To the law and to the testimony! if they speak not according to this word, surely there is no morning for them. 023 ISA 008 021 And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass that, when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse by their king and by their God, and turn their faces upward. 023 ISA 008 022 and they shall look unto the earth, and behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish; and into thick darkness [they shall be] driven away. 023 ISA 009 001 But there shall be no gloom to her that was in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time hath he made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the nations. 023 ISA 009 002 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. 023 ISA 009 003 Thou hast multiplied the nation, thou hast increased their joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. 023 ISA 009 004 For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, thou hast broken as in the day of Midian. 023 ISA 009 005 For all the armour of the armed man in the tumult, and the garments rolled in blood, shall even be for burning, for fuel of fire. 023 ISA 009 006 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 023 ISA 009 007 Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with judgment and with righteousness from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts shall 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 pride and in stoutness of heart, 023 ISA 009 010 The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stone: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars. 023 ISA 009 011 Therefore the LORD shall set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and shall stir up his enemies; 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 Yet the people hath not turned unto him that smote them, neither have they sought the LORD of hosts. 023 ISA 009 014 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm-branch and rush, in one day. 023 ISA 009 015 The ancient and the honourable man, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail. 023 ISA 009 016 For they that lead this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed. 023 ISA 009 017 Therefore the Lord shall not rejoice over their young men, neither shall he have compassion on their fatherless and widows: for every one is profane and an evil-doer, 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 devoureth the briers and thorns: yea, it kindleth in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in thick clouds of smoke. 023 ISA 009 019 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land burnt up: the people also are as the fuel of fire; no man spareth his brother. 023 ISA 009 020 And one 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 unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers that write perverseness: 023 ISA 010 002 to turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right of the poor of my people, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey! 023 ISA 010 003 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, 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 They shall only bow down under the prisoners, and 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 Ho Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, the staff in whose hand is mine indignation! 023 ISA 010 006 I will send him against a profane nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. 023 ISA 010 007 Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few. 023 ISA 010 008 For he saith, Are not my princes all of them 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, whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria; 023 ISA 010 011 shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols? 023 ISA 010 012 Wherefore 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 hath said, 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 peoples, and have robbed their treasures, and I have brought down as a valiant man them that sit [on thrones]: 023 ISA 010 014 and my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the peoples; and as one gathereth eggs that are forsaken, have I gathered all the earth: and there was none that moved the wing, or that opened the mouth, or chirped. 023 ISA 010 015 Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if a rod should shake them that lift it up, or as if a staff should lift up [him that is] not wood. 023 ISA 010 016 Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory there shall be kindled a burning like the burning of 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 he shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and it shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth. 023 ISA 010 019 And the remnant 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 they that are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. 023 ISA 010 021 A remnant shall return, [even] the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. 023 ISA 010 022 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, [only] a remnant of them shall return: a consumption [is] determined, overflowing with righteousness. 023 ISA 010 023 For a consummation, and that determined, shall the Lord, the LORD of hosts, make in the midst of all the earth. 023 ISA 010 024 Therefore thus saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: though he smite thee with the rod, and 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 be accomplished, and mine anger, in their destruction. 023 ISA 010 026 And the LORD of hosts shall stir up against him a scourge, as in the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and his rod shall be over the sea, and he shall 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 depart 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 through Migron; at Michmash he layeth up his baggage: 023 ISA 010 029 they are gone over the pass; they have taken up their lodging at Geba: Ramah trembleth; Gibeah of Saul is fled. 023 ISA 010 030 Cry aloud with thy voice, O daughter of Gallim! hearken, O Laishah! O thou poor Anathoth! 023 ISA 010 031 Madmenah is a fugitive; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee. 023 ISA 010 032 This very day shall he halt at Nob: he shaketh his hand at 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 boughs with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the lofty shall be brought low. 023 ISA 010 034 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one. 023 ISA 011 001 And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots shall bear fruit: 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 his delight shall be 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 girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. 023 ISA 011 006 And the wolf 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 sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the basilisk’s den. 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 it shall come to pass in that day, that the root of Jesse, which standeth for an ensign of the peoples, unto him shall the nations seek; and his resting place 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 remain, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands 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 they that vex Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim. 023 ISA 011 014 And they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines on the west; together shall they spoil the children of the east: they shall put forth 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 scorching wind shall he shake his hand over the River, and shall smite it into seven streams, and cause men to march over dryshod. 023 ISA 011 016 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall remain, from Assyria; like as there was for Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt. 023 ISA 012 001 And in that day thou shalt say, I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD; for though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortest me. 023 ISA 012 002 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and song; and he 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, Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the peoples, make mention that his name is exalted. 023 ISA 012 005 Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: let this be 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 did see. 023 ISA 013 002 Set ye up an ensign upon the bare mountain, lift up the voice unto them, wave the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles. 023 ISA 013 003 I have commanded my consecrated ones, yea, I have called my mighty men for mine anger, even my proudly exulting ones. 023 ISA 013 004 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people! the noise of a tumult of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together! the LORD of hosts mustereth the host for the battle. 023 ISA 013 005 They come from a far country, from the uttermost part of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land. 023 ISA 013 006 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; as destruction from the Almighty shall it come. 023 ISA 013 007 Therefore shall all hands be feeble, and every heart of man shall melt: 023 ISA 013 008 and they shall be dismayed; pangs and sorrows shall take hold [of them]; they shall be in pain as a woman in travail: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces [shall be] faces of flame. 023 ISA 013 009 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it. 023 ISA 013 010 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof 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 arrogancy 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 pure gold of Ophir. 023 ISA 013 013 Therefore I will make the heavens to tremble, and the earth shall be shaken 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 come to pass, that as the chased roe, and as sheep that no man gathereth, they shall turn every man to his own people, and shall flee every man to his own land. 023 ISA 013 015 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is taken shall fall by the sword. 023 ISA 013 016 Their infants also shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished. 023 ISA 013 017 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver, and as for gold, they shall not delight in it. 023 ISA 013 018 And [their] bows shall dash the young men in 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 Chaldeans’ pride, 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 shepherds make their flocks to lie down there. 023 ISA 013 021 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and ostriches shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there. 023 ISA 013 022 And wolves shall cry in their castles, and jackals in the 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 compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the stranger shall join himself with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob. 023 ISA 014 002 And the peoples 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 for handmaids: and they shall take them captive, 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 trouble, and from the hard service wherein thou wast made to serve, 023 ISA 014 004 that thou shalt take up this parable 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, the sceptre of the rulers; 023 ISA 014 006 that smote the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, that ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that none restrained. 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 feller 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 answer and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? 023 ISA 014 011 Thy pomp is brought down to hell, [and] the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and worms cover thee. (Sheol h7585) 023 ISA 014 012 How art thou fallen from heaven, O day star, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst lay low the nations! 023 ISA 014 013 And thou saidst in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; and I will sit upon the mount of congregation, in the uttermost parts 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 uttermost parts of the pit. (Sheol h7585) 023 ISA 014 016 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, they shall consider thee, [saying], Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; 023 ISA 014 017 that made the world as a wilderness, and overthrew the cities thereof; that let not loose his prisoners to their home? 023 ISA 014 018 All the kings of the nations, all of them, sleep in glory, every one in his own house. 023 ISA 014 019 But thou art cast forth away from thy sepulchre like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain, that are thrust through with the sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under foot. 023 ISA 014 020 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, thou hast slain thy people; the seed of evil-doers shall not be named for ever. 023 ISA 014 021 Prepare ye slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they rise not up, and possess the earth, and fill the face of the world with cities. 023 ISA 014 022 And I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and son and son’s son, saith the LORD. 023 ISA 014 023 I will also make it a possession for the porcupine, 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 shoulder. 023 ISA 014 026 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations. 023 ISA 014 027 For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul 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, O Philistia, all of thee, because the rod that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent’s root shall come forth a basilisk, 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 thy remnant shall be slain. 023 ISA 014 031 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou art melted away, O Philistia, all of thee; for there cometh a smoke out of the north, and none standeth aloof at his appointed times. 023 ISA 014 032 What then shall one answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and in her shall the afflicted of his people take refuge. 023 ISA 015 001 The burden of Moab. For in a night Ar of Moab is laid waste, [and] brought to nought; for in a night Kir of Moab is laid waste, [and] brought to nought. 023 ISA 015 002 He is gone up to Bayith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep: Moab howleth over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads is baldness, every beard is cut off. 023 ISA 015 003 In their streets they gird themselves with sackcloth: on their housetops, and in their broad places, every one howleth, weeping abundantly. 023 ISA 015 004 And Heshbon crieth out, and Elealeh; their voice is heard even unto Jahaz: therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud; his soul trembleth within him. 023 ISA 015 005 My heart crieth out for Moab; her nobles [flee] unto Zoar, to Eglath-shelishiyah: for by the ascent of Luhith with weeping they go up; for in the way of Horonaim they raise up a cry of destruction. 023 ISA 015 006 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the grass is withered away, the tender grass faileth, there is no green thing. 023 ISA 015 007 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows. 023 ISA 015 008 For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim. 023 ISA 015 009 For the waters of Dimon are full of blood: for I will bring yet more upon Dimon, a lion upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land. 023 ISA 016 001 Send ye the lambs for the ruler of the land from Sela [which is] toward the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion. 023 ISA 016 002 For it shall be that, as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so shall the daughters of Moab be at the fords of Arnon. 023 ISA 016 003 Give counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday: hide the outcasts; bewray not the wanderer. 023 ISA 016 004 Let mine outcasts dwell with thee; as for Moab, be thou a covert to him from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is brought to nought, spoiling ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land. 023 ISA 016 005 And a throne shall be established in mercy, and one shall sit thereon in truth, in the tent of David; judging, and seeking judgment, and swift to do righteousness. 023 ISA 016 006 We have heard of the pride of Moab, [that] he is very proud; even of his arrogancy, and his pride, and his wrath; his boastings are nought. 023 ISA 016 007 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the raisin-cakes of Kir-hareseth shall ye mourn, utterly stricken. 023 ISA 016 008 For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah; the lords of the nations have broken down the choice plants thereof; they reached even unto Jazer, they wandered into the wilderness; her branches were spread abroad, they passed over the sea. 023 ISA 016 009 Therefore I will weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for upon thy summer fruits and upon thy harvest the [battle] shout is fallen. 023 ISA 016 010 And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither joyful noise: no treader shall tread out wine in the presses; I have made the [vintage] shout to cease. 023 ISA 016 011 Wherefore my bowels sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir-heres. 023 ISA 016 012 And it shall come to pass, when Moab presenteth himself, when he wearieth himself upon the high place, and shall come to his sanctuary to pray, that he shall not prevail. 023 ISA 016 013 This is the word that the LORD spake concerning Moab in time past. 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 brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and of no account. 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 it shall come to pass in that day, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean. 023 ISA 017 005 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the standing corn, and his arm reapeth the ears; yea, it shall be as when one gleaneth ears in the valley of Rephaim. 023 ISA 017 006 Yet there shall be left therein gleanings, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost branches of a fruitful tree, saith the LORD, the God of Israel. 023 ISA 017 007 In that day shall a man look unto 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 he have respect to that which his fingers have made, either the Asherim, or the sun-images. 023 ISA 017 009 In that day shall his strong cities be as the forsaken places in the wood and on the mountain top, which were forsaken from before the children of Israel: and it shall be a desolation. 023 ISA 017 010 For thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength; therefore thou plantest pleasant plants, and settest it with strange slips: 023 ISA 017 011 In the day of thy planting thou hedgest it in, and in the morning thou makest thy seed to blossom: but the harvest fleeth away in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow. 023 ISA 017 012 Ah, the uproar of many peoples, which roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations, that rush like the rushing of mighty waters! 023 ISA 017 013 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but he shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm. 023 ISA 017 014 At eventide behold terror; [and] before the morning they are not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us. 023 ISA 018 001 Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia: 023 ISA 018 002 that sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus upon the waters, [saying], Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people terrible from their beginning onward; a nation that meteth out and treadeth down, whose land the rivers divide! 023 ISA 018 003 All ye inhabitants of the world, and ye dwellers on the earth, when an ensign is lifted up on the mountains, see ye; and when the trumpet is blown, hear ye. 023 ISA 018 004 For thus hath the LORD said unto me, I will be still, and I will behold in my dwelling place; like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. 023 ISA 018 005 For afore the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the flower becometh a ripening grape, he shall cut off the sprigs with pruning-hooks, and the spreading branches shall he take away [and] cut down. 023 ISA 018 006 They shall be left together unto the ravenous birds of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the ravenous birds shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them. 023 ISA 018 007 In that time shall a present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people tall and smooth, and from a people terrible from their beginning onward; a nation that meteth out and treadeth down, whose land the rivers divide, 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 cometh unto 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 stir up 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 be made void in the midst of it; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek unto the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards. 023 ISA 019 004 And I will give over the Egyptians 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 river shall be wasted and become dry. 023 ISA 019 006 And the rivers shall stink; the streams of Egypt shall be minished and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither away. 023 ISA 019 007 The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all that is sown by the Nile, shall become dry, be driven away, and be no more. 023 ISA 019 008 The fishers also shall lament, and all they that cast angle into the Nile shall mourn, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish. 023 ISA 019 009 Moreover they that work in combed flax, and they that weave white cloth, shall be ashamed. 023 ISA 019 010 And her pillars shall be broken in pieces, all they that work for hire [shall be] grieved in soul. 023 ISA 019 011 The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish; the counsel of the wisest counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings? 023 ISA 019 012 Where then are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now; and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed concerning Egypt. 023 ISA 019 013 The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have caused Egypt to go astray, that are the corner stone of her tribes. 023 ISA 019 014 The LORD hath mingled a spirit of perverseness in the midst of her: and they have caused Egypt to go astray in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit. 023 ISA 019 015 Neither shall there be for Egypt any work, which head or tail, palm branch or rush, may do. 023 ISA 019 016 It In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall tremble 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 become a terror unto Egypt, every one to whom mention is made thereof shall be afraid, because of the purpose of the LORD of hosts, which he purposeth against it. 023 ISA 019 018 In that day there shall be five cities in the land of Egypt that 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 the border thereof to the LORD. 023 ISA 019 020 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a defender, 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; yea, they shall worship with sacrifice and oblation, and shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and shall perform it. 023 ISA 019 022 And the LORD shall smite Egypt, smiting and healing; and they shall return unto the LORD, and he shall be entreated of them, and shall heal them. 023 ISA 019 023 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and the Egyptians shall worship with the Assyrians. 023 ISA 019 024 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth: 023 ISA 019 025 for that the LORD of hosts hath blessed them, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance. 023 ISA 020 001 In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it; 023 ISA 020 002 at that time the LORD spake by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go, and loose sackcloth from off thy loins, and put thy shoe from off thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot. 023 ISA 020 003 And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia; 023 ISA 020 004 so shall the king of Assyria lead away the captives of Egypt, and the exiles of Ethiopia, young and old, naked and barefoot, and with buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt. 023 ISA 020 005 And they shall be dismayed and ashamed, because of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory. 023 ISA 020 006 And the inhabitant of this coastland shall say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, whither we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and we, how shall we escape? 023 ISA 021 001 The burden of the wilderness of the sea. As whirlwinds in the South sweep through, it cometh from the wilderness, from a terrible land. 023 ISA 021 002 A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam; besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease. 023 ISA 021 003 Therefore are my loins filled with anguish; pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman in travail: I am pained so that I cannot hear; I am dismayed so that I cannot see. 023 ISA 021 004 My heart panteth, horror hath affrighted me: the twilight that I desired hath been turned into trembling unto me. 023 ISA 021 005 They prepare the table, they set the watch, they eat, they drink: rise up, ye princes, anoint the shield. 023 ISA 021 006 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman; let him declare what he seeth: 023 ISA 021 007 and when he seeth a troop, horsemen in pairs, a troop of asses, a troop of camels, he shall hearken diligently with much heed. 023 ISA 021 008 And he cried as a lion: O Lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the day-time, and am set in my ward whole nights: 023 ISA 021 009 and, behold, here cometh a troop of men, horsemen in pairs. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods are broken unto the ground. 023 ISA 021 010 O thou my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard from the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you. 023 ISA 021 011 The burden of Dumah. One calleth unto 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 inquire, inquire ye: turn ye, come. 023 ISA 021 013 The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanites. 023 ISA 021 014 Unto him that was thirsty they brought water; the inhabitants of the land of Tema did meet the fugitives with their bread. 023 ISA 021 015 For they fled away 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 unto 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 residue of the number of the archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be few: for the LORD, the God of Israel, hath spoken it. 023 ISA 022 001 The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops? 023 ISA 022 002 O thou that art full of shoutings, a tumultuous city, a joyous town; thy slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle. 023 ISA 022 003 All thy rulers fled away together, they were bound by the archers: all that were found of thee were bound together, they fled afar off. 023 ISA 022 004 Therefore said I, Look away from me, I will weep bitterly; labour not to comfort me, for the spoiling of the daughter of my people. 023 ISA 022 005 For it is a day of discomfiture, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, the LORD of hosts, in the valley of vision; a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains. 023 ISA 022 006 And Elam bare the quiver, with chariots of men [and] horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield. 023 ISA 022 007 And it came to pass, that thy choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate. 023 ISA 022 008 And he took away the covering of Judah; and thou didst look in that day to the armour in the house of the forest. 023 ISA 022 009 And ye saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool. 023 ISA 022 010 and ye numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and ye brake down the houses to fortify the wall. 023 ISA 022 011 ye made also a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye looked not unto him that had done this, neither had ye respect unto him that fashioned it long ago. 023 ISA 022 012 And in that day did the Lord, the LORD 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 tomorrow we shall die. 023 ISA 022 014 And the LORD of hosts revealed himself in mine ears, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts. 023 ISA 022 015 Thus saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, [and say], 023 ISA 022 016 What doest thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out here a sepulchre? hewing him out a sepulchre on high, graving an habitation for himself in the rock! 023 ISA 022 017 Behold, the LORD will hurl thee away violently as a [strong] man; yea, he will wrap thee up closely. 023 ISA 022 018 He will surely turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country; there shalt thou die, and there shall be the chariots of thy glory, thou shame of thy lord’s house. 023 ISA 022 019 And I will thrust thee from thine office, and from thy station 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 girdle, 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; and 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 throne of glory 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, every small vessel, 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 was fastened in a sure place give way; and it shall be hewn 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. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Kittim 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 on great waters the seed of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue; and she was the mart of nations. 023 ISA 023 004 Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, the strong hold of the sea; saying, I have not travailed, nor brought forth, neither have I nourished young men, nor brought up virgins. 023 ISA 023 005 When the report cometh to Egypt, they shall be sorely pained at the report of Tyre. 023 ISA 023 006 Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle. 023 ISA 023 007 Is this your joyous [city], whose antiquity is of ancient days, whose feet carried her afar off to sojourn? 023 ISA 023 008 Who hath purposed this against Tyre, the crowning [city], whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth? 023 ISA 023 009 The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth. 023 ISA 023 010 Pass through thy land as the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no girdle [about thee] any more. 023 ISA 023 011 He hath stretched out his hand over the sea, he hath shaken the kingdoms: the LORD hath given commandment concerning Canaan, to destroy the strong holds thereof. 023 ISA 023 012 And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Kittim; even there shalt thou have no rest. 023 ISA 023 013 Behold, the land of the Chaldeans; this people is no more; the Assyrian hath appointed it for the beasts of the wilderness: they set up their towers, they overthrew the palaces thereof; he made it a ruin. 023 ISA 023 014 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strong hold 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 it shall be unto Tyre as in the song of the 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 return 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, to eat sufficiently, 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 the inhabitants thereof. 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 usury, so with the giver of usury to him. 023 ISA 024 003 The earth 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 lofty people of the earth do languish. 023 ISA 024 005 The earth also is polluted under the inhabitants thereof; 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 therein are found guilty: 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 come in. 023 ISA 024 011 There is a crying in the streets because of the wine; 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 For thus shall it be in the midst of the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive tree, as the grape gleanings when the vintage is done. 023 ISA 024 014 These shall lift up their voice, they shall shout; for the majesty of the LORD they cry aloud from the sea. 023 ISA 024 015 Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the east, even the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, in the isles of the sea. 023 ISA 024 016 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, glory to the righteous. But I said, I pine away, I pine away, woe is 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 on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth do shake. 023 ISA 024 019 The earth is utterly broken, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. 023 ISA 024 020 The earth shall stagger like a drunken man, and shall be moved to and fro like a hut; and the transgression thereof 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 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; for the LORD of hosts shall reign in 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, [even] counsels of old, in faithfulness [and] truth. 023 ISA 025 002 For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced 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 strong hold to the poor, a strong hold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall. 023 ISA 025 005 As the heat in a dry place shalt thou bring down the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shadow of a cloud, the song of the terrible ones shall be brought low. 023 ISA 025 006 And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. 023 ISA 025 007 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering that is cast over all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations. 023 ISA 025 008 He hath swallowed up death for ever; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the reproach of his people shall he take away from off 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 in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down in his place, even as straw is trodden down in the water of the dunghill. 023 ISA 025 011 And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst thereof, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth [his hands] to swim: and he shall lay low his pride together with the craft of his hands. 023 ISA 025 012 And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls hath he brought down, laid low, and brought 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 he appoint for walls and bulwarks. 023 ISA 026 002 Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth 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 an everlasting rock. 023 ISA 026 005 For he hath brought 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 that art up right dost direct the path of the just. 023 ISA 026 008 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; to thy name and to thy memorial is the desire of our soul. 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 learn righteousness. 023 ISA 026 010 Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD. 023 ISA 026 011 LORD, thy hand is lifted up, yet they see not: but they shall see [thy] zeal for the people, and be ashamed; yea, fire shall devour thine adversaries. 023 ISA 026 012 LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou hast also wrought all our works for 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 hast enlarged all the borders of the land. 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 Like 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 before thee, 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 in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen. 023 ISA 026 019 Thy dead shall live; my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust: for thy dew is [as] the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast forth the dead. 023 ISA 026 020 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. 023 ISA 026 021 For, behold, the LORD cometh forth 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 sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. 023 ISA 027 002 In that day: A vineyard of wine, sing ye unto it. 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: would that the briers and thorns were against me in battle! I would march upon them, I would burn them together. 023 ISA 027 005 Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; [yea], let him make peace with me. 023 ISA 027 006 In days to come shall Jacob take root; Israel shall blossom and bud: and they shall 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 were slain by him? 023 ISA 027 008 In measure, when thou sendest her away, thou dost contend with her; he hath removed [her] with his rough blast in the day of the east wind. 023 ISA 027 009 Therefore by this shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, [so that] the Asherim and the sun-images shall rise no more. 023 ISA 027 010 For the defenced city is solitary, an habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof. 023 ISA 027 011 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off; the women shall come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding; therefore he that made them will not have compassion upon them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour. 023 ISA 027 012 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off [his fruit], from the flood of the River unto the brook 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 a great trumpet shall be blown; and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and they that were outcasts in the land of Egypt; and they shall worship the LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem. 023 ISA 028 001 Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley of them that are overcome with wine! 023 ISA 028 002 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one; as a tempest of hail, a destroying storm, as a tempest of mighty waters overflowing, shall he cast down to the earth with the hand. 023 ISA 028 003 The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under foot: 023 ISA 028 004 and the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be as the firstripe fig 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, unto the residue 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 back the battle at the gate. 023 ISA 028 007 But these also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are gone astray; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are gone astray 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 will he teach knowledge? and whom will he make to understand the message? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts? 023 ISA 028 010 For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little. 023 ISA 028 011 Nay, but by [men of] strange lips and with another tongue will he speak to this people: 023 ISA 028 012 to whom he said, This is the rest, give ye rest to him that is weary; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. 023 ISA 028 013 Therefore shall the word of the LORD be unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. 023 ISA 028 014 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem: 023 ISA 028 015 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto 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] of sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. 023 ISA 028 017 And I will make judgment the line, and righteousness 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 disannulled, 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 As often as it passeth through, it shall take you; for morning by morning shall it pass through, by day and by night: and it shall be nought but terror to understand the message. 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 up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth 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 scorners, lest your bands be made strong: for a consummation, and that determined, have I heard from the Lord, the LORD of hosts, 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 continually to sow? doth he [continually] open and break the clods of his ground? 023 ISA 028 025 When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and put in the wheat in rows and the barley in the appointed place and the spelt in the border thereof? 023 ISA 028 026 For his God doth instruct him aright, [and] doth teach him. 023 ISA 028 027 For the fitches are not threshed with a sharp [threshing] instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod. 023 ISA 028 028 Bread [corn] is ground; for he will not ever be threshing it: and though the wheel of his cart and his horses scatter it, he doth not grind it. 023 ISA 028 029 This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom. 023 ISA 029 001 Ho Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! add ye year to year; let the feasts come round: 023 ISA 029 002 then will I distress Ariel, and there shall be mourning and lamentation: and she shall be unto me as Ariel. 023 ISA 029 003 And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a fort, and I will raise siege works 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 as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust. 023 ISA 029 005 But the multitude of thy foes shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly. 023 ISA 029 006 She shall be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of a 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, a vision of the night. 023 ISA 029 008 And it shall 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 Tarry ye and wonder, take your pleasure and be blind: they are drunken, 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 heads, the seers, hath he covered. 023 ISA 029 011 And all vision is become unto 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 And the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw nigh [unto me], and with their mouth and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which hath been taught [them]: 023 ISA 029 014 therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder: and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. 023 ISA 029 015 Woe unto 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 Ye turn things upside down! Shall the potter be counted as clay; that the thing made should say of him that made it, He made me not; or the thing framed say of him that framed it, He hath 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 counted for 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 scorner ceaseth, and all they that watch for iniquity are cut off: 023 ISA 029 021 that make a man an offender in a cause, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just with 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 wax pale. 023 ISA 029 023 But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name; yea, they shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall stand in awe of the God of Israel. 023 ISA 029 024 They also that err in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmur shall learn doctrine. 023 ISA 030 001 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of 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 are at Zoan, and his ambassadors are come to Hanes. 023 ISA 030 005 They shall all be ashamed of a people that cannot profit them, that are not an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach. 023 ISA 030 006 The burden of the beasts of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit [them]. 023 ISA 030 007 For Egypt helpeth in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I called her Rahab that sitteth still. 023 ISA 030 008 Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever. 023 ISA 030 009 For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD: 023 ISA 030 010 which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: 023 ISA 030 011 get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. 023 ISA 030 012 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon; 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 a potter’s vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing; so that there shall not be found among the pieces thereof a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the cistern. 023 ISA 030 015 For thus said 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 unto 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 surely be gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear, he will answer thee. 023 ISA 030 020 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be hidden any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers: 023 ISA 030 021 and thine 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 e turn to the left. 023 ISA 030 022 And ye shall defile the overlaying of thy graven images of silver, and the plating of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as an unclean thing; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence. 023 ISA 030 023 And he shall give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the ground, 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 asses that till the ground shall eat savoury provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan. 023 ISA 030 025 And there shall be upon every lofty 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 hurt 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 in thick rising smoke: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire: 023 ISA 030 028 and his breath is as an overflowing stream, that reacheth even unto the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and a bridle that causeth to err [shall be] in the jaws of the peoples. 023 ISA 030 029 Ye shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel. 023 ISA 030 030 And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of [his] anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, and tempest, and hailstones. 023 ISA 030 031 For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be broken in pieces, which smote with a rod. 023 ISA 030 032 And every stroke of the appointed staff, which the LORD shall lay upon him, shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with them. 023 ISA 030 033 For a Topheth is prepared of old; yea, for the king it is made ready; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof 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 stay on horses; and trust in chariots, because they are many, and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto 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 evil-doers, 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: and when the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall stumble, and he that is holpen shall fall, and they all shall fail together. 023 ISA 031 004 For thus saith the LORD unto me, Like as when the lion growleth and the young lion over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds be called forth against him, he will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight upon mount Zion, and upon the hill thereof. 023 ISA 031 005 As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts protect Jerusalem; he will protect and deliver [it], he will pass over and preserve [it]. 023 ISA 031 006 Turn ye unto him from whom ye have deeply revolted, O children of Israel. 023 ISA 031 007 For in that day they shall cast away every man his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin. 023 ISA 031 008 Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of men, shall devour him: and he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become tributary. 023 ISA 031 009 And his rock shall pass away by reason of terror, and his princes shall be dismayed at 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 rivers 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 liberal, 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 profaneness, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to 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 meek with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right. 023 ISA 032 008 But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and in liberal things shall he continue. 023 ISA 032 009 Rise up, ye women that are at ease, [and] hear my voice; ye careless daughters, give ear unto my speech. 023 ISA 032 010 For days beyond a year shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the ingathering shall not come. 023 ISA 032 011 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird [sackcloth] upon your loins. 023 ISA 032 012 They shall smite upon 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; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city: 023 ISA 032 014 For the palace shall be forsaken; the populous city shall be deserted; the hill and the watch-tower shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks; 023 ISA 032 015 until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness become a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest. 023 ISA 032 016 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness shall abide in the fruitful field. 023 ISA 032 017 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and confidence for ever. 023 ISA 032 018 And my people shall abide in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places. 023 ISA 032 019 But it shall hail, in the downfall of the forest; and the city shall be utterly laid low. 023 ISA 032 020 Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth the feet of the ox and the ass. 023 ISA 033 001 Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! When thou hast ceased to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou hast made an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee. 023 ISA 033 002 O LORD, be gracious unto 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 peoples are fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations are scattered. 023 ISA 033 004 And your spoil shall be gathered as the caterpiller gathereth: as locusts leap shall they leap upon it. 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 there shall be stability in thy times, abundance of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of the LORD is his treasure. 023 ISA 033 007 Behold, their valiant ones cry without: the ambassadors of peace 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 not man. 023 ISA 033 009 The land mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and withereth away: Sharon is like a desert; and Bashan and Carmel shake off [their leaves]. 023 ISA 033 010 How will I arise, saith the LORD; now will I lift up myself; now will I be exalted. 023 ISA 033 011 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath is a fire that shall devour you. 023 ISA 033 012 And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire. 023 ISA 033 013 Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might. 023 ISA 033 014 The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling hath surprised the godless ones. 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 shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from looking upon evil; 023 ISA 033 016 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: his bread shall be given [him]; his waters shall be sure. 023 ISA 033 017 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold a far stretching land. 023 ISA 033 018 Thine heart shall muse on the terror: where is he that counted, where is he that weighed [the tribute]? where is he that counted the towers? 023 ISA 033 019 Thou shalt not see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that thou canst not perceive; of a strange tongue that thou canst not understand. 023 ISA 033 020 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be plucked up, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken. 023 ISA 033 021 But there the LORD will be with us in majesty, a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby. 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 strengthen the foot of their mast, they could not spread the sail: then was the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame took the prey. 023 ISA 033 024 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity. 023 ISA 034 001 Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye peoples: let the earth hear, and the fulness thereof; the world, and all things that come forth of it 023 ISA 034 002 For the LORD hath indignation against all the nations, and fury against all their host: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter. 023 ISA 034 003 Their slain also shall be cast out, and the stink of their carcases shall come up, 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 host shall fade away, as the leaf fadeth from off the vine, and as a fading [leaf] from the fig tree. 023 ISA 034 005 For my sword hath drunk its fill 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, 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 wild-oxen shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be drunken with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness. 023 ISA 034 008 For it is the day of the LORD’S vengeance, the year of recompence in the controversy of Zion. 023 ISA 034 009 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch. 023 ISA 034 010 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up 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 pelican and the porcupine shall possess it; and the owl and the raven shall dwell therein: and he shall stretch over it the line of confusion, and the plummet of emptiness. 023 ISA 034 012 They shall call the nobles thereof 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 thistles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of jackals, a court for ostriches. 023 ISA 034 014 And the wild beasts of the desert shall meet with the wolves, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; yea, the night-monster shall settle there, and shall find her a place of rest. 023 ISA 034 015 There shall the arrowsnake make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: yea, there shall the kites 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 be missing, none shall want 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 unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein. 023 ISA 035 001 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad; 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 unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon: they shall see the glory of the LORD, 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, [with] the recompence of God; 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 glowing sand shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water: in the habitation of jackals, where they 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, yea fools, shall not err [therein]. 023 ISA 035 009 No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast go up thereon, they 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 with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy, 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 fenced cities of Judah and took them. 023 ISA 036 002 And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto 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 unto him Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder. 023 ISA 036 004 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, what confidence is this wherein thou trustest? 023 ISA 036 005 I say, [thy] counsel and strength for the war are but vain words: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou hast rebelled against me? 023 ISA 036 006 Behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust on him. 023 ISA 036 007 But if thou say unto 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 to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar? 023 ISA 036 008 Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them. 023 ISA 036 009 How then canst 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 unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it. 023 ISA 036 011 Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto 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, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water 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 given into the hand of the king of Assyria. 023 ISA 036 016 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make your peace with me, 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 laud like your own land, a land of corn 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 Arpad? 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 countries, that have delivered their country 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 rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh. 023 ISA 037 001 And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent 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, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz. 023 ISA 037 003 And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of contumely: 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 rebuke the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore 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 unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king Assyria have blasphemed me. 023 ISA 037 007 Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he shall hear a rumour, and shall return unto 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 was departed from Lachish. 023 ISA 037 009 And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is come out to fight against 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, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Telassar? 023 ISA 037 013 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah? 023 ISA 037 014 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD. 023 ISA 037 015 And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD, saying, 023 ISA 037 016 O LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, that sittest upon 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 thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open thine eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent to reproach the living God. 023 ISA 037 018 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the countries, and their land, 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 unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Whereas 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 daughter of Zion hath despised thee and laughed thee to scorn; 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 up thine 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, With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into his farthest height, the forest of his fruitful field. 023 ISA 037 025 I have digged and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet will I dry up all the rivers of Egypt. 023 ISA 037 026 Hast thou not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced 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 a field [of corn] before it be grown up. 023 ISA 037 028 But I know thy sitting down, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against me. 023 ISA 037 029 Because of thy raging against me, and for that thine arrogancy is come up into mine ears, therefore will I 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 the sign unto thee: ye shall eat this year that which groweth of itself, 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 fruit thereof. 023 ISA 037 031 And the remnant that is 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 out of mount Zion they that shall escape: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall perform this. 023 ISA 037 033 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come unto this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast a mount against it. 023 ISA 037 034 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come unto this city, saith the LORD. 023 ISA 037 035 For I will defend this city to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake. 023 ISA 037 036 And the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when men arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses. 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 Ararat. And Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead. 023 ISA 038 001 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. 023 ISA 038 002 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto 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 sore. 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 unto thy days fifteen years. 023 ISA 038 006 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city. 023 ISA 038 007 And this shall he the sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken: 023 ISA 038 008 behold, I will cause the shadow on the steps, which is gone down on the dial of Ahaz with the sun, to return backward ten steps. So the sun returned ten steps on the dial whereon it was gone down. 023 ISA 038 009 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness. 023 ISA 038 010 I said, In the noontide of my days I shall go into the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue 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 Mine age is removed, and is carried away from me as a shepherd’s tent: I have rolled up like a weaver my life; he will cut me off from the loom: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me. 023 ISA 038 013 I quieted [myself] until morning; as a lion, so he breaketh all my bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me. 023 ISA 038 014 Like a swallow [or] a crane, so did I chatter; I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail [with looking] upward; O LORD, I am oppressed, be thou my surety. 023 ISA 038 015 What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul. 023 ISA 038 016 O Lord, by these things men live, and wholly therein is the life of my spirit: wherefore recover thou me, and make me to live. 023 ISA 038 017 Behold, [it was] for [my] peace [that] 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 cannot 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 is [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 Now Isaiah had said, Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a plaister 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 Merodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he heard that he had been sick, and was recovered. 023 ISA 039 002 And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not. 023 ISA 039 003 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country unto me, even from Babylon. 023 ISA 039 004 Then said he, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed 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 thine 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 unto 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 comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned; that she hath received of the LORD’S hand double for all her sins. 023 ISA 040 003 The voice of one that crieth, Prepare ye in the wilderness 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 shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. 023 ISA 040 006 The voice of one saying, Cry. And one said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: 023 ISA 040 007 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; because the breath 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 thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, get thee up into the high mountain: O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold, your God! 023 ISA 040 010 Behold, the Lord GOD will come as a mighty one, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his recompence before him. 023 ISA 040 011 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd, he shall gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom, [and] shall gently lead those that give suck. 023 ISA 040 012 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out 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 shewed 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 the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering. 023 ISA 040 017 All the nations are as nothing before him; 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 unto him? 023 ISA 040 019 The graven image, a workman melted [it], and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth [for it] silver chains. 023 ISA 040 020 He that is too impoverished for [such] an oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to set up 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 the inhabitants thereof 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 princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity. 023 ISA 040 024 Yea, they have not been planted; yea, they have not been sown; yea, their stock hath not taken root in the earth: moreover he bloweth upon them, and they wither, and the whirlwind taketh them away as stubble. 023 ISA 040 025 To whom then will ye liken me, that I should be equal [to him]? saith the Holy One. 023 ISA 040 026 Lift up your eyes on high, and see who hath created these, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by name; by the greatness of his might, and for that he is strong in power, not one is lacking. 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 away from my God? 023 ISA 040 028 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard? 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 him that hath 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 islands; and let the peoples renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment. 023 ISA 041 002 Who hath raised up one from the east, whom he calleth in righteousness to his foot? he giveth nations before him, and maketh him rule over kings; he giveth them as the dust to his sword, as the driven stubble to his bow. 023 ISA 041 003 He pursueth them, and passeth on safely; even by a 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, and feared; the ends of the earth trembled: they 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 smiteth the anvil, saying of the soldering, It is good: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved. 023 ISA 041 008 But thou, Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend; 023 ISA 041 009 thou whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the corners thereof, and said unto 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 are incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they that strive with thee shall be as nothing, and shall perish. 023 ISA 041 012 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contend 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 unto 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 is 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, thou shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel. 023 ISA 041 017 The poor and needy seek water and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst; I the LORD will answer them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them. 023 ISA 041 018 I will open rivers on the bare heights, 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 acacia 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 declare unto us what shall happen: declare ye the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or shew us things for to come. 023 ISA 041 023 Declare the things that are to come hereafter, 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 is come; from the rising of the sun one that calleth upon my name: and he shall come upon rulers as upon mortar, and as the potter treadeth clay. 023 ISA 041 026 Who hath declared it from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, [He is] righteous? yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that heareth your words. 023 ISA 041 027 [I] first [will say] unto Zion, Behold, behold them; and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings. 023 ISA 041 028 And when I look, there is no man; even among them there is no counsellor, that, when I ask of them, can answer a word. 023 ISA 041 029 Behold, all of them, their works are vanity [and] nought: their molten images are wind and confusion. 023 ISA 042 001 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen, 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 in truth. 023 ISA 042 004 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have 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 forth; he that spread abroad the earth and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: 023 ISA 042 006 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine 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 dungeon, 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 unto graven images. 023 ISA 042 009 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. 023 ISA 042 010 Sing unto 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 therein, the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. 023 ISA 042 011 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up [their voice], the villages that Kedar doth inhabit; let the inhabitants of Sela sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains. 023 ISA 042 012 Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands. 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, he shall shout aloud; he shall do mightily against his enemies. 023 ISA 042 014 I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: [now] will I cry out like a travailing woman; I will gasp and pant together. 023 ISA 042 015 I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools. 023 ISA 042 016 And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not; in paths that they know not will I lead them: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things will I do, and I will not forsake them. 023 ISA 042 017 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say unto 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 send? who is blind as he that is at peace [with me], and blind as the LORD’S servant? 023 ISA 042 020 Thou seest many things, but thou observest not; his ears are open, but he heareth not. 023 ISA 042 021 It pleased the LORD, for his righteousness’ sake, to magnify the law, and make it honourable. 023 ISA 042 022 But this is a people robbed and spoiled; 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 is there among you that will give ear to this? that 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, and in whose ways they would not walk, neither were they obedient unto his law. 023 ISA 042 025 Therefore he poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle; and it set him on fire round about, 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 have given Egypt as thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. 023 ISA 043 004 Since thou hast been precious in my sight, [and] honourable, and I have loved thee; therefore will I give men for thee, and peoples 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 end of the earth; 023 ISA 043 007 every one that is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory; I have formed him; yea, 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 peoples be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring 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 beside me there is no saviour. 023 ISA 043 012 I have declared, and I have saved, and I have shewed, and there was no strange [god] among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and I am God. 023 ISA 043 013 Yea, since the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let 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 I will bring down all of them as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their rejoicing. 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, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; 023 ISA 043 017 which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched as flax: 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 shall it 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 beasts of the field shall honour me, the jackals and the ostriches: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen: 023 ISA 043 021 the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise. 023 ISA 043 022 Yet 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 made thee to serve with offerings, nor wearied thee with frankincense. 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 made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities. 023 ISA 043 025 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake; and I will not remember thy sins. 023 ISA 043 026 Put me in remembrance; let us plead together: set thou forth [thy cause], that thou mayest be justified. 023 ISA 043 027 Thy first father sinned, and thine interpreters have transgressed against me. 023 ISA 043 028 Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary, and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel a reviling. 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, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen. 023 ISA 044 003 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and streams upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring: 023 ISA 044 004 and they shall spring up among the grass, as willows by the watercourses. 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 subscribe with his hand unto 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 beside 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 that shall come to pass, let them declare. 023 ISA 044 008 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have I not declared unto thee of old, and shewed it? and ye are my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no Rock; I know not any. 023 ISA 044 009 They that fashion a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit: and their own witnesses see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed. 023 ISA 044 010 Who hath fashioned a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing? 023 ISA 044 011 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed; and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; they shall fear, they shall be ashamed together. 023 ISA 044 012 The smith [maketh] an axe, and worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with his strong arm: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth; he drinketh no water, and is faint. 023 ISA 044 013 The carpenter stretcheth out a line; he marketh it out with a pencil; he shapeth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compasses, and shapeth it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man, to dwell in the house. 023 ISA 044 014 He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the holm tree and the oak, and strengtheneth for himself one among the trees of the forest: he planteth a fir tree, and the rain doth nourish it. 023 ISA 044 015 Then shall it be for a man to burn; and he taketh thereof, and warmeth himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread: yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto. 023 ISA 044 016 He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire: 023 ISA 044 017 And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it and worshippeth, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god. 023 ISA 044 018 They know not, neither do they consider: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand. 023 ISA 044 019 And none calleth to mind, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof 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 things, O Jacob; and Israel, for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me. 023 ISA 044 022 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto 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 therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and will glorify 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; who is with me? 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 of Jerusalem, She shall be inhabited; and of the cities of Judah, They shall be built, and I will raise up the waste places thereof: 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 shall perform all my pleasure: even saying of Jerusalem, She shall 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 holden, to subdue nations before him, and I will loose the loins of kings; to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut; 023 ISA 045 002 I will go before thee, and make the rugged places plain: I will break in pieces the doors of brass, and cut in sunder 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 am the LORD, which call thee by thy name, even the God of Israel. 023 ISA 045 004 For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel my chosen, I have 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; beside me there is no God: I will gird 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 beside 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 am the LORD, that doeth all these things. 023 ISA 045 008 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, that they may bring forth salvation, and let her cause righteousness to spring up together; I the LORD have created it. 023 ISA 045 009 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! a potsherd among 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 unto him that saith unto a father, What begettest thou? or to a woman, with what travailest thou? 023 ISA 045 011 Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: Ask me of the things that are 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 make straight all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts. 023 ISA 045 014 Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine; they shall go after thee; in chains they shall come over: and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto 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, yea, confounded, all of them: they shall go into confusion together that are makers of idols. 023 ISA 045 017 [But] Israel shall be saved by 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; he is God; that formed the earth and made it; he established it, he created it not a waste, 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 place of the land of darkness; I said not unto 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 are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that carry the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save. 023 ISA 045 021 Declare ye, and bring [it] forth; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath shewed this from ancient time? who hath declared it of old? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a saviour; there is none beside me. 023 ISA 045 022 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. 023 ISA 045 023 By myself have I sworn, the word is gone forth from my mouth [in] righteousness, and shall not return, that unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. 023 ISA 045 024 Only in the LORD, shall one say unto me, is righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come, and all they that were 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 are upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: the things that ye carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary [beast]. 023 ISA 046 002 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity. 023 ISA 046 003 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which have been borne [by me] from the belly, which have been carried from the womb: 023 ISA 046 004 and even to old age I am he, and even to hoar hairs will I carry [you]: I have made, and I will bear; yea, I will carry, and will deliver. 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 Such as lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, they 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 remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble. 023 ISA 046 008 Remember this, and shew 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 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 of my counsel from a far country; yea, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed, I will also do it. 023 ISA 046 012 Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, 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 tarry; 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 without a 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: remove thy veil, strip off the train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers. 023 ISA 047 003 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and will accept no man. 023 ISA 047 004 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 wroth with my people, I profaned mine inheritance, and gave them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the aged 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 the latter end thereof. 023 ISA 047 008 Now therefore hear this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and there is none else beside 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: in their full measure shall they come upon thee, despite of the multitude of thy sorceries, and the great abundance of thine 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 thine heart, I am, and there is none else beside me. 023 ISA 047 011 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know the dawning thereof: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it away: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou knowest not. 023 ISA 047 012 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be 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 the 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: it shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before. 023 ISA 047 015 Thus shall the things be unto thee wherein thou hast laboured: they that have trafficked with thee from thy youth shall wander every one to his quarter; there shall be none to save thee. 023 ISA 048 001 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah; which 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 of old; yea, they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them: suddenly I did them, 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 therefore I have declared it to thee from of old; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them. 023 ISA 048 006 Thou hast heard it; behold all this; and ye, will ye not declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, which thou hast not known. 023 ISA 048 007 They are created now, and not from of old; and before this day 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 of old thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou didst deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb. 023 ISA 048 009 For my name’s sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off. 023 ISA 048 010 Behold, I have refined thee, but not as silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. 023 ISA 048 011 For mine own sake, for mine own sake, will I do it; for how should [my name] be profaned? and my glory will I not give to another. 023 ISA 048 012 Hearken unto me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he; I am the first, I also am the last. 023 ISA 048 013 Yea, mine hand hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spread out the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together. 023 ISA 048 014 Assemble yourselves, all ye, and hear; which among them hath declared these things? The LORD hath loved him: he shall perform 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 unto me, hear ye this; from the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD hath sent me, and his spirit. 023 ISA 048 017 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the LORD thy God, which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. 023 ISA 048 018 Oh 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 bowels like the grains thereof: his name should not be cut off nor destroyed from before me. 023 ISA 048 020 Go ye forth of 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 clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out. 023 ISA 048 022 There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked. 023 ISA 049 001 Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye peoples, from far: the LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels 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 he hath made me a polished shaft, in his quiver hath he kept me close: 023 ISA 049 003 and he said unto me, Thou art my servant; Israel, in whom I will be glorified. 023 ISA 049 004 But I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought and vanity: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my recompence 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, and that Israel be gathered unto him: (for I am honourable in the eyes of the LORD, and my God is become my strength: ) 023 ISA 049 006 yea, he saith, It is too light a 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 unto 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, and they shall worship; because of the LORD that is faithful, [even] the Holy One of Israel, who hath chosen thee. 023 ISA 049 008 Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I answered 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 raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritages; 023 ISA 049 009 saying to them that are bound, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and on all bare heights shall be their pasture. 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 Lo, 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 compassion upon his afflicted. 023 ISA 049 014 But Zion said, Jehovah hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten me. 023 ISA 049 015 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, these may forget, yet will not I 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 make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee. 023 ISA 049 018 Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I l live, saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all as with an ornament, and gird thyself with them, like a bride. 023 ISA 049 019 For, as for thy waste and thy desolate places and thy land that hath been destroyed, surely now shalt thou be too strait for the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away. 023 ISA 049 020 The children of thy bereavement shall yet say in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell. 023 ISA 049 021 Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where were they? 023 ISA 049 022 Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the nations, and set up my ensign to the peoples: and they shall bring thy sons in their bosom, and thy daughters shall he carried upon their shoulders. 023 ISA 049 023 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and they that wait for me shall not be ashamed. 023 ISA 049 024 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captives be 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 drunken 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, wherewith I have put her away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities were ye sold, and for your transgressions was your mother put away. 023 ISA 050 002 Wherefore, 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 them that are taught, that I should know how to sustain with words him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as they that are taught. 023 ISA 050 005 The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away 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 have I not been 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 up together: who is mine 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? behold, they all shall wax 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? he that walketh in darkness, and hath no light, let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God. 023 ISA 050 011 Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that gird yourselves about with firebrands: walk ye in the flame of your fire, and among the brands that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine 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 unto the rock whence ye were hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye were digged. 023 ISA 051 002 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many. 023 ISA 051 003 For the LORD hath comforted Zion: he hath comforted all her waste places, and hath made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. 023 ISA 051 004 Attend unto me, O my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall go forth from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the peoples. 023 ISA 051 005 My righteousness is near, my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the peoples; the isles shall wait for me, and on mine 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 wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished. 023 ISA 051 007 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye dismayed at their revilings. 023 ISA 051 008 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation unto all generations. 023 ISA 051 009 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Art thou not it that cut Rahab in pieces, that pierced the dragon? 023 ISA 051 010 Art thou not it which dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; that made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over? 023 ISA 051 011 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy, [and] sorrow and sighing shall flee away. 023 ISA 051 012 I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou art afraid of man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass; 023 ISA 051 013 and hast forgotten the LORD thy Maker, that stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fearest continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he maketh ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor? 023 ISA 051 014 The captive exile shall speedily be loosed; and he shall not die [and go down] into the pit, neither shall his bread fail. 023 ISA 051 015 For I am the LORD thy God, which stirreth up the sea, that the waves thereof roar: 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 mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto 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 drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it. 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 are befallen thee; who shall bemoan thee? desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword; how shall I comfort thee? 023 ISA 051 020 Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the top of all the streets, as an antelope 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 drunken, but not with wine: 023 ISA 051 022 Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again: 023 ISA 051 023 and I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy back as the ground, and as the street, to them that go 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, sit thee 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 were sold for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money. 023 ISA 052 004 For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there: and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. 023 ISA 052 005 Now therefore, what do I here, saith the LORD, seeing that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them do howl, saith the LORD, and my name continually all the 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 publisheth peace, that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! 023 ISA 052 008 The voice of thy watchmen! they lift up the voice, together do they sing; for they shall see, eye to eye, when the LORD returneth to 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 thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, ye that bear the vessels of the LORD. 023 ISA 052 012 For ye shall not go out in haste, neither shall ye go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rearward. 023 ISA 052 013 Behold, my servant shall deal wisely, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high. 023 ISA 052 014 Like as many were astonied 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; 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 understand. 023 ISA 053 001 Who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the LORD been revealed? 023 ISA 053 002 For he grew 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 see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 023 ISA 053 003 He was despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face 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 of God, and afflicted. 023 ISA 053 005 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of 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, yet he humbled himself and opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before her shearers is dumb; yea, he opened not his mouth. 023 ISA 053 008 By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who [among them] considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living? for the transgression of my people was he stricken. 023 ISA 053 009 And they made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his month. 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: and 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 poured out his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bare 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 stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations; spare not: lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes. 023 ISA 054 003 For thou shalt spread abroad on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall possess the nations, 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 the reproach of thy widowhood shalt thou remember no more. 023 ISA 054 005 For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is thy redeemer; the God of the whole earth shall he be called. 023 ISA 054 006 For the LORD hath called thee as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off, 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 overflowing 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 unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I would not be wroth 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 my covenant of 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 set thy stones in fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. 023 ISA 054 012 And I will make thy pinnacles of rubies, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy border of pleasant stones. 023 ISA 054 013 And all thy children shall be taught of 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 may gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall because of thee. 023 ISA 054 016 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the fire of coals, and bringeth forth a weapon 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 which is of 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 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto 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 unto 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 peoples, a leader and commander to the peoples. 023 ISA 055 005 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and a nation that knew not thee shall run unto 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 unto 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 thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, and giveth seed to the sower and bread to the eater; 023 ISA 055 011 so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto 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 righteousness: 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 holdeth fast by it; that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. 023 ISA 056 003 Neither let the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD will surely separate me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. 023 ISA 056 004 For thus saith the LORD of the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast by my covenant: 023 ISA 056 005 Unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a memorial 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 strangers, that join themselves to the LORD, to minister unto him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and holdeth fast by 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 mine altar: for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all peoples. 023 ISA 056 008 The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather [others] to him, beside his own that are gathered. 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 without knowledge; they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber. 023 ISA 056 011 Yea, the dogs are greedy, they can never have enough; and these are shepherds that cannot understand: they have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter. 023 ISA 056 012 Come ye, [say they], I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow shall be as this day, [a day] great beyond measure. 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 entereth into peace; they rest in their beds, each one that walketh in his uprightness. 023 ISA 057 003 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore. 023 ISA 057 004 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood, 023 ISA 057 005 ye that inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree; that slay the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks? 023 ISA 057 006 Among the smooth [stones] of the valley is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered an oblation. Shall I be appeased for these things? 023 ISA 057 007 Upon a high and lofty mountain hast thou set thy bed: thither also wentest thou up to offer sacrifice. 023 ISA 057 008 And behind the doors and the posts hast thou set up thy memorial: for thou hast discovered [thyself] to another than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them; thou lovedst 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 thine ambassadors far off, and didst debase thyself even unto hell. (Sheol h7585) 023 ISA 057 010 Thou wast wearied with the length of thy way; yet saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou didst find a quickening of thy strength; therefore thou wast not faint. 023 ISA 057 011 And of whom hast thou been afraid and in fear, that thou liest, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of long time, and fearest me not? 023 ISA 057 012 I will declare thy righteousness; and as for thy works, they shall not profit thee. 023 ISA 057 013 When thou criest, let them which thou hast gathered deliver thee; but the wind shall take them, a breath shall carry them all away: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain. 023 ISA 057 014 And he 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 wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made. 023 ISA 057 017 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth and smote him, I hid [my face] and was wroth: and he went on frowardly 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 unto 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; for it cannot rest, and its 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 declare unto my people their transgression, and to 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 righteous ordinances, they delight to draw near unto God. 023 ISA 058 003 Wherefore have we fasted, [say they], and thou seest not? [wherefore] have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find [your own] pleasure, and exact all your labours. 023 ISA 058 004 Behold, ye fast for strife and contention, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye fast not this day so as to make your voice to be heard on high. 023 ISA 058 005 Is such the fast that I have chosen? the day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head as a rush, 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 bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, 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 bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? 023 ISA 058 008 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy healing shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rearward. 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 take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking wickedly; 023 ISA 058 010 and if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in darkness, and thine obscurity be as the noonday: 023 ISA 058 011 and the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in dry places, and make strong 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 turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, [and] the holy of the LORD honourable; and shalt honour it, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking [thine own] words: 023 ISA 058 014 then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will make thee to ride upon the high places of the earth; and I will 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 muttereth wickedness. 023 ISA 059 004 None sueth in righteousness, and none pleadeth in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. 023 ISA 059 005 They hatch basilisks’ eggs, 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; desolation ard 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; whosoever goeth therein doth not know peace. 023 ISA 059 009 Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth righteousness overtake us: we look for light, but behold darkness; for brightness, but we walk in obscurity. 023 ISA 059 010 We grope for the wall like the blind, yea, we grope as they that have no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; among them that are lusty we are as dead men. 023 ISA 059 011 We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off 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 denying the LORD, and turning away from following 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 righteousness standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and uprightness cannot enter. 023 ISA 059 015 Yea, truth is lacking; 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 own arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it upheld him. 023 ISA 059 017 And he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on 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 islands 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: for he shall come as a rushing stream, which the breath of the LORD driveth. 023 ISA 059 020 And a redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD. 023 ISA 059 021 And 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, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. 023 ISA 060 003 And nations shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. 023 ISA 060 004 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: they all gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be carried in the arms. 023 ISA 060 005 Then thou shalt see and be lightened, and thine heart shall tremble and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned unto thee, the wealth of the nations shall come unto thee. 023 ISA 060 006 The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; they all shall come from Sheba: they shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall proclaim the praises of the LORD. 023 ISA 060 007 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory. 023 ISA 060 008 Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the 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, for the name of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee. 023 ISA 060 010 And strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee. 023 ISA 060 011 Thy gates also shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the wealth of the nations; and their kings led [with them]. 023 ISA 060 012 For that 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 unto thee, the fir tree, the pine, and the box tree together; to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious. 023 ISA 060 014 And the sons of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto 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 Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man passed through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations. 023 ISA 060 016 Thou shalt also suck the milk of the nations, 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 thine exactors righteousness. 023 ISA 060 018 Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, desolation 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 unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto 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 thine 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 The little one shall become a thousand, and the 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 unto 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 unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might 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 strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and aliens 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 wealth of the nations, 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 double: everlasting joy shall be unto them. 023 ISA 061 008 For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery with iniquity; and I will give them their recompence in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. 023 ISA 061 009 And their seed shall be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples: 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 a garland, 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 will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burneth. 023 ISA 062 002 And the nations 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 beauty 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 Hephzi-bah, 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; they shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that are the LORD’S remembrancers, take ye no rest, 023 ISA 062 007 and give him no rest, till he establish, and till he 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 corn to be meat for thine enemies; and strangers shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured: 023 ISA 062 009 but they that have garnered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary. 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 an ensign for the peoples. 023 ISA 062 011 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompence 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, marching in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. 023 ISA 063 002 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? 023 ISA 063 003 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yea, I trod them in mine anger, and trampled them in my fury; and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment. 023 ISA 063 004 For the day of vengeance was in mine 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 mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me. 023 ISA 063 006 And I trod down the peoples in mine anger, and made them drunk in my fury, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth. 023 ISA 063 007 I will make mention of 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 deal falsely: 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 bare them, and carried them all the days of old. 023 ISA 063 010 But they rebelled, and grieved his holy spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, [and] himself 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 up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? where is he that put his holy spirit in the midst of them? 023 ISA 063 012 that caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses? that divided the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name? 023 ISA 063 013 that led them through the depths, as an horse in the wilderness, that they stumbled not? 023 ISA 063 014 As the cattle that go down into the valley, the spirit of the LORD caused them 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 mighty acts? the yearning of thy bowels and thy compassions are restrained toward me. 023 ISA 063 016 For thou art our father, though Abraham knoweth us not, and Israel doth not acknowledge us: thou, O LORD, art our father; our redeemer from everlasting is thy name. 023 ISA 063 017 O LORD, why dost thou make us to err from thy ways, and hardenest our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants’ sake, the tribes of thine inheritance. 023 ISA 063 018 Thy holy people possessed [it] but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary. 023 ISA 063 019 We are become as they over whom thou never barest rule; as they that were not called by thy name. 023 ISA 064 001 Oh 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 fire kindleth the brushwood, [and] the fire causeth the waters to boil: to make thy name known to thine 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 from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen a God beside thee, which worketh 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 wast wroth, and we sinned: in them [have we been] of long time, and shall we be saved? 023 ISA 064 006 For we are all become as one that is unclean, and all our righteousnesses are as a polluted garment: and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take 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 by means 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 wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, look, we beseech thee, we are all thy people. 023 ISA 064 010 Thy holy cities are become a wilderness, Zion is become 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 refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore? 023 ISA 065 001 I AM inquired of by them that asked not [for me]; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name. 023 ISA 065 002 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts; 023 ISA 065 003 a people that provoketh me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense upon bricks; 023 ISA 065 004 which sit among the graves, and lodge in the secret places; which eat swine’s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels; 023 ISA 065 005 which 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, yea, I will recompense into their bosom, 023 ISA 065 007 your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I first measure their 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’ sakes, 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 chosen 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 herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me. 023 ISA 065 011 But ye that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for Fortune, and that fill up mingled wine unto Destiny; 023 ISA 065 012 I will destine you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but ye did that which was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein 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 howl for vexation of spirit. 023 ISA 065 015 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen, and the Lord GOD shall slay thee; and he shall call his servants by another name: 023 ISA 065 016 so 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 mine eyes. 023 ISA 065 017 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former things 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 thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old, and 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 shall be the days of my people, and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands. 023 ISA 065 023 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for calamity; 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 meat. 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: what manner of house will ye build unto me? and what place shall be my rest? 023 ISA 066 002 For all these things hath mine hand made, and so all these things came to be, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and that trembleth at my word. 023 ISA 066 003 He that killeth an ox is as he that slayeth a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as he that breaketh a dog’s neck; he that offereth an oblation, [as he that offereth] swine’s blood; he that burneth frankincense, as he that blesseth 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 spake, they did not hear: but they did that which was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delighted not. 023 ISA 066 005 Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word: Your brethren that hate you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, have said, Let the LORD be glorified, that we may see your joy; but they shall be ashamed. 023 ISA 066 006 A voice of tumult 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 man child. 023 ISA 066 008 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? shall a nation be brought forth 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 that cause to bring forth shut [the womb]? saith thy God. 023 ISA 066 010 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn over her: 023 ISA 066 011 that ye may suck and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, 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 nations like an overflowing stream, and ye shall suck [thereof]; ye shall be borne upon the side, and shall be dandled upon the 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 ye shall see [it], and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and he will have indignation against his enemies. 023 ISA 066 015 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and his chariots shall be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. 023 ISA 066 016 For by fire will the LORD plead, and by his sword, with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many. 023 ISA 066 017 They that sanctify themselves and purify themselves [to go] unto the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse; they shall come to an end together, saith the LORD. 023 ISA 066 018 For I [know] their works and their thoughts: [the time] cometh, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and shall see my glory. 023 ISA 066 019 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them unto 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 nations. 023 ISA 066 020 And they shall bring all your brethren out of all the nations for an offering unto the LORD, 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 their offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD. 023 ISA 066 021 And of them also will I take 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 carcases 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 abhorring unto 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, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah; unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month. 024 JER 001 004 Now the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 024 JER 001 005 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee; I have appointed thee a prophet unto 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 unto me, Say not, I am a child: for to whomsoever I shall send thee thou shalt go, and whatsoever I shall command thee thou shalt speak. 024 JER 001 008 Be not afraid because of them: 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 unto 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 pluck up and to break down, and to destroy and to overthrow; to build, and to plant. 024 JER 001 011 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto 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 unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I watch over my word to perform it. 024 JER 001 013 And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething caldron; and the face thereof is from the north. 024 JER 001 014 Then the LORD said unto me, Out of the north 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 entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah. 024 JER 001 016 And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness; in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands. 024 JER 001 017 Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at them, lest I dismay thee before them. 024 JER 001 018 For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, 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 And 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 for thee the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals; how thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown. 024 JER 002 003 Israel [was] holiness unto the LORD, the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall be held guilty; 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 unrighteousness have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain? 024 JER 002 006 Neither said they, Where is the LORD that brought us up 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 none passed through, and where no man dwelt? 024 JER 002 007 And I brought you into a plentiful land, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine 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 Wherefore 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 to the isles of Kittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently; and see if there hath been such a thing. 024 JER 002 011 Hath a nation changed [their] gods, which yet are 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 them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. 024 JER 002 014 Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn [slave]? why is he become a prey? 024 JER 002 015 The young lions have roared upon him, and yelled: and they have made his land waste; his cities are burned up, without inhabitant. 024 JER 002 016 The children also of Noph and Tahpanhes have broken the crown of thy head. 024 JER 002 017 Hast thou not procured this unto 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 to Egypt, to drink the waters of Shihor? or what hast thou to do in the way to Assyria, to drink the waters of the River? 024 JER 002 019 Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and a bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord, the LORD 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 serve; for upon every high hill and under every green tree thou didst bow thyself, 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 unto me? 024 JER 002 022 For though thou wash thee with lye, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord GOD. 024 JER 002 023 How canst thou say, I am not defiled, I have not gone after the 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 ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind in her desire; 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 which say to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto 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 thee? 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 Wherefore 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 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 unto Israel? or a land of thick darkness? wherefore say my people, We are broken loose; we will come no more unto 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 How trimmest thou thy way to seek love! therefore even the wicked women hast thou taught thy ways. 024 JER 002 034 Also, in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the innocent poor: I have not found it at the place of breaking in, but upon all these. 024 JER 002 035 Yet thou saidst, I am innocent; surely his anger is turned away from me. Behold, I will enter into judgment with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned. 024 JER 002 036 Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou shalt be ashamed of Egypt also, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria. 024 JER 002 037 From him also shalt thou go forth, with thine hands upon thine head: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them. 024 JER 003 001 They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man’s, shall he return unto 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 thine eyes unto the bare heights, and see; where hast thou not been lain with? By the ways hast thou sat for them, as an Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness. 024 JER 003 003 Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; yet thou hadst a whore’s forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed. 024 JER 003 004 Wilt thou not from this time cry unto 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 hast done evil things, and hast had thy way. 024 JER 003 006 Moreover the LORD said unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is 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, She will return unto me; but she returned not: and her treacherous sister Judah saw it. 024 JER 003 008 And I saw, when, for this very cause that backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a bill of divorcement, yet treacherous Judah her sister feared not; but she also went and played the harlot. 024 JER 003 009 And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that the land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with stocks. 024 JER 003 010 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not returned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD. 024 JER 003 011 And the LORD said unto me, Backsliding Israel hath shewn herself more righteous than treacherous Judah. 024 JER 003 012 Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; I will not look in anger upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, I will not keep [anger] for ever. 024 JER 003 013 Only acknowledge thine 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 Return, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am a husband unto 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 mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. 024 JER 003 016 And it shall come to pass, when ye 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 visit 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 unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the stubbornness 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 out of the land of the north to the land that I gave for an inheritance unto your fathers. 024 JER 003 019 But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of the nations? and I said, Ye shall call me My father; and shall not turn away from following 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 is heard upon the bare heights, the weeping [and] the supplications of the children of Israel; for that they have perverted their way, they have forgotten the LORD their God. 024 JER 003 022 Return, ye backsliding children, I will heal your backslidings, Behold, we are come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God. 024 JER 003 023 Truly in vain is [the help that is looked for] from the hills, the tumult on the mountains: truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel. 024 JER 003 024 But the shameful thing hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters. 024 JER 003 025 Let us lie down in our shame, and let our confusion cover us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day: and we have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God. 024 JER 004 001 If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, unto me shalt thou return: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not be removed; 024 JER 004 002 and thou shalt swear, As 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 to 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 go 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 publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry aloud and say? Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the fenced cities. 024 JER 004 006 Set up a standard toward Zion: flee for safety, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction. 024 JER 004 007 A lion is gone up from his thicket, and a destroyer of nations; he is on his way, he is gone forth from his place; to make thy land desolate, that thy cities be laid waste, without inhabitant. 024 JER 004 008 For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: 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; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul. 024 JER 004 011 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A hot wind from the bare heights in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse; 024 JER 004 012 a full wind from these shall come for me: now will I also utter judgments against them. 024 JER 004 013 Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots [shall be] as the whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled. 024 JER 004 014 O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thine evil thoughts lodge within thee? 024 JER 004 015 For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth evil from the hills of Ephraim: 024 JER 004 016 make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish 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 are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD. 024 JER 004 018 Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness; for it is bitter, for it reacheth unto thine heart. 024 JER 004 019 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart is disquieted 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 spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, [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 is foolish, they know me not; they are sottish children, and they have none 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 waste 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 to and fro. 024 JER 004 025 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. 024 JER 004 026 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, [and] before his fierce anger. 024 JER 004 027 For thus saith the LORD, The whole land shall be a desolation; 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 I have not repented, neither will I turn back from it. 024 JER 004 029 The whole city fleeth for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they go into the thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city is forsaken, and not a man dwelleth therein. 024 JER 004 030 And thou, when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with scarlet, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou enlargest thine eyes with paint, in vain dost thou make thyself fair; [thy] lovers despise thee, they seek thy life. 024 JER 004 031 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that gaspeth for breath, that spreadeth her hands, [saying], Woe is me now! for my soul fainteth before the murderers. 024 JER 005 001 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that doeth justly, that seeketh truth; and I will pardon her. 024 JER 005 002 And though they say, As the LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely. 024 JER 005 003 O LORD, do not thine eyes look upon truth? thou hast stricken them, but they were 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 Then 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 get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they know the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God. But these with one accord have broken the yoke, and burst the bands. 024 JER 005 006 Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities, every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, [and] their backslidings are increased. 024 JER 005 007 How can I pardon thee? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they committed adultery, and assembled themselves in troops at 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 visit 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 branches: 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 unto them. 024 JER 005 014 Wherefore thus saith the LORD, the 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 an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men. 024 JER 005 017 And they shall eat up thine harvest and thy bread, [which] thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall beat down thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustest, with the sword. 024 JER 005 018 But even 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, Wherefore hath the LORD our God done all these things unto us? then shalt thou say unto them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours. 024 JER 005 020 Declare ye this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying, 024 JER 005 021 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not: 024 JER 005 022 Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it? and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it. 024 JER 005 023 But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are 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; that reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest. 024 JER 005 025 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good from you. 024 JER 005 026 For among my people are found wicked men: they watch, as fowlers lie in wait; 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 are become great, and waxen rich. 024 JER 005 028 They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass in deeds of wickedness: they plead not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they should prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge. 024 JER 005 029 shall I not visit 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 come to pass 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 the end thereof? 024 JER 006 001 Flee for safety, ye children of Benjamin, out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and raise up a signal on Beth-haccherem: for evil looketh forth from the north, and a great destruction. 024 JER 006 002 The comely and delicate one, the daughter of Zion, will I cut off. 024 JER 006 003 Shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; 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 unto us! for the day declineth, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out. 024 JER 006 005 Arise, and let us go up 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 up 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 well casteth forth her waters, so she casteth forth her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is sickness and wounds. 024 JER 006 008 Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from thee; lest I make thee a desolation, a land not inhabited. 024 JER 006 009 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall throughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn again thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets. 024 JER 006 010 To whom shall I speak and testify, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is become unto 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: pour it out upon the children in the street, 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 unto others, their fields and their 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 unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. 024 JER 006 014 They have healed also the hurt of my people lightly, 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 therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls: but they said, We will not walk [therein]. 024 JER 006 017 And 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 unto my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it. 024 JER 006 020 To what purpose cometh there to me frankincense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices pleasing unto 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 stumble against 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 stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth. 024 JER 006 023 They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea, and they ride upon horses; every one set in array, as a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Zion. 024 JER 006 024 We have heard the fame thereof; our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, [and] pangs as of a woman in travail. 024 JER 006 025 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for [there is] the sword of the enemy, [and] terror 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 made thee 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, going about with slanders; they are brass and iron: they all of them deal corruptly. 024 JER 006 029 The bellows blow fiercely; the lead is consumed of the fire: in vain do they go on refining; for the wicked are not plucked away. 024 JER 006 030 Refuse 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 throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly 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 own hurt: 024 JER 007 007 then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, from of old even for evermore. 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 unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye have not known, 024 JER 007 010 and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered; that ye may 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, I, even I, have seen it, saith the LORD. 024 JER 007 012 But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell 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 spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not: 024 JER 007 014 therefore will I do unto the house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto 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 the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto 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, mine 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: Add your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat ye flesh. 024 JER 007 022 For I spake not unto 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, Hearken unto my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you. 024 JER 007 024 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in [their own] counsels [and] in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward and not forward. 024 JER 007 025 Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day, I have sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them: 024 JER 007 026 yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff: they did worse than their fathers. 024 JER 007 027 And thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee. 024 JER 007 028 And thou shalt say unto them, This is the nation that hath not hearkened to the voice of the LORD their God, nor received instruction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth. 024 JER 007 029 Cut off thine hair, [O Jerusalem], and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on the bare heights; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath. 024 JER 007 030 For the children of Judah have done that which is evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it. 024 JER 007 031 And they have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded not, neither came it into my mind. 024 JER 007 032 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter: for they shall bury in Topheth, till there be no place [to bury]. 024 JER 007 033 And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray 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 become a waste. 024 JER 008 001 At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out 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 dung upon the face of the earth. 024 JER 008 003 And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts. 024 JER 008 004 Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD: shall men fall, and not rise up again? shall one turn away, and not return? 024 JER 008 005 Why then is 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 spake not aright: no man repenteth him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turneth to his course, as a horse that rusheth headlong in the battle. 024 JER 008 007 Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the ordinance of the LORD. 024 JER 008 008 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes hath wrought falsely. 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 manner of wisdom is in them? 024 JER 008 010 Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall possess them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. 024 JER 008 011 And they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people lightly, 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 visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD. 024 JER 008 013 I will utterly 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 them shall pass away from them. 024 JER 008 014 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced 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 healing, and behold dismay! 024 JER 008 016 The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan: at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembleth; for they are come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it; the city and those that dwell therein. 024 JER 008 017 For, behold, I will send serpents, basilisks, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you, saith the LORD. 024 JER 008 018 Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! my heart is faint within me. 024 JER 008 019 Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: 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 strange 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 Oh that my head were waters, and mine 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 Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men. 024 JER 009 003 And they bend their tongue [as it were] their bow for falsehood; and they are grown strong in the land, but not for truth: 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 go about 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; they weary themselves to commit iniquity. 024 JER 009 006 Thine 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 [else] should I do, because of the daughter of my people? 024 JER 009 008 Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in his heart he layeth wait for him. 024 JER 009 009 Shall I not visit 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 pastures of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none passeth through; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled, they are gone. 024 JER 009 011 And I will make Jerusalem heaps, a dwelling place of jackals; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without 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? wherefore is the land and perished burned up like a wilderness, so 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 therein; 024 JER 009 014 but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart, and after the 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 nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send the 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 the cunning 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 spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings. 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 is come up into our windows, it is entered into our palaces; to cut off the children from without, [and] the young men from the streets. 024 JER 009 022 Speak, Thus saith the LORD, The carcases of men shall fall as dung 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 which 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 which are circumcised in [their] uncircumcision; 024 JER 009 026 Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that have the corners [of their hair] polled, that dwell in the wilderness: for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart. 024 JER 010 001 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: 024 JER 010 002 thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the nations, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the nations are dismayed at them. 024 JER 010 003 For the customs of the peoples are vanity: 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 move not. 024 JER 010 005 They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good. 024 JER 010 006 There is none like unto 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 the nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like unto thee. 024 JER 010 008 But they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols, it is but a stock. 024 JER 010 009 There is silver beaten into plates which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of cunning 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 trembleth, and the nations are not able to abide his indignation. 024 JER 010 011 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens. 024 JER 010 012 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding hath he stretched out the heavens: 024 JER 010 013 when he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries. 024 JER 010 014 Every man is become brutish [and is] without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. 024 JER 010 015 They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. 024 JER 010 016 The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: the LORD of hosts is his name. 024 JER 010 017 Gather up thy wares out of the land, O thou that abidest in the siege. 024 JER 010 018 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel [it]. 024 JER 010 019 Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is [my] grief, and I must bear it. 024 JER 010 020 My tent is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of 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 shepherds are become brutish, and have not inquired of the LORD: therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered. 024 JER 010 022 The voice of a rumour, behold it cometh, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling place of jackals. 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 thine 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 devoured Jacob, yea, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation. 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 unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem; 024 JER 011 003 and say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Cursed be the man that heareth not the words of this covenant, 024 JER 011 004 which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of 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 establish the oath which I sware unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day. Then answered I, and said, Amen, O LORD. 024 JER 011 006 And the LORD said unto 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 unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto 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 stubbornness of their evil heart: therefore I brought 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 unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 024 JER 011 010 They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they are gone 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 they shall cry unto me, but I will not hearken unto them. 024 JER 011 012 Then shall the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem go and cry unto the gods unto whom 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 are thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal. 024 JER 011 014 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble. 024 JER 011 015 What hath my beloved to do in mine 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 with 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, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have wrought for themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense unto Baal. 024 JER 011 018 And the LORD gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it: then thou shewedst me their doings. 024 JER 011 019 But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, [saying], Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, 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 unto 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, Thou shalt not prophesy 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 unto them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation. 024 JER 012 001 Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet would I reason the cause with thee: wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they at ease 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 seest me, and triest mine 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 the whole country wither? for the wickedness of them that dwell therein, the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our latter 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 though in a land of peace thou art secure, yet how wilt thou do in the pride of Jordan? 024 JER 012 006 For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; even they have cried aloud after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee. 024 JER 012 007 I have forsaken mine house, I have cast off mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies. 024 JER 012 008 Mine heritage is become unto me as a lion in the forest: she hath uttered her voice against me; therefore I have hated her. 024 JER 012 009 Is mine heritage unto me as a speckled bird of prey? are the birds of prey against her round about? go ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, bring them 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 a desolation; it mourneth unto me, being desolate; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart. 024 JER 012 012 Spoilers are come upon all the bare heights in the wilderness: for the sword of the LORD devoureth from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh hath peace. 024 JER 012 013 They have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns; they have put themselves to pain, and profit nothing: and ye shall be ashamed of your fruits, because of the fierce anger of the LORD. 024 JER 012 014 Thus saith the LORD against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: Behold, I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from among them. 024 JER 012 015 And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them up, I will return and have compassion on them; and I 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, As the LORD liveth; even as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built up in the midst of my people. 024 JER 012 017 But if they will not hear, then will I pluck up that nation, plucking up and destroying it, saith the LORD. 024 JER 013 001 Thus said the LORD unto me, Go, and buy thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water. 024 JER 013 002 So I bought a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put it upon my loins. 024 JER 013 003 And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, 024 JER 013 004 Take the girdle that thou hast bought, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole 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 unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there. 024 JER 013 007 Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing. 024 JER 013 008 Then the word of the LORD came unto 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, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and are gone after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is profitable for nothing. 024 JER 013 011 For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto 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 unto them this word: Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall say unto thee, Do we not know that every bottle shall be filled with wine? 024 JER 013 013 Then shalt thou say unto 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 compassion, that I should not 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 cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains; and, while ye look for light, he 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 for [your] pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD’S flock is taken captive. 024 JER 013 018 Say thou unto the king and to the queen-mother, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your headtires are come down, even the crown of your glory. 024 JER 013 019 The cities of the South are shut up, and there is none to open them: Judah is carried away captive all of it; it is 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 set [thy] friends over thee as head, seeing thou thyself hast instructed them against thee? shall not sorrows take hold of thee, as of a woman in travail? 024 JER 013 022 And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore are these things come upon me? for the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered, and thy heels suffer violence. 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 measured unto thee from me, saith the LORD; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood. 024 JER 013 026 Therefore will I also discover thy skirts upon thy face, and thy shame shall appear. 024 JER 013 027 I have seen thine abominations, even thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, on the hills in the field. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! thou wilt not be made clean; how long shall it yet be? 024 JER 014 001 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought. 024 JER 014 002 Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish, they sit in black upon the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up. 024 JER 014 003 And their nobles send their little ones to the waters: they come to the pits, and find no water; they return with their vessels empty: they are ashamed and confounded, and cover their heads. 024 JER 014 004 Because of the ground which is chapt, for that no rain hath been in the land, the plowmen are ashamed, they cover their heads. 024 JER 014 005 Yea, the hind also in the field calveth, and forsaketh [her young], because there is no grass. 024 JER 014 006 And the wild asses stand on the bare heights, they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail, because there is no herbage. 024 JER 014 007 Though our iniquities testify against us, work thou for thy name’s sake, O LORD: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee. 024 JER 014 008 O thou hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in the time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a sojourner 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 astonied, 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 unto this people, Even so have they loved to wander; they have not refrained their feet: therefore the LORD doth not accept them; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins. 024 JER 014 011 And the LORD said unto 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 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 unto 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 unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake I unto them: they prophesy unto you a lying vision, and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their own 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 And thou shalt say this word unto them, Let mine 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 wound. 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! for both the prophet and the priest go about in the land and have no knowledge. 024 JER 014 019 Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul loathed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold dismay! 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 heathen 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 unto 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, when they say unto thee, Whither 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 captivity, to 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 to destroy. 024 JER 015 004 And I will cause them to be tossed to and fro among all the 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 turn aside to ask of thy welfare? 024 JER 015 006 Thou hast rejected me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore have I stretched out my hand against thee, and destroyed thee; I am weary with repenting. 024 JER 015 007 And I have fanned them with a fan in the gates of the land; I have bereaved [them] of children, I have destroyed my people; they have not returned from their ways. 024 JER 015 008 Their widows are increased 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 anguish and terrors to fall upon her suddenly. 024 JER 015 009 She that hath borne seven languisheth; she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day; she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue 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 not lent on usury, neither have men lent to me on usury; [yet] every one of them doth curse me. 024 JER 015 011 The LORD said, Verily I will strengthen thee for good; verily I will cause the enemy to make supplication unto thee in the time of evil and in the time of affliction. 024 JER 015 012 Can one break iron, even iron from the north, and brass? 024 JER 015 013 Thy substance and thy treasures will I give for a spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders. 024 JER 015 014 And I will make [them] to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine 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 reproach. 024 JER 015 016 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy words were unto me a joy and the rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts. 024 JER 015 017 I sat not in the assembly of them that make merry, 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 indeed be unto me as a deceitful [brook], as waters that fail? 024 JER 015 019 Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, that thou mayest stand before me; and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: they shall return unto thee, but thou shalt not return unto them. 024 JER 015 020 And I will make thee unto this people a fenced 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 out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible. 024 JER 016 001 The word of the LORD came also unto me, saying, 024 JER 016 002 Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or 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 bare them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land: 024 JER 016 004 They shall die of grievous deaths; they shalt not be lamented, neither shall they be buried; they shall be as dung upon the face of the ground: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their carcases shall be meat 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, neither bemoan them: for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the LORD, even lovingkindness and tender mercies. 024 JER 016 006 Both great and 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 break [bread] 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 And 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, before 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 shew this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore 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 unto 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 evil more than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that ye hearken not unto me: 024 JER 016 013 therefore will I cast you forth out of this land into the land that ye have not known, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; for I will shew you no favour. 024 JER 016 014 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, As the LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 024 JER 016 015 but, As the LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers. 024 JER 016 016 Behold, I will send for many fishers saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. 024 JER 016 017 For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity concealed from mine eyes. 024 JER 016 018 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have polluted my land with the carcases of their detestable things, and have filled mine inheritance with their abominations. 024 JER 016 019 O LORD, my strength, and my strong hold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, unto thee shall the nations come from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Our fathers have inherited nought but lies, [even] vanity and things wherein there is no profit. 024 JER 016 020 Shall a man make unto himself gods, which yet are no gods? 024 JER 016 021 Therefore, behold, I will cause them to know, this once will I cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is Jehovah. 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 table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars; 024 JER 017 002 whilst their children remember their altars and their Asherim 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 for a spoil, [and] thy high places, because of sin, throughout all thy borders. 024 JER 017 004 And thou, even of thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger which shall burn for ever. 024 JER 017 005 Thus saith the LORD: Cursed is 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, 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 his roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat cometh, but his leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. 024 JER 017 009 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is desperately sick: 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, according to the fruit of his doings. 024 JER 017 011 As the partridge that gathereth [young] which she hath not brought forth, so is he that getteth riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool. 024 JER 017 012 A glorious throne, [set] on high 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; 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 unto 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 after thee; neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was before thy face. 024 JER 017 017 Be not a terror unto me: thou art my refuge in the day of evil. 024 JER 017 018 Let them be ashamed that persecute me, but let not me be ashamed; 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 unto me: Go, and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem; 024 JER 017 020 and say unto them, Hear ye the word of the LORD, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in 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 hearkened not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction. 024 JER 017 024 And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but to hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein; 024 JER 017 025 then shall there enter in by 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 round about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland, and from the mountains, and from the South, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and oblations, and frankincense, and bringing [sacrifices of] thanksgiving, unto the house of the LORD. 024 JER 017 027 But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, 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 his work on the wheels. 024 JER 018 004 And when the vessel that he made of the clay was marred in the hand of the potter, he made it again another vessel, as 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 in the potter’s hand, so are ye in mine 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 break down and to destroy it; 024 JER 018 008 if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto 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 do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them. 024 JER 018 011 Now therefore go to, 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 device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and amend your ways and your doings. 024 JER 018 012 But they say, There is no hope: for we will walk after our own devices, and we will do every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart. 024 JER 018 013 Therefore thus saith the LORD: Ask ye now among the nations, who hath heard such things; the virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing. 024 JER 018 014 Shall the snow of Lebanon fail from the rock of the field? [or] shall the cold waters that flow down from afar be dried up? 024 JER 018 015 For my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity; and they have caused them to stumble in their ways, in the ancient paths, to walk in bypaths, in a way not cast up; 024 JER 018 016 to make their land an astonishment, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby 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 look upon their back, and not their 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 digged a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before thee to speak good for them, to turn away thy fury from them. 024 JER 018 021 Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and give them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives become childless, and widows; and let their men be slain of death, [and] their young men smitten of 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 digged 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 thou with them in the time of thine anger. 024 JER 019 001 Thus said the LORD, Go, and buy a potter’s earthen bottle, and [take] of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests; 024 JER 019 002 and go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the gate Harsith, 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, the which whosoever 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 unto other gods, whom they knew not, they and their fathers and the kings of Judah; and have filled this place with the blood of innocents; 024 JER 019 005 and have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire for burnt offerings unto Baal; which I commanded not, nor spake 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 Topheth, 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 hand of them that seek their life: and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth. 024 JER 019 008 And I will make this city an astonishment, and an hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof. 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 in the straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their life, shall straiten 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 unto 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 in Topheth, till there be no place to bury. 024 JER 019 012 Thus will I do unto this place, saith the LORD, and to the inhabitants thereof, even making this city as Topheth: 024 JER 019 013 and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, shall be as the place of Topheth, even all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods. 024 JER 019 014 Then came Jeremiah from Topheth, whither 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 made their neck stiff, that they might not hear my words. 024 JER 020 001 Now Pashhur the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in the house of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things. 024 JER 020 002 Then Pashhur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of the LORD. 024 JER 020 003 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The LORD hath not called thy name Pashhur, but Magor-missabib. 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 thine eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword. 024 JER 020 005 Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all the gains thereof, and all the precious things thereof, yea, all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon. 024 JER 020 006 And thou, Pashhur, and all that dwell in thine house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and there shalt thou be buried, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied falsely. 024 JER 020 007 O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am become a laughingstock all the day, every one mocketh me. 024 JER 020 008 For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, Violence and spoil: because the word of the LORD is made a reproach unto me, and a derision, all the day. 024 JER 020 009 And if I say, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name, then there is in mine heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with forbearing, and I cannot [contain]. 024 JER 020 010 For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side. Denounce, and we will denounce him, [say] all my familiar friends, they that watch for my halting; peradventure 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 one [and] a terrible: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonour which shall never be forgotten. 024 JER 020 012 But, O LORD of hosts, that triest the righteous, that seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them; for unto thee have I revealed my cause. 024 JER 020 013 Sing unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for he hath delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evil-doers. 024 JER 020 014 Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed. 024 JER 020 015 Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto 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 a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontide; 024 JER 020 017 because he slew me not from the womb; and so my mother should have been my grave, and her womb always great. 024 JER 020 018 Wherefore came I forth 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 unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when king Zedekiah sent unto him Pashhur the son of Malchijah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying, 024 JER 021 002 Inquire, I pray thee, of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon maketh war against us: peradventure 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 unto them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah: 024 JER 021 004 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands; wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans which besiege you, without the walls, and I will gather 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 of 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, even such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar 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 unto 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 away to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey. 024 JER 021 010 For I have set my face upon 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 touching the house of the king of Judah, 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 the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go forth 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] of the rock of the plain, saith the LORD; ye which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations? 024 JER 021 014 And I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the LORD: and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it shall devour all that is round about her. 024 JER 022 001 Thus said 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 in by these gates. 024 JER 022 003 Thus saith the LORD: Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled 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 in 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 concerning the house of the king of Judah: Thou art Gilead unto 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, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this great city? 024 JER 022 009 Then they shall answer, Because they forsook 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 sore 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 touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father, which went forth out of this place: He shall not return thither any more; 024 JER 022 012 But in the place whither they have led him captive, there shall he die, and he shall see this land no more. 024 JER 022 013 Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by injustice; that useth his neighbour’s service without wages, and giveth him not his hire; 024 JER 022 014 that saith, I will build me a wide house and spacious chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is cieled with cedar, and painted with vermilion. 024 JER 022 015 Shalt thou reign, because thou strivest to excel in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice? then it was well with him. 024 JER 022 016 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Was not this to know me? saith the LORD. 024 JER 022 017 But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed 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 an ass, 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 Abarim; for all thy lovers are destroyed. 024 JER 022 021 I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice. 024 JER 022 022 The wind shall feed 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 greatly to be pitied 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 thence; 024 JER 022 025 and I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them of whom thou art afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans. 024 JER 022 026 And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die. 024 JER 022 027 But to the land whereunto their soul longeth to return, thither shall they not return. 024 JER 022 028 Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel? is he a vessel wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into the 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 unto the shepherds that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. 024 JER 023 002 Therefore thus saith the LORD, the 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 out of all the countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and multiply. 024 JER 023 004 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be lacking, saith the LORD. 024 JER 023 005 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute judgment and justice in the land. 024 JER 023 006 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The LORD is our righteousness. 024 JER 023 007 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, As the LORD liveth, which brought up the Children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 024 JER 023 008 but, As the LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land. 024 JER 023 009 Concerning the prophets. Mine heart within me is broken, 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 his holy words. 024 JER 023 010 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pastures 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; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD. 024 JER 023 012 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery places in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD. 024 JER 023 013 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied by Baal, and caused my people Israel to err. 024 JER 023 014 In the prophets of Jerusalem also I have seen an horrible thing; they commit adultery, and walk in lies, and they strengthen the hands of evil-doers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them become unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof 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 unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you; they teach you vanity: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. 024 JER 023 017 They say continually unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and unto every one that walketh in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, No evil shall come upon you. 024 JER 023 018 For who hath stood in the council of the LORD, that he should perceive and hear his word? who hath marked my word, and heard it? 024 JER 023 019 Behold, the tempest of the LORD, [even his] fury, is gone forth, yea, a whirling tempest: it shall burst upon the head of the wicked. 024 JER 023 020 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall understand it perfectly. 024 JER 023 021 I sent not these prophets, yet they ran: I spake not unto them, yet they prophesied. 024 JER 023 022 But if they had stood in my council, then had they caused my people to hear my words, and had 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 have 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; even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart? 024 JER 023 027 which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers forgat 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 straw to the wheat? saith the LORD. 024 JER 023 029 Is not my word like as 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 lying dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting: yet I sent them not, nor commanded them; neither shall they 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? then shalt thou say unto them, What burden! I will cast you off, 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 own 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 if 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 unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the LORD; 024 JER 023 039 therefore, behold, I will utterly forget you, and I will cast you off, and the city that I gave unto you and to your fathers, away from 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 shewed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs set before the temple of the LORD; after that Nebuchadrezzar 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, 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 unto 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 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 024 JER 024 005 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I regard the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans, for good. 024 JER 024 006 For I will set mine 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 unto 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 up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt: 024 JER 024 009 I will even give them up to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth for evil; to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them. 024 JER 024 010 And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto 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; the same was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; 024 JER 025 002 the which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto 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 unto this day, these three and twenty years, the word of the LORD hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising up early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened. 024 JER 025 004 And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear; 024 JER 025 005 saying, Return ye now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto you and to your fathers, from of old and even for evermore: 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 work of your hands; and I will do you no hurt. 024 JER 025 007 Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke me to anger with the work of your hands to your own hurt. 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 [I will send] unto Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, 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 I will make it desolate for ever. 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 serve themselves of them, even of them: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands. 024 JER 025 015 For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto me: Take the cup of the wine 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 reel to and fro, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. 024 JER 025 017 Then took I the cup at the LORD’S hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me: 024 JER 025 018 [to wit], Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, 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 mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, 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 isle which is beyond the sea; 024 JER 025 023 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that have the corners [of their hair] polled; 024 JER 025 024 and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the wilderness; 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 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, 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 thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Ye shall surely drink. 024 JER 025 029 For, lo, I begin to work evil at 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 unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar against his fold; 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 end of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; as for the wicked, he will give them 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 tempest shall be raised up from the uttermost parts 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 unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the face of the ground. 024 JER 025 034 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves [in ashes], ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter are fully come, and I will break you in pieces, and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel. 024 JER 025 035 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape. 024 JER 025 036 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and the howling of the principal of the flock! for the LORD layeth waste their pasture. 024 JER 025 037 And the peaceable folds are brought to silence because of the fierce anger of the LORD. 024 JER 025 038 He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is become an astonishment because of the fierceness of the oppressing [sword], 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 unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD’S house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; keep not back a word. 024 JER 026 003 It may be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way; that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings. 024 JER 026 004 And thou shalt say unto 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 send unto you, even rising up 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 And the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD. 024 JER 026 008 And it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people laid hold on 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 inhabitant? And all the people were gathered unto Jeremiah in the house of the LORD. 024 JER 026 010 And when the princes of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king’s house unto the house of the LORD; and they sat in the entry of the new gate of the LORD’S [house]. 024 JER 026 011 Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy of death; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears. 024 JER 026 012 Then spake Jeremiah unto 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 him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you. 024 JER 026 014 But as for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as is good and right in your eyes. 024 JER 026 015 Only know ye for certain that, if ye put me to death, ye shall bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the LORD hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears. 024 JER 026 016 Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets: This man is not worthy of death; for he hath spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God. 024 JER 026 017 Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spake to all the assembly of the people, saying, 024 JER 026 018 Micaiah the Morashtite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Zion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest. 024 JER 026 019 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear the LORD, and entreat the favour of the LORD, and the LORD repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus should we commit great evil against our own souls, 024 JER 026 020 And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the LORD, Uriah the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath-jearim; and he 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 Uriah 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 fetched forth Uriah out of Egypt, and brought him unto Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people. 024 JER 026 024 But 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 unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 024 JER 027 002 Thus saith the LORD to me: Make thee bands and bars, 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 children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah; 024 JER 027 004 and give them a charge unto their masters; saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Thus shall ye say unto your masters; 024 JER 027 005 I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I give it unto whom it seemeth right unto 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 also have I given him to serve him. 024 JER 027 007 And all the nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the time of his own land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him. 024 JER 027 008 And it shall come to pass, that the nation and the 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 But as for you, hearken ye not to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreams, nor to your soothsayers, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: 024 JER 027 010 for they prophesy a lie unto 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 nation that shall bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, that [nation] will I let remain in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell therein. 024 JER 027 012 And I spake 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 concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon? 024 JER 027 014 And hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you. 024 JER 027 015 For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, but they prophesy falsely in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you. 024 JER 027 016 Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD: Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD’S house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you. 024 JER 027 017 Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city become a desolation? 024 JER 027 018 But if they be prophets, and if the word of the LORD be 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 residue of the vessels, that are left 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 are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at 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, in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azzur the prophet, which was of Gibeon, spake unto 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 to Babylon, saith the LORD: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon. 024 JER 028 005 Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto 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 them of the captivity, from Babylon unto this place. 024 JER 028 007 Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine 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 against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence. 024 JER 028 009 The prophet which 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 bar from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and brake it. 024 JER 028 011 And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the LORD: Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon within two full years from off the neck of all the nations. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way. 024 JER 028 012 Then the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the bar 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 bars of wood; but thou shalt make in their stead bars 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 unto 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 send thee away from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast spoken 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 unto the residue of the elders of the captivity, 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 that Jeconiah the king, and the queen-mother, and the eunuchs, [and] the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the craftsmen, and the smiths, were 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 unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, ) saying, 024 JER 029 004 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all the captivity, whom I have caused to be carried away captive from Jerusalem unto 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; and multiply ye there, and be not diminished. 024 JER 029 007 And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace. 024 JER 029 008 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Let not your prophets that be in the midst of you, and your diviners, deceive you, neither hearken ye to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. 024 JER 029 009 For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD. 024 JER 029 010 For thus saith the LORD, After seventy years be accomplished for 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 hope in your latter end. 024 JER 029 012 And ye shall call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 024 JER 029 013 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all year heart. 024 JER 029 014 And I will be found of you, saith the LORD, and I will turn again your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again unto the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive. 024 JER 029 015 For ye have said, The LORD hath raised us up prophets in Babylon. 024 JER 029 016 for thus saith the LORD concerning the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and concerning all the people that dwell in this city, 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 pursue after them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth, to be an execration, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them: 024 JER 029 019 because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the LORD, wherewith I sent unto them my servants the prophets, rising up 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 away 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, which prophesy a lie unto you in my name: Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes; 024 JER 029 022 and of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captives of Judah which are in Babylon, saying, The LORD make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king Babylon roasted in the fire: 024 JER 029 023 because they have wrought folly in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours’ wives, and have spoken words in my name falsely, which I commanded them not; and I am he that knoweth, and am witness, saith the LORD. 024 JER 029 024 And concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite thou shalt speak, saying, 024 JER 029 025 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent letters in thine own name unto 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 the stocks and in shackles. 024 JER 029 027 Now therefore, why hast thou not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, which maketh himself a prophet to you, 024 JER 029 028 forasmuch as he hath sent unto us in Babylon, saying, [The 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 unto Jeremiah, saying, 024 JER 029 031 Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he hath 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 unto my people, saith the LORD: because he hath spoken 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, the God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book. 024 JER 030 003 For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will turn again the captivity 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 spake 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: wherefore 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 And 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 bands; and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: 024 JER 030 009 but they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them. 024 JER 030 010 Therefore fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, 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 quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid. 024 JER 030 011 For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee, but I will not make a full end of thee; but I will correct thee with judgment, and will in no wise leave thee unpunished. 024 JER 030 012 For thus saith the LORD, Thy hurt is incurable, and thy wound 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 greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased. 024 JER 030 015 Why criest thou for thy hurt? thy pain is incurable: for the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee. 024 JER 030 016 Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil 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 unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they have called thee an outcast, [saying], It is Zion, whom no man seeketh after. 024 JER 030 018 Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will turn again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have compassion on his dwelling places; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof. 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 aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them. 024 JER 030 021 And their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is he that hath had boldness to approach unto 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 tempest of the LORD, [even his] fury, is gone forth, a sweeping tempest: it shall burst upon the head of the wicked. 024 JER 030 024 The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall understand it. 024 JER 031 001 At that time, saith the LORD, will I 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 which were left of 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 unto me, [saying], Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. 024 JER 031 004 Again will I build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: again shalt thou be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry. 024 JER 031 005 Again shalt thou plant vineyards upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall enjoy [the fruit thereof]. 024 JER 031 006 For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the hills of Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God. 024 JER 031 007 For thus saith the LORD, Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout for the chief of the nations: publish 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 uttermost parts 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 they return hither. 024 JER 031 009 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way wherein 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 ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he. 024 JER 031 012 And they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together unto the goodness of the LORD, to the corn, and to the wine, and to the oil, and to 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, and the young men and the 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 satiate 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 is heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children; she refuseth to be comforted for her children, because they are not. 024 JER 031 016 Thus saith the LORD: Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine 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 for thy latter end, saith the LORD; and [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 calf 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 that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth. 024 JER 031 020 Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for as often as I speak against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the LORD. 024 JER 031 021 Set thee up waymarks, make thee guide-posts: set thine heart toward the highway, even the way by which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities. 024 JER 031 022 How long wilt thou go hither and thither, 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: Yet again shall they use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity: The LORD bless thee, O habitation of justice, O mountain of holiness. 024 JER 031 024 And Judah and all the cities thereof shall dwell therein together; the husbandmen, and they that go about with flocks. 024 JER 031 025 For I have satiated the weary soul, and every sorrowful soul have I replenished. 024 JER 031 026 Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto 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 like as I have watched over them to pluck up and to break down, and to overthrow 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 sour grapes, 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 grapes, 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 brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD. 024 JER 031 033 But this is 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 in their heart will I write it; and I 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 unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more. 024 JER 031 035 Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which stirreth up the sea, that the waves thereof roar; the LORD of hosts is his name: 024 JER 031 036 If these 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, then will I 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 Hananel unto the gate of the corner. 024 JER 031 039 And the measuring line shall yet go out straight onward unto the hill Gareb, and shall turn about unto Goah. 024 JER 031 040 And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the brook Kidron, unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy unto 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 Nebuchadrezzar. 024 JER 032 002 Now at that time the king of Babylon’s army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah’s house. 024 JER 032 003 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore 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 out of 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 unto me, saying, 024 JER 032 007 Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee, saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is thine to buy it. 024 JER 032 008 So Hanamel mine uncle’s son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of the LORD, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the land 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 that was in Anathoth of Hanamel mine uncle’s son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver. 024 JER 032 010 And I subscribed the deed, and sealed it, and called 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 delivered the deed of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel mine uncle’s [son], and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the guard. 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 yet again be bought in this land. 024 JER 032 016 Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the LORD, saying, 024 JER 032 017 Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and by thy stretched out arm; there is nothing too hard for thee: 024 JER 032 018 which shewest mercy unto 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: whose 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 which didst set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, both in Israel and among [other] men; and madest thee a name, as at this day; 024 JER 032 021 and didst bring forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with great terror; 024 JER 032 022 and gavest them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing 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 commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them: 024 JER 032 024 Behold the mounts, they are come unto 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 unto me, O Lord GOD, Buy thee the field for money, and call witnesses; whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. 024 JER 032 026 Then came the word of the LORD unto 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 Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it: 024 JER 032 029 and the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured out drink offerings unto other gods, to provoke me to anger. 024 JER 032 030 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done that which was evil in my sight 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 a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto 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 unto me the back, and not the face: and though I taught them, rising up 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] unto 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, whereof ye say, It is given 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 the countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely: 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; and 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: Like 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, whereof 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 subscribe the deeds, and seal them, and call witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill country, and cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the LORD. 024 JER 033 001 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the guard, saying, 024 JER 033 002 Thus saith the LORD that doeth it, the LORD that formeth it to establish it; the LORD is his name: 024 JER 033 003 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and will shew thee great things, and difficult, 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 broken down [to make a defence] against the mounts, and against 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 mine 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 I will reveal unto them abundance of peace and truth. 024 JER 033 007 And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity 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, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned against me, and whereby they have transgressed against me. 024 JER 033 009 And [this city] shall be to me for a name of joy, for a praise and for a glory, before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them, and shall fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I procure unto it. 024 JER 033 010 Thus saith the LORD: Yet again there shall be heard in this place, whereof ye say, It is waste, 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 say, Give thanks to the LORD of hosts, for the LORD is good, for his mercy [endureth] for ever: [and of them] that bring [sacrifices] of thanksgiving into the house of the LORD. For I will cause the captivity of the land to return as at the first, saith the LORD. 024 JER 033 012 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Yet again shall there be in this place, which is waste, without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. 024 JER 033 013 In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, 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 again pass under the hands of him that telleth them, saith the LORD. 024 JER 033 014 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah. 024 JER 033 015 In those days, and at that time, will I cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up unto 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 safely: and this is [the name] whereby she shall be called, The LORD is our righteousness. 024 JER 033 017 For thus saith the LORD: David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; 024 JER 033 018 neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to burn oblations, and to do sacrifice continually. 024 JER 033 019 And the word of the LORD came unto 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 may also 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 unto me. 024 JER 033 023 And 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 did choose, he hath cast them off? thus do they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them. 024 JER 033 025 Thus saith the LORD: If my covenant of day and night [stand] not, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; 024 JER 033 026 then will I also cast away the seed of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and will have mercy on them. 024 JER 034 001 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the peoples, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, 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 out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine 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 thou shalt die in peace; and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings which were before thee, so shall they make a burning for thee; and they shall lament thee, [saying], Ah lord! for I have spoken the word, saith the LORD. 024 JER 034 006 Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words unto 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 [alone] remained of the cities of Judah [as] fenced cities. 024 JER 034 008 The word that came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them; 024 JER 034 009 that every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, [to wit], of a Jew his brother: 024 JER 034 010 And all the princes and all the people obeyed, which had entered into the covenant, that every one should let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more; they obeyed, and let them go: 024 JER 034 011 but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids: 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 out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying, 024 JER 034 014 At the end of seven years ye shall let go every man his brother that is an Hebrew, which hath been sold unto thee, and hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear. 024 JER 034 015 And ye were now turned, and had done that which is right in mine eyes, 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 servant, and every man his handmaid, whom ye had let go free at their pleasure, to return; and ye brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids. 024 JER 034 017 Therefore thus saith the LORD: Ye have not hearkened unto me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim unto you a liberty, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth. 024 JER 034 018 And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, which have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me, when they cut the calf in twain and passed between the parts thereof; 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, which 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 meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth. 024 JER 034 021 And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I 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 inhabitant. 024 JER 035 001 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying, 024 JER 035 002 Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto 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 Habazziniah, 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, the man of God, which 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 bowls full of wine, and cups, and I said unto 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 wherein ye sojourn. 024 JER 035 008 And we have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he 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 Nebuchadrezzar 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 unto Jeremiah, saying, 024 JER 035 013 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Go, and say to 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, and unto this day they drink none, for they obey their father’s commandment: but I have spoken unto you, rising up early and speaking; and ye have not hearkened unto me. 024 JER 035 015 I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up 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 unto me. 024 JER 035 016 Forasmuch as 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 unto me; 024 JER 035 017 therefore thus saith the LORD, the 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 unto them, but they have not heard; and I have called unto them, but they have not answered. 024 JER 035 018 And Jeremiah said unto 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 unto all that he commanded you; 024 JER 035 019 therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want 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 unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 024 JER 036 002 Take thee a roll of a book, and write thereon all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day. 024 JER 036 003 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto 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 unto him, upon a roll 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 roll, 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 fast day: 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 Now it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem, proclaimed a fast before the LORD. 024 JER 036 010 Then read Baruch 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 upper court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD’S house, in the ears of all the people. 024 JER 036 011 And when Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of the LORD, 024 JER 036 012 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 Micaiah declared unto 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, unto Baruch, saying, Take in thine hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came unto them. 024 JER 036 015 And they said unto 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 turned in fear one toward another, and said unto 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 unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book. 024 JER 036 019 Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye be. 024 JER 036 020 And they went in to the king into the court; but they had laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe; and they told all the words in the ears of the king. 024 JER 036 021 So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: 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 which stood beside the king. 024 JER 036 022 Now the king sat in the winter house in the ninth month: and [there was a fire in] the brasier burning before him. 024 JER 036 023 And it came to pass, when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, that [the king] cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brasier, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was in the brasier. 024 JER 036 024 And they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words. 024 JER 036 025 Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll: but he would not hear them. 024 JER 036 026 And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, 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 roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying, 024 JER 036 028 Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned. 024 JER 036 029 And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD: Thou hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence 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 took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were added besides unto them many like words. 024 JER 037 001 And Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king, instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar 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, did hearken unto the words of the LORD, which he spake 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 unto 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 And Pharaoh’s army was come forth out of Egypt: and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they brake up from Jerusalem. 024 JER 037 006 Then came the word of the LORD unto 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 unto me to inquire of me; Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which is 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 they shall 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 forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the midst of the people. 024 JER 037 013 And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he laid hold on 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 laid hold on Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes. 024 JER 037 015 And the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote 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 was come into the dungeon house, and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days; 024 JER 037 017 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and fetched him: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from the LORD? And Jeremiah said, There is. He said also, Thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon. 024 JER 037 018 Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, Wherein have I sinned against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison? 024 JER 037 019 Where now are your prophets which prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land? 024 JER 037 020 And now hear, 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, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard, and they gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city was spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard. 024 JER 038 001 And Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchijah, heard the words that Jeremiah spake unto all the people, saying, 024 JER 038 002 Thus saith the LORD, He that abideth 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, and his life shall be unto him for a prey, and he shall live. 024 JER 038 003 Thus saith the LORD, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it. 024 JER 038 004 Then the princes said unto the king, Let this man, we pray thee, be put to death; forasmuch as 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 unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt. 024 JER 038 005 And 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 took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchijah the king’s son, that was in the court of the guard: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: and Jeremiah sank in the mire. 024 JER 038 007 Now when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, an eunuch, which 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 Ebed-melech went forth out of the king’s house, and spake 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 like to die in the place where he is because of the famine: for there is no more bread in the city. 024 JER 038 010 Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die. 024 JER 038 011 So Ebed-melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence old cast clouts and old rotten rags, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah. 024 JER 038 012 And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now these old cast clouts and rotten rags under thine armholes under the cords. And Jeremiah did so. 024 JER 038 013 So they drew up Jeremiah with the cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard. 024 JER 038 014 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that is in the house of the LORD: and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from me. 024 JER 038 015 Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, thou wilt not hearken unto me. 024 JER 038 016 So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto 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 unto Zedekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: If thou wilt go forth unto 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 thine 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 out of their hand. 024 JER 038 019 And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that are fallen away 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, in that which I speak unto thee: so it shall be well with thee, and thy soul shall live. 024 JER 038 021 But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word that the LORD hath shewed me: 024 JER 038 022 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 familiar friends have set thee on, and have prevailed over thee: [now that] thy feet are sunk in the mire: they are turned away back. 024 JER 038 023 And 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 unto 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 unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king; hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death: also what the king said unto thee: 024 JER 038 026 then thou shalt say unto 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 unto Jeremiah, and asked him: and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived. 024 JER 038 028 So Jeremiah abode in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken. And it came to pass when Jerusalem was taken, 024 JER 039 001 (IN the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and besieged it; 024 JER 039 002 in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city: ) 024 JER 039 003 that all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, even Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim, Rab-saris, Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, with all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon. 024 JER 039 004 And it came to pass that when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, by the gate betwixt the two walls: and he went out the way of the Arabah. 024 JER 039 005 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, and 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 in fetters, 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 brake down the walls of Jerusalem. 024 JER 039 009 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the residue of the people that remained in the city, the deserters also, that fell away to him, and the residue of the people that remained. 024 JER 039 010 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, which had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time. 024 JER 039 011 Now Nebuchadrezzar 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 unto him even as he shall say unto thee. 024 JER 039 013 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushazban, Rab-saris, and Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon; 024 JER 039 014 they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him unto 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 unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying, 024 JER 039 016 Go, and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, 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 before thee in that day. 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 save thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto 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 the captives of Jerusalem and Judah, which were carried away captive unto Babylon. 024 JER 040 002 And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said unto him, the LORD thy God pronounced this evil upon this place: 024 JER 040 003 and the LORD hath brought it, and done according as he spake; 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 are upon thine hand. If it seem good unto thee to come with me into Babylon, come, and I will look well unto thee: but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before thee; whither it seemeth good and convenient unto thee to go, thither go. 024 JER 040 005 Now while he was not yet gone back, Go back then, [said he], to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people: or go wheresoever it seemeth convenient unto thee to go. So the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a present, and let him go. 024 JER 040 006 Then went Jeremiah unto 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 which 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 unto him men, and women, and children, and of the poorest 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 the Maacathite, they and their men. 024 JER 040 009 And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan sware unto 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 stand before the Chaldeans, which shall come unto 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 children of Ammon, 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 then all the Jews returned out of all places whither they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, unto Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits very much. 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 unto him, Dost thou know that Baalis the king of the children of Ammon hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to take thy life? But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not. 024 JER 040 015 Then Johanan the son of Kareah spake 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: wherefore should he take thy life, that all the Jews which are gathered unto thee should be scattered, and the remnant of Judah perish? 024 JER 040 016 But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said unto 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 [one of] the chief officers of the king, and ten men with him, came unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they did eat 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, even 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 certain from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even fourscore men, having their beards shaven and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with oblations and frankincense 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 unto 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 unto Ishmael, Slay us not: for we have stores hidden in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbare, and slew them not among their brethren. 024 JER 041 009 Now the pit wherein Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had slain, by the side of Gedaliah, (the same was that which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel, ) Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with them that were slain. 024 JER 041 010 Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue 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: Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the children of Ammon. 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 which 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 cast about and returned, and went unto 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 children of Ammon. 024 JER 041 016 Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, 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 the 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 Geruth 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 over 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 unto the greatest, came near, 024 JER 042 002 and said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we pray thee, our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us unto the LORD thy God, even for all this remnant; for we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us: 024 JER 042 003 that the LORD thy God may shew us the way wherein we should walk, and the thing that we should do. 024 JER 042 004 Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray unto the LORD your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass that whatsoever thing the LORD shall answer you, I will declare it unto 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 amongst us, if we do not even according to all the word wherewith 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 unto Jeremiah. 024 JER 042 008 Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, 024 JER 042 009 and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto 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 me of the evil that I have done unto 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 grant you mercy, 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; so that ye obey not 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 have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell: 024 JER 042 015 now therefore hear ye the word of the LORD, O 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 feel shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye are afraid, shall follow hard 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 mine 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 astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more. 024 JER 042 019 The LORD hath spoken concerning you, O remnant of Judah, Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have testified unto you this day. 024 JER 042 020 For ye have dealt deceitfully against your own souls; for ye sent me unto the LORD your God, saying, Pray for us unto the LORD our God; and according unto all that the LORD our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it: 024 JER 042 021 and I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God in any thing for the which he hath sent me unto 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 whither ye desire to go to sojourn there. 024 JER 043 001 And it came to pass that when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of the LORD their God, wherewith the LORD their God had sent him to them, even all these words, 024 JER 043 002 then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the LORD our God hath not sent thee to say, Ye shall not go into Egypt to sojourn there: 024 JER 043 003 but Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death, and carry us away captives to 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 were returned from all the nations whither they had been driven to sojourn in the land of Judah; 024 JER 043 006 the men, and the women, and the 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 and they came into the land of Egypt; for they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: and they came even to Tahpanhes. 024 JER 043 008 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying, 024 JER 043 009 Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in mortar in the brickwork, which is at the entry of Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah; 024 JER 043 010 and say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar 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 he shall come, and shall smite the land of Egypt; such as are for death [shall be given] 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 thence in peace. 024 JER 043 013 He shall also break the pillars of Beth-shemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of Egypt shall he burn with fire. 024 JER 044 001 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews which dwelt in the land of Egypt, which dwelt 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 therein; 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, nor ye, nor your fathers. 024 JER 044 004 Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Oh, 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 unto other gods. 024 JER 044 006 Wherefore my fury and mine 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 it is this day. 024 JER 044 007 Therefore now thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Wherefore commit ye [this] great evil against your own souls, to cut off from you man and woman, infant and suckling, out of the midst of Judah, to leave you none remaining; 024 JER 044 008 in that ye provoke me unto anger with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to sojourn; that ye may be cut 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 committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem? 024 JER 044 010 They are not humbled even unto 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, even 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; in the land of Egypt shall they fall; they shall be consumed, by the sword and by the famine; they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, [and] an astonishment, 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, which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return save such as shall escape. 024 JER 044 015 Then all the men which knew that their wives burned incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great assembly, 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 unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee. 024 JER 044 017 But we will certainly perform every word that is gone forth out of our mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto 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 had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil. 024 JER 044 018 But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted 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 unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our husbands? 024 JER 044 020 Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, even to all the people which 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 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 become a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is 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 is happened unto you, as it is this day. 024 JER 044 024 Moreover Jeremiah said unto 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 with your hands have fulfilled it, 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 unto her: establish then your vows, and 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, As the Lord GOD liveth. 024 JER 044 027 Behold, I 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 be an end of them. 024 JER 044 028 And they that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, few in number; and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose word shall stand, mine, or theirs. 024 JER 044 029 And this shall be the sign unto 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 Pharaoh Hophra 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 Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life. 024 JER 045 001 The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he wrote these words in a book at 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, unto thee, O Baruch: 024 JER 045 003 Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest. 024 JER 045 004 Thus shalt thou say unto him, Thus saith the LORD: Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up; and this in the 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 unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest. 024 JER 046 001 The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations. 024 JER 046 002 Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh-neco, king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar 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 get up, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, put on the coats of mail. 024 JER 046 005 Wherefore have I seen it? they are dismayed and are turned backward; and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace, and look not back: terror is on every side, saith the LORD. 024 JER 046 006 Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; in the north by the river Euphrates have they stumbled, and fallen. 024 JER 046 007 Who is this that riseth up like the Nile, whose waters toss themselves like the rivers? 024 JER 046 008 Egypt riseth up like the Nile, and his waters toss themselves like the rivers: and he saith, I will rise up, I will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof. 024 JER 046 009 Go up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots; and let the mighty men go forth: Cush and Put, that handle the shield; and the Ludim, that handle and bend the bow. 024 JER 046 010 For that day is [a day] of the Lord, the LORD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour and be satiate, and shall drink its fill of their blood: for the Lord, the LORD 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 daughter of Egypt: in vain dost thou use many medicines; there is no healing for thee. 024 JER 046 012 The nations have heard of thy shame, and the earth is full of thy cry: for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, they are fallen both of them together. 024 JER 046 013 The word that the LORD spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt. 024 JER 046 014 Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say ye, stand forth, and prepare thee; for the sword hath devoured round about thee. 024 JER 046 015 Why are thy strong ones swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them. 024 JER 046 016 He made many to stumble, yea, they fell one 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 let the appointed time pass by. 024 JER 046 018 As I live, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so shall he come. 024 JER 046 019 O thou daughter that dwellest in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity: for Noph shall become a desolation, and shall be burnt up, without inhabitant. 024 JER 046 020 Egypt is a very fair heifer; [but] destruction out of the north is come, it is come. 024 JER 046 021 Also her hired men in the midst of her are like calves of the stall; for they also are turned back, they are fled away together, they did not stand: for the day of their calamity is come upon them, the time of their visitation. 024 JER 046 022 The sound thereof shall go like the 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 locusts, and are innumerable. 024 JER 046 024 The daughter of Egypt shall be put to shame; 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 Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods, and her kings; even Pharaoh, and 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 Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the LORD. 024 JER 046 027 But fear not thou, O Jacob my servant, neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, low, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid. 024 JER 046 028 Fear not thou, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD; for I am with thee: for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee, but I will not make a full end of thee; but I will correct thee with judgment, and will in no wise leave thee unpunished. 024 JER 047 001 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote Gaza. 024 JER 047 002 Thus saith the LORD: Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall become an overflowing stream, and shall overflow the land and all that is therein, the city and them that dwell therein: and the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl. 024 JER 047 003 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong ones, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers look not back to their children for feebleness of hands; 024 JER 047 004 because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Caphtor. 024 JER 047 005 Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is brought to nought, 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 ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard; rest, and be still. 024 JER 047 007 How canst thou be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given thee a charge? against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore, there hath he appointed it. 024 JER 048 001 Of Moab. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Woe unto Nebo! for it is laid waste; Kiriathaim is put to shame, it is taken: Misgab is put to shame and broken down. 024 JER 048 002 The praise of Moab is no more; in Heshbon they have devised evil against her, Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation. Thou also, O Madmen, shalt be brought to silence; the sword shall pursue thee. 024 JER 048 003 The sound of a cry from Horonaim, spoiling 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 by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping shall they go up; for in the going down of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction. 024 JER 048 006 Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath 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, 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 unto Moab, that she may fly and get her away: and her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell therein. 024 JER 048 010 Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD negligently, 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 remaineth in him, and his scent is not changed. 024 JER 048 012 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will send unto him them that pour off, and they shall pour him off; and they shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles in pieces. 024 JER 048 013 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Beth-el their confidence. 024 JER 048 014 How say ye, We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war? 024 JER 048 015 Moab is laid waste, and they are gone up into 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 round about him, bemoan him, and all ye that know his name; say, How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod! 024 JER 048 018 O thou daughter that dwellest in Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab is come up against thee, he hath destroyed thy strong holds. 024 JER 048 019 O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy: ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth; say, What hath been done? 024 JER 048 020 Moab is put to shame; for it is broken down: howl 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 Jahzah, and upon Mephaath; 024 JER 048 022 and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim; 024 JER 048 023 and upon Kiriathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon; 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 drunken; for he magnified himself against the LORD: and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision. 024 JER 048 027 For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for as often as thou speakest of him, thou waggest the head. 024 JER 048 028 O ye inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock; and be like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the holes mouth. 024 JER 048 029 We have heard of the pride of Moab, [that] he is very proud; his loftiness, and his pride, and his arrogancy, and the haughtiness of his heart. 024 JER 048 030 I know his wrath, saith the LORD, that it is nought; his boastings have wrought nothing. 024 JER 048 031 Therefore will I howl for Moab; yea, I will cry out for all Moab: for the men of Kir-heres shall they mourn. 024 JER 048 032 With more than the weeping of Jazer will I weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah: thy branches passed over the sea, they reached even to the sea of Jazer: upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage the spoiler is fallen. 024 JER 048 033 And gladness and joy is taken away, from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to cease from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; the shouting shall be no shouting. 024 JER 048 034 From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, even unto Jahaz have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto Horonaim, to Eglath-shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim also shall become desolate. 024 JER 048 035 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the LORD, him that offereth in the high place, and him that burneth incense to his gods. 024 JER 048 036 Therefore mine heart soundeth for Moab like pipes, and mine heart soundeth like pipes for the men of Kir-heres: therefore the abundance that he hath gotten is perished. 024 JER 048 037 For every head is bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands are cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth. 024 JER 048 038 On all the housetops of Moab and in the streets thereof there is lamentation every where: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the LORD. 024 JER 048 039 How is it broken down! [how] do they howl! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab become a derision and a dismaying to all that are round about him. 024 JER 048 040 For thus saith the LORD: Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against Moab. 024 JER 048 041 Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the heart of the mighty men of 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, are 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 up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon her, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the LORD. 024 JER 048 045 They that fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon: for a fire is gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and hath devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones. 024 JER 048 046 Woe unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh is undone: for thy sons are taken away captive, and thy daughters into captivity. 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 Of the children of Ammon. Thus saith the LORD: Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why then doth Malcam possess Gad, and his people dwell in the cities thereof? 024 JER 049 002 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon; and it shall become a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel possess them that did possess him, saith the LORD. 024 JER 049 003 Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled; cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth: lament, and run to and fro among the fences; for Malcam shall go into captivity, his priests and his princes together. 024 JER 049 004 Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, [saying], Who shall come unto me? 024 JER 049 005 Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, from all that are round about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth, and there shall be none to gather up him that wandereth. 024 JER 049 006 But afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith the LORD. 024 JER 049 007 Of Edom. Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is 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 shall visit him. 024 JER 049 009 If grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, would they not destroy till they had 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 spoiled, 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 to whom it pertained not to drink of the cup shall assuredly drink; and art thou he that shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink. 024 JER 049 013 For I have sworn by myself, saith the LORD, that Bozrah shall become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes. 024 JER 049 014 I have heard tidings from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, [saying], Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle. 024 JER 049 015 For, behold, I have made thee small among the nations, and despised among men. 024 JER 049 016 As for thy terribleness, the pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, 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 thence, saith the LORD; 024 JER 049 017 And Edom shall become an astonishment: every one that passeth by it shall he astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof. 024 JER 049 018 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD, no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of man sojourn therein. 024 JER 049 019 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the pride of Jordan against the strong habitation: but I will suddenly make him run away from her; and whoso is chosen, him will I appoint over her: for who is like me? and who will appoint me a time? and who is the shepherd that will stand before me? 024 JER 049 020 Therefore hear ye the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely they shall drag them away, [even] the little ones of the flock; surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them. 024 JER 049 021 The earth trembleth at the noise of their fall; there is a cry, the noise whereof is heard in the Red Sea. 024 JER 049 022 Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread out his wings against Bozrah: and the heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs. 024 JER 049 023 Of Damascus. Hamath is ashamed, and Arpad; for they have heard evil tidings, they are melted away: there is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet. 024 JER 049 024 Damascus is waxed feeble, she turneth herself to flee, and trembling hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her, as of a woman in travail. 024 JER 049 025 How is the city of praise not forsaken, 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 brought to silence 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 devour the palaces of Ben-hadad. 024 JER 049 028 Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote: Thus saith the LORD: Arise ye, go up to Kedar, and spoil the children of the east. 024 JER 049 029 Their tents and their flocks shall they take; they shall carry away for themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels: and they shall cry unto them, Terror on every side. 024 JER 049 030 Flee ye, wander far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you. 024 JER 049 031 Arise, get you up unto a nation that is at ease, 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 unto all winds them that have the corners [of their hair] polled; and I will bring their calamity from every side of them, saith the LORD. 024 JER 049 033 And Hazor shall be a dwelling place of jackals, a desolation for ever: no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of man sojourn therein. 024 JER 049 034 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning 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 whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come. 024 JER 049 037 And 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 thence king and princes, saith the LORD. 024 JER 049 039 But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the LORD. 024 JER 050 001 The word that the LORD spake concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by Jeremiah the prophet. 024 JER 050 002 Declare ye among the nations and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is dismayed; her images are put to shame, her idols are dismayed. 024 JER 050 003 For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they are fled, they are gone, 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; they shall go on their way weeping, and shall seek the LORD their God. 024 JER 050 005 They shall inquire concerning Zion with their faces thitherward, [saying], Come ye, and join yourselves to the LORD in an everlasting covenant that shall not be forgotten. 024 JER 050 006 My people hath 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 resting place. 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 out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he-goats before the flocks. 024 JER 050 009 For, lo, I will stir up and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of an expert mighty man; none shall return in vain. 024 JER 050 010 And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the LORD. 024 JER 050 011 Because ye are glad, because ye rejoice, O ye that plunder mine heritage, because ye are wanton as an heifer that treadeth out [the corn], and neigh as strong horses; 024 JER 050 012 your mother shall be sore ashamed; she that bare you shall be confounded: behold, she shall be the hindermost of the nations, 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 Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about, 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 round about; she hath submitted herself; her bulwarks are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the LORD; take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto 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 Nebuchadrezzar 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 pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon the hills of Ephraim and in 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 leave as a remnant. 024 JER 050 021 Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: slay 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 the Lord, the LORD of hosts, hath a work [to do] 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 bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation. 024 JER 050 028 The voice of them that flee and escape out of 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 them that bend the bow; camp against her round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel. 024 JER 050 030 Therefore shall her young men fall in her streets, and all her men of war shall be brought to silence in that day, saith the LORD. 024 JER 050 031 Behold, I am against thee, O thou proud one, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee. 024 JER 050 032 And the proud one shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all that are round about him. 024 JER 050 033 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: The children of Israel and the children of Judah are oppressed together: and all that took them captives hold them fast; they refuse to let them go. 024 JER 050 034 Their redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name: he shall throughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the earth, 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 boasters, and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men, and they shall be dismayed. 024 JER 050 037 A sword is upon their horse, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her, and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures, and they shall be robbed. 024 JER 050 038 A drought is upon her waters, and they shall be dried up: for it is a land of graven images, and they are mad upon idols. 024 JER 050 039 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wolves shall dwell there, and the ostriches shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation. 024 JER 050 040 As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD; so shall no man dwell there, neither shall any son of man sojourn therein. 024 JER 050 041 Behold, a people cometh from the north; and a great nation, and many kings shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth. 024 JER 050 042 They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea, and they ride upon horses; every one set in array, as man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon. 024 JER 050 043 The king of Babylon hath heard the fame of them, and his hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken 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 pride of Jordan against the strong habitation: but I will suddenly make them run away from her; and whoso is chosen, him will I appoint over her: for who is like me? and who will appoint me a time? and who is the 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 they shall drag them away, [even] the little ones of the flock; surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them. 024 JER 050 046 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth trembleth, 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 Lebkamai, a destroying wind. 024 JER 051 002 And I will send unto Babylon strangers, that shall fan her; and they shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about. 024 JER 051 003 Let not the archer bend his bow, and let him not lift himself up in his coat of mail: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host. 024 JER 051 004 And they shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust through in her streets. 024 JER 051 005 For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel. 024 JER 051 006 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; be not cut off in her iniquity: for it is the time of the LORD’S vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence. 024 JER 051 007 Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD’S hand; that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations are mad. 024 JER 051 008 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so 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 unto heaven, and is lifted up 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 sharp the arrows; hold firm the shields: the LORD hath stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes; because his device is against Babylon, to destroy it: for it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple. 024 JER 051 012 Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the LORD hath both devised and done that which he spake concerning the inhabitants of Babylon. 024 JER 051 013 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, 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 the cankerworm; and they shall lift up 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 by his understanding hath he stretched out the heavens: 024 JER 051 016 when he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries. 024 JER 051 017 Every man is become brutish [and is] without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. 024 JER 051 018 They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. 024 JER 051 019 The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and [Israel] is the tribe of his inheritance: the LORD of hosts is his name. 024 JER 051 020 Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: and 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 him that rideth therein; 024 JER 051 022 and with thee will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces the old man and the youth; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid; 024 JER 051 023 and with thee will I break in pieces the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke [of oxen]; and with thee will I break in pieces governors and deputies. 024 JER 051 024 And I will render unto 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 mine 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 Ashkenaz: appoint a marshal against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough cankerworm. 024 JER 051 028 Prepare against her the nations, the kings of the Medes, the governors thereof, and all the deputies thereof, and all the land of his dominion. 024 JER 051 029 And the land trembleth and is in pain: for the purposes of the LORD against Babylon do stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant. 024 JER 051 030 The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they remain in their strong holds; their might hath failed; they are become as women: her dwelling places are set on fire; her bars are broken. 024 JER 051 031 One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to shew the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter: 024 JER 051 032 and the passages are surprised, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted. 024 JER 051 033 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing-floor at the time when it is trodden; yet a little while, and the time of harvest shall come for her. 024 JER 051 034 Nebuchadrezzar 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 maw with my delicates; 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 be 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 fountain dry. 024 JER 051 037 And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling place for jackals, an astonishment, and an hissing, without inhabitant. 024 JER 051 038 They shall roar together like young lions; they shall growl as lions’ whelps. 024 JER 051 039 When they are heated, I will make their feast, and I will make them drunken, 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 he-goats. 024 JER 051 041 How is Sheshach taken! and the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations! 024 JER 051 042 The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof. 024 JER 051 043 Her cities are become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby. 024 JER 051 044 And I will do judgment upon Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up; and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall. 024 JER 051 045 My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and save yourselves every man from the fierce anger of the LORD. 024 JER 051 046 And let not your heart faint, neither fear ye for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; for a rumour shall 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 do judgment upon the graven images of Babylon, and her whole land shall be ashamed; 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 therein, shall sing for joy over Babylon; for the spoilers shall come unto 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 land. 024 JER 051 050 Ye that have escaped the sword, go ye, stand not still; remember the LORD from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind. 024 JER 051 051 We are ashamed, because we have heard reproach; confusion hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD’S house. 024 JER 051 052 Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will do 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 unto her, saith the LORD. 024 JER 051 054 The sound of a cry from Babylon, and of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans! 024 JER 051 055 For the LORD spoileth Babylon, and destroyeth out of her the great voice; and their waves roar like many waters, the noise of their voice is uttered: 024 JER 051 056 for the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, their bows are broken in pieces: for the LORD is a God of recompences, he shall surely requite. 024 JER 051 057 And I will make drunk her princes and her wise men, her governors and her deputies, 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 overthrown, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the peoples shall labour for vanity, and the nations for 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 Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was chief chamberlain. 024 JER 051 060 And Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written concerning Babylon. 024 JER 051 061 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, then see that thou read all these words, 024 JER 051 062 and say, O LORD, thou hast spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that none shall dwell therein, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever. 024 JER 051 063 And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of 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 again because of 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 sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. 024 JER 052 003 For through the anger of the LORD did it come to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence: and 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 Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about. 024 JER 052 005 So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. 024 JER 052 006 In the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land. 024 JER 052 007 Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of 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 against the city round about: ) and they went by the way of the Arabah. 024 JER 052 008 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after 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 up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and 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 And he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, 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 king Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, which stood before the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem: 024 JER 052 013 and he burned the house of the LORD, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned he with fire. 024 JER 052 014 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about. 024 JER 052 015 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest sort of the people, and the residue of the people that were left in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude. 024 JER 052 016 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen. 024 JER 052 017 And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases and the brasen sea that were in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldeans break in pieces, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon. 024 JER 052 018 The pots also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away. 024 JER 052 019 And the cups, and the firepans, and the basons, and the pots, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the bowls; 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, the one sea, and the twelve brasen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight. 024 JER 052 021 And as for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow. 024 JER 052 022 And a chapiter of brass was upon it; and the height of the one chapiter was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and the second pillar also had like unto these, and pomegranates. 024 JER 052 023 And there were ninety and six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were an hundred upon the network round about. 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 and out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war; and seven men of them that saw the king’s face, which were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city. 024 JER 052 026 And 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 at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land. 024 JER 052 028 This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty: 024 JER 052 029 in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons: 024 JER 052 030 in the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred 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 Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the [first] year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison; 024 JER 052 032 and he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon. 024 JER 052 033 and he changed his prison garments, and did eat bread before him continually all the days of his life. 024 JER 052 034 and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance 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 solitary, 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 tributary! 025 LAM 001 002 She weepeth sore 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 within the straits. 025 LAM 001 004 The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn assembly; all her gates are desolate, her priests do sigh: her virgins are afflicted, and she herself is in bitterness. 025 LAM 001 005 Her adversaries are become the head, her enemies prosper; for the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her young children are gone into captivity before the adversary. 025 LAM 001 006 And from the daughter of Zion all her majesty is 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 remembereth in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that were from the days of old: when her people fell into the hand of the adversary, and none did help her, the adversaries saw her, they did mock at her desolations. 025 LAM 001 008 Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is become as an unclean thing: all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward. 025 LAM 001 009 Her filthiness was in her skirts; she remembered not her latter end; therefore is she come down wonderfully; she hath no comforter: behold, O LORD, 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 are entered into her sanctuary, concerning 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 meat to refresh the soul: see, O LORD, and behold; for I am become vile. 025 LAM 001 012 Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the LORD hath afflicted [me] in the day of his fierce anger. 025 LAM 001 013 From on high 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, they are come up upon my neck; he hath made my strength to fail: the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, against whom I am not able to stand. 025 LAM 001 015 The Lord hath set at nought all my mighty men in the midst of me; he hath called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men: the Lord hath trodden as in a winepress the virgin daughter of Judah. 025 LAM 001 016 For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water; because the comforter that should refresh my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy hath prevailed. 025 LAM 001 017 Zion spreadeth forth her hands; there is none to comfort her; the LORD hath commanded concerning Jacob, that they that are round about him should be his adversaries: Jerusalem is among them as an unclean thing. 025 LAM 001 018 The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: hear, I pray you, all ye peoples, 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 mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought them meat to refresh their souls. 025 LAM 001 020 Behold, O LORD; for I am in distress; my bowels are troubled; mine 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 mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done it: thou wilt bring the day that thou hast proclaimed, and they shall be like unto me. 025 LAM 001 022 Let all their wickedness come before thee; and do unto them, as thou hast done unto 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! he hath cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and hath not remembered 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 profaned the kingdom and the princes thereof. 025 LAM 002 003 He hath cut off in fierce anger all the horn of Israel; he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy: and he hath burned up Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about. 025 LAM 002 004 He hath bent his bow like an enemy, he hath stood with his right hand as an adversary, and hath slain all that were pleasant to the eye: in the tent of the daughter of Zion he hath poured out his fury like fire. 025 LAM 002 005 The Lord is become as an enemy, he hath swallowed up Israel; he hath swallowed up all her palaces, he hath destroyed his strong holds: and he hath multiplied 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 place of assembly: the LORD hath caused solemn assembly and sabbath to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger 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 assembly. 025 LAM 002 008 The LORD hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion; he hath stretched out the line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: but he hath made the rampart and wall to lament; they languish 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 nations where the law is not; yea, her prophets find no vision from the LORD. 025 LAM 002 010 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, they 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 Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the young children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city. 025 LAM 002 012 They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when they swoon as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul is poured out into their mothers’ bosom. 025 LAM 002 013 What shall I testify unto thee? what 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 visions for thee of vanity and foolishness; and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to bring again thy captivity: but have seen for thee burdens of vanity and causes of banishment. 025 LAM 002 015 All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, [saying]: Is this the city that men called The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth? 025 LAM 002 016 All thine enemies have opened their mouth wide 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 devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old; he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused the enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath exalted the horn of thine adversaries. 025 LAM 002 018 Their heart cried unto the Lord: O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night; give thyself no respite; let not the apple of thine eye cease. 025 LAM 002 019 Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches; pour out thine 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 top of every street. 025 LAM 002 020 See, O LORD, and behold, to whom thou hast done thus! shall the women eat their fruit, the children that are dandled in the hands? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord? 025 LAM 002 021 The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets; my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword: thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; thou hast slaughtered, [and] not pitied. 025 LAM 002 022 Thou hast called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side, and there was none that escaped or remained in the day of the LORD’S anger: those that I have dandled and brought up hath mine 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 caused me to walk in darkness and not in light. 025 LAM 003 003 Surely against me he turneth his hand again and again 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 builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail. 025 LAM 003 006 He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead. 025 LAM 003 007 He hath fenced me about, that I cannot go forth; he hath made my chain heavy. 025 LAM 003 008 Yea, when I cry and call for help, he shutteth out my prayer. 025 LAM 003 009 He hath fenced up my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked. 025 LAM 003 010 He is unto me as a bear lying in wait, 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 shafts of his quiver to enter into my reins. 025 LAM 003 014 I am become a derision to all my people; and their song all the day. 025 LAM 003 015 He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath sated me 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 forgat prosperity. 025 LAM 003 018 And I said, My strength is perished, and mine expectation from the LORD. 025 LAM 003 019 Remember mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. 025 LAM 003 020 My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is bowed down within 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 unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. 025 LAM 003 026 It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. 025 LAM 003 027 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth. 025 LAM 003 028 Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he hath laid it upon him. 025 LAM 003 029 Let him put his mouth in the dust; if so be there may he hope. 025 LAM 003 030 Let him give his cheek to him that smiteth him; let him be filled full with reproach. 025 LAM 003 031 For the Lord will not cast off for ever. 025 LAM 003 032 For though he cause 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 foot 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 cometh there not evil and good? 025 LAM 003 039 Wherefore 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 unto 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 pursued 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 peoples. 025 LAM 003 046 all our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us. 025 LAM 003 047 Fear and the pit are come upon us, devastation and destruction. 025 LAM 003 048 Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people. 025 LAM 003 049 Mine eye poureth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission, 025 LAM 003 050 Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven. 025 LAM 003 051 Mine eye affecteth my soul, because of all the daughters of my city. 025 LAM 003 052 They have chased me sore like a bird, that are mine enemies without cause. 025 LAM 003 053 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast a stone upon me. 025 LAM 003 054 Waters flowed over mine head; I said, I am cut off. 025 LAM 003 055 I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the lowest dungeon. 025 LAM 003 056 Thou heardest my voice; hide not thine 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 devices against me. 025 LAM 003 061 Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their devices against me; 025 LAM 003 062 The lips of those that rose up against me, and their imagination against me all the day. 025 LAM 003 063 Behold thou their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their song. 025 LAM 003 064 Thou wilt render unto them a recompence, O LORD, according to the work of their hands. 025 LAM 003 065 Thou wilt give them hardness of heart, thy curse unto them. 025 LAM 003 066 Thou wilt pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of the LORD. 025 LAM 004 001 How is the gold become dim! [how] is the most pure gold changed! the stones of the sanctuary are poured out at the top 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 jackals draw out the breast, they give suck to 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 sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, and no man breaketh it unto them. 025 LAM 004 005 They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dung-hills. 025 LAM 004 006 For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands were laid upon her. 025 LAM 004 007 Her nobles were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was as 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 be slain with the sword are better than they that be slain with hunger; for these pine away, stricken through, for want of the fruits of the field. 025 LAM 004 010 The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children; they were their meat 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 he hath kindled a fire in Zion, which hath devoured the foundations thereof. 025 LAM 004 012 The kings of the earth believed not, neither all the inhabitants of the world, that the adversary and the enemy should enter into the gates of Jerusalem. 025 LAM 004 013 [It is] because of 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 wander as blind men in the streets, that are polluted with blood, so that men cannot touch their garments. 025 LAM 004 015 Depart ye, they cried unto them, Unclean! depart, depart, touch not: when they fled away and wandered, men said among the nations, They shall no more sojourn [here]. 025 LAM 004 016 The anger of the LORD hath divided them; he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, they favoured not the elders. 025 LAM 004 017 Our eyes do yet fail [in looking] for our vain help; in our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save. 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 pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the heaven: they chased 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 nations. 025 LAM 004 021 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz: the cup shall pass through unto thee also; thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked. 025 LAM 004 022 The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity: he will visit thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will discover thy sins. 025 LAM 005 001 Remember, O what is LORD, come upon us: behold, and see our reproach. 025 LAM 005 002 Our inheritance is turned unto strangers, our houses unto aliens. 025 LAM 005 003 We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows. 025 LAM 005 004 We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us. 025 LAM 005 005 Our pursuers are upon our necks: we are weary, 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 rule over us: there is none to deliver us out of their hand. 025 LAM 005 009 We get our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness. 025 LAM 005 010 Our skin is black like an oven because of the burning heat of famine. 025 LAM 005 011 They ravished the women in Zion, the maidens in the cities of Judah. 025 LAM 005 012 Princes were hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured. 025 LAM 005 013 The young men bare the mill, and the children stumbled 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 is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning. 025 LAM 005 016 The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us! for we have sinned. 025 LAM 005 017 For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim; 025 LAM 005 018 For the mountain of Zion, which is desolate; the foxes walk upon it. 025 LAM 005 019 Thou, O LORD, abidest for ever; thy throne is from generation to generation. 025 LAM 005 020 Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, [and] forsake us so long time? 025 LAM 005 021 Turn thou us unto 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 wroth against 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 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 unto 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 stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with a fire infolding itself, and a brightness round about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire. 026 EZE 001 005 And out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. 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 of them 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 [thus]; 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 had the face of a man; and they four had the face of a lion on the right side; and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four had also the face of an eagle. 026 EZE 001 011 And their faces and their wings were separate above; 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: whither the spirit was to go, they went; they turned not when they went. 026 EZE 001 013 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches; it went up and down among the living creatures: and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. 026 EZE 001 014 And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning. 026 EZE 001 015 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth beside the living creatures, for each of the four faces thereof. 026 EZE 001 016 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel. 026 EZE 001 017 When they went, they went upon their four sides: they turned not when they went. 026 EZE 001 018 As for their rings, they were high and dreadful; and they four had their rings full of eyes round about. 026 EZE 001 019 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. 026 EZE 001 020 Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went; thither was the spirit to go: and the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature 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 beside them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. 026 EZE 001 022 And over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of a firmament, like 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, like the voice of the Almighty, a noise of tumult like the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings. 026 EZE 001 025 And there was a voice above the firmament that was over their heads: when they stood, they 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 a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it above. 026 EZE 001 027 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upward; and from the appearance of his loins and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness round about him. 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 round about. 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 that spake. 026 EZE 002 001 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee. 026 EZE 002 002 And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard him that spake unto me. 026 EZE 002 003 And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to nations that are rebellious, which have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day. 026 EZE 002 004 And the children are impudent and stiffhearted; I do send thee unto them: and thou shalt say unto 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 be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house. 026 EZE 002 007 And thou shalt speak my words unto 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 unto thee; be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee. 026 EZE 002 009 And when I looked, behold, an hand was put forth unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein; 026 EZE 002 010 And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe. 026 EZE 003 001 And he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go, speak unto the house of Israel. 026 EZE 003 002 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the roll. 026 EZE 003 003 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll 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 unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto 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 peoples of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, if I sent thee to them, they would hearken unto thee. 026 EZE 003 007 But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are of an hard forehead and of a stiff heart. 026 EZE 003 008 Behold, I have made thy face hard against their faces, and thy forehead hard 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 be a rebellious house. 026 EZE 003 010 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shalt speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears. 026 EZE 003 011 And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto 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 the voice of a great rushing, [saying], Blessed be the glory of the LORD from his place. 026 EZE 003 013 And [I heard] the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even 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, and the hand of the LORD was strong upon me. 026 EZE 003 015 Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river Chebar, and to where they dwelt; and I sat there astonied 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 unto me, saying, 026 EZE 003 017 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. 026 EZE 003 018 When I say unto 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 wilt I require at thine hand. 026 EZE 003 019 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not 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 righteous deeds which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 026 EZE 003 021 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and thou hast delivered thy soul. 026 EZE 003 022 And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said unto 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 Chebar: and I fell on my face. 026 EZE 003 024 Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet; and he spake with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine house. 026 EZE 003 025 But thou, son of man, behold, they shall lay bands 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 unto 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 pourtray upon it a city, even Jerusalem: 026 EZE 004 002 and lay siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast up a mount against it; set camps also against it, and plant battering rams against it round about. 026 EZE 004 003 And take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face toward 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 Moreover lie thou 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 appointed the years of their iniquity to be unto thee a number of days, even three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. 026 EZE 004 006 And again, when thou hast accomplished these, thou shalt lie on thy right side, and shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah: forty days, each day for a year, have I appointed it unto thee. 026 EZE 004 007 And thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with thine arm uncovered; and thou shalt prophesy against it. 026 EZE 004 008 And, behold, I lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast accomplished the days of thy siege. 026 EZE 004 009 Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof; [according to] the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, even three hundred and ninety days, shalt thou eat thereof. 026 EZE 004 010 And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it. 026 EZE 004 011 And thou shalt drink 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 in their sight with dung that cometh out of man. 026 EZE 004 013 And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations whither 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 up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn of beasts; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth; 026 EZE 004 015 Then he said unto me, See, I have given thee cow’s dung for man’s dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread thereon. 026 EZE 004 016 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with carefulness; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment: 026 EZE 004 017 that they may want bread and water, and be astonied one with another, and pine away in their iniquity. 026 EZE 005 001 And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp sword, as a barber’s razor shalt thou take it unto thee, and shalt cause it to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair. 026 EZE 005 002 A third part shalt thou burn in the fire in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled; and thou shalt take a third part, and smite with the sword round about it; and a third part thou shalt scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them. 026 EZE 005 003 And thou shalt take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts. 026 EZE 005 004 And of these again shalt thou take, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; therefrom shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel. 026 EZE 005 005 Thus saith the Lord GOD: This is Jerusalem: I have set her in the midst of the nations, and countries are round about her. 026 EZE 005 006 And she hath rebelled against my judgments in doing wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have rejected my judgments, and as for my statutes, they have not walked in them. 026 EZE 005 007 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because ye are turbulent more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you; 026 EZE 005 008 therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I, even I, am against thee; and I 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 whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine 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 unto all the winds. 026 EZE 005 011 Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish [thee]; neither shall mine eye spare, and I also will have no 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 round about thee; and a third part I will scatter unto all the winds, and will draw out a sword after them. 026 EZE 005 013 Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will satisfy my fury upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury upon them. 026 EZE 005 014 Moreover I will make thee a desolation and a reproach, among the nations that are round about 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 astonishment, unto the nations that are round about 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, that are for destruction, 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 and I will 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 unto me, saying, 026 EZE 006 002 Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy unto 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 watercourses 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 your altars shall become desolate, and your sun-images shall be broken: and I will cast down your slain men before your idols. 026 EZE 006 005 And I will lay the carcases of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars. 026 EZE 006 006 In all your dwelling places 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 sun-images may be hewn 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, in that ye shall have some that 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 whither they shall be carried captives, how that I have been broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations. 026 EZE 006 010 And they shall know that I am the LORD: I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them. 026 EZE 006 011 Thus saith the Lord GOD: Smite with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas! because of 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 of 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 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savour to all their idols. 026 EZE 006 014 And I will stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their habitations: and they shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 007 001 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 026 EZE 007 002 And thou, son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto 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 upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways; and I will bring upon thee all thine abominations. 026 EZE 007 004 And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will bring thy ways upon thee, and thine 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, it cometh. 026 EZE 007 006 An end is come, the end is come, it awaketh against thee; behold, it cometh. 026 EZE 007 007 Thy doom is come unto thee, O inhabitant of the land: the time is come, the day is near; [a day of] tumult, and not [of] joyful shouting, upon the mountains. 026 EZE 007 008 Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger against thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways; and I will bring upon thee all thine abominations. 026 EZE 007 009 And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will bring upon thee according to thy ways, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I the LORD do smite. 026 EZE 007 010 Behold, the day, behold, it cometh: thy doom is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded. 026 EZE 007 011 Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness; none of them [shall remain], nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth: neither shall there be eminency among 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 the multitude thereof. 026 EZE 007 013 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they be yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, none shall return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life. 026 EZE 007 014 They have blown the trumpet, and have made all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof. 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 in 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 as an unclean thing; 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 bowels: because it hath been 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] their detestable things therein: therefore have I made it unto them as an unclean thing. 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 profane it. 026 EZE 007 022 My face will I turn also from them, and they shall profane my secret [place]: and robbers shall enter into it, and profane it. 026 EZE 007 023 Make the chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence. 026 EZE 007 024 Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pride of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be profaned. 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; and they shall seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients. 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 unto 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 in the sixth year, in the sixth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month, as I sat in mine 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 and downward, fire: and from his loins and 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 mine 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 gate of the inner [court] 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 appearance that I saw in the plain. 026 EZE 008 005 Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry. 026 EZE 008 006 And he said unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel do commit here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but thou shalt again see yet other great 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 unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door. 026 EZE 008 009 And he said unto me, Go in, and see 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, pourtrayed upon the wall round about. 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 the odour of the cloud of incense went up. 026 EZE 008 012 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in his chambers of imagery? for they say, the LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth. 026 EZE 008 013 He said also unto me, Thou shalt again see yet other great abominations which 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 the women weeping for Tammuz. 026 EZE 008 015 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen [this], O son of man? thou shalt again see yet 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 unto 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 turned again 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: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them. 026 EZE 009 001 Then he cried in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause ye them that have charge over the city to draw near, every man with his destroying weapon in his hand. 026 EZE 009 002 And behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lieth toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man in the midst of them clothed in 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 was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man clothed in linen, which had the writer’s inkhorn by his side. 026 EZE 009 004 And the LORD said unto 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 be done in the midst thereof. 026 EZE 009 005 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye through the city after him, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: 026 EZE 009 006 slay utterly the old man, the young man and the maiden, 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 ancient men which were before the house. 026 EZE 009 007 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and smote in the city. 026 EZE 009 008 And it came to pass, while they were smiting, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem? 026 EZE 009 009 Then said he unto 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 wresting [of judgment]: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not. 026 EZE 009 010 And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way upon their head. 026 EZE 009 011 And behold, the man clothed in linen, which 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 over the head of the cherubim, there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne. 026 EZE 010 002 And he spake unto the man clothed in linen, and said, Go in between the whirling [wheels], even under the cherub, and fill both thine hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. And he went in 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 And the glory of the LORD mounted 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 wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaketh. 026 EZE 010 006 And it came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the whirling [wheels], from between the cherubim, that he went in, and stood beside a wheel. 026 EZE 010 007 And the cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim unto the fire that was between the cherubim, and took [thereof], and put it into the hands of him that was clothed in 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 I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone. 026 EZE 010 010 And as for their appearance, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been within 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 whither 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 round about, [even] the wheels that they four had. 026 EZE 010 013 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, the whirling [wheels]. 026 EZE 010 014 And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of the 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 mounted up: this is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar. 026 EZE 010 016 And when the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them: and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also turned not from beside them. 026 EZE 010 017 When they stood, these stood; and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them: for the spirit of the living creature was in them. 026 EZE 010 018 And the glory of the LORD went forth from over 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 forth, and the wheels beside them: and they 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 creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim. 026 EZE 010 021 Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings. 026 EZE 010 022 And as for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves; they went every one straight forward. 026 EZE 011 001 Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD’S house, which looketh eastward: and behold, at the door of the gate five and twenty men; and I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people. 026 EZE 011 002 And he said unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise iniquity, and that give wicked counsel in this city. 026 EZE 011 003 which say, [The time] is not near to build houses: this [city] is the caldron, and we be 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 he said unto me, Speak, Thus saith the LORD: Thus have ye said, O house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind. 026 EZE 011 006 Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof 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 ye shall be brought forth out of the midst of it. 026 EZE 011 008 Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword upon you, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 011 009 And I will bring you forth out of the midst thereof, 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 thereof; 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 have ye executed my judgments, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you. 026 EZE 011 013 And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I 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 And the word of the LORD came unto 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, all of them, [are they] unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the LORD; unto us is this land given for a possession: 026 EZE 011 016 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they are come. 026 EZE 011 017 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will gather you from the peoples, 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 thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence. 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 mine 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 bring their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 011 022 Then did the cherubim lift up their wings, and the wheels were 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 And the spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the 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 spake unto them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shewed me. 026 EZE 012 001 The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying, 026 EZE 012 002 Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of the rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not, which have ears to hear, and hear not; for they are a rebellious house. 026 EZE 012 003 Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house. 026 EZE 012 004 And thou shalt bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth thyself at even in their sight, as when men go forth into exile. 026 EZE 012 005 Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby. 026 EZE 012 006 In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulder, and carry it forth in the dark; thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel. 026 EZE 012 007 And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for removing, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand; I brought it forth in the dark, and bare it upon my shoulder in their sight. 026 EZE 012 008 And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me, saying, 026 EZE 012 009 Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou? 026 EZE 012 010 Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: This burden [concerneth] the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are. 026 EZE 012 011 Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall go into exile, into captivity. 026 EZE 012 012 And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the dark, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, because he shall 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 round 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 disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through 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 nations whither 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 with carefulness; 026 EZE 012 019 and say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein. 026 EZE 012 020 And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be a desolation; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 012 021 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 026 EZE 012 022 Son of man, what is this 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 unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision. 026 EZE 012 024 For there shall be no more 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 be performed; it shall be no more deferred: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I speak 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 times that are far off. 026 EZE 012 028 Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: There shall none of my words be deferred any more, but the word which I shall speak shall be performed, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 013 001 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 026 EZE 013 002 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own heart, Hear ye the word of the LORD; 026 EZE 013 003 Thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! 026 EZE 013 004 O Israel, thy prophets have been like foxes in the waste places. 026 EZE 013 005 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the fence 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, that say, The LORD saith; and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made men to hope that the word should be confirmed. 026 EZE 013 007 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith; albeit 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 mine hand shall be against the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the council 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 is no peace; and when one buildeth up a wall, behold, they daub it with untempered [mortar]: 026 EZE 013 011 say unto them which 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 is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith 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 mine anger, and great hailstones in 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 the foundation thereof shall be discovered: and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 013 015 Thus will I accomplish my fury upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered [mortar]; and I will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it; 026 EZE 013 016 [to wit], the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 013 017 And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which 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 pillows upon all elbows, and make kerchiefs for the head of [persons of] every stature to hunt souls! will ye hunt the souls of my people, and save souls alive for yourselves? 026 EZE 013 019 And ye have profaned 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 hearken unto lies. 026 EZE 013 020 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make [them] fly, and I will tear them from your arms; and I 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 be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 013 022 Because with lies ye have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, and be saved alive: 026 EZE 013 023 therefore ye shall no more see vanity, nor divine divinations: and 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 unto me, and sat before me. 026 EZE 014 002 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 026 EZE 014 003 Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be inquired of at all by them? 026 EZE 014 004 Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Every man of the house of Israel that taketh his idols into his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him therein 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 unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Return ye, 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 strangers that sojourn in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and taketh his idols into his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet to inquire for himself of 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 an astonishment, for 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 and speaketh a word, 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 their iniquity: the iniquity of the prophet shall be even as the iniquity of him that seeketh [unto him]; 026 EZE 014 011 that the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither defile themselves 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 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 026 EZE 014 013 Son of man, when a land sinneth against me by committing a trespass, and I stretch out mine hand upon it, and break the staff of the bread thereof, and send famine upon it, and cut off from it man and beast; 026 EZE 014 014 though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 014 015 If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, 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 from it man and beast; 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 but deliver their own souls by their righteousness. 026 EZE 014 021 For thus saith the Lord GOD: How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beasts, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast? 026 EZE 014 022 Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be carried forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto 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 way 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 unto me, saying, 026 EZE 015 002 Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, the vine branch which is among the trees of the forest? 026 EZE 015 003 Shall wood be taken thereof to make any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon? 026 EZE 015 004 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel: the fire hath devoured both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned; is it profitable for any work? 026 EZE 015 005 Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned, shall it yet be meet for any work? 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 forth from the fire, but the 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 unto 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 unto Jerusalem: Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of the Canaanite; the Amorite was thy father, and thy mother was 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 None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, for that thy person was abhorred, in the day that thou wast born. 026 EZE 016 006 And when I passed by thee, and saw thee weltering in thy blood, I said unto thee, [Though thou art] in thy blood, live; yea, I said unto thee, [Though thou art] in thy blood, live. 026 EZE 016 007 I caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou didst increase and wax great, and thou attainedst to excellent ornament; thy breasts were fashioned, and thine hair was grown; yet 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 sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine. 026 EZE 016 009 Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil. 026 EZE 016 010 I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with sealskin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and 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 ring upon thy nose, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head. 026 EZE 016 013 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper unto royal estate. 026 EZE 016 014 And thy renown went forth among the nations for thy beauty; for it was perfect through my majesty which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 016 015 But thou didst trust in thy beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy whoredoms on every one that passed by; his it was. 026 EZE 016 016 And thou didst take of thy garments, and madest for thee high places decked with divers colours, and playedst the harlot upon them: [the like things] shall not come, neither shall it be so. 026 EZE 016 017 Thou didst also take thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest for thee images of men, and didst play the harlot with them; 026 EZE 016 018 and thou tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them, and didst set mine oil and mine incense before them. 026 EZE 016 019 My bread also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou didst even set it 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 unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Were thy whoredoms a small matter, 026 EZE 016 021 that thou hast slain my children, and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through [the fire] unto them? 026 EZE 016 022 And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast weltering in thy blood. 026 EZE 016 023 And it is come to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord GOD, ) 026 EZE 016 024 that thou hast built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee a lofty place in every street. 026 EZE 016 025 Thou hast built thy lofty place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty an abomination, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredom. 026 EZE 016 026 Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians, thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast multiplied thy whoredom, to provoke me to anger. 026 EZE 016 027 Behold therefore, I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary [food], and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of thy lewd way. 026 EZE 016 028 Thou hast played the harlot also with the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet thou wast not satisfied. 026 EZE 016 029 Thou hast moreover multiplied thy whoredom in the land of Canaan, unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith. 026 EZE 016 030 How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman; 026 EZE 016 031 in that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thy lofty place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire. 026 EZE 016 032 A wife that committeth adultery! that taketh strangers instead of her husband! 026 EZE 016 033 They give gifts to all harlots: but thou gavest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and bribest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredoms. 026 EZE 016 034 And the contrary is in thee from [other] women in thy whoredoms, in that none followeth thee to commit whoredom: and whereas thou givest hire, and no hire is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary. 026 EZE 016 035 Wherefore, 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 discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers; and because of all the idols of thy abominations, and for the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them; 026 EZE 016 037 therefore behold, 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 against thee on every side, and will discover thy nakedness unto 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 bring upon thee the blood of fury and jealousy. 026 EZE 016 039 I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and break down thy lofty places; and they shall strip thee of thy clothes, and take thy fair jewels: and they shall leave thee naked and bare. 026 EZE 016 040 They shall also bring up an assembly against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords. 026 EZE 016 041 And they shall burn thine 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 shalt also give no hire any more. 026 EZE 016 042 So will I satisfy my fury upon thee, 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 fretted me in all these things; therefore behold, I also will bring thy way upon thine head, saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not commit [this] lewdness above all thine 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 loatheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, which loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite. 026 EZE 016 046 And thine elder sister is Samaria, that dwelleth at thy left hand, she and her daughters: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters. 026 EZE 016 047 Yet hast thou not walked in their ways, nor done after their abominations; but, as [if that were] a very little [thing], thou wast more corrupt 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 prosperous ease 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 thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters by all thine abominations which thou hast done. 026 EZE 016 052 Thou also, bear thine own shame, in that thou hast given judgment for thy sisters; through thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou also confounded, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters. 026 EZE 016 053 And I will turn again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them: 026 EZE 016 054 that thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be ashamed because of all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them. 026 EZE 016 055 And thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, and thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate. 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 the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, which do despite unto thee round about. 026 EZE 016 058 Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith the LORD. 026 EZE 016 059 For thus saith the Lord GOD: I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which 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 unto thee an everlasting covenant. 026 EZE 016 061 Then shalt thou remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder [sisters] and thy younger: and I will give them unto 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 have forgiven thee all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 017 001 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 026 EZE 017 002 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel; 026 EZE 017 003 and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD: A great eagle with great wings and long pinions, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar: 026 EZE 017 004 he cropped off the topmost of the young twigs thereof, and carried it into a land of traffic; 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 soil; he placed it beside many waters; he 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 the roots thereof 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 its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, from the beds of its plantation, that he might water it. 026 EZE 017 008 It was planted in a good soil by many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine. 026 EZE 017 009 Say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it may wither; that all its fresh springing leaves may wither; even without great power or much people to pluck it up by the roots thereof? 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 beds where it grew. 026 EZE 017 011 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto 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 came to Jerusalem, and took the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and brought them to him to Babylon; 026 EZE 017 013 and he took of the seed royal, and made a covenant with him; he also brought him under an oath, and took away 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 of 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 much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? shall he break the covenant, and yet escape? 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 brake, 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 make for him in the war, when they cast up mounts and build forts, to cut off many persons. 026 EZE 017 018 For he hath despised the oath by breaking the covenant; and behold, he had given his hand, and yet hath done all these things; he shall not escape. 026 EZE 017 019 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: As I live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, I will even bring it 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 plead with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me. 026 EZE 017 021 And all his fugitives in all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward every wind: 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 lofty top of the cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the topmost of his young twigs a tender one, and I 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 goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof 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 unto 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 be just, and do 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 woman in her separation; 026 EZE 018 007 and hath not wronged any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled 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 usury, 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 beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth 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 wronged the poor and needy, hath spoiled 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 usury, 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 beget a son, that seeth all his father’s sins, which he hath done, and feareth, and doth not such like, 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 wronged any, hath not taken aught to pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment, 026 EZE 018 017 that hath withdrawn his hand from the poor, that hath not received usury 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, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is not good among his people, behold, he shall die in his iniquity. 026 EZE 018 019 Yet say ye, Wherefore 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 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 None of his transgressions that he hath committed shall be remembered against him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. 026 EZE 018 023 Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? saith the Lord GOD: and not rather that he should return from his way, 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? None of his righteous deeds that he hath done shall be remembered: 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 the righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth therein; in his iniquity that he hath done shall he die. 026 EZE 018 027 Again, when the 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. Return ye, 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, whereto ye have transgressed; and make you 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: wherefore turn yourselves, and live. 026 EZE 019 001 Moreover, take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel, 026 EZE 019 002 and say, What was thy mother? A lioness: she couched among lions, in the midst of the young lions she nourished her whelps. 026 EZE 019 003 And she brought up one of her whelps; he became a young lion: and he learned to catch the prey, he devoured men. 026 EZE 019 004 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit: and they brought him with hooks unto 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 he learned to catch the prey, he devoured men. 026 EZE 019 007 And he knew their palaces, and laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, because of the noise of his roaring. 026 EZE 019 008 Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces: and they spread their net over him; he was taken in their pit. 026 EZE 019 009 And they put him in a cage with hooks, 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 was 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 bare rule, and their stature was exalted among the thick boughs, and they were seen in their height with the multitude of their 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 off and withered; the fire consumed them. 026 EZE 019 013 And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land. 026 EZE 019 014 And fire is gone out of the rods of her branches, it hath devoured her fruit, so that there is in her 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 inquire of the LORD, and sat before me. 026 EZE 020 002 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 026 EZE 020 003 Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Are ye come to inquire of me? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired 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 unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto them, Saying, I am the LORD your God; 026 EZE 020 006 in that day I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands: 026 EZE 020 007 And I said unto 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 unto 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 would 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 in the sight of the nations, among whom they were, in whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt. 026 EZE 020 010 So I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness. 026 EZE 020 011 And I gave them my statutes, and shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall 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 rejected my judgments, which if a man do, he shall 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 in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out. 026 EZE 020 015 Moreover also I lifted up my hand unto 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 rejected my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, and profaned my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols. 026 EZE 020 017 Nevertheless mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness. 026 EZE 020 018 And I said unto 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 But the children rebelled against me; they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall 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 mine hand, and wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not he profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them forth. 026 EZE 020 023 Moreover I lifted up mine hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries, 026 EZE 020 024 because they had not executed my judgments, but had rejected my statutes, and had profaned my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols. 026 EZE 020 025 Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and judgments wherein 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 unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me. 026 EZE 020 028 For when I had brought them into the land, which I lifted up mine hand to give unto them, then they saw every high hill, and every thick tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering, there also they made their sweet savour, and they poured out there their drink offerings. 026 EZE 020 029 Then I said unto them, What meaneth the high place whereunto ye go? So the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day. 026 EZE 020 030 Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Do ye pollute yourselves after the manner of your fathers? and go ye a whoring after their abominations? 026 EZE 020 031 and when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, do ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, unto this day? and shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of by you: 026 EZE 020 032 and that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all; in that ye say, We will be as the nations, 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 a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I be king over you: 026 EZE 020 034 and I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out. 026 EZE 020 035 and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I plead with you face to face. 026 EZE 020 036 Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead 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 land where they sojourn, but 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 every one his idols, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken unto me: but my holy name shall ye no more profane with your gifts, and with your idols. 026 EZE 020 040 For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them, serve me in the land: 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 As a sweet savour will I accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations. 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 which I lifted up mine hand to give unto your fathers. 026 EZE 020 043 And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have polluted yourselves; and ye shall loathe 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 evil ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 020 045 And the word of the LORD came unto 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 field in the South; 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 flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burnt thereby. 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, Is he not a speaker of parables? 026 EZE 021 001 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 026 EZE 021 002 Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop [thy word] toward the sanctuaries, 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 out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north: 026 EZE 021 005 and all flesh shall know that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath; it shall not return any more. 026 EZE 021 006 Sigh therefore, thou son of man; with the breaking of thy loins and with bitterness shalt thou sigh before their eyes. 026 EZE 021 007 And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt say, Because of the tidings, for 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 it shall be done, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 021 008 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 026 EZE 021 009 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD: Say, A sword, a sword, it is sharpened, and also furbished: 026 EZE 021 010 it is sharpened that it may make a slaughter; it is furbished that it may be as lightning: shall we then make mirth? the rod of my son, it contemneth every tree. 026 EZE 021 011 And it is given to be furbished, that it may be handled: the sword, it is sharpened, yea, it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer. 026 EZE 021 012 Cry and howl, son of man: for it is upon my people, it is upon all the princes of Israel: they are delivered over to the sword with my people: smite therefore upon thy thigh. 026 EZE 021 013 For there is a trial; and what if even the rod that contemneth shall be no more? saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 021 014 Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands together; and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the deadly wounded: it is the sword of the great one that is deadly wounded, which entereth into their chambers. 026 EZE 021 015 I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied: ah! it is made as lightning, it is pointed for slaughter. 026 EZE 021 016 Gather thee together, go to the right; set thyself in array, go to the left; whithersoever thy face is set. 026 EZE 021 017 I will also smite mine hands together, and I will satisfy my fury: I the LORD have spoken it. 026 EZE 021 018 The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying, 026 EZE 021 019 Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come; they twain shall come forth out of one land: and mark out a place, mark it out at the head of the way to the city. 026 EZE 021 020 Thou shalt appoint a way, for the sword to come to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced. 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 shook the arrows to and fro, he consulted the teraphim, he looked in the liver. 026 EZE 021 022 In his right hand was the divination [for] Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounts, to build forts. 026 EZE 021 023 And it shall be unto them as a vain divination in their sight, which have sworn oaths unto them: but he bringeth iniquity to remembrance, 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 that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand. 026 EZE 021 025 And thou, O deadly wounded wicked one, the prince of Israel, whose day is come, in the time of the iniquity of the end; 026 EZE 021 026 thus saith the Lord GOD: Remove the mitre, and take off the crown: this [shall be] no more the same: exalt that which is low, and abase that which is high. 026 EZE 021 027 I will overturn, overturn, overturn it: this also shall be no more, until he come 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 children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and say thou, A sword, a sword is drawn, for the slaughter it is furbished, to cause it to devour, that it may be as lightning: 026 EZE 021 029 whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine lies unto thee, to lay thee upon the necks of the wicked that are deadly wounded, whose day is come, in the time of the iniquity of the end. 026 EZE 021 030 Cause it to return into its sheath. In the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy birth, will I judge thee. 026 EZE 021 031 And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee; I will blow upon thee with the fire of my wrath: and I will deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, 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 unto me, saying, 026 EZE 022 002 And thou, son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? then cause her to know all her abominations. 026 EZE 022 003 And thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord GOD: A city that sheddeth blood in the midst of her, that her time may come, and that maketh idols against herself to defile her! 026 EZE 022 004 Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed, and art defiled in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the nations, and a mocking to all the countries. 026 EZE 022 005 Those that be near, and those that be far from thee, shall mock thee, thou infamous one [and] full of tumult. 026 EZE 022 006 Behold, the princes of Israel, every one according to his power, have been in thee 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 wronged the fatherless and the widow. 026 EZE 022 008 Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths. 026 EZE 022 009 Slanderous men have been in thee to shed blood: and in thee they have eaten upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they have committed lewdness. 026 EZE 022 010 In thee have they discovered their fathers’ nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was unclean in her separation. 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 bribes to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by oppression, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 022 013 Behold, therefore, I have smitten mine 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 thine heart endure, or can thine 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 nations, and disperse thee through the countries; and I will consume thy filthiness out of thee. 026 EZE 022 016 And thou shalt be profaned in thyself, in the sight of the nations; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 022 017 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 026 EZE 022 018 Son of man, the house of Israel is become dross unto me: all of them are brass and tin and iron and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are the dross of silver. 026 EZE 022 019 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because ye are all become dross, therefore behold, 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 mine anger and in my fury, and I will lay you there, and melt you. 026 EZE 022 021 Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and ye shalt be melted in the midst thereof. 026 EZE 022 022 As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; 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 unto me, saying, 026 EZE 022 024 Son of man, say unto her, thou art a 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 thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey: they have devoured souls; they take treasure and precious things; they have made her widows many in the midst thereof. 026 EZE 022 026 Her priests have done violence to my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern 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 thereof are like wolves ravening the prey; to shed blood, [and] to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain. 026 EZE 022 028 And her prophets have daubed for them with untempered [mortar], seeing vanity, and divining lies unto 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; yea, they have vexed the poor and needy, and have oppressed the stranger wrongfully. 026 EZE 022 030 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the fence, 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 mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I brought upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 023 001 The word of the LORD came again unto 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 whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms 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 Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister: and they became mine, and they bare sons and daughters. And as for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah. 026 EZE 023 005 And Oholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians [her] neighbours, 026 EZE 023 006 which were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses. 026 EZE 023 007 And she bestowed her whoredoms upon them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them: and on whomsoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself. 026 EZE 023 008 Neither hath, she left her whoredoms since [the days of] Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the teats of her virginity: and they poured out their whoredom upon her. 026 EZE 023 009 Wherefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted. 026 EZE 023 010 These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her daughters, and her they slew with the sword: and she became a byword among women; for they executed judgments upon her. 026 EZE 023 011 And her sister Oholibah saw this, yet was she more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her whoredoms which were more than the whoredoms of her sister. 026 EZE 023 012 She doted upon the Assyrians, governors and rulers, [her] neighbours, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men. 026 EZE 023 013 And I saw that she was defiled; they both took one way. 026 EZE 023 014 And she increased her whoredoms; for she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion, 026 EZE 023 015 girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look upon, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their nativity. 026 EZE 023 016 And as soon as she saw them she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea. 026 EZE 023 017 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love; and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them. 026 EZE 023 018 So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my soul was alienated from her, like as my soul was alienated from her sister. 026 EZE 023 019 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, remembering the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. 026 EZE 023 020 And she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses. 026 EZE 023 021 Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in the bruising of thy teats by the Egyptians for the breasts of thy youth. 026 EZE 023 022 Therefore, O Oholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul 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: desirable young men, governors and rulers all of them, princes and men of renown, all of them riding upon horses. 026 EZE 023 024 And they shall come against thee with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with an assembly of peoples; they shall set themselves against thee with buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will commit the judgment unto 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 with thee in fury: they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy residue shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue 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 whoredom [brought] from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto 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 soul 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 whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms. 026 EZE 023 030 These things shall be done unto thee, for that thou hast gone a whoring after 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 thine hand. 026 EZE 023 032 Thus saith the Lord GOD: Thou shalt drink of thy sister’s cup, which is deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much. 026 EZE 023 033 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria. 026 EZE 023 034 Thou shalt even drink it and drain it out, and thou shalt gnaw the sherds thereof, and shalt tear thy 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 whoredoms. 026 EZE 023 036 The LORD said moreover unto me: Son of man, wilt thou judge Oholah and Oholibah? then declare unto them their abominations. 026 EZE 023 037 For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery; and they have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass through [the fire] unto them to be devoured. 026 EZE 023 038 Moreover this they have done unto 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 mine house. 026 EZE 023 040 And furthermore ye have sent for men that come from far: unto whom a messenger was sent, and, lo, they came; for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thine eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments; 026 EZE 023 041 and satest upon a stately bed. with a table prepared before it, whereupon thou didst set mine incense and mine oil. 026 EZE 023 042 And the voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets upon the hands of them [twain], and beautiful crowns upon their heads. 026 EZE 023 043 Then said I of her that was old in adulteries, Now will they commit whoredoms with her, and she [with them]. 026 EZE 023 044 And they went in unto her, as they go in unto an harlot: so went they in unto Oholah and unto Oholibah, the lewd women. 026 EZE 023 045 And righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment 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 an assembly against them, and will give them to be tossed to and fro and spoiled. 026 EZE 023 047 And the assembly shall stone them with stones, and despatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up 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 unto me, saying, 026 EZE 024 002 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, [even] of this selfsame day: the king of Babylon drew close unto Jerusalem this selfsame day. 026 EZE 024 003 And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD, Set on the caldron, set it on, and also pour water into it: 026 EZE 024 004 gather the pieces thereof 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 pile also the bones under it: make it boil well; yea, let the bones thereof be seethed in the midst of it. 026 EZE 024 006 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city, to the caldron whose rust is therein, and whose rust is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; no lot is fallen upon it. 026 EZE 024 007 For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the bare 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 bare rock, that it should not be covered. 026 EZE 024 009 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great. 026 EZE 024 010 Heap on the wood, make the fire hot, boil well the flesh, and make thick the broth, and let the bones be burned. 026 EZE 024 011 Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that it may be hot, and the brass thereof may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the rust of it may be consumed. 026 EZE 024 012 She hath wearied [herself] with toil: yet her great rust goeth not forth out of her; her rust [goeth not forth] by 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 satisfied my fury 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 unto me, saying, 026 EZE 024 016 Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down. 026 EZE 024 017 Sigh, but not aloud; make no mourning for the dead, bind thy headtire upon thee, and put thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men. 026 EZE 024 018 So I spake unto the people in the morning; and at even my wife died: and I did in the morning as I was commanded. 026 EZE 024 019 And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so? 026 EZE 024 020 Then I said unto them, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 026 EZE 024 021 Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind 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 tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another. 026 EZE 024 024 Thus shall Ezekiel be unto you a sign; according to all that he hath done shall ye do: when this cometh, then shall ye know that I am the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 024 025 And 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 whereupon they set their heart, their sons and their daughters, 026 EZE 024 026 that in that day he that escapeth shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears? 026 EZE 024 027 In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: so shalt thou be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 025 001 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 026 EZE 025 002 Son of man, set thy face toward the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them: 026 EZE 025 003 and say unto the children of Ammon, 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 made desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity: 026 EZE 025 004 therefore behold, I will deliver thee to the children of the east for a possession, and they shall set their encampments 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 children of Ammon a couching place 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 thine hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced with all the despite of thy soul against the land of Israel; 026 EZE 025 007 therefore behold, I have stretched out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the nations; and I will cut thee off from the peoples, 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 unto all the nations; 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, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim, 026 EZE 025 010 unto the children of the east, to go against the children of Ammon, and I will give them for a possession, that the children of Ammon 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 that 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 stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it: and I will make it desolate from Teman; even unto Dedan shall they 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 mine 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 despite of soul to destroy it with perpetual enmity; 026 EZE 025 016 therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites, 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 unto me, saying, 026 EZE 026 002 Son of man, because that Tyre hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken [that was] the gate of the peoples; she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now that 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 his 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 a bare rock. 026 EZE 026 005 She 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 she shall become a spoil to the nations. 026 EZE 026 006 And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain with 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 Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, from the north, with horses; and with chariots, and with horsemen, and a company, and much people. 026 EZE 026 008 He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make forts against thee, and cast up a mount against thee, and raise up the buckler against thee. 026 EZE 026 009 And he shall set his battering engines 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 wagons, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein 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 with the sword, and the pillars of thy strength 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 waters. 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 a bare rock: thou shalt be a place for the spreading of nets; 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 groan, 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 aside their robes, and strip off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble 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 of seafaring men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which caused their terror to be on all that haunt 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 dismayed 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 the great waters shall cover thee; 026 EZE 026 020 then will I bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, to the people of old time, and will make thee to dwell in the nether parts of the earth, in the places that are desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I will 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 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 unto me, saying, 026 EZE 027 002 And thou, son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre; 026 EZE 027 003 and say unto Tyre, O thou that dwellest at the entry of the sea, which art the merchant of the peoples unto many isles, thus saith the Lord GOD: Thou, O Tyre, hast said, I am perfect in beauty. 026 EZE 027 004 Thy borders are in the heart of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty. 026 EZE 027 005 They have made all thy planks of fir trees from Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make a mast for thee. 026 EZE 027 006 Of the oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars; they have made thy benches of ivory inlaid in boxwood, from the isles of Kittim. 026 EZE 027 007 Of fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was thy sail, that it might be to thee for an ensign; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was thine awning. 026 EZE 027 008 The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy rowers: thy wise men, O Tyre, were in thee, they were thy pilots. 026 EZE 027 009 The ancients of Gebal and the wise men thereof were in thee thy calkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to occupy thy merchandise. 026 EZE 027 010 Persia and Lud and Put were in thine army, thy men of war: they hanged the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thy comeliness. 026 EZE 027 011 The men of Arvad with thine army were upon thy walls round about, and the Gammadim were in thy towers: they hanged their shields upon thy walls round about; they have perfected thy beauty. 026 EZE 027 012 Tarshish was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kinds of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded for thy wares. 026 EZE 027 013 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were thy traffickers: they traded the persons of men and vessels of brass for thy merchandise. 026 EZE 027 014 They of the house of Togarmah traded for thy wares with horses and war-horses and mules. 026 EZE 027 015 The men of Dedan were thy traffickers: many isles were the mart of thine hand: they brought thee in exchange horns of ivory and ebony. 026 EZE 027 016 Syria was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of thy handyworks: they traded for thy wares with emeralds, purple, and broidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and rubies. 026 EZE 027 017 Judah, and the land of Israel, they were thy traffickers: they traded for thy merchandise wheat of Minnith, and pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm: 026 EZE 027 018 Damascus was thy merchant for the multitude of thy handyworks, by reason of the multitude of all kinds of riches; with the wine of Helbon, and white wool. 026 EZE 027 019 Vedan and Javan traded with yarn for thy wares: bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were among thy merchandise. 026 EZE 027 020 Dedan was thy trafficker in precious cloths for riding. 026 EZE 027 021 Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they were the merchants of thy hand; in lambs, and rams, and goats, in these were they thy merchants. 026 EZE 027 022 The traffickers of Sheba and Raamah, they were thy traffickers: they traded for thy wares with chief of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold. 026 EZE 027 023 Haran and Canneh and Eden, the traffickers of Sheba, Asshur [and] Chilmad were they traffickers. 026 EZE 027 024 These were thy traffickers in choice wares, in wrappings of blue and broidered 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 were thy caravans for thy merchandise: and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the heart of the seas. 026 EZE 027 026 Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the east wind hath broken thee in the heart of the seas. 026 EZE 027 027 Thy riches, and thy wares, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the occupiers of thy merchandise, and all thy men of war, that are in thee, with all thy company which is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the heart of the seas in the day of thy ruin. 026 EZE 027 028 At the sound of the cry of thy pilots the suburbs shall shake. 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 over 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 bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee in bitterness of soul with bitter mourning. 026 EZE 027 032 And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, [saying], Who is there like Tyre, like her that is brought to silence in the midst of the sea? 026 EZE 027 033 When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many peoples; 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 that thou wast broken by the seas in the depths of the waters, thy merchandise and all thy company did fall in the midst of thee. 026 EZE 027 035 All the inhabitants of the isles are astonished at thee, and their kings are horribly afraid, they are troubled in their countenance. 026 EZE 027 036 The merchants among the peoples hiss at thee; thou art become a terror, and thou shalt never be any more. 026 EZE 028 001 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, 026 EZE 028 002 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Because thine 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 man, and not God, though thou didst set thine 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 by thy wisdom and by thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures: 026 EZE 028 005 by thy great wisdom [and] by thy traffic hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches: 026 EZE 028 006 therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God; 026 EZE 028 007 therefore behold, 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 heart of the seas. 026 EZE 028 009 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou art man, and not God, in the hand of him that woundeth 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 unto me, saying, 026 EZE 028 012 Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 026 EZE 028 013 Thou wast in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, the 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 in thee; in the day that thou wast created they were prepared. 026 EZE 028 014 Thou wast the anointed cherub that covereth: and I set thee, [so that] 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 unrighteousness was found in thee. 026 EZE 028 016 By the multitude of they traffic they filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore, have I cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 026 EZE 028 017 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I have cast thee to the ground, I have laid thee before kings, that they may behold thee. 026 EZE 028 018 By the multitude of thine iniquities, in the unrighteousness of thy traffic, thou hast profaned thy sanctuaries; therefore have I brought forth a fire from the midst of thee, it hath devoured thee, and I have turned 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 peoples shall be astonished at thee: thou art become a terror, and thou shalt never be any more. 026 EZE 028 020 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 026 EZE 028 021 Son of man, set thy face toward 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 in her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her, with 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 unto the house of Israel, nor a grieving thorn of any that are round about them, that did despite unto 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 peoples among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the nations, then shall they dwell in their own land which I gave my servant Jacob. 026 EZE 028 026 And they shall dwell securely therein; yea, they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and shall dwell securely; when I have executed judgments upon all those that do them despite round about 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 unto 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 mine own, and I have made it for myself. 026 EZE 029 004 And I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales; and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, with all the fish of thy rivers which stick unto 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 field; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the earth and to the fowls of the 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 didst rend all their shoulders: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand. 026 EZE 029 008 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and will cut off from thee man and beast. 026 EZE 029 009 And the land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a 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 therefore behold, I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from the tower of Seveneh even unto the border of Ethiopia. 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 a desolation in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be a desolation forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries. 026 EZE 029 013 For thus saith the Lord GOD: At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the peoples whither they were scattered: 026 EZE 029 014 and I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their birth; and they shall be there a base kingdom. 026 EZE 029 015 It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it any more lift itself up above the nations: and 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, bringing iniquity to remembrance, when they turn to look after them: and 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 unto me, saying, 026 EZE 029 018 Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, from 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 unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall carry off 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 as his recompence for which he served, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 029 021 In that day will I cause an horn to bud forth unto the house of Israel, 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 unto me, saying, 026 EZE 030 002 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Howl ye, Woe worth the day! 026 EZE 030 003 For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a day of clouds; it shall be the time of the heathen. 026 EZE 030 004 And a sword shall come upon Egypt, and anguish shall be in Ethiopia, 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 Ethiopia, and Put, and Lud, and all the mingled people, and Cub, and the children 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 Seveneh 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 all her helpers are destroyed. 026 EZE 030 009 In that day shall messengers go forth from before me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid; and there shall be anguish 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 Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon. 026 EZE 030 011 He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought in 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 will sell the land into the hand of evil men; and I will make the land desolate, and all that is therein, 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 the images to cease from Noph; and there shall be no more a prince out 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 a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No. 026 EZE 030 015 And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strong hold of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No. 026 EZE 030 016 And I will set a fire in Egypt; Sin shall be in great anguish, and No shall be broken up: and Noph [shall have] adversaries in the day time. 026 EZE 030 017 The young men of Aven and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword: and these [cities] shall go into captivity. 026 EZE 030 018 At Tehaphnehes also the day shall withdraw itself, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt, and the pride of her power 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 unto me, saying, 026 EZE 030 021 Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it hath not been bound up to apply [healing] medicines, to put a roller to bind it, that it be 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 the arms of Pharaoh, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man. 026 EZE 030 025 And I will hold up 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 through 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 unto me, saying, 026 EZE 031 002 Son of man, say unto 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 shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs. 026 EZE 031 004 The waters nourished him, the deep made him to grow: her rivers ran round about her plantation; and she sent out her channels unto all the trees of the field. 026 EZE 031 005 Therefore his stature was exalted above all the trees of the field: and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long by reason of many waters, when he shot [them] 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 many 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 plane trees were not as his branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like unto him in his beauty. 026 EZE 031 009 I 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 said the Lord GOD: Because thou art exalted in stature, and he hath set his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height; 026 EZE 031 011 I will even deliver him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; 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 watercourses of the land; and all the peoples of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him. 026 EZE 031 013 Upon his ruin all the fowls of the heaven shall dwell, 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 in their stature, neither set their top among the thick boughs, nor that their mighty ones stand up in their height, [even] all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether 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 hell I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the rivers thereof, 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, were comforted in the nether parts of the earth. (Sheol h7585) 026 EZE 031 017 They also went down into hell with him unto them that be slain by the sword; yea, they that were his arm, [that] dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the nations. (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 unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that be 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 unto me, saying, 026 EZE 032 002 Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou wast likened unto a young lion of the nations: yet art thou as a dragon in the seas; and thou brakest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers. 026 EZE 032 003 Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will spread out my net over thee with a company of many peoples; and they shall bring thee up in my net. 026 EZE 032 004 And I will leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to settle upon thee, and I will satisfy 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 wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the watercourses shall be full of thee. 026 EZE 032 007 And when I shall extinguish thee, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof 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 peoples, 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 peoples amazed 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 are they all: and they shall spoil the pride of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed. 026 EZE 032 013 I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside many 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 clear, 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 waste, a land destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite all them that dwell therein, then shall they know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 032 016 This is the lamentation wherewith they shall lament; the daughters of the nations shall lament therewith: for Egypt, and for all her multitude, shall they lament therewith, 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 unto 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, unto the nether 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 away 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 still, even the uncircumcised, slain by the sword. (Sheol h7585) 026 EZE 032 022 Asshur is there and all her company; his graves are round about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword: 026 EZE 032 023 whose graves are set in the uttermost parts of the pit, and her company is round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which caused terror in the land of the living. 026 EZE 032 024 There is Elam and all her multitude round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused their terror in the land of the living, and have 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 round about her: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for their terror was caused in the land of the living, and they have borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that be slain. 026 EZE 032 026 There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude; her graves are round about her: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for 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, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war, and have laid their swords under their heads, and their iniquities are upon their bones; for [they were] the terror of the mighty in the land of the living. (Sheol h7585) 026 EZE 032 028 But thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with them that are slain by the sword. 026 EZE 032 029 There is Edom, her kings and all her princes, which in their might are laid with them that are slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit. 026 EZE 032 030 There be the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, which are gone down with the slain; in the terror which they caused by their might they are ashamed; 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 put his terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 033 001 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 026 EZE 033 002 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto 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 blow the trumpet, and warn the people; 026 EZE 033 004 then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning, if the sword 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: whereas if he had taken warning he should have delivered his soul. 026 EZE 033 006 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned, and the sword 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, son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. 026 EZE 033 008 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die, and 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 thine hand. 026 EZE 033 009 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he turn not from his way; he shall die in his iniquity, but thou hast delivered thy soul. 026 EZE 033 010 And thou, son of man, say unto the house of Israel: Thus ye speak, saying, Our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we pine away in them; how then should we live? 026 EZE 033 011 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked 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 And thou, son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness: neither shall he that is righteous be able to live thereby in the day that he sinneth. 026 EZE 033 013 When I say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his righteousness, and commit iniquity, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered; but in his iniquity that he hath committed, therein shall he die. 026 EZE 033 014 Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right; 026 EZE 033 015 if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die. 026 EZE 033 016 None of his sins that he hath committed shall be remembered against 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, he shall even die therein. 026 EZE 033 019 And when the wicked turneth from his wickedness, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby. 026 EZE 033 020 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O 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 unto me, saying, The city is smitten. 026 EZE 033 022 Now the hand of the LORD had been upon me in the evening, afore he that was escaped came; and he 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 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 026 EZE 033 024 Son of man, they that inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance. 026 EZE 033 025 Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes unto 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 Thus shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: As I live, surely they that are in the waste places 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 be in the strong holds and in the caves shall die of the pestilence. 026 EZE 033 028 And I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment, and the pride of her power 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 made the land a desolation and an astonishment, because of all their abominations which they have committed. 026 EZE 033 030 And as for thee, son of man, the children of thy people talk of thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, everyone 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 unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but do them not: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their gain. 026 EZE 033 032 And, lo, thou art unto 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 them not. 026 EZE 033 033 And when this cometh to pass, (behold, it cometh, ) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them. 026 EZE 034 001 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 026 EZE 034 002 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, even to the shepherds, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe unto the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the sheep? 026 EZE 034 003 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill the fatlings; but ye feed not the sheep. 026 EZE 034 004 The diseased have ye 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 rigour have ye ruled over them. 026 EZE 034 005 And they were scattered, because there was no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, and were scattered. 026 EZE 034 006 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my sheep were scattered upon all the face of the earth; and there was none that did search or seek [after 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 forasmuch as my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became meat to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my sheep; 026 EZE 034 009 therefore, 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 sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them. 026 EZE 034 011 For thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will 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 abroad, so will I seek out my sheep; and I will deliver them out of all places whither they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. 026 EZE 034 013 And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country. 026 EZE 034 014 I will feed them with good pasture, and upon the mountains of the height of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold, and on fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. 026 EZE 034 015 I myself will feed my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 034 016 I will seek that which was lost, and will bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: and the fat and the strong I will destroy; I will feed them in judgment. 026 EZE 034 017 And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, as well the rams as the he-goats. 026 EZE 034 018 Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have fed upon the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? and to have drunk of the clear waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet? 026 EZE 034 019 And as for my sheep, 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 unto them: Behold, I, even I, judge between the fat cattle and the lean cattle. 026 EZE 034 021 Because ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push 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 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 evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell securely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. 026 EZE 034 026 And I will make them and the places round about 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 its fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be secure in their land; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them. 026 EZE 034 028 And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid. 026 EZE 034 029 And I will raise up unto them a plantation for renown, and they shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more. 026 EZE 034 030 And they shall know that I the LORD their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 034 031 And ye my sheep, the sheep 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 unto 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 unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against thee, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee a desolation and an astonishment. 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 enmity, and hast given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end: 026 EZE 035 006 therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue thee. 026 EZE 035 007 Thus will I make mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation; and I will cut off from it him that passeth through and him that returneth. 026 EZE 035 008 And I will fill his mountains with his slain: in thy hills and in thy valleys and in all thy watercourses shall they fall that are slain with the sword. 026 EZE 035 009 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not be inhabited: 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; whereas the LORD was there: 026 EZE 035 011 therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast shewed out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I shall judge thee. 026 EZE 035 012 And thou shalt know that I the LORD have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to devour. 026 EZE 035 013 And ye have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard it. 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 over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto 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 And thou, son of man, prophesy unto 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 hath said against you, Aha! and, The ancient high places are ours in possession: 026 EZE 036 003 therefore prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Because, even because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the nations, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and the evil report 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 watercourses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which are become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are round about: 026 EZE 036 005 therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Edom, which have appointed my land unto themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with despite of soul, to cast it out for a prey: 026 EZE 036 006 Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses 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 mine hand, [saying], Surely the heathen that are round 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 Israel; for they are at hand to come. 026 EZE 036 009 For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto 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 waste places shall be builded: 026 EZE 036 011 and I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase, and be fruitful: and I will cause you to be inhabited after your former estate, and will do better [unto 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 children. 026 EZE 036 013 Thus saith the Lord GOD: Because they say unto you, Thou [land] art a devourer of men, and hast been a bereaver of thy nation; 026 EZE 036 014 therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nation any more, saith the Lord GOD; 026 EZE 036 015 neither will I let thee hear any more the shame of the heathen, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the peoples any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nation to stumble any more, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 036 016 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 026 EZE 036 017 Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their way and by their doings: their way before me was as the uncleanness of a woman in her separation. 026 EZE 036 018 Wherefore I poured out my fury upon them for the blood which they had poured out upon the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols: 026 EZE 036 019 and I scattered them among the nations, 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 came unto the nations, whither they went, they profaned my holy name; in that men said of 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 mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, whither they went. 026 EZE 036 022 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD: I do not [this] for your sake, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name, which ye have profaned among the nations, whither ye went. 026 EZE 036 023 And I will sanctify my great name, which hath been profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations 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 nations, and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land. 026 EZE 036 025 And I will 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 And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will multiply 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 the reproach of famine among the nations. 026 EZE 036 031 Then shall ye remember your evil ways, and your doings that were not good; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations. 026 EZE 036 032 Not for your sake do I [this], saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel. 026 EZE 036 033 Thus saith the Lord GOD: In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be builded. 026 EZE 036 034 And the land that was desolate shall be tilled, whereas it was a desolation 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 fenced and inhabited. 026 EZE 036 036 Then the nations that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD have builded the ruined places, and planted that which was desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it. 026 EZE 036 037 Thus saith the Lord GOD: For this moreover will I be inquired 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 flock for sacrifice, as the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed 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 he carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones; 026 EZE 037 002 And he caused me to pass by them round about: and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and lo, they were very dry. 026 EZE 037 003 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. 026 EZE 037 004 Again he said unto me, Prophesy over these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. 026 EZE 037 005 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto 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 an earthquake, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. 026 EZE 037 008 And I beheld, and lo, there were sinews upon them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them. 026 EZE 037 009 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto 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 unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off. 026 EZE 037 012 Therefore prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people; and I will 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, and caused you to come up out of your graves, O my people. 026 EZE 037 014 And I will put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and ye shall 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 unto me, saying, 026 EZE 037 016 And 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 for thee one to another into one stick, that they may become one in thine hand. 026 EZE 037 018 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these? 026 EZE 037 019 say unto 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 I will put them with it, [even] with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand. 026 EZE 037 020 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes. 026 EZE 037 021 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, whither they be 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 dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God. 026 EZE 037 024 And my servant David 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 unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children’s children, for ever: and David my servant 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; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 026 EZE 037 028 And the nations shall know that I am the LORD that sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore. 026 EZE 038 001 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 026 EZE 038 002 Son of man, set thy face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, 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, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal: 026 EZE 038 004 and I will turn thee about, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armour, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them handling swords: 026 EZE 038 005 Persia, Cush, and Put with them; all of them with shield and helmet: 026 EZE 038 006 Gomer, and all his hordes; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of the north, and all his hordes: even many peoples with thee. 026 EZE 038 007 Be thou prepared, yea, prepare thyself, thou, and all thy companies that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto 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, that is gathered out of many peoples, upon the mountains of Israel, which have been a continual waste: but it is brought forth out of the peoples, and they shall dwell securely, all of them. 026 EZE 038 009 And thou shalt ascend, thou shalt come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy hordes, and many peoples with thee. 026 EZE 038 010 Thus saith the Lord GOD: It shall come to pass in that day, that things shall come into thy mind, and thou shalt devise an evil device: 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 quiet, that dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates: 026 EZE 038 012 to take the spoil and to take the prey; to turn thine hand against the waste places that are [now] inhabited, and against the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the middle of the earth. 026 EZE 038 013 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish; with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take the spoil? hast thou assembled thy company to take the prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take great spoil? 026 EZE 038 014 Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD: In that day when my people Israel dwelleth securely, shalt thou not know it? 026 EZE 038 015 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the uttermost parts of the north, thou, and many peoples with thee, all of them riding upon horses; a great company and a mighty army: 026 EZE 038 016 and thou shalt come up against my people Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring thee against my land, that the nations 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 spake in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days for [many] years that I would bring thee against them? 026 EZE 038 018 And it shall come to pass in that day, when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up into my nostrils. 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 thrown down, 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 unto all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother. 026 EZE 038 022 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood: and I will rain upon him, and upon his hordes, and upon the many peoples that are with him, an overflowing shower, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 026 EZE 038 023 And I will magnify myself, and sanctify myself, and I will make myself known in the eyes of many nations; and they shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 039 001 And thou, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal: 026 EZE 039 002 and I will turn thee about, and will lead thee on, and will cause thee to come up from the uttermost parts of the north; and I will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel: 026 EZE 039 003 and I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. 026 EZE 039 004 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy hordes, and the peoples that are with thee: I will give thee unto 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 on them that dwell securely in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD. 026 EZE 039 007 And my holy name will I make known in the midst of my people Israel; neither will I suffer my holy name to be profaned any more: and the nations shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel. 026 EZE 039 008 Behold, it cometh, and it shall be done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken. 026 EZE 039 009 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall make fires of the weapons and burn them, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall make fires of them 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 make fires of the weapons: and they shall spoil those that spoiled 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 unto Gog a place for burial in Israel, the valley of them that pass through on the east of the sea: and it shall stop them that pass through: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamon-gog. 026 EZE 039 012 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of 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 sever out men of continual employment, that shall pass through the land to bury them that pass through, 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 they that pass through the land shall pass through; and 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 Hamon-gog. 026 EZE 039 016 And Hamonah shall also be the name of a city. Thus shall they cleanse the land. 026 EZE 039 017 And thou, son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD: Speak unto the birds of every sort, 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 bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan. 026 EZE 039 019 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. 026 EZE 039 020 And 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 nations, and all the nations 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 nations shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they trespassed against me, and I hid my face from them: so I gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and they fell all of them by the sword. 026 EZE 039 024 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions did I unto them; and I hid 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 I will be jealous for my holy name. 026 EZE 039 026 And they shall bear their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they shall dwell securely in their land, and none shall make them afraid; 026 EZE 039 027 when I have brought them again from the peoples, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations. 026 EZE 039 028 And they shall know that I am the LORD their God, in that I caused them to go into captivity among the nations, and have gathered them unto their own land; and I will leave none of them any more there; 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 that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day, the hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me thither. 026 EZE 040 002 In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mountain, whereon was as it were the frame of a city on the south. 026 EZE 040 003 And he brought me thither, 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 unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew them unto thee art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel. 026 EZE 040 005 And behold, a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed of six cubits long, of a cubit and an handbreadth each: so he measured the thickness of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed. 026 EZE 040 006 Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the steps thereof; and he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed broad: and the other threshold, one reed broad. 026 EZE 040 007 And every lodge was one reed long, and one reed broad; and [the space] between the lodges was five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate toward the house was one reed. 026 EZE 040 008 He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed. 026 EZE 040 009 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was toward the house. 026 EZE 040 010 And the lodges 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 opening of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate thirteen cubits; 026 EZE 040 012 and a border before the lodges one cubit [on this side], and a border, one cubit on that side; and the lodges six cubits on this side, and six cubit on that side. 026 EZE 040 013 And he measured the gate from the roof of the one lodge to the roof of the other, a breadth of five and twenty cubits; door against door. 026 EZE 040 014 He made also posts, threescore cubits; and the court [reached] unto the post, the gate [being] round about. 026 EZE 040 015 And [from] the forefront of the gate at the entrance unto the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits. 026 EZE 040 016 And there were closed windows to the lodges, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches: and windows were round about inward: and upon [each] post were palm trees. 026 EZE 040 017 Then brought he me into the outer court, and, lo, there were chambers and a pavement, made for the court round about: thirty chambers were upon the pavement. 026 EZE 040 018 And the pavement was by the side of the gates, answerable unto the length of the gates, even the lower pavement. 026 EZE 040 019 Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, an hundred cubits, [both] on the east and on the north. 026 EZE 040 020 And the gate of the outer court whose prospect is toward the north, he measured the length thereof and the breadth thereof. 026 EZE 040 021 And the lodges thereof were three on this side and three on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits. 026 EZE 040 022 And the windows thereof, and the arches thereof, and the palm trees thereof, were after the measure of the gate whose prospect is toward the east; and they went up unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof were before them. 026 EZE 040 023 And there was a gate to the inner court over against the [other] gate, [both] on the north and on the east; and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits. 026 EZE 040 024 And he led me toward the south, and behold a gate toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures. 026 EZE 040 025 And there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about, 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 the arches thereof were before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts thereof. 026 EZE 040 027 And there was a gate to the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits. 026 EZE 040 028 Then 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 the lodges thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof; according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad. 026 EZE 040 030 And there were arches round about, five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad. 026 EZE 040 031 And the arches thereof were toward the outer court; and palm trees were upon the posts thereof: and the going up 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 the lodges thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures: and there were windows therein and in the arches thereof round about: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad. 026 EZE 040 034 And the arches thereof were toward the outer court; and palm trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it had eight steps. 026 EZE 040 035 And he brought me to the north gate: and he measured [it] according to these measures; 026 EZE 040 036 the lodges thereof, the posts thereof, and the arches thereof; and there were windows therein round about: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits. 026 EZE 040 037 And the posts thereof were toward the outer court; and palm trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it had eight steps. 026 EZE 040 038 And a chamber with the door thereof was by the posts at the gates; there 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 thereon the burnt offering and the sin offering and the guilt offering. 026 EZE 040 040 And on the [one] side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the gate toward the north, were two tables; and on the other side, which belonged to 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, whereupon they slew [the sacrifices]. 026 EZE 040 042 And there were four tables for the burnt offering, of hewn stone, a cubit and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high: whereupon they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice. 026 EZE 040 043 And the hooks, an handbreadth long, were fastened within round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the oblation. 026 EZE 040 044 And without the inner gate were chambers for 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 unto 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, which from among the sons of Levi come near to the LORD to minister unto him. 026 EZE 040 047 And he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar was before the house. 026 EZE 040 048 Then 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; even by the steps whereby 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 And 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 entrance was ten cubits; and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits. 026 EZE 041 003 Then went he inward, and measured each post of the entrance, two cubits: and the entrance, six cubits; and the breadth of the entrance, seven cubits. 026 EZE 041 004 And he measured the length thereof twenty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy place. 026 EZE 041 005 Then he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side-chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side. 026 EZE 041 006 And the side-chambers were in three stories, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which belonged to the house for the side-chambers round about, that they might have hold [therein], and not have hold in the wall of the house. 026 EZE 041 007 And the side-chambers were broader as they encompassed [the house] higher and higher; for the encompassing of the house went higher and higher round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house [continued] upward; and so one went up [from] the lowest [chamber] to the highest by the middle [chamber]. 026 EZE 041 008 I saw also that the house had a raised basement round about: 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 chambers, on the outside, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side-chambers that belonged to the house. 026 EZE 041 010 And between the chambers was a breadth of twenty cubits round about 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 round about. 026 EZE 041 012 And the building that was before the separate place at the side toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits. 026 EZE 041 013 So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long, and the separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, 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 before the separate place which was at the back thereof, and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side, an hundred cubits; and the inner temple, and the porches of the court; 026 EZE 041 016 the thresholds, and the closed windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, over against the threshold, cieled with wood round about, and [from] the ground up to the windows; now the windows were covered; 026 EZE 041 017 to [the space] above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by measure. 026 EZE 041 018 And it was made with cherubim and palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces; 026 EZE 041 019 so that there was the face of a man toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: [thus was it] made through all the house round about. 026 EZE 041 020 from the ground unto above the door were cherubim and palm trees made: thus was the wall of the temple. 026 EZE 041 021 As for the temple, the door posts were squared; and as for the face of the sanctuary, the appearance [thereof] was as the appearance [of the temple]. 026 EZE 041 022 The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto 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 [apiece], two turning leaves; two [leaves] for the one door, and two leaves for the other. 026 EZE 041 025 And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick beams of wood upon the face of the porch without. 026 EZE 041 026 And there were closed windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch: thus were the side-chambers of the house, and the thick beams. 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 over against the separate place, and which was over against 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 Over against the twenty [cubits] which belonged to the inner court, and over against the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in the third story. 026 EZE 042 004 And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north. 026 EZE 042 005 Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middlemost, in the building. 026 EZE 042 006 For they were in three stories, and they had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore [the uppermost] was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground. 026 EZE 042 007 And the wall that was without by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court before the chambers, the length thereof 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 entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the outer court. 026 EZE 042 010 In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were chambers. 026 EZE 042 011 And the way before them was like the appearance of [the way of] the chambers which were toward the north; according to their length so was their breadth: and all their goings out 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 unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they be the holy chambers, where the priests that are near unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the guilt offering; for the place is holy. 026 EZE 042 014 When the priests enter in, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and shall approach to that which pertaineth to the people. 026 EZE 042 015 Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about. 026 EZE 042 016 He measured on the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. 026 EZE 042 017 He measured on the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. 026 EZE 042 018 He measured on 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 on the four sides: it had a wall round about, the length five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common. 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 the sound 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 And 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 one speaking unto me out of the house; and a man stood by me. 026 EZE 043 007 And he said unto me, Son of man, [this is] 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 the house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, and by the carcases of their kings [in] their high places; 026 EZE 043 008 in their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their door post beside my door post, and there was [but] the wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger. 026 EZE 043 009 Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases 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, shew 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 be ashamed of all that they have done, make known unto them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof, and write it in their sight: that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them. 026 EZE 043 012 This is the law of the house: upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house. 026 EZE 043 013 And these are the measures of the altar by cubits: (the cubit is a cubit and an handbreadth: ) the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about a span: and this shall be the base of the altar. 026 EZE 043 014 And from the bottom upon the ground to the lower settle shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle to the greater settle shall be four cubits, and the breadth a cubit. 026 EZE 043 015 And the upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns. 026 EZE 043 016 And the altar hearth shall be twelve [cubits] long by twelve broad, square in the four sides thereof. 026 EZE 043 017 And the settle shall be fourteen [cubits] long by fourteen broad in the four sides thereof; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit about; and the steps thereof shall look toward the east. 026 EZE 043 018 And he said unto 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 thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon. 026 EZE 043 019 Thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which are near unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord GOD, a young bullock for a sin offering. 026 EZE 043 020 And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse it and make atonement for it. 026 EZE 043 021 Thou shalt also take the bullock of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary. 026 EZE 043 022 And on the second day thou shalt offer a he-goat without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse it with the bullock. 026 EZE 043 023 When thou hast made an end of cleansing it, thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish. 026 EZE 043 024 And thou shalt bring them near before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering unto 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 bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish. 026 EZE 043 026 Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it; so shall they consecrate it. 026 EZE 043 027 And when they have accomplished the days, it shall be that upon the eighth day, and forward, 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 outer gate of the sanctuary, which looketh toward the east; and it was shut. 026 EZE 044 002 And the LORD said unto me, This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, neither shall any man enter in by it, for the LORD, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it; therefore it shall be shut. 026 EZE 044 003 As for the prince, he shall sit therein as prince to eat bread before the LORD; he shall enter by the way of the porch of the 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 unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the LORD, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of 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 in aliens, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant, [to add] unto all your abominations. 026 EZE 044 008 And ye have not kept the charge of mine 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 alien, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any alien that is among the children of Israel. 026 EZE 044 010 But the Levites that went far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray from me after their idols; they shall bear their iniquity. 026 EZE 044 011 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them. 026 EZE 044 012 Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and became a stumblingblock of iniquity unto the house of Israel; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they shall bear their iniquity. 026 EZE 044 013 And they shall not come near unto me, to execute the office of priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, unto the things that are most holy: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed. 026 EZE 044 014 Yet will I make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein. 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 unto me; and they shall stand before me to offer unto 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 unto me, and they shall keep my charge. 026 EZE 044 017 And it shall be 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, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within. 026 EZE 044 018 They shall have linen tires 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 wherein they minister, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments, that they sanctify not the people with their garments. 026 EZE 044 020 Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll 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 virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that is the widow of a priest. 026 EZE 044 023 And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. 026 EZE 044 024 And in a controversy they shall stand to judge; according to my judgments shall they judge it: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my appointed feasts; and they shall hallow my sabbaths. 026 EZE 044 025 And they shall come at 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 unto him seven days. 026 EZE 044 027 And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 044 028 And they shall have 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 meal offering, and the sin offering, and the guilt offering; and every devoted thing in Israel shall be theirs. 026 EZE 044 030 And the first of all the firstfruits of every thing, and every oblation of every thing, of all your oblations, shall be for the priests: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, to cause a blessing to rest on thine house. 026 EZE 044 031 The priests shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself, or is torn, whether it be fowl or beast. 026 EZE 045 001 Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto 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: it shall be holy in all the border thereof round about. 026 EZE 045 002 Of this there shall be for the holy place five hundred [in length] by five hundred [in breadth], square round about; and fifty cubits for the suburbs thereof round about. 026 EZE 045 003 And of this measure shalt thou measure, a length of five and twenty thousand, and a breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary, which is most holy. 026 EZE 045 004 It is an holy portion of the land; it shall be for the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, which come near to minister unto the LORD; and it shall be a place for their houses, and an holy place for the sanctuary. 026 EZE 045 005 And five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth, shall be unto the Levites, the ministers of the house, for a possession unto themselves, [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, side by side with the oblation of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of Israel. 026 EZE 045 007 And [whatsoever is] for the prince [shall be] on the one side and on the other side of the holy oblation and of the possession of the city, in front of the holy oblation and in front of the possession of the city, on the west side westward, and on the east side eastward: and in length answerable unto one of the portions, from the west border unto the east border. 026 EZE 045 008 In the land it shall be to him for a possession in Israel: and my princes shall no more oppress my people; but they shall give the land 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 thereof 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 from an homer of wheat, and ye shall give the sixth part of an ephah from an homer of barley: 026 EZE 045 014 and the set portion of oil, of the bath of oil, shall be the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, [which is] ten baths, even an homer; for ten baths are an homer: 026 EZE 045 015 and one lamb of the flock, out of two hundred, from the fat pastures of Israel; for a meal offering, and for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings, to make atonement for them, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 045 016 All the people of the land shall give unto this oblation for the prince in Israel. 026 EZE 045 017 And it shall be the prince’s part to give the burnt offerings, and the meal offerings, and the drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meal offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make atonement 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 bullock without blemish; and thou shalt cleanse the sanctuary. 026 EZE 045 019 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and put it upon the door posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court. 026 EZE 045 020 And so thou shalt do on the seventh [day] of the month for every one that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye make atonement for 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 bullock for a sin offering. 026 EZE 045 023 And the seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to the LORD, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a he-goat daily for a sin offering. 026 EZE 045 024 And he shall prepare a meal offering, an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and an hin of oil to an ephah. 026 EZE 045 025 In the seventh [month], in the fifteenth day of the month, in the feast, shall he do the like the seven days; according to the sin offering, according to the burnt offering, and according to the meal 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 day 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 the gate without, 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 And the people of the land shall worship at the door of that 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 unto the LORD shall be in the sabbath day six lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish; 026 EZE 046 005 and the meal offering shall be an ephah for the ram, and the meal offering for the lambs as he is 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 bullock without blemish; and six lambs, and a ram; they shall be without blemish: 026 EZE 046 007 and he shall prepare a meal offering, an ephah for the bullock, and an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs according as he is 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 the gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof. 026 EZE 046 009 But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in the appointed feasts, he that entereth by the way of the north gate to worship shall go forth 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 whereby he came in, but shall go forth straight before him. 026 EZE 046 010 And the prince, when they go in, shall go in in the midst of them; and when they go forth, they shall go forth [together]. 026 EZE 046 011 And in the feasts and in the solemnities the meal offering shall be an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs as he is able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah. 026 EZE 046 012 And when the prince shall prepare a freewill offering, a burnt offering or peace offerings as a freewill offering unto the LORD, one shall open for him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he doth on the sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate. 026 EZE 046 013 And thou shalt prepare a lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering unto the LORD daily: morning by morning shalt thou prepare it. 026 EZE 046 014 And thou shalt prepare a meal offering with it morning by morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to moisten the fine flour; a meal offering unto the LORD continually by a perpetual ordinance; 026 EZE 046 015 Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meal offering, and the oil, morning by morning, for a continual burnt offering. 026 EZE 046 016 Thus saith the Lord GOD: If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, it is his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance. 026 EZE 046 017 But if he give of his inheritance a gift to one of his servants, it shall be his to the year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince; but as for his inheritance, it shall be for his sons. 026 EZE 046 018 Moreover the prince shall not take of the people’s inheritance, to thrust them out of their possession; he shall give inheritance to his sons out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered every man from his possession. 026 EZE 046 019 Then he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers for the priests, which looked toward the north: and behold, there was a place on the hinder part westward. 026 EZE 046 020 And he said unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the guilt offering and the sin offering, where they shall bake the meal offering; that they bring them not forth 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 enclosed, forty [cubits] long and thirty broad: these four in the corners were of one measure. 026 EZE 046 023 And there was a row [of building] round about in them, round about the four, and it was made with boiling places under the rows round about. 026 EZE 046 024 Then said he unto me, These are the boiling houses, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people. 026 EZE 047 001 And he brought me back unto the door of the house; and behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward, for the forefront of the house was toward the east: and the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, on the south of the altar. 026 EZE 047 002 Then brought he me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me round by the way without unto the outer gate, by the way of [the gate] that looketh toward the east; and behold, there ran out waters on the right side. 026 EZE 047 003 When the man went forth eastward with the line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the ankles. 026 EZE 047 004 Again he measured a thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and caused me to pass through [the waters], waters that were to the loins. 026 EZE 047 005 Afterward he measured a thousand; [and it was] a river that I could not pass through: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed through. 026 EZE 047 006 And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen [this]? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the bank of the river. 026 EZE 047 007 Now when I had returned, behold, upon the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other. 026 EZE 047 008 Then said he unto me, These waters issue forth toward the eastern region, and shall go down into the Arabah: and they shall go toward the sea; into the sea [shall the waters go] which were made to issue forth; and the waters shall be healed. 026 EZE 047 009 And it shall come to pass, that every living creature which swarmeth, in every place whither the rivers come, shall live; and there shall be a very great multitude of fish: for these waters are come thither, and [the waters of the sea] shall be healed, and every thing shall live whithersoever the river cometh. 026 EZE 047 010 And it shall come to pass, that fishers shall stand by it: from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim shall be a place for the spreading of nets; their fish shall be after their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many. 026 EZE 047 011 But the miry places thereof, and the marishes thereof, shall not be healed; they shall be given up to salt. 026 EZE 047 012 And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow every tree for meat, whose leaf shall not wither, neither shall the fruit thereof fail: it shall bring forth new fruit every month, because the waters thereof issue out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for healing. 026 EZE 047 013 Thus saith the Lord GOD: This shall be the border, whereby ye shall divide the land for inheritance according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph [shall have] portions. 026 EZE 047 014 And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another; concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance. 026 EZE 047 015 And this shall be the border of the land: on the north side, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, unto the entering in of Zedad; 026 EZE 047 016 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer-hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran. 026 EZE 047 017 And the border from the sea shall be Hazar-enon at the border of Damascus, and on the north northward is the border of Hamath. This is the north side. 026 EZE 047 018 And the east side, between Hauran and Damascus and Gilead, and the land of Israel, shall be Jordan; from the [north] border unto the east sea shall ye measure. This is the east side. 026 EZE 047 019 And the south side southward shall be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meriboth-kadesh, to the brook [of Egypt], unto the great sea. This is the south side southward. 026 EZE 047 020 And the west side shall be the great sea, from the [south] border as far as over against the entering in of Hamath. This is the west side. 026 EZE 047 021 So shall ye divide this land unto 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 unto you and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you; and they shall be unto you as the homeborn 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, beside the way of Hethlon to the entering in of Hamath, Hazer-enan at the border of Damascus, northward beside Hamath; and they shall have their sides east [and] west; Dan, one [portion]. 026 EZE 048 002 And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west side; Asher, one [portion]. 026 EZE 048 003 And by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side; Naphtali, one [portion]. 026 EZE 048 004 And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side; Manasseh, one [portion]. 026 EZE 048 005 And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west side; Ephraim, one [portion]. 026 EZE 048 006 And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west side; Reuben, one [portion]. 026 EZE 048 007 And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side; Judah, [portion]. 026 EZE 048 008 And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the oblation which ye shall offer, five and twenty thousand [reeds] in breadth, and in length as one of the portions, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it. 026 EZE 048 009 The oblation that ye shall offer unto the LORD shall be five and twenty thousand [reeds] in length, and ten thousand in breadth. 026 EZE 048 010 And for these, even for the priests, shall be the 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 thereof. 026 EZE 048 011 [It shall be] for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, which have kept my charge; which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray. 026 EZE 048 012 And it shall be unto them an oblation from the oblation of the land, a thing most holy, by the border of the Levites. 026 EZE 048 013 And answerable unto 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 it, nor shall the firstfruits of the land be alienated: for it is holy unto the LORD. 026 EZE 048 015 And the five thousand that are left in the breadth, in front of the five and twenty thousand, shall be for common use, for the city, for dwelling and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst thereof. 026 EZE 048 016 And these shall be the measures thereof; 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 city shall have suburbs; 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 residue in the length, answerable unto the holy oblation, shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: and it shall be answerable unto the holy oblation; and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that labour in the city. 026 EZE 048 019 And they that labour in the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall till it. 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 residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation and of the possession of the city, in front of the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward in front of the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, answerable unto the portions, it shall be for the prince: and the holy oblation and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof. 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 And as for the rest of the tribes: from the east side unto the west side; Benjamin, one [portion]. 026 EZE 048 024 And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side; Simeon, one [portion]. 026 EZE 048 025 And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side; Issachar, one [portion]. 026 EZE 048 026 And by the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the west side; Zebulun, one [portion]. 026 EZE 048 027 And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side; Gad, one [portion]. 026 EZE 048 028 And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar unto the waters of Meribath-kadesh, to the brook [of Egypt], unto the great sea. 026 EZE 048 029 This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their several portions, saith the Lord GOD. 026 EZE 048 030 And these are the goings out of the city; on the north side four thousand and five hundred [reeds] by measure: 026 EZE 048 031 and the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel; three gates northward: the gate of Reuben, one; the gate of Judah, one; the gate of Levi, one: 026 EZE 048 032 And at the east side four thousand and five hundred [reeds]; and three gates: even the gate of Joseph, one; the gate of Benjamin, one; the gate of Dan, one: 026 EZE 048 033 And at the south side four thousand and five hundred [reeds] by measure; and three gates: the gate of Simeon, one; the gate of Issachar, one; the gate of Zebulun, one. 026 EZE 048 034 At the west side four thousand and five hundred [reeds], with their three gates: the gate of Gad, one; the gate of Asher, one; the gate of Naphtali, one. 026 EZE 048 035 It shall be eighteen thousand [reeds] round about: 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 unto 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; and he carried them 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 spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in [certain] of the children of Israel, even of the seed royal and of the nobles; 027 DAN 001 004 youths in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability to stand in the king’s palace; and that he should teach them the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans. 027 DAN 001 005 And the king appointed for them a daily portion of the king’s meat, and of the wine which he drank, and that they should be nourished three years; that at the end thereof 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 And the prince of the eunuchs gave names unto them: unto Daniel he gave [the name of] Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, [of] Shadrach; and to Mishael, [of] Meshach; and to Azariah, [of] Abed-nego. 027 DAN 001 008 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king’s meat, 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 made Daniel to find favour and compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs. 027 DAN 001 010 And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Darnel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse liking than the youths which are of your own age? so should ye endanger my head with the king. 027 DAN 001 011 Then said Daniel to the steward, whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: 027 DAN 001 012 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink. 027 DAN 001 013 Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the youths that eat of the king’s meat; and as thou seest, deal with thy servants. 027 DAN 001 014 So he hearkened unto them in this matter, and proved them ten days. 027 DAN 001 015 And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer, and they were fatter in flesh, than all the youths which did eat of the king’s meat. 027 DAN 001 016 So the steward took away their meat, and the wine that they should drink, and gave them pulse. 027 DAN 001 017 Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. 027 DAN 001 018 And at the end of the days which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. 027 DAN 001 019 And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king. 027 DAN 001 020 And in every matter of wisdom and understanding, concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters that were in all his realm. 027 DAN 001 021 And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus. 027 DAN 002 001 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams; and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him. 027 DAN 002 002 Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the enchanters, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king. 027 DAN 002 003 And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream. 027 DAN 002 004 Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in the Syrian language, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation. 027 DAN 002 005 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye make not known unto me the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill. 027 DAN 002 006 But if ye shew the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore shew me the dream and the interpretation thereof. 027 DAN 002 007 They answered the second time and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation. 027 DAN 002 008 The king answered and said, I know of a certain that ye would gain time, because ye see the thing is gone from me. 027 DAN 002 009 But if ye make not known unto me the dream, there is but one law 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 shew me the interpretation thereof. 027 DAN 002 010 The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king’s matter: forasmuch as no king, lord, nor ruler, hath asked such a thing of any magician, or enchanter, or Chaldean. 027 DAN 002 011 And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can shew 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 So the decree went forth, and the wise men were to be slain; and they sought Daniel and his companions to be slain. 027 DAN 002 014 Then Daniel returned answer with counsel and prudence to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon; 027 DAN 002 015 he answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, Wherefore is the decree so urgent from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel. 027 DAN 002 016 And Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would appoint him a time, and he would shew 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 unto Daniel in a vision of the night. 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 unto 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 now made known unto me what we desired of thee: for thou hast made known unto us the king’s matter. 027 DAN 002 024 Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the interpretation. 027 DAN 002 025 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judah, that will make known unto 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 unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof? 027 DAN 002 027 Daniel answered before the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded can neither wise men, enchanters, magicians, nor soothsayers, shew unto the king; 027 DAN 002 028 but there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and he hath made 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 hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets hath made 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 to the intent that the interpretation may be made known 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 image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the aspect thereof was terrible. 027 DAN 002 032 As for this image, his head 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 that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them in pieces. 027 DAN 002 035 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; 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 thereof before the king. 027 DAN 002 037 Thou, O king, art king of kings, unto whom the God of heaven hath given the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the glory; 027 DAN 002 038 and wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee to rule over them all: thou art the 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 crusheth all these, shall it break in pieces and crush. 027 DAN 002 041 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with 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 whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron doth not mingle with clay. 027 DAN 002 044 And in the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty thereof be left to another 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 a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake 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 hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof 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 unto him. 027 DAN 002 047 The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, sing thou hast been able to reveal this secret. 027 DAN 002 048 Then the king made Daniel great, and gave him many great gifts, and made him to rule over the whole province of Babylon, and to be chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon. 027 DAN 002 049 And Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel was in the gate of the king. 027 DAN 003 001 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof 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 satraps, the deputies, and the governors, 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 satraps, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto 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 the herald cried aloud, to you it is commanded, O peoples, 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 whoso 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 peoples heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. 027 DAN 003 008 Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and brought accusation against the Jews. 027 DAN 003 009 They answered and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king, 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 whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. 027 DAN 003 012 There are certain Jews whom thou hast appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; 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 Abed-nego. Then they brought these men before the king. 027 DAN 003 014 Nebuchadnezzar answered and said unto them, Is it of purpose, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, that ye serve not my god, 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 Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer thee in this matter. 027 DAN 003 017 If it be [so], our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. 027 DAN 003 018 But if not, be it known unto 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 Abed-nego: [therefore] he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was wont to be heated. 027 DAN 003 020 And he commanded certain mighty men that were in is army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, [and] to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. 027 DAN 003 021 Then these men were bound in their hosen, their tunics, and their mantles, 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 slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. 027 DAN 003 023 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. 027 DAN 003 024 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste: he spake and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto 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 aspect of the fourth is like a son of the gods. 027 DAN 003 026 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace: he spake and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, came forth out of the midst of the fire. 027 DAN 003 027 And the satraps, the deputies, and the governors, and the king’s counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power upon their bodies, nor was the hair of their head singed, neither were their hosen changed, nor had the smell of fire passed on them. 027 DAN 003 028 Nebuchadnezzar spake and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and have 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 Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dung-hill: because there is no other god that is able to deliver after this sort. 027 DAN 003 030 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, in the province of Babylon. 027 DAN 004 001 Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all the peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; peace be multiplied unto you. 027 DAN 004 002 It hath seemed good unto me to shew the signs and wonders that the Most 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 mine house, and flourishing in my palace. 027 DAN 004 005 I saw a dream which made me afraid; the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me. 027 DAN 004 006 Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream. 027 DAN 004 007 Then came in the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof. 027 DAN 004 008 But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and I told the dream before him, [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 thereof. 027 DAN 004 010 Thus were the visions of my head upon my bed: I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great. 027 DAN 004 011 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth. 027 DAN 004 012 The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the branches thereof, and all flesh was fed of 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 his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches. 027 DAN 004 015 Nevertheless leave the stump of his 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 his 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 unto him; and let seven times pass over him. 027 DAN 004 017 The sentence 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 whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the lowest of men. 027 DAN 004 018 This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen: and thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto 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 astonied for a while, and his thoughts troubled him. The king answered and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream or the interpretation, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine adversaries. 027 DAN 004 020 The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto the heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth; 027 DAN 004 021 whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of the 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 unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth. 027 DAN 004 023 And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of the roots thereof 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 his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him; 027 DAN 004 024 this is the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of the Most High, which is come upon my lord the king: 027 DAN 004 025 that thou shalt be driven from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and thou shalt be made to eat grass as oxen, and shalt be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee; till thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. 027 DAN 004 026 And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule. 027 DAN 004 027 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if there 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 was walking in the royal palace of Babylon. 027 DAN 004 030 The king spake and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling place, by the might of my power and for the glory 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 is departed from thee. 027 DAN 004 032 and thou shalt be driven from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; thou shalt be made to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee; until thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. 027 DAN 004 033 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hair was 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 mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom 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 unto him, What doest thou? 027 DAN 004 036 At the same time mine understanding returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added unto me. 027 DAN 004 037 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven; for all his 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, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, might drink therein. 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 lords, 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 the fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister 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 in him, and his thoughts troubled him; and 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 enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king spake and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with purple, 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. 027 DAN 005 009 Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed. 027 DAN 005 010 [Now] the queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house: the queen spake 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: and the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, [I say], thy father, made him master of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers; 027 DAN 005 012 forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of dark sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation. 027 DAN 005 013 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. The king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah? 027 DAN 005 014 I have 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 enchanters, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof: but they could not shew the interpretation of the thing. 027 DAN 005 016 But I have heard of thee, that thou canst give interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, 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; nevertheless I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation. 027 DAN 005 018 O thou king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty: 027 DAN 005 019 and because of the greatness that he gave him, all the peoples, 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 raised up, and whom he would he put down. 027 DAN 005 020 But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened that he dealt proudly, 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 asses; he was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven: until he knew that the Most High God ruleth in the kingdom of men, and that he setteth up over it whomsoever he will. 027 DAN 005 022 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine 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, hast thou not glorified: 027 DAN 005 024 Then was the part of the hand sent from before him, and this writing was inscribed. 027 DAN 005 025 And this is the writing that was inscribed, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. 027 DAN 005 026 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and brought it to an end. 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 purple, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom. 027 DAN 005 030 In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean king was slain. 027 DAN 005 031 And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old. 027 DAN 006 001 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty satraps, which should be throughout the whole kingdom; 027 DAN 006 002 and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one; that these satraps might give account unto them, and that the king should have no damage. 027 DAN 006 003 Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the satraps, 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 the satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find none 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 satraps assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever. 027 DAN 006 007 All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the satraps, the counsellors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong interdict, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions. 027 DAN 006 008 Now, O king, establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. 027 DAN 006 009 Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the interdict. 027 DAN 006 010 And when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; (now his windows were open in his chamber toward Jerusalem; ) and he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. 027 DAN 006 011 Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God. 027 DAN 006 012 Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king’s interdict; Hast thou not signed an interdict, that every man that shall make petition unto any god or man within thirty days, save unto 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 answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the interdict 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 sore displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured till the going down of the sun to rescue him. 027 DAN 006 015 Then these men assembled together unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no interdict 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 spake and said unto 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 nothing might 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 fled from him. 027 DAN 006 019 Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions. 027 DAN 006 020 And when he came near unto the den to Daniel, he cried with a lamentable voice: the king spake 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 unto the king, O king, live for ever. 027 DAN 006 022 My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, and 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, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he had trusted in his God. 027 DAN 006 024 And the king commanded, and they brought those men which 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 brake all their bones in pieces, or ever they came at the bottom of the den. 027 DAN 006 025 Then king Darius wrote unto all the peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you. 027 DAN 006 026 I make a decree, that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end: 027 DAN 006 027 He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in 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 spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven brake forth upon the great sea. 027 DAN 007 003 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. 027 DAN 007 004 The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it. 027 DAN 007 005 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in his mouth between his teeth: and they said thus unto 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, terrible and powerful, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet: and it was diverse 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 horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were 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 thrones were placed, and one that was ancient of days did sit: his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, [and] the wheels thereof burning fire. 027 DAN 007 010 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto 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 at that time because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake; I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and he was given to be burned with fire. 027 DAN 007 012 And as for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time. 027 DAN 007 013 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like unto a son of man, and he came even 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 the peoples, 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 As for me Daniel, my spirit was grieved in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me. 027 DAN 007 016 I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth concerning 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 receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. 027 DAN 007 019 Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was diverse from all of them, exceeding terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; 027 DAN 007 020 and concerning the ten horns that were on his head, and the other [horn] which came up, and before which three fell; even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake 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 a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. 027 DAN 007 024 And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise: and another shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down three kings. 027 DAN 007 025 And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High: and he shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time. 027 DAN 007 026 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. 027 DAN 007 027 And the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: his 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 was 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 unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first. 027 DAN 008 002 And I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in Shushan the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai. 027 DAN 008 003 Then I lifted up mine 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; and no beasts could stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself. 027 DAN 008 005 And as I was considering, behold, an he-goat came from the west over 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 the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran upon him in the fury of his power. 027 DAN 008 007 And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him: but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled upon him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand. 027 DAN 008 008 And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable [horns] toward the four winds of heaven. 027 DAN 008 009 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious [land]. 027 DAN 008 010 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled upon them. 027 DAN 008 011 Yea, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the host; and it took away from him the continual [burnt offering], and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. 027 DAN 008 012 And the host was given over [to it] together with the continual [burnt offering] through transgression; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it did [its pleasure] and prospered. 027 DAN 008 013 Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said unto that certain one which spake, How long shall be the vision [concerning] the continual [burnt offering], and the transgression that maketh desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? 027 DAN 008 014 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred evenings [and] mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. 027 DAN 008 015 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it; and, behold, there stood before me as 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 affrighted, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man; for the vision belongeth to the time of the end. 027 DAN 008 018 Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep, with 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 latter time of the indignation: for it belongeth to the appointed time of the end. 027 DAN 008 020 The ram which thou sawest that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia. 027 DAN 008 021 And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. 027 DAN 008 022 And as for that which was broken, in the place whereof four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with 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 do [his pleasure]: and he shall destroy the mighty ones and the holy people. 027 DAN 008 025 And through his policy he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and in [their] security shall he 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 evenings and mornings which hath been told is true: but shut thou up the vision; for it belongeth to many days [to come]. 027 DAN 008 027 And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, 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, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans; 027 DAN 009 002 in the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by the books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, for the accomplishing of the desolations of Jerusalem, even seventy years. 027 DAN 009 003 And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes. 027 DAN 009 004 And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments; 027 DAN 009 005 we have sinned, and have dealt perversely, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even turning aside from thy precepts and from thy judgments: 027 DAN 009 006 neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake 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 unto thee, but unto us confusion of face, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither 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; for 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 Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even turning aside, that they should not obey thy voice: therefore hath the curse been poured out upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God; for we have sinned against him. 027 DAN 009 012 And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as 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 have we not entreated the favour of the LORD our God, that we should turn from our iniquities, and have discernment in thy truth. 027 DAN 009 014 Therefore hath the LORD watched over the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth, and we have not obeyed his voice. 027 DAN 009 015 And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly. 027 DAN 009 016 O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, let thine anger and thy fury, I pray thee, 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 are become a reproach to all that are round about us. 027 DAN 009 017 Now therefore, O our God, hearken unto the prayer of thy servant, and to 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 thine ear, and hear; open thine 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 thine own sake, O my God, because thy city and thy people are called by thy name. 027 DAN 009 020 And whiles 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, whiles I was speaking in prayer, 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 instructed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to make thee skilful of understanding. 027 DAN 009 023 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment went forth, and I am come to tell thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore consider the matter, and understand the vision. 027 DAN 009 024 Seventy weeks are decreed upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy. 027 DAN 009 025 Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the anointed one, the prince, shall be seven weeks: and threescore and two weeks, it shall be built again, with street and moat, even in troublous times. 027 DAN 009 026 And after the threescore and two weeks shall the anointed one be cut off, and shall have nothing: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and his end shall be with a flood, and even unto the end shall be war; desolations are determined. 027 DAN 009 027 And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and for the half of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease; and upon the wing of abominations [shall come] one that maketh desolate; and even unto the consummation, and that determined, shall [wrath] be poured out upon the desolator. 027 DAN 010 001 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, even a great warfare: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision. 027 DAN 010 002 In those days I Daniel was mourning three whole 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 I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with pure 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 burnished 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, and they fled to hide themselves. 027 DAN 010 008 So 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 heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I fallen into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground. 027 DAN 010 010 And, behold, a hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands. 027 DAN 010 011 And he said unto me, O Daniel, thou man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright; for unto thee am I now sent: and when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling. 027 DAN 010 012 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel; for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and, to humble thyself before thy God, thy words were heard: and I am come for thy words’ sake. 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 am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for the vision is yet for [many] days. 027 DAN 010 015 and when he had spoken unto me according to these words, I set my face toward the ground, and was 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 spake and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by reason of the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I retain no strength. 027 DAN 010 017 For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither was there breath left in me. 027 DAN 010 018 Then there touched me again one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me. 027 DAN 010 019 And he said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he spake unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me. 027 DAN 010 020 Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I am come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I go forth, lo, the prince of Greece shall come. 027 DAN 010 021 But I will tell thee that which is inscribed in the writing of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me against these, but Michael your prince. 027 DAN 011 001 And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him. 027 DAN 011 002 And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and when he is waxed strong 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; but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion wherewith he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside these. 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 at the end of years they shall join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the strength of her 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 those times. 027 DAN 011 007 But out of a shoot from her roots shall one stand up in his place, which shall come unto the 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 also their gods, with their molten images, [and] with their goodly vessels of silver and of gold, shall he carry captive into Egypt; and he shall refrain some years from the king of the north. 027 DAN 011 009 And he shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land. 027 DAN 011 010 And his sons shall war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces which shall come on, and overflow, and pass through: and they shall return and war, even to his fortress. 027 DAN 011 011 And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude, and the multitude shall be given into his hand. 027 DAN 011 012 And the multitude shall be lifted up, and his heart shall be exalted: and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail. 027 DAN 011 013 And the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former; and he shall come on at the end of the times, [even of] years, with a great army and with much substance. 027 DAN 011 014 And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the children of the violent among thy people shall lift themselves up to establish the vision; but they shall fall. 027 DAN 011 015 So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take a well fenced city: 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, and in his hand shall be destruction. 027 DAN 011 017 And he shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; and he shall do [his pleasure]: and he shall give him the daughter of women, to corrupt her; but she shall not stand, neither be for him. 027 DAN 011 018 After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; yea, moreover, he shall cause his reproach 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 shall not be found. 027 DAN 011 020 Then shall stand up in his place one that shall cause an exactor to pass through 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 place shall stand up a contemptible person, to whom they had not given the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in time of security, and shall obtain the kingdom by flatteries. 027 DAN 011 022 And with the arms of a flood shall they be swept away 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 In time of security shall he come even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them prey, and spoil, and substance: yea, he shall devise his devices 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 war in battle with an exceeding great and mighty army: but he shall not stand, for they shall devise devices against him. 027 DAN 011 026 Yea, they that eat of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain. 027 DAN 011 027 And as for both these kings, their 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 substance; and his heart [shall be] against the holy covenant; and he shall do [his pleasure], and return to his own land. 027 DAN 011 029 At the time appointed he shall return, and come into the south; but it shall not be in the latter time as it was in the former. 027 DAN 011 030 For ships of Kittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be grieved, and shall return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and shall do [his pleasure]: he shall even return, and have regard unto them that forsake the holy covenant. 027 DAN 011 031 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and shall take away the continual [burnt offering]; and they shall set up the abomination that maketh desolate. 027 DAN 011 032 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he pervert by flatteries: but the people that know their God shall be strong, and do [exploits]. 027 DAN 011 033 And they that be wise 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 holpen with a little help: but many shall join themselves unto them with flatteries. 027 DAN 011 035 And some of them that be wise shall fall, to refine them, and to purify, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for the 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 marvelous things against the God of gods: and he shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished; for that which is determined shall be done. 027 DAN 011 037 Neither shall he regard the gods 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 place shall he honour the god of fortresses: 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 And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a strange god; whosoever acknowledgeth [him] he will increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for a price. 027 DAN 011 040 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south contend with 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 be delivered out of his hand, 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 Ethiopians shall be at his steps. 027 DAN 011 044 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: and he shall go forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to make away many. 027 DAN 011 045 And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the sea and 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 which 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 be 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 other two, the one on the brink of the river on this side, and the other on the brink of the river on that side. 027 DAN 012 006 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which 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, which was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth fear ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces 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 issue of these things? 027 DAN 012 009 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are shut up and sealed till the time of the end. 027 DAN 012 010 Many shall purify themselves; and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand: but they that be wise shall understand. 027 DAN 012 011 And from the time that the continual [burnt offering] 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 be: for thou shalt rest, and shalt 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 unto 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 When the LORD spake at the first by Hosea, the LORD said unto Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredom and children of whoredom: for the land doth commit great whoredom, departing from the LORD. 028 HOS 001 003 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived, and bare him a son. 028 HOS 001 004 And the LORD said unto 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 the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease. 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 bare a daughter. And [the LORD] said unto him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel, that I should in any wise pardon them. 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 Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son. 028 HOS 001 009 And [the LORD] said, Call his name Lo-ammi: 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 unto them, Ye are not my people, it shall be said unto them, [Ye are] the sons of the living God. 028 HOS 001 011 And the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall go up from the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel. 028 HOS 002 001 Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah. 028 HOS 002 002 Plead with your mother, plead; for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: and let her put away her whoredoms from her face, 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 slay her with thirst; 028 HOS 002 004 Yea, upon her children will I have no mercy; for they be children of whoredom. 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, mine oil and my drink. 028 HOS 002 006 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and I will make a fence against her, 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 the corn, and the wine, and the oil, and multiplied unto her silver and gold, which they used for Baal. 028 HOS 002 009 Therefore will I take back my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness. 028 HOS 002 010 And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand. 028 HOS 002 011 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feasts, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies. 028 HOS 002 012 And I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my hire 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 visit upon her the days of the Baalim, unto which she burned incense; when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the LORD. 028 HOS 002 014 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her. 028 HOS 002 015 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall make answer there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of 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 the Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be mentioned 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 land, and will make them to lie down safely. 028 HOS 002 019 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies. 028 HOS 002 020 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD. 028 HOS 002 021 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will answer, saith the LORD, I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer the earth; 028 HOS 002 022 and the earth shall answer the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall answer Jezreel. 028 HOS 002 023 And I wilt sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, [Thou art] my God. 028 HOS 003 001 And the LORD said unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of [her] friend and an adulteress, even as the LORD loveth the children of Israel, though they turn unto other gods, and love cakes of raisins. 028 HOS 003 002 So I bought her to me for fifteen [pieces] of silver, and an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley: 028 HOS 003 003 and I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be any man’s wife: so will I also be toward thee. 028 HOS 003 004 For the children of Israel shall abide many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without pillar, and without ephod or teraphim. 028 HOS 003 005 afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall come with fear unto the LORD and to 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 There is nought but swearing and breaking faith, 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 therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field and the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away. 028 HOS 004 004 Yet let no man strive, neither let any man reprove; for thy people are as they that strive with the priest. 028 HOS 004 005 And thou shalt stumble in the day, and the prophet also shall stumble 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 also will forget thy children. 028 HOS 004 007 As they were multiplied, so they sinned against me: I will change their glory into shame. 028 HOS 004 008 They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity. 028 HOS 004 009 And it shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and will reward them their doings. 028 HOS 004 010 And they shall eat, and not have enough; they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD. 028 HOS 004 011 Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the understanding. 028 HOS 004 012 My people ask counsel at their stock, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredom hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring 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 terebinths, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters commit whoredom, and your brides commit adultery. 028 HOS 004 014 I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your brides when they commit adultery; for they themselves go apart with whores, and they sacrifice with the harlots: and the people that doth not understand shall be overthrown. 028 HOS 004 015 Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, As the LORD liveth. 028 HOS 004 016 For Israel hath behaved himself stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer: now will the LORD 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 become sour: they commit whoredom continually; her rulers dearly love shame. 028 HOS 004 019 The wind hath wrapped her up in its wings; and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices. 028 HOS 005 001 Hear this, O ye priests, and hearken, ye house of Israel, and give ear, O house of the king, for unto you pertain the judgment; for ye have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor. 028 HOS 005 002 And the revolters are gone deep in making slaughter; but I am a rebuker of them all. 028 HOS 005 003 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou hast committed whoredom, Israel is defiled. 028 HOS 005 004 Their doings will not suffer them to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredom is within them, and they know not the LORD. 028 HOS 005 005 And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity; Judah also shall stumble 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 borne strange children: now shall the new moon devour them with their fields. 028 HOS 005 008 Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: sound an alarm at Beth-aven; behind thee, O Benjamin. 028 HOS 005 009 Ephraim shall become a desolation 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 are like them that remove the landmark: I will pour out my wrath upon them like water. 028 HOS 005 011 Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment; because he was content to walk after the command. 028 HOS 005 012 Therefore am I unto 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 went Ephraim to Assyria, and sent to king Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither shall he cure you of your wound. 028 HOS 005 014 For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will carry off, and there shall be none to deliver. 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 earnestly. 028 HOS 006 001 Come, and let us return unto 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: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him. 028 HOS 006 003 And let us know, let us follow on to know the LORD; his going forth is sure as the morning: and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth. 028 HOS 006 004 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goeth early 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 desire mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. 028 HOS 006 007 But they like Adam have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me. 028 HOS 006 008 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, it is stained with blood. 028 HOS 006 009 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way toward Shechem; yea, they have committed lewdness. 028 HOS 006 010 In the house of Israel I have seen an horrible thing: there whoredom is [found] in Ephraim, Israel is defiled. 028 HOS 006 011 Also, O Judah, there is an harvest appointed for thee, when I bring again the captivity of my people. 028 HOS 007 001 When I would heal Israel, then is the iniquity of Ephraim discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood: and the thief entereth in, [and] the troop of robbers spoileth without. 028 HOS 007 002 And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now have their own doings beset them about; 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; they are as an oven heated by the baker; he ceaseth to stir [the fire], from the kneading of the dough until it be leavened. 028 HOS 007 005 On the day of our king the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners. 028 HOS 007 006 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles 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 devour their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me. 028 HOS 007 008 Ephraim, he mixeth himself among the peoples; 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, and he knoweth [it] not. 028 HOS 007 010 And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: yet they have not returned unto the LORD their God, nor sought him, for all this. 028 HOS 007 011 And Ephraim is like a silly dove, without understanding: they call unto 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 unto them! for they have wandered from me; destruction unto them! for they have trespassed against me: though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against me. 028 HOS 007 014 And they have not cried unto me with their heart, but they howl upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, they rebel against me. 028 HOS 007 015 Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me. 028 HOS 007 016 They return, but not to [him that is] on 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. As an eagle [he cometh] against the house of the LORD: because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law. 028 HOS 008 002 They shall cry unto me, My God, we Israel know thee. 028 HOS 008 003 Israel hath cast off that which 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 them idols, that they may be cut off. 028 HOS 008 005 He hath cast off thy calf, O Samaria; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency? 028 HOS 008 006 For from Israel is even this; the workman made it, and it is no God: yea, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces. 028 HOS 008 007 For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: he hath no standing corn; the blade shall yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up. 028 HOS 008 008 Israel is swallowed up: now are they among the nations as a vessel wherein is no pleasure. 028 HOS 008 009 For they are gone up to Assyria, [like] a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers. 028 HOS 008 010 Yea, though they hire among the nations, now will I gather them; and they begin to be minished by reason of the burden of the king of princes. 028 HOS 008 011 Because Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin, altars have been unto him to sin. 028 HOS 008 012 Though I write for him my law in ten thousand [precepts], they are counted as a strange thing. 028 HOS 008 013 As for the sacrifices of mine offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not: now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins; they shall return to Egypt. 028 HOS 008 014 For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and builded palaces; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the castles thereof. 028 HOS 009 001 Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, like the peoples; for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved hire upon every cornfloor. 028 HOS 009 002 The threshing-floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail 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 food in Assyria. 028 HOS 009 004 They shall not pour out wine [offerings] to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for their bread shall be for their appetite; it shall not come into the house of the LORD. 028 HOS 009 005 What will ye do in the day of solemn assembly, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?

Hath this been in your days, or 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 howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the sweet 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; his teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the jaw teeth of a great lion. 029 JOE 001 007 He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof 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 meal 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 corn is wasted, the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth. 029 JOE 001 011 Be ashamed, O ye husbandmen, howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; for the harvest of the field is perished. 029 JOE 001 012 The vine is withered, 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: for joy is withered away from the sons of men. 029 JOE 001 013 Gird yourselves [with sackcloth], and lament, ye priests; howl, ye ministers of the altar; come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meal offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God. 029 JOE 001 014 Sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the old men [and] all the inhabitants of the land unto the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD. 029 JOE 001 015 Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as destruction from the Almighty shall it come, 029 JOE 001 016 Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, [yea], joy and gladness from the house of our God? 029 JOE 001 017 The seeds rot under their clods; the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn 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 do 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 Yea, the beasts of the field pant unto thee: for the water brooks 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 nigh at hand; 029 JOE 002 002 a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as the dawn spread upon the mountains; a great people and a strong, there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after them, 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 none hath escaped them. 029 JOE 002 004 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so do they run. 029 JOE 002 005 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains do 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 At their presence the peoples are in anguish: all faces are waxed pale. 029 JOE 002 007 They run like mighty men; they climb the wall like men of war; and they march every one on his ways, and they break not their ranks. 029 JOE 002 008 Neither doth one thrust another; they march every one in his path: and they burst through the weapons, and break not off [their course]. 029 JOE 002 009 They leap upon the city; they run upon the wall; they climb up into the houses; they enter in at the windows like a thief. 029 JOE 002 010 The earth quaketh before them; the heavens tremble: the sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining: 029 JOE 002 011 And the LORD uttereth 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 Yet even now, saith the LORD, turn ye unto 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 unto the LORD your God, for he is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy, and repenteth him of the evil. 029 JOE 002 014 Who knoweth whether he will not turn and repent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meal offering and a drink offering unto 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 old men, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. 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 thine heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the peoples, Where is their God? 029 JOE 002 018 Then was the LORD jealous for his land, and had pity on his people. 029 JOE 002 019 And the LORD answered and said unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations: 029 JOE 002 020 but I will remove far off from you the northern [army], and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, his forepart into the eastern sea, and his hinder part into the western 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 hath done 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 her 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 giveth you the former rain in just measure, and he causeth 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 shall 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 there is 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 shew wonders in the heavens and in 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 come. 029 JOE 002 032 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those that escape, as the LORD hath said, and among the remnant those whom the LORD doth 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 gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted 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 are ye to me, [O] Tyre, and Zidon, and all the regions of Philistia? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head. 029 JOE 003 005 Forasmuch as ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things; 029 JOE 003 006 the children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the sons of the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border: 029 JOE 003 007 behold, I will stir them up out of the place whither 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 men of Sheba, to a nation far off: for the LORD hath spoken it. 029 JOE 003 009 Proclaim ye this among the nations; prepare war: stir 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 Haste ye, and come, all ye nations round about, and gather yourselves together: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD. 029 JOE 003 012 Let the nations bestir themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the nations round about. 029 JOE 003 013 Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, tread ye; for the winepress 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 are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining. 029 JOE 003 016 And the LORD shall roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake, but the LORD will be a refuge unto his people, and a strong hold to 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 sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the brooks of Judah shall flow with waters; and a fountain shall come forth of 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 done to the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land. 029 JOE 003 020 But Judah shall abide for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. 029 JOE 003 021 And 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 shall roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem;

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 thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD. 030 AMO 002 004 Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Judah, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have rejected the law of the LORD, and have not kept his statutes, and their lies have caused them to err, after the which their fathers did walk: 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, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have sold the righteous for silver and the needy 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 unto the [same] maid, to profane my holy name: 030 AMO 002 008 and they lay themselves down beside every altar upon clothes taken in pledge, and in the house of their God they drink the wine of such as have been fined. 030 AMO 002 009 Yet destroyed I 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 up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in 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 Nazirites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the LORD. 030 AMO 002 012 But ye gave the Nazirites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not. 030 AMO 002 013 Behold, I will press [you] in your place, as a cart presseth that is full of sheaves. 030 AMO 002 014 And 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 out of the land of Egypt, saying, 030 AMO 003 002 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities. 030 AMO 003 003 Shall two walk together, except they have 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 have taken nothing? 030 AMO 003 005 Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is [set] for him? shall a snare spring up from the ground, and have taken nothing at all? 030 AMO 003 006 Shall the trumpet be blown in a city, and the people not be afraid? shalt evil befall 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 unto 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 Publish ye 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 what great tumults are therein, and what oppressions in the midst thereof. 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 round about the land: and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled. 030 AMO 003 012 Thus saith the LORD: As the shepherd rescueth out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be rescued that sit in Samaria in the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed. 030 AMO 003 013 Hear ye, and testify against the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts. 030 AMO 003 014 For in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also visit the altars of Beth-el, 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 kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say unto their lords, 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 they shall take you away with hooks, and your residue with fish hooks. 030 AMO 004 003 And ye shall go out at the breaches, every one straight before her; and ye shall cast [yourselves] into Harmon, saith the LORD. 030 AMO 004 004 Come to Beth-el, and transgress; to Gilgal, [and] multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, [and] your tithes every three days; 030 AMO 004 005 and offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim freewill offerings and publish them: for this liketh 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 unto me, saith the LORD. 030 AMO 004 007 And I also have withholden 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 whereupon it rained not withered. 030 AMO 004 008 So two or three cities wandered unto one city to drink water, and were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. 030 AMO 004 009 I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: the multitude of your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees hath the palmerworm devoured: yet have ye not returned unto 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 carried away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camp to come up even into your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. 030 AMO 004 011 I have overthrown [some] among you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a brand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. 030 AMO 004 012 Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: [and] because I will do this unto 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 unto 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 for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel. 030 AMO 005 002 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is cast down upon her land; there is none to raise her up. 030 AMO 005 003 For thus saith the Lord GOD: The city that went forth a thousand shall have an hundred left, and that which went forth an hundred shall have ten left, to the house of Israel. 030 AMO 005 004 For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live: 030 AMO 005 005 but seek not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth-el 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 it devour and there be none to quench it in Beth-el: 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 Pleiades 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 bringeth sudden destruction upon the strong, so that destruction cometh upon the fortress. 030 AMO 005 010 They hate him that reproveth in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly. 030 AMO 005 011 Forasmuch therefore as ye trample upon the poor, and take exactions from him 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 the wine thereof. 030 AMO 005 012 For I know how manifold are your transgressions, and how mighty are your sins; ye that afflict the just, that take a bribe, and that turn aside the needy in the gate [from their right]. 030 AMO 005 013 Therefore he that is prudent shall keep silence in such a 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 say. 030 AMO 005 015 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD, the God of hosts, will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph. 030 AMO 005 016 Therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord: Wailing shall be in all the broad ways; and they shall say in all the streets, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing. 030 AMO 005 017 And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through the midst of thee, saith the LORD. 030 AMO 005 018 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! wherefore would ye have the day of the LORD? it is darkness, and not light. 030 AMO 005 019 As if a man did flee 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 feasts, and I will take no delight in your solemn assemblies. 030 AMO 005 022 Yea, though ye offer me your burnt offerings and meal 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 viols. 030 AMO 005 024 But let judgment roll down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. 030 AMO 005 025 Did ye bring unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel? 030 AMO 005 026 Yea, ye have borne Siccuth your king and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. 030 AMO 005 027 Therefore will I 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 to them that are secure in the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come! 030 AMO 006 002 Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or is 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 the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall; 030 AMO 006 005 that sing idle songs to the sound of the viol; that devise for 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 revelry of them that stretched themselves shall pass away. 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 will I deliver up the city with all that is therein. 030 AMO 006 009 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die. 030 AMO 006 010 And when a man’s uncle shall take him up, even he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is in the innermost parts of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No; then shall he say, Hold thy peace; for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD. 030 AMO 006 011 For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and the great house shall be smitten with breaches, and the little house with clefts. 030 AMO 006 012 Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow [there] with oxen? that ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood: 030 AMO 006 013 ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength? 030 AMO 006 014 For, 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 entering in of Hamath unto the brook of the Arabah. 030 AMO 007 001 Thus the Lord GOD shewed me: and, behold, he formed locusts 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 made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee: how shall Jacob stand? for he is small. 030 AMO 007 003 The LORD repented concerning this: It shall not be, saith the LORD. 030 AMO 007 004 Thus the Lord GOD shewed me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire; and it devoured the great deep, and would have eaten up the land. 030 AMO 007 005 Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: how shall Jacob stand? for he is small. 030 AMO 007 006 The LORD repented concerning this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD. 030 AMO 007 007 Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand. 030 AMO 007 008 And the LORD said unto 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 Beth-el 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 his land. 030 AMO 007 012 Also Amaziah said unto 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 Beth-el: for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is a royal house. 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 dresser of sycomore trees: 030 AMO 007 015 and the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto 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 thyself shalt die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land. 030 AMO 008 001 Thus the Lord GOD shewed 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 unto me, The end is come upon my people Israel; I will not again pass by them any more. 030 AMO 008 003 And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord GOD: the dead bodies shall be many; in every place shall they cast them forth with silence. 030 AMO 008 004 Hear this, O ye that would swallow up the needy, and cause the poor of the land to fail, 030 AMO 008 005 saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat? making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit; 030 AMO 008 006 that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes, and 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 therein? yea, it shall rise up wholly like the River; and it shall be troubled and sink again, like 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 for an only son, and the end thereof 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 the young men faint for thirst. 030 AMO 008 014 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, As thy God, O Dan, liveth; and, As the way of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again. 030 AMO 009 001 I SAW the Lord standing beside the altar: and he said, Smite the chapiters, that the thresholds may shake: and break them in pieces on the head of all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: there shall not one of them flee away, and there shall not one of them escape. 030 AMO 009 002 Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; and though they climb up to heaven, thence 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 thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them. 030 AMO 009 004 And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good. 030 AMO 009 005 For the Lord, the GOD of hosts, [is] he that toucheth the land and it melteth, and all that dwell therein shall mourn; and it shall rise up wholly like the River; and shall sink again, like the River of Egypt; 030 AMO 009 006 [it is] he that buildeth his chambers in the heaven, and hath founded his vault upon 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 the children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of 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; saving 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 the nations, like as [corn] is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth. 030 AMO 009 010 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us. 030 AMO 009 011 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his 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 all the nations, which 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 Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; 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 plucked 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 tidings from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, [saying], Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle. 031 OBA 001 002 Behold, I have made thee small among the nations: thou art greatly despised. 031 OBA 001 003 The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, O 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 mount on high as the eagle, and though thy nest be set among the stars, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the LORD. 031 OBA 001 005 If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not steal till they had enough? if grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? 031 OBA 001 006 How are [the things of] Esau searched out! how are his hidden treasures sought up! 031 OBA 001 007 All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee on thy way, even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; [they that eat] thy bread lay a snare under thee: there is none understanding in him. 031 OBA 001 008 Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, 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 may be cut off from the mount of Esau by slaughter. 031 OBA 001 010 For the violence done to 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 strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them. 031 OBA 001 012 But look not thou on the day of thy brother in the day of his disaster, and rejoice not over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither speak proudly in the day of distress. 031 OBA 001 013 Enter not into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, look not thou on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither lay ye [hands] on their substance in the day of their calamity. 031 OBA 001 014 And stand thou not in the crossway, to cut off those of his that escape; and deliver not up those of his that remain in the day of distress. 031 OBA 001 015 For the day of the LORD is near upon all the nations: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee; thy dealing shall return upon thine own head. 031 OBA 001 016 For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the nations drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and swallow down, and shall be as though they had not been. 031 OBA 001 017 But in mount Zion there shall be those that escape, and it shall be holy; 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 burn among them, and devour them: and there shall not be any remaining to 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 lowland the Philistines and they shall possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria: and Benjamin [shall possess] Gilead. 031 OBA 001 020 And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel, which are [among] the Canaanites, [shall possess] even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the South. 031 OBA 001 021 And saviours shall come up on 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 unto 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 rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD; and he went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto 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 like to be broken. 032 JON 001 005 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it unto them. But Jonah was gone down into the innermost parts of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep. 032 JON 001 006 So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not. 032 JON 001 007 And they said every one to his fellow, 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 unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us; what is thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou? 032 JON 001 009 And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land. 032 JON 001 010 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, What is this that thou hast done? 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 unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea grew more and more tempestuous. 032 JON 001 012 And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you. 032 JON 001 013 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to get them back to the land; but they could not: for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them. 032 JON 001 014 Wherefore they cried unto 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 up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging. 032 JON 001 016 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows. 032 JON 001 017 And the LORD 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 unto the LORD his God out of the fish’s belly. 032 JON 002 002 And he said, I called by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he answered me; out of the belly of hell cried I, [and] thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585) 032 JON 002 003 For thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, and the flood was round about me; all thy waves and thy billows passed over me. 032 JON 002 004 And I said, am cast out from before thine eyes; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. 032 JON 002 005 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; the deep was round about me; 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 [closed] upon me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God. 032 JON 002 007 When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple. 032 JON 002 008 They that regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy. 032 JON 002 009 But I will sacrifice unto 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 spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. 032 JON 003 001 And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying, 032 JON 003 002 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. 032 JON 003 003 So Jonah arose, and went unto 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 And the people of Nineveh believed God; and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. 032 JON 003 006 And the tidings reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. 032 JON 003 007 And he made proclamation and published 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 them be covered with sackcloth, both man and beast, and let them cry mightily unto 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 knoweth whether God will not 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, which he said he would do unto them; and he did it not. 032 JON 004 001 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry. 032 JON 004 002 And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I hasted to flee unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and full of compassion, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy, and repentest thee 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 And the LORD said, Doest thou well to be angry? 032 JON 004 005 Then 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 shadow over his head, to deliver him from his evil case. So Jonah was exceeding glad because 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 arose, that God prepared a sultry east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might 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 unto death. 032 JON 004 010 And the LORD said, Thou hast had pity on the gourd; for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: 032 JON 004 011 and should not I have pity on Nineveh, that great city; wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle? # # BOOK 033 MIC Micah Micah 033 MIC 001 001 The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morashtite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem. 033 MIC 001 002 Hear, ye peoples, all of you; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: 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 out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth. 033 MIC 001 004 And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, as 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 the plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof. 033 MIC 001 007 And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her hires shall be burned with fire, and all her idols will I lay desolate: for of the hire of an harlot hath she gathered them, and unto the hire of an harlot shall they return. 033 MIC 001 008 For this will I wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the jackals, and a mourning like the ostriches. 033 MIC 001 009 For her wounds are incurable: for it is come even unto Judah; it reacheth unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem. 033 MIC 001 010 Tell it not in Gath, weep not at all: at Beth-le-Aphrah have I rolled myself in the dust. 033 MIC 001 011 Pass ye away, O inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame: the inhabitant of Zaanan is not come forth; the wailing of Beth-ezel shall take from you the stay thereof. 033 MIC 001 012 For the inhabitant of Maroth waiteth anxiously for good: because evil is come down from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem. 033 MIC 001 013 Bind the chariot to the swift steed, O inhabitant of Lachish: she was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee. 033 MIC 001 014 Therefore shalt thou give a parting gift to Moresheth-gath: the houses of Achzib shall be a deceitful thing unto the kings of Israel. 033 MIC 001 015 I will yet bring unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, him that shall possess thee: the glory of Israel shall come even unto Adullam. 033 MIC 001 016 Make thee bald, and poll thee for the children of thy delight: 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 seize them; and houses, and take them away: and 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 walk haughtily; for it is an evil time. 033 MIC 002 004 In that day shall they take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, [and] say, We be utterly spoiled: he changeth the portion of my people: how doth he remove [it] from me! to the rebellious he divideth our fields. 033 MIC 002 005 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the line by lot in the congregation of the LORD. 033 MIC 002 006 Prophesy ye not, [thus] they prophesy. They shall not prophesy to these: reproaches shall not depart. 033 MIC 002 007 Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, Is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly? 033 MIC 002 008 But of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye strip the robe from off the garment from them that pass by securely [as men] averse from war. 033 MIC 002 009 The women of my people ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children ye take away my glory for ever. 033 MIC 002 010 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because of uncleanness that destroyeth, even with a grievous destruction. 033 MIC 002 011 If a man walking in wind and falsehood do lie, [saying], I will prophesy unto 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 a flock in the midst of their pasture, they shall make great noise by reason of [the multitude of] men. 033 MIC 002 013 The breaker is gone up before them: they have broken forth and passed on to the gate, and are gone out thereat: and their king is passed on before them, and the LORD at the head of them. 033 MIC 003 001 And I said, Hear, I pray you, ye heads of Jacob, and rulers 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 off them, and their flesh from off their bones; 033 MIC 003 003 who also eat the flesh of my people; and they flay their skin from off them, and break their bones: yea, they chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron. 033 MIC 003 004 Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not answer them: yea, he will hide his face from them at that time, according as they have wrought evil in their doings. 033 MIC 003 005 Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people to err; that bite with their teeth and cry, Peace; and whoso putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him: 033 MIC 003 006 Therefore it shall be night unto you, that ye shall have no vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be black over them. 033 MIC 003 007 And the seers shall 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 I truly am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto 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 rulers 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 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD in the midst of us? no evil shall 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 a forest. 033 MIC 004 001 But in the latter days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow unto it. 033 MIC 004 002 And many nations shall go and say, Come ye, 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 out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 033 MIC 004 003 and he shall judge between many peoples, and shall reprove strong nations afar off; 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. 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 the peoples 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, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven away, and her that I have afflicted; 033 MIC 004 007 and I will make her that halted 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 hill of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come; yea, the former dominion shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem. 033 MIC 004 009 Now why dost thou cry out aloud? Is there no king in thee, is thy counsellor perished, that pangs have taken hold of thee as of 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 out of the city, and shalt dwell in the field, and shalt come even unto Babylon; there shalt thou be rescued; there shall the LORD redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies. 033 MIC 004 011 And now many nations are assembled against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye see [its desire] upon Zion. 033 MIC 004 012 But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he hath gathered them as the sheaves to the threshingfloor. 033 MIC 004 013 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many peoples: and thou shalt devote their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth. 033 MIC 005 001 Now shalt thou 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, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, which art little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall one come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting. 033 MIC 005 003 Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the residue of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. 033 MIC 005 004 And he shall stand, and shall feed [his flock] 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 unto the ends of the earth. 033 MIC 005 005 And this [man] shall be [our] 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 the entrances thereof: and he shall deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our border. 033 MIC 005 007 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples as dew from the LORD, as 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 nations, in the midst of many peoples, as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, treadeth down and teareth in pieces, and there is none to deliver. 033 MIC 005 009 Let thine hand be lifted up above thine adversaries, and let all thine enemies 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 will destroy thy chariots: 033 MIC 005 011 and I will cut off the cities of thy land, and will throw down all thy strong holds: 033 MIC 005 012 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no [more] soothsayers: 033 MIC 005 013 and I will cut off thy graven images and thy pillars out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands. 033 MIC 005 014 and I will pluck up thine Asherim out of the midst of thee: and I will destroy thy cities. 033 MIC 005 015 And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the nations which hearkened not. 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, O ye mountains, the LORD’S controversy, and ye enduring foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel. 033 MIC 006 003 O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me. 033 MIC 006 004 For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. 033 MIC 006 005 O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him; [remember] from Shittim unto Gilgal, that ye may know the righteous acts of the LORD. 033 MIC 006 006 Wherewith 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 shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? 033 MIC 006 009 The voice of the LORD crieth unto the city, and [the man of] wisdom will 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 be pure with wicked balances, and with a bag of deceitful weights? 033 MIC 006 012 For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth. 033 MIC 006 013 Therefore I also have smitten thee with a grievous wound; I have made thee desolate because of thy sins. 033 MIC 006 014 Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy humiliation shall be in the midst of thee: and thou shalt remove, but shalt not carry away safe; and that which thou carriest away will I give up to the sword. 033 MIC 006 015 Thou shalt sow, but shalt not reap: thou shalt tread the olives, but shalt not anoint thee with oil; and the vintage, but shalt not drink the 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 the inhabitants thereof an hissing; and 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 grape gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat; my soul desireth the firstripe fig. 033 MIC 007 002 The godly man is perished out of 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 Their hands are upon that which is evil to do it diligently; the prince asketh, and the judge [is ready] for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth the mischief of his soul: thus they weave it together. 033 MIC 007 004 The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is [worse] than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen, even thy visitation, is come; 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 But as for me, I will look unto 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 mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me. 033 MIC 007 009 I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him; until he 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 mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her; which said unto me, Where is the LORD thy God? Mine eyes shall behold her; now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets. 033 MIC 007 011 A day for building thy walls! in that day shall the decree be far removed. 033 MIC 007 012 In that day shall they come unto thee, from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea, and [from] mountain to mountain. 033 MIC 007 013 Yet shall the land be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings. 033 MIC 007 014 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which 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 As in the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvelous things. 033 MIC 007 016 The nations shall see and be ashamed of 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; like crawling things of the earth they shall come trembling out of their close places: they shall come with fear unto the LORD our God, and shall be afraid because of thee. 033 MIC 007 018 Who is a God like unto 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 and have compassion upon us; he will tread our iniquities under foot: 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 unto 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 The LORD is a jealous God and avengeth; the LORD avengeth and is full of wrath; the LORD taketh 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 by no means clear [the guilty]: 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 upheaved at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein. 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 broken asunder by him. 034 NAH 001 007 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that put their trust in him. 034 NAH 001 008 But with an overrunning flood he will make a full end of the place thereof, and will pursue his enemies into darkness. 034 NAH 001 009 What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make a full end: affliction shall not rise up the second time. 034 NAH 001 010 For though they be like tangled thorns, told be drenched as it were in their drink, they shall be devoured utterly as dry stubble. 034 NAH 001 011 There is one gone forth out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, that counselleth wickedness. 034 NAH 001 012 Thus saith the LORD: Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so shall they be cut down, and he shall pass away. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more. 034 NAH 001 013 And now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder. 034 NAH 001 014 And the LORD hath given 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 publisheth peace! Keep thy feasts, O Judah, perform thy vows: for the wicked one 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 munition, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily. 034 NAH 002 002 For the LORD bringeth again 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 flash with steel in the day of his preparation, and the spears are shaken terribly. 034 NAH 002 004 The chariots rage in the streets, they justle one against another in the broad ways: the appearance of them is like torches, they run like the lightnings. 034 NAH 002 005 He remembereth his worthies: they stumble in their march; they make haste to the wall thereof, and the mantelet is prepared. 034 NAH 002 006 The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace is dissolved. 034 NAH 002 007 And Huzzab is uncovered, she is carried away, and her handmaids mourn as with the voice of doves, tabering upon their breasts. 034 NAH 002 008 But Nineveh hath been from of old like a pool of water: yet they flee away; Stand, stand, [they cry]; but none looketh back. 034 NAH 002 009 Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for there is none end of the store, the glory of all pleasant furniture. 034 NAH 002 010 She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and anguish is in all loins, and the faces of them all are waxed pale. 034 NAH 002 011 Where is the den of the lions, and the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion [and] the lioness walked, the lion’s whelp, and none made them afraid? 034 NAH 002 012 The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his caves with prey, and his dens with ravin. 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 rapine; the prey departeth not. 034 NAH 003 002 The noise of the whip, and the noise of the rattling of wheels; and pransing horses, and jumping chariots; 034 NAH 003 003 the horseman mounting, and the flashing sword, and the glittering spear; and a multitude of slain, and a great heap of carcases: and there is none end of the corpses; they stumble upon their corpses: 034 NAH 003 004 because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the well favoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts. 034 NAH 003 005 Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face; and I will shew 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? whence shall I seek comforters for thee? 034 NAH 003 008 Art thou better than No-amon, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about her; whose rampart was the sea, [and] her wall was of the sea? 034 NAH 003 009 Ethiopia 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 top 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 drunken, thou shalt be hid; thou also shalt seek a strong hold because of the enemy. 034 NAH 003 012 All thy fortresses shall be [like] fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they 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 are set wide open unto thine enemies: the fire hath devoured thy bars. 034 NAH 003 014 Draw thee water for the siege, strengthen thy fortresses: go into the clay, and tread the mortar, make strong the brickkiln. 034 NAH 003 015 There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall devour thee like the cankerworm: make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locust. 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 crowned are as the locusts, and thy marshals as the swarms of grasshoppers, which camp 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 worthies are at rest: thy people are scattered upon the mountains, and there is none to gather them. 034 NAH 003 019 There is no assuaging of thy hurt; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee 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 did see. 035 HAB 001 002 O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear? I cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save. 035 HAB 001 003 Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and look upon perverseness? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there is strife, and contention riseth up. 035 HAB 001 004 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore judgment goeth forth perverted. 035 HAB 001 005 Behold ye among the nations, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I 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 march through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling places that are not theirs. 035 HAB 001 007 They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves. 035 HAB 001 008 Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves; and their horsemen spread themselves: yea, their horsemen come from far; they fly as an eagle that hasteth to devour. 035 HAB 001 009 They come all of them for violence; their faces are set eagerly as the east wind; and they gather captives as the sand. 035 HAB 001 010 Yea, he scoffeth at kings, and princes are a derision unto him: he derideth every strong hold; for he heapeth up dust, and taketh it. 035 HAB 001 011 Then shall he sweep by [as] a wind, and shall pass over, and be guilty: [even] he whose might is his god. 035 HAB 001 012 Art not thou from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained him for judgment; and thou, O Rock, hast established him for correction. 035 HAB 001 013 Thou that art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and that canst not look on perverseness, wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy peace when the wicked swalloweth up the man that is more righteous than he; 035 HAB 001 014 and makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them? 035 HAB 001 015 He taketh up all of them with the angle, he catcheth them in his net, and gathereth them in his drag: therefore he rejoiceth and is glad. 035 HAB 001 016 Therefore he sacrificeth unto his net, and burneth incense unto his drag; because by them his portion is fat, and his meat plenteous. 035 HAB 001 017 Shall he therefore empty his net, and not spare to slay the nations continually? 035 HAB 002 001 I WILL stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will look forth to see what he will speak with me, and what I shall answer concerning my complaint. 035 HAB 002 002 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. 035 HAB 002 003 For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hasteth toward the end, and shall not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay. 035 HAB 002 004 Behold, his soul is puffed up, it is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith. 035 HAB 002 005 Yea, moreover, wine is a treacherous dealer, a haughty man, and that keepeth not at home; who enlargeth his desire as hell, and he is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all peoples. (Sheol h7585) 035 HAB 002 006 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and that ladeth himself with pledges! 035 HAB 002 007 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them? 035 HAB 002 008 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the peoples shall spoil thee; because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all that dwell therein. 035 HAB 002 009 Woe to him that getteth an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil! 035 HAB 002 010 Thou hast consulted shame to thy house, by cutting off many peoples, and hast sinned against thy soul. 035 HAB 002 011 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it. 035 HAB 002 012 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity! 035 HAB 002 013 Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the peoples labour for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity? 035 HAB 002 014 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. 035 HAB 002 015 Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that addest thy venom [thereto], and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness! 035 HAB 002 016 Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and be as one uncircumcised: the cup of the LORD’S right hand shall be turned unto thee, and foul shame shall be upon thy glory. 035 HAB 002 017 For the violence done to Lebanon shall cover thee, and the destruction of the beasts, which made them afraid; because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all that dwell therein. 035 HAB 002 018 What profiteth the graven image, that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and the teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols? 035 HAB 002 019 Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise! Shall this teach? Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it. 035 HAB 002 020 But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him. 035 HAB 003 001 A PRAYER of Habakkuk the prophet, set to Shigionoth. 035 HAB 003 002 O LORD, I have heard the report of thee, and am afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy. 035 HAB 003 003 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. (Selah) His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. 035 HAB 003 004 And [his] brightness was as the light; he had rays [coming forth] from his hand: and there was the hiding of his power. 035 HAB 003 005 Before him went the pestilence, and fiery bolts went forth at his feet. 035 HAB 003 006 He stood, and measured the earth; he beheld, and drove asunder the nations: and the eternal mountains were scattered, the everlasting hills did bow; his goings were [as] of old. 035 HAB 003 007 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble. 035 HAB 003 008 Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers, or thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses, upon thy chariots of salvation? 035 HAB 003 009 Thy bow was made quite bare; the oaths to the tribes were a [sure] word. (Selah) Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers. 035 HAB 003 010 The mountains saw thee, and were afraid; the tempest of waters passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high. 035 HAB 003 011 The sun and moon stood still in their habitation; at the light of thine arrows as they went, at the shining of thy glittering spear. 035 HAB 003 012 Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the nations in anger. 035 HAB 003 013 Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, for the salvation of thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, laying bare the foundation even unto the neck. (Selah) 035 HAB 003 014 Thou didst pierce with his own staves the head of his warriors: they came as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly. 035 HAB 003 015 Thou didst tread the sea with thine horses, the heap of mighty waters. 035 HAB 003 016 I heard, and my belly trembled, my lips quivered at the voice; rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in my place: that I should rest in the day of trouble, when it cometh up against the people which invadeth him in troops. 035 HAB 003 017 For though the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: 035 HAB 003 018 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. 035 HAB 003 019 Jehovah, the Lord, is my strength, and he maketh my feet like hinds’ [feet], and will make me to walk upon mine high places.

The word of the LORD is against you, O Canaan, the land of the Philistines; I will destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant. 036 ZEP 002 006 And the sea coast shall be pastures, with cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks. 036 ZEP 002 007 And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed [their flocks] thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening; for the LORD their God shall visit them, and bring again their captivity. 036 ZEP 002 008 I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, wherewith they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border. 036 ZEP 002 009 Therefore as I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, a possession of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my nation shall inherit them. 036 ZEP 002 010 This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of hosts. 036 ZEP 002 011 The LORD will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the nations. 036 ZEP 002 012 Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword. 036 ZEP 002 013 And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like the wilderness. 036 ZEP 002 014 And herds shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the pelican and the porcupine shall lodge in the chapiters thereof: [their] voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds; for he hath laid bare the cedar work. 036 ZEP 002 015 This is the joyous city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none else beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand. 036 ZEP 003 001 Woe to her that is rebellious and polluted, to the oppressing city! 036 ZEP 003 002 She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God. 036 ZEP 003 003 Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they leave nothing till the morrow. 036 ZEP 003 004 Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have profaned the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law. 036 ZEP 003 005 The LORD in the midst of her is righteous; he will not do iniquity; every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame. 036 ZEP 003 006 I have cut off nations, their battlements are desolate; I have made their streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant. 036 ZEP 003 007 I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive correction; so her dwelling should not be cut off, [according to] all that I have appointed concerning her: but they rose early and corrupted all their doings. 036 ZEP 003 008 Therefore wait ye for me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger; for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy. 036 ZEP 003 009 For then will I turn to the peoples a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent. 036 ZEP 003 010 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering. 036 ZEP 003 011 In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of thee thy proudly exulting ones, and thou shalt no more be haughty in my holy mountain. 036 ZEP 003 012 But I will leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD. 036 ZEP 003 013 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid. 036 ZEP 003 014 Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem. 036 ZEP 003 015 The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not fear evil any more. 036 ZEP 003 016 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: O Zion, let not thine hands be slack. 036 ZEP 003 017 The LORD thy God is in the midst of thee, a mighty one who will save: he will rejoice over thee with joy, he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. 036 ZEP 003 018 I will gather them that sorrow for the solemn assembly, who were of thee: [to whom] the burden upon her was a reproach. 036 ZEP 003 019 Behold, at that time I will deal with all them that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven away; and I will make them a praise and a name, whose shame hath been in all the earth. 036 ZEP 003 020 At that time will I bring you in, and at that time will I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I bring again your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD. # # BOOK 037 HAG Haggai Haggai 037 HAG 001 001 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying, 037 HAG 001 002 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, It is not the time [for us] to come, the time for the LORD’S house to be built. 037 HAG 001 003 Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying, 037 HAG 001 004 Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your cieled houses, while this house lieth waste? 037 HAG 001 005 Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways, 037 HAG 001 006 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages [to put it] into a bag with holes. 037 HAG 001 007 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways. 037 HAG 001 008 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD. 037 HAG 001 009 Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that lieth waste, while ye run every man to his own house. 037 HAG 001 010 Therefore for your sake the heaven is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed [from] her fruit. 037 HAG 001 011 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the 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 Jehozadak, 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 spake Haggai the LORD’S messenger in the LORD’S message unto 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 Jehozadak, 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 month, in 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 Haggai the prophet, saying, 037 HAG 002 002 Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, 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 its former glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes as nothing? 037 HAG 002 004 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, 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, and my spirit abode 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 desirable things 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 latter glory of this house shall be greater than 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 bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it become holy? And the priests answered and said, No. 037 HAG 002 013 Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body 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 Through all that time, when one came to an heap of twenty [measures], there were but ten; when one came to the winefat for to draw out fifty vessels, there were but twenty. 037 HAG 002 017 I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the work of your hands; yet ye [turned] not to me, saith the LORD. 037 HAG 002 018 Consider, I pray you, from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth [month], since 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, 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 the word of the LORD came the second time unto 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 nations; 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 unto Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying, 038 ZEC 001 002 The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers. 038 ZEC 001 003 Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Return unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. 038 ZEC 001 004 Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Return ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto 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 overtake your fathers? and they turned and said, Like as the LORD of hosts thought to do unto 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 Shebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying, 038 ZEC 001 008 I saw in the 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 there were horses, red, sorrel, and white. 038 ZEC 001 009 Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be. 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 threescore and ten years? 038 ZEC 001 013 And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me with good words, [even] comfortable words. 038 ZEC 001 014 So the angel that talked with me said unto 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 sore displeased with the nations 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 am returned to Jerusalem with mercies; my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem. 038 ZEC 001 017 Cry yet again, 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 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns. 038 ZEC 001 019 And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. 038 ZEC 001 020 And the LORD shewed me four smiths. 038 ZEC 001 021 Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it. 038 ZEC 002 001 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand. 038 ZEC 002 002 Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof. 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 unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, by reason of the multitude of men and cattle therein. 038 ZEC 002 005 For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her. 038 ZEC 002 006 Ho, ho, 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 Ho Zion, escape, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon. 038 ZEC 002 008 For thus saith the LORD of hosts: After glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye. 038 ZEC 002 009 For, behold, I will shake mine hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those that served them: 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 join themselves 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 unto thee. 038 ZEC 002 012 And the LORD shall inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem. 038 ZEC 002 013 Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD: for he is waked up out of his holy habitation. 038 ZEC 003 001 And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary. 038 ZEC 003 002 And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; yea, 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 spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take the filthy garments from off him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with rich apparel. 038 ZEC 003 005 And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair 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 unto 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 also shalt judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee a place of access among these that stand by. 038 ZEC 003 008 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou and thy fellows that sit before thee; for they are men which are a sign: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch. 038 ZEC 003 009 For behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; upon one stone are seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, 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 waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep. 038 ZEC 004 002 And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have seen, and behold, a candlestick all of gold, with its bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are upon the top thereof: 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 thereof. 038 ZEC 004 004 And I answered and spake 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 unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. 038 ZEC 004 006 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto 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 the head stone with shoutings of Grace, grace, unto it. 038 ZEC 004 008 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto 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 unto 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, even these seven, [which are] the eyes of the LORD; they run to and fro through the whole earth. 038 ZEC 004 011 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof? 038 ZEC 004 012 And I answered the second time, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts, that empty the golden [oil] out of themselves? 038 ZEC 004 013 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. 038 ZEC 004 014 Then said he, These are the two sons of oil, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth. 038 ZEC 005 001 Then again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold, a flying roll. 038 ZEC 005 002 And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits. 038 ZEC 005 003 Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole land: for every one that stealeth shall be purged out on the one side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be purged out on the other side according to it. 038 ZEC 005 004 I will cause it to go 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 abide in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof. 038 ZEC 005 005 Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth. 038 ZEC 005 006 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance in all the land: 038 ZEC 005 007 (and behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: ) and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the ephah. 038 ZEC 005 008 And he said, This is Wickedness; and he cast her down into the midst of the ephah: and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof. 038 ZEC 005 009 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold, there came forth two women, and the wind was in their wings; now 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, Whither do these bear the ephah? 038 ZEC 005 011 And he said unto me, To build her an house in the land of Shinar: and when it is prepared, she shall be set there in her own place. 038 ZEC 006 001 And again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, 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 grisled bay horses. 038 ZEC 006 004 Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord? 038 ZEC 006 005 And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four winds of heaven, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth. 038 ZEC 006 006 [The chariot] wherein are the black horses goeth forth toward the north country; and the white went forth after them; and the grisled went 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, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth. 038 ZEC 006 008 Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, they 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 unto me, saying, 038 ZEC 006 010 Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah; and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, whither they are come from Babylon; 038 ZEC 006 011 yea, take [of them] silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest; 038 ZEC 006 012 and speak unto 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 unto 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 unto Zechariah in the fourth [day] of the ninth month, even in Chislev. 038 ZEC 007 002 Now [they of] Beth-el had sent Sharezer and Regem-melech, and their men, to entreat the favour of the LORD, 038 ZEC 007 003 [and] to speak unto the priests of 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 unto me, saying, 038 ZEC 007 005 Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh [month], even these seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me? 038 ZEC 007 006 And when ye eat, and when ye drink, do not ye 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 the cities thereof round about her, and the South and the lowland were inhabited? 038 ZEC 007 008 And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying, 038 ZEC 007 009 Thus hath the LORD of hosts spoken, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassion 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 pulled away 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 had sent by his spirit by the hand of the former prophets: therefore came there great wrath from the LORD of hosts. 038 ZEC 007 013 And it came to pass that, as he cried, and they would not hear; so they shall cry, and I will not hear, said the LORD of hosts; 038 ZEC 007 014 but I will scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they have not known. 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 And the word of the LORD of hosts came [to me], saying, 038 ZEC 008 002 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great fury. 038 ZEC 008 003 Thus saith the LORD: I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called The 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, 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 the streets thereof. 038 ZEC 008 006 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: If it be marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvelous in mine 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 from the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, even the temple, that it might be built. 038 ZEC 008 010 For before those 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 adversary: for I set all men every one against his neighbour. 038 ZEC 008 011 But now I will not be unto the remnant of this people as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts. 038 ZEC 008 012 For [there shall be] the seed of peace; 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 inherit all these things. 038 ZEC 008 013 And it shall come to pass that, as ye were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, [but] let your hands be strong. 038 ZEC 008 014 For thus saith the LORD of hosts: As I thought to do evil unto 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 unto 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 with 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 unto 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 truth and peace. 038 ZEC 008 020 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: [It shall yet come to pass], that there shall come peoples, 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 entreat the favour of the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also. 038 ZEC 008 022 Yea, many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the favour of the LORD. 038 ZEC 008 023 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: In those days [it shall come to pass], that ten men shall take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, 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 upon the land of Hadrach, and Damascus [shall be] its resting place: for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward the LORD: 038 ZEC 009 002 and Hamath also which bordereth thereon: Tyre and Zidon, because she is very wise. 038 ZEC 009 003 And Tyre did build 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 dispossess her, 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, and shall be sore pained; 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; and he also shall be a remnant for our God: and he shall be as a chieftain in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite. 038 ZEC 009 008 And I will encamp about mine house against the army, that none pass through or return: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes. 038 ZEC 009 009 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy king cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass. 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 unto the nations: 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, because of the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water. 038 ZEC 009 012 Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even today do I declare that I will render double unto thee. 038 ZEC 009 013 For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and will make 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 shall tread down the sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine: and they shall be filled like bowls, like 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 on high over his land. 038 ZEC 009 017 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maids. 038 ZEC 010 001 Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain, [even of] the LORD that maketh lightnings; and he shall give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field. 038 ZEC 010 002 For the teraphim have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie; and they have told false dreams, they comfort in vain: therefore they go their way like sheep, they are afflicted, because there is no shepherd. 038 ZEC 010 003 Mine anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the he-goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and shall make them as his goodly horse in the battle. 038 ZEC 010 004 From him shall come forth the corner stone, from him the nail, from him the battle bow, from him every exactor together. 038 ZEC 010 005 And they shall be as mighty men, treading 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, 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 I 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 rejoice; their heart shall be glad 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 peoples; and they shall remember me in far countries: and they shall live with their children, and shall return. 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 of affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away. 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 Howl, O fir tree, for the cedar is fallen, because the goodly ones are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest is come down. 038 ZEC 011 003 A voice of the howling of the shepherds! for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions! for the pride of Jordan is spoiled. 038 ZEC 011 004 Thus said the LORD my God: Feed the flock of 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 So I fed the flock of slaughter, verily the poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock. 038 ZEC 011 008 And I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me. 038 ZEC 011 009 Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let them which are left eat every one the flesh of another. 038 ZEC 011 010 And I took my staff Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples. 038 ZEC 011 011 And it was broken in that day: and thus the poor of the flock that gave heed unto me knew that it was the word of the LORD. 038 ZEC 011 012 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my hire; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my hire thirty [pieces] of silver. 038 ZEC 011 013 And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter, the goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty [pieces] of silver, and cast them unto the potter, in the house of the LORD. 038 ZEC 011 014 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel. 038 ZEC 011 015 And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet again the instruments of a foolish shepherd. 038 ZEC 011 016 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek those that be scattered, nor heal that that is broken; neither shall he feed that which is sound, but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and shall tear their hoofs in pieces. 038 ZEC 011 017 Woe to the worthless shepherd that leaveth the flock, the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened. 038 ZEC 012 001 The burden of the word of the LORD concerning Israel. [Thus] saith the LORD, which 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 reeling unto all the peoples round about, and upon Judah also shall it be in the siege against Jerusalem. 038 ZEC 012 003 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples; all that burden themselves with it shall be sore wounded; and all the nations of the earth shall be gathered together 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 mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the peoples with blindness. 038 ZEC 012 005 And the chieftains of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in the LORD of hosts their God. 038 ZEC 012 006 In that day will I make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a torch of fire among sheaves; and they shall devour all the peoples round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall yet again dwell 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 be not magnified above 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 supplication; and they shall look unto 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 the Shimeites 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 unto him, Thou shall 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 prophesieth; neither shall they wear a hairy mantle to deceive: 038 ZEC 013 005 but he shall say, I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for I have been made a bondman from my youth. 038 ZEC 013 006 And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds between thine arms? 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 fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; and I will turn mine 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 therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. 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, a day of the LORD cometh, when 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 residue 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 thereof 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 by the valley of my mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azel: yea, ye shall flee, like 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 holy ones with thee. 038 ZEC 014 006 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be with brightness and with gloom: 038 ZEC 014 007 but it shall be one day which is known unto the LORD; not day, and not night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time there shall be light. 038 ZEC 014 008 And it shall come to pass in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western 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 the LORD be one, and his name one. 038 ZEC 014 010 All the land shall be turned as the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; and she shall be lifted up, and shall dwell in her place, from Benjamin’s gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananel unto the king’s winepresses. 038 ZEC 014 011 And men shall dwell therein, and there shall be no more curse; but Jerusalem shall dwell safely. 038 ZEC 014 012 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the peoples that have warred against Jerusalem: their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their sockets, 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 against Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the nations round about 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 ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in those camps, 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 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 whoso of [all] the families of the earth goeth not up unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, upon them there shall be no rain. 038 ZEC 014 018 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, neither [shall it be] upon them; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the nations that go not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. 038 ZEC 014 019 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that go not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. 038 ZEC 014 020 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLY UNTO 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 holy unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more a 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, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob’s brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob; 039 MAL 001 003 but Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and [gave] his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness. 039 MAL 001 004 Whereas Edom saith, We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down: and men 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 be magnified beyond the border of Israel. 039 MAL 001 006 A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name? 039 MAL 001 007 Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar. And ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible. 039 MAL 001 008 And when ye offer the blind for sacrifice, it is no evil! and when ye offer the lame and sick, it is no evil! Present it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee? or will he accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts. 039 MAL 001 009 And now, I pray you, entreat the favour of God, that he may be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he accept any of your persons? saith the LORD of hosts. 039 MAL 001 010 Oh that there were one among you that would shut the doors, that ye might not kindle [fire on] mine altar in vain! 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 unto the going down of the same my name is great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense is offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name is great among the Gentiles, saith the LORD of hosts. 039 MAL 001 012 But ye profane it, in that ye say, The table of the LORD is polluted, and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible. 039 MAL 001 013 Ye say also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye have brought that which was taken by violence, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye bring the offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith the LORD. 039 MAL 001 014 But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a blemished thing: for I am a great king, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is terrible among the Gentiles. 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 unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, then will I send the 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 rebuke the seed for your sake, and will spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your sacrifices; and ye shall be taken away with it. 039 MAL 002 004 And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto 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 that he might fear, and he feared me, and stood in awe of my name. 039 MAL 002 006 The law of truth was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and uprightness, and did turn 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 are turned aside out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble in 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 had respect of persons 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, 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 which he loveth, and hath married the daughter of a strange god. 039 MAL 002 012 The LORD will cut off to the man that doeth this him that waketh and him that answereth, out of the tents of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts. 039 MAL 002 013 And this again ye do: ye cover the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with sighing, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, neither receiveth it with good will at your hand. 039 MAL 002 014 Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously, though she is thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. 039 MAL 002 015 And did he not make one, although he had the residue of the spirit? And wherefore one? He sought 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 I hate putting away, saith the LORD, the God of Israel, and him that covereth his garment with violence, 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, Wherein have we wearied him? In that 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 send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in, behold, he cometh, 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; and they shall offer unto the LORD offerings in righteousness. 039 MAL 003 004 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in ancient 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 the LORD change not; therefore ye, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed. 039 MAL 003 007 From the days of your fathers ye have turned aside from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye say, Wherein shall we return? 039 MAL 003 008 Will a man rob God? yet ye rob me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 039 MAL 003 009 Ye are cursed with the curse; for ye rob me, even this whole nation. 039 MAL 003 010 Bring ye the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open 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 happy: for ye shall he 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, Wherein have we spoken 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 charge, 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 built up; yea, they tempt God, and are delivered. 039 MAL 003 016 Then they that feared the LORD spake one with another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard, 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 the day that I do make, [even] a peculiar treasure; 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, it burneth as a furnace; and all the proud, and all that work wickedness, 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 unto you that fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and gambol 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 do make, saith the LORD of hosts. 039 MAL 004 004 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and judgments. 039 MAL 004 005 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the LORD come. 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 generation 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 Perez and Zerah of Tamar; and Perez 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 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 Jechoniah and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away to Babylon. 040 MAT 001 012 And after the carrying away to Babylon, Jechoniah 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 unto David are fourteen generations; and from David unto the carrying away to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon unto the Christ fourteen generations. 040 MAT 001 018 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 040 MAT 001 019 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. 040 MAT 001 020 But when he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 040 MAT 001 021 And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins. 040 MAT 001 022 Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, 040 MAT 001 023 Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, And they shall call his name Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us. 040 MAT 001 024 And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife; 040 MAT 001 025 and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS. 040 MAT 002 001 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, 040 MAT 002 002 saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and are come to worship him. 040 MAT 002 003 And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 040 MAT 002 004 And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born. 040 MAT 002 005 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, 040 MAT 002 006 And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, Art in no wise least among the princes of Judah: For out of thee shall come forth a governor, Which shall be shepherd of my people Israel. 040 MAT 002 007 Then Herod privily called the wise men, and learned of them carefully what time the star appeared. 040 MAT 002 008 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search out carefully concerning the young child; and when ye have found [him], bring me word, that I also may come and worship him. 040 MAT 002 009 And they, having heard the king, went their way; 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 And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 040 MAT 002 011 And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him; and opening their treasures they offered unto him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. 040 MAT 002 012 And being warned [of God] in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. 040 MAT 002 013 Now when they were departed, behold, an 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 tell thee: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. 040 MAT 002 014 And he arose and 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 by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt did I call my son. 040 MAT 002 016 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had carefully learned of the wise men. 040 MAT 002 017 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, 040 MAT 002 018 A voice was heard in Ramah, Weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; And she 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 that 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 over Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither; and being warned [of God] in a dream, he withdrew into the parts of Galilee, 040 MAT 002 023 and came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, that he should be called a Nazarene. 040 MAT 003 001 And in those days cometh John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, 040 MAT 003 002 saying, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 040 MAT 003 003 For this is he that was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight. 040 MAT 003 004 Now John himself had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey. 040 MAT 003 005 Then went out unto him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan; 040 MAT 003 006 and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 040 MAT 003 007 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said unto them, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 040 MAT 003 008 Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance: 040 MAT 003 009 and think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 040 MAT 003 010 And even now is the axe laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 040 MAT 003 011 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and [with] fire: 040 MAT 003 012 whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire. 040 MAT 003 013 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 040 MAT 003 014 But John would have hindered him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 040 MAT 003 015 But Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer [it] now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he suffereth him. 040 MAT 003 016 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway from the water: and lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him; 040 MAT 003 017 and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 040 MAT 004 001 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 040 MAT 004 002 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he afterward hungered. 040 MAT 004 003 And the tempter came and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones become 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 into the holy city; and he set him on the pinnacle of the temple, 040 MAT 004 006 and saith unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: And on their hands they shall bear thee up, Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone. 040 MAT 004 007 Jesus said unto him, Again it is written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 040 MAT 004 008 Again, the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 040 MAT 004 009 and he said unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 040 MAT 004 010 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, 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 unto him. 040 MAT 004 012 Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee; 040 MAT 004 013 and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, 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, Toward the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, 040 MAT 004 016 The people which sat in darkness Saw a great light, And to them which sat in the region and shadow of death, To them did light spring up. 040 MAT 004 017 From that time began Jesus to preach, and to say, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 040 MAT 004 018 And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishers. 040 MAT 004 019 And he saith unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men. 040 MAT 004 020 And they straightway left the nets, and followed him. 040 MAT 004 021 And going on from thence he saw other two brethren, James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. 040 MAT 004 022 And they straightway left the boat and their father, and followed him. 040 MAT 004 023 And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness among the people. 040 MAT 004 024 And the report of him went forth into all Syria: and they brought unto him all that were sick, holden with divers diseases and torments, possessed with devils, and epileptic, and palsied; and he healed them. 040 MAT 004 025 And there followed him great multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and [from] beyond Jordan. 040 MAT 005 001 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain: and when he had sat down, his disciples came unto 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 that hunger and thirst after 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 sons of God. 040 MAT 005 010 Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 040 MAT 005 011 Blessed are ye when [men] shall reproach you, and persecute you, and 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 persecuted they the prophets which were before you. 040 MAT 005 013 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men. 040 MAT 005 014 Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. 040 MAT 005 015 Neither do [men] light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house. 040 MAT 005 016 Even so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 040 MAT 005 017 Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfill. 040 MAT 005 018 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished. 040 MAT 005 019 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 040 MAT 005 020 For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise 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 whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 040 MAT 005 022 but I say unto you, that every one who is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of the hell of fire. (Geenna g1067) 040 MAT 005 023 If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught 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 thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art with him in the way; lest haply 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 unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the last farthing. 040 MAT 005 027 Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 040 MAT 005 028 but I say unto you, that every one that 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 causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067) 040 MAT 005 030 And if thy right hand causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body go into hell. (Geenna g1067) 040 MAT 005 031 It was said also, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 040 MAT 005 032 but I say unto you, that every one that putteth away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, maketh her an adulteress: and whosoever shall marry her when she is put away committeth adultery. 040 MAT 005 033 Again, ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: 040 MAT 005 034 but I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by the heaven, for it is the throne of God; 040 MAT 005 035 nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 040 MAT 005 036 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one hair white or black. 040 MAT 005 037 But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and whatsoever is more than these is of the evil [one]. 040 MAT 005 038 Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 040 MAT 005 039 but I say unto you, Resist not him that is evil: but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 040 MAT 005 040 And if any man would go to law with thee, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 040 MAT 005 041 And whosoever shall compel thee to go one mile, go with him twain. 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 was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy: 040 MAT 005 044 but I say unto you, Love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you; 040 MAT 005 045 that ye may be sons of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust. 040 MAT 005 046 For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 040 MAT 005 047 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the Gentiles the same? 040 MAT 005 048 Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. 040 MAT 006 001 Take heed that ye do not your righteousness before men, to be seen of them: else ye have no reward with your Father which is in heaven. 040 MAT 006 002 When therefore thou doest alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received 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 thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret shall recompense thee. 040 MAT 006 005 And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward. 040 MAT 006 006 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret, and thy Father which seeth in secret shall recompense thee. 040 MAT 006 007 And in praying use not vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 040 MAT 006 008 Be not therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. 040 MAT 006 009 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 040 MAT 006 010 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth. 040 MAT 006 011 Give us this day our daily bread. 040 MAT 006 012 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 040 MAT 006 013 And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil [one]. 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 be seen of men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward. 040 MAT 006 017 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thy head, and wash thy face; 040 MAT 006 018 that thou be not seen of men to fast, but of thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall recompense thee. 040 MAT 006 019 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust doth consume, 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 consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 040 MAT 006 021 for where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also. 040 MAT 006 022 The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 040 MAT 006 023 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is the 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 one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 040 MAT 006 025 Therefore I say unto 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 the food, and the body than the raiment? 040 MAT 006 026 Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value than they? 040 MAT 006 027 And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto his stature? 040 MAT 006 028 And why are ye anxious concerning raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 040 MAT 006 029 yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 040 MAT 006 030 But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, [shall he] not much more [clothe] you, O ye of little faith? 040 MAT 006 031 Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall drink? or, Wherewithal 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 his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 040 MAT 006 034 Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. 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 what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you. 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 thine own eye? 040 MAT 007 004 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me cast out the mote out of thine eye; and lo, the beam is in thine own eye? 040 MAT 007 005 Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine 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 unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before the swine, lest haply they trample them under their feet, and turn 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 unto 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 him for a loaf, will give him a stone; 040 MAT 007 010 or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent? 040 MAT 007 011 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? 040 MAT 007 012 All things therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, even so do ye also unto them: for this is the law and the prophets. 040 MAT 007 013 Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many be they that enter in thereby. 040 MAT 007 014 For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few be they that find it. 040 MAT 007 015 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. 040 MAT 007 016 By their fruits ye shall know them. Do [men] gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 040 MAT 007 017 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 040 MAT 007 018 A good tree cannot bring forth evil 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 unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 040 MAT 007 022 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out devils, and by thy name do many mighty works? 040 MAT 007 023 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 040 MAT 007 024 Every one therefore which heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, which built his house upon the 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 the rock. 040 MAT 007 026 And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 040 MAT 007 027 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof. 040 MAT 007 028 And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching: 040 MAT 007 029 for he taught them as [one] having authority, and not as their scribes. 040 MAT 008 001 And when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. 040 MAT 008 002 And behold, there came to him a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 040 MAT 008 003 And he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou made clean. And straightway his leprosy was cleansed. 040 MAT 008 004 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 040 MAT 008 005 And when he was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, 040 MAT 008 006 and saying, Lord, my servant lieth in the house sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. 040 MAT 008 007 And he saith unto him, I will come and heal him. 040 MAT 008 008 And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed. 040 MAT 008 009 For I also am a man under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, 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 And when Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 040 MAT 008 011 And I say unto 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 sons of the kingdom shall be cast forth into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth. 040 MAT 008 013 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; as thou hast believed, [so] be it done unto thee. And the servant was healed in that hour. 040 MAT 008 014 And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying sick of a fever. 040 MAT 008 015 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose, and ministered unto him. 040 MAT 008 016 And when even was come, they brought unto him many possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were sick: 040 MAT 008 017 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our diseases. 040 MAT 008 018 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side. 040 MAT 008 019 And there came a scribe, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 040 MAT 008 020 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 040 MAT 008 021 And another of the disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 040 MAT 008 022 But Jesus saith unto him, Follow me; and leave the dead to bury their own dead. 040 MAT 008 023 And when he was 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 they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Save, Lord; we perish. 040 MAT 008 026 And he saith unto 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 And the men marveled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him? 040 MAT 008 028 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming forth out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man could pass by that way. 040 MAT 008 029 And behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? 040 MAT 008 030 Now there was afar off from them a herd of many swine feeding. 040 MAT 008 031 And the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine. 040 MAT 008 032 And he said unto them, Go. And they came out, and went into the swine: and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep into the sea, and perished in the waters. 040 MAT 008 033 And they that fed them fled, and went away into the city, and told everything, and what was befallen to them that were possessed with devils. 040 MAT 008 034 And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought [him] that he would depart from their borders. 040 MAT 009 001 And he entered into a boat, and crossed over, and came into his own city. 040 MAT 009 002 And behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, be of good cheer; thy sins are forgiven. 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, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? 040 MAT 009 005 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven; 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 of the palsy), Arise, and take up thy bed, and go unto 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 were afraid, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men. 040 MAT 009 009 And as Jesus passed by from thence, he saw a man, called Matthew, sitting at the place of toll: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him. 040 MAT 009 010 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples. 040 MAT 009 011 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with the publicans and sinners? 040 MAT 009 012 But when he heard it, he said, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick. 040 MAT 009 013 But go ye and learn what [this] meaneth, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice: for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners. 040 MAT 009 014 Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not? 040 MAT 009 015 And Jesus said unto them, Can the sons of the bride-chamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then will they fast. 040 MAT 009 016 And no man putteth a piece of undressed cloth upon an old garment; for that which should fill it up taketh from the garment, and a worse rent is made. 040 MAT 009 017 Neither do [men] put new wine into old wineskins: else the skins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the skins perish: but they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved. 040 MAT 009 018 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a 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 had an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: 040 MAT 009 021 for she said within herself, If I do but touch his garment, I shall be made whole. 040 MAT 009 022 But Jesus turning and seeing her said, Daughter, be of good cheer; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour. 040 MAT 009 023 And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute-players, and the crowd making a tumult, 040 MAT 009 024 he said, Give place: for the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. 040 MAT 009 025 But when the crowd was put forth, he entered in, and took her by the hand; and the damsel arose. 040 MAT 009 026 And the fame hereof went forth into all that land. 040 MAT 009 027 And as Jesus passed by from thence, two blind men followed him, crying out, and saying, Have mercy on us, thou son of David. 040 MAT 009 028 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 040 MAT 009 029 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it done unto you. 040 MAT 009 030 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. 040 MAT 009 031 But they went forth, and spread abroad his fame in all that land. 040 MAT 009 032 And as they went forth, behold, there was brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil. 040 MAT 009 033 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb man spake: and the multitudes marveled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. 040 MAT 009 034 But the Pharisees said, By the prince of the devils casteth he out devils. 040 MAT 009 035 And Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness. 040 MAT 009 036 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were distressed and scattered, as sheep not having a shepherd. 040 MAT 009 037 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few. 040 MAT 009 038 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest. 040 MAT 010 001 And he called unto him his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of disease and all manner of sickness. 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 publican; James the [son] of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 040 MAT 010 004 Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. 040 MAT 010 005 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and charged them, saying, Go not into [any] way of the Gentiles, and enter 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, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils: freely ye received, freely give. 040 MAT 010 009 Get you no gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses; 040 MAT 010 010 no wallet for [your] journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the labourer is worthy of his food. 040 MAT 010 011 And into whatsoever city or village ye shall enter, search out who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go forth. 040 MAT 010 012 And as ye enter into the house, salute 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 whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth out of that house or that city, shake off the dust of your feet. 040 MAT 010 015 Verily I say unto 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 up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you; 040 MAT 010 018 yea and before governors and kings shall ye be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them and to 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 you in that hour what ye shall speak. 040 MAT 010 020 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you. 040 MAT 010 021 And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child: and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death. 040 MAT 010 022 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved. 040 MAT 010 023 But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. 040 MAT 010 024 A disciple is not above his master, nor a servant above his lord. 040 MAT 010 025 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, 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 the darkness, speak ye in the light: and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the housetops. 040 MAT 010 028 And be not afraid of them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which 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 not therefore; ye are of more value than many sparrows. 040 MAT 010 032 Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father which is in heaven. 040 MAT 010 033 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. 040 MAT 010 034 Think not that I came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 040 MAT 010 035 For I came 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 doth not take his cross and follow 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 whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. 040 MAT 011 001 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and preach in their cities. 040 MAT 011 002 Now when John heard in the prison the works of the Christ, he sent by his disciples, 040 MAT 011 003 and said unto him, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another? 040 MAT 011 004 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Go your way and tell John the things which ye do hear and see: 040 MAT 011 005 the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good tidings preached to them. 040 MAT 011 006 And blessed is he, whosoever shall find none occasion of stumbling in me. 040 MAT 011 007 And as these went their way, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind? 040 MAT 011 008 But what went ye out for to see? a man clothed in soft [raiment]? Behold, they that wear soft [raiment] are in kings’ houses. 040 MAT 011 009 But wherefore went ye out? to see a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet. 040 MAT 011 010 This is he, of 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 unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not arisen a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is but little 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 men of violence 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 are willing to receive [it], this is Elijah, which is to come. 040 MAT 011 015 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 040 MAT 011 016 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the marketplaces, which call unto their fellows, 040 MAT 011 017 and say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not mourn. 040 MAT 011 018 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. 040 MAT 011 019 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! And wisdom is justified by her works. 040 MAT 011 020 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not. 040 MAT 011 021 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 040 MAT 011 022 Howbeit I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment, than for you. 040 MAT 011 023 And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted unto heaven? thou shalt go down unto Hades: for if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in thee, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86) 040 MAT 011 024 Howbeit I say unto 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 season Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes: 040 MAT 011 026 yea, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight. 040 MAT 011 027 All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knoweth the Son, save the Father; neither doth any know the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal [him]. 040 MAT 011 028 Come unto 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 of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 040 MAT 011 030 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. 040 MAT 012 001 At that season Jesus went on the sabbath day through the cornfields; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck ears of corn, and to eat. 040 MAT 012 002 But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do upon the sabbath. 040 MAT 012 003 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him; 040 MAT 012 004 how be entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them that were with him, but only for the priests? 040 MAT 012 005 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are guiltless? 040 MAT 012 006 But I say unto you, that one greater than the temple is here. 040 MAT 012 007 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. 040 MAT 012 008 For the Son of man is lord of the sabbath. 040 MAT 012 009 And he departed thence, and went into their synagogue: 040 MAT 012 010 and behold, a man having a withered hand. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? that they might accuse him. 040 MAT 012 011 And he said unto them, What man shall there be of you, that shall have one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? 040 MAT 012 012 How much then is a man of more value than a sheep! Wherefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath day. 040 MAT 012 013 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, as the other. 040 MAT 012 014 But the Pharisees went out, and took counsel against him, how they might destroy him. 040 MAT 012 015 And Jesus perceiving [it] withdrew from thence: and many 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 declare judgment to the Gentiles. 040 MAT 012 019 He shall not strive, nor cry aloud; Neither shall any one 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 send forth judgment unto victory. 040 MAT 012 021 And in his name shall the Gentiles hope. 040 MAT 012 022 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the dumb man spake and saw. 040 MAT 012 023 And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, Is this the son of David? 040 MAT 012 024 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This man doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. 040 MAT 012 025 And knowing their thoughts he said unto 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 devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. 040 MAT 012 028 But if I by the Spirit of God cast out devils, then is the kingdom of God come upon you. 040 MAT 012 029 Or how can one enter into the house of the strong [man], and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong [man]? and then he will spoil his house. 040 MAT 012 030 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. 040 MAT 012 031 Therefore I say unto you, Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. 040 MAT 012 032 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in that which is to come. (aiōn g165) 040 MAT 012 033 Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by its fruit. 040 MAT 012 034 Ye offspring 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 The good man out of his good treasure bringeth forth good things: and the evil man out of his evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 040 MAT 012 036 And I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof 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 Pharisees answered him, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. 040 MAT 012 039 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet: 040 MAT 012 040 for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale; 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 stand 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. 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 But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and findeth it not. 040 MAT 012 044 Then he saith, I will return into my house whence 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 evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this evil generation. 040 MAT 012 046 While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him. 040 MAT 012 047 And one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, seeking to speak to thee. 040 MAT 012 048 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? 040 MAT 012 049 And he stretched forth his hand towards his disciples, and said, Behold, my mother and my brethren! 040 MAT 012 050 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother. 040 MAT 013 001 On that day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side. 040 MAT 013 002 And there were gathered unto him great multitudes, so that he entered into a boat, and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach. 040 MAT 013 003 And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went forth to sow; 040 MAT 013 004 and as he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them: 040 MAT 013 005 and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth: and straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth: 040 MAT 013 006 and when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 040 MAT 013 007 And others fell upon the thorns; and the thorns grew up, and choked them: 040 MAT 013 008 and others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 040 MAT 013 009 He that hath ears, let him hear. 040 MAT 013 010 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 040 MAT 013 011 And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 040 MAT 013 012 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath. 040 MAT 013 013 Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 040 MAT 013 014 And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive: 040 MAT 013 015 For this people’s heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, 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 unto you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not. 040 MAT 013 018 Hear then ye 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 evil [one], and snatcheth away that which hath been sown in his heart. This is he that was sown by the way side. 040 MAT 013 020 And he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, and straightway with joy receiveth it; 040 MAT 013 021 yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a while; and when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway he stumbleth. 040 MAT 013 022 And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165) 040 MAT 013 023 And he that was sown upon the good ground, this is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who verily beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 040 MAT 013 024 Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man that sowed good seed in his field: 040 MAT 013 025 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away. 040 MAT 013 026 But when the blade sprang up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 040 MAT 013 027 And the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it tares? 040 MAT 013 028 And he said unto them, An enemy hath done this. And the servants say unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 040 MAT 013 029 But he saith, Nay; lest haply while ye gather up the tares, ye root up the wheat with them. 040 MAT 013 030 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. 040 MAT 013 031 Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: 040 MAT 013 032 which indeed is less than all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and lodge in the branches thereof. 040 MAT 013 033 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened. 040 MAT 013 034 All these things spake Jesus in parables unto the multitudes; and without a parable spake he nothing unto 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 hidden from the foundation of the world. 040 MAT 013 036 Then he left the multitudes, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Explain unto us the parable of the tares of the field. 040 MAT 013 037 And he answered and said, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 040 MAT 013 038 and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil [one]; 040 MAT 013 039 and the enemy that sowed them is the devil: and the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165) 040 MAT 013 040 As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so shall it be in the end of the 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 cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity, 040 MAT 013 042 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth. 040 MAT 013 043 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear. 040 MAT 013 044 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in the field; which a man found, and hid; and in his joy he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. 040 MAT 013 045 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a merchant seeking goodly pearls: 040 MAT 013 046 and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it. 040 MAT 013 047 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: 040 MAT 013 048 which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach; and they sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but the bad they cast away. 040 MAT 013 049 So shall it be in the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the righteous, (aiōn g165) 040 MAT 013 050 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth. 040 MAT 013 051 Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea. 040 MAT 013 052 And he said unto them, Therefore every scribe who hath been made a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. 040 MAT 013 053 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence. 040 MAT 013 054 And coming into his own country he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence 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 Joseph, and Simon, and Judas? 040 MAT 013 056 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? 040 MAT 013 057 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save 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 season Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus, 040 MAT 014 002 and said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore do these powers work 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 said unto 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 came, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod. 040 MAT 014 007 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she should ask. 040 MAT 014 008 And she, being put forward by her mother, saith, Give me here in a charger the head of John the Baptist. 040 MAT 014 009 And the king was grieved; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them which sat at meat with him, he commanded it to be given; 040 MAT 014 010 and he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. 040 MAT 014 011 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother. 040 MAT 014 012 And his disciples came, and took up the corpse, and buried him; and they went and told Jesus. 040 MAT 014 013 Now when Jesus heard [it], he withdrew from thence in a boat, to a desert place apart: and when the multitudes heard [thereof], they followed him on foot from the cities. 040 MAT 014 014 And he came forth, and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick. 040 MAT 014 015 And when even was come, the disciples came to him, saying, The place is desert, and the time is already past; send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food. 040 MAT 014 016 But Jesus said unto them, They have no need to go away; give ye them to eat. 040 MAT 014 017 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. 040 MAT 014 018 And he said, Bring them hither to me. 040 MAT 014 019 And he commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. 040 MAT 014 020 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full. 040 MAT 014 021 And they that did eat were about five thousand men, beside women an children. 040 MAT 014 022 And straightway he constrained the disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before him unto the other side, till he should send the multitudes away. 040 MAT 014 023 And after he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain apart to pray: and when even was come, he was there alone. 040 MAT 014 024 But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves; for the wind was contrary. 040 MAT 014 025 And in the fourth watch of the night he came unto them, walking upon the sea. 040 MAT 014 026 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is an apparition; and they cried out for fear. 040 MAT 014 027 But straightway Jesus spake unto 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 be thou, bid me come unto thee upon the waters. 040 MAT 014 029 And he said, Come. And Peter went down from the boat, and walked upon the waters, to come to Jesus. 040 MAT 014 030 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me. 040 MAT 014 031 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and took hold of him, and saith unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? 040 MAT 014 032 And when they were gone up into the boat, the wind ceased. 040 MAT 014 033 And they that were in the boat worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. 040 MAT 014 034 And when they had crossed over, they came to the land, unto Gennesaret. 040 MAT 014 035 And when the men of that place knew him, they sent into all that region round about, and brought unto him all that were sick; 040 MAT 014 036 and they besought him that they might only touch the border of his garment: and as many as touched were made whole. 040 MAT 015 001 Then there come to Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and scribes, 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 And he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? 040 MAT 015 004 For God said, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death. 040 MAT 015 005 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is given [to God]; 040 MAT 015 006 he shall not honour his father. And ye have made void the word of God because of your tradition. 040 MAT 015 007 Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, 040 MAT 015 008 This people honoureth me with their lips; But their heart is far from me. 040 MAT 015 009 But in vain do they worship me, Teaching [as their] doctrines the precepts of men. 040 MAT 015 010 And he called to him the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: 040 MAT 015 011 Not that which entereth into the mouth defileth the man; but that which proceedeth out of the mouth, this defileth the man. 040 MAT 015 012 Then came the disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying? 040 MAT 015 013 But he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father planted not, shall be rooted up. 040 MAT 015 014 Let them alone: they are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into a pit. 040 MAT 015 015 And Peter answered and said unto him, Declare unto us the parable. 040 MAT 015 016 And he said, Are ye also even yet without understanding? 040 MAT 015 017 Perceive ye not, that whatsoever goeth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 040 MAT 015 018 But the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart; and they defile the man. 040 MAT 015 019 For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings: 040 MAT 015 020 these are the things which defile the man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not the man. 040 MAT 015 021 And Jesus went out thence, and withdrew into the parts of Tyre and Sidon. 040 MAT 015 022 And behold, a Canaanitish woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 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 was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 040 MAT 015 025 But she came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 040 MAT 015 026 And he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs. 040 MAT 015 027 But she said, Yea, Lord: for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. 040 MAT 015 028 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it done unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that hour. 040 MAT 015 029 And Jesus departed thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there. 040 MAT 015 030 And there came unto him great multitudes, having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they cast them down at his feet; and he healed them: 040 MAT 015 031 insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they glorified the God of Israel. 040 MAT 015 032 And Jesus called unto him his disciples, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat: and I would not send them away fasting, lest haply they faint in the way. 040 MAT 015 033 And the disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so many loaves in a desert place, as to fill so great a multitude? 040 MAT 015 034 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small 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 he gave thanks and brake, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. 040 MAT 015 037 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, seven baskets full. 040 MAT 015 038 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children. 040 MAT 015 039 And he sent away the multitudes, and entered into the boat, and came into the borders of Magadan. 040 MAT 016 001 And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and tempting him asked him to shew them a sign from heaven. 040 MAT 016 002 But he answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, [It will be] fair weather: for the heaven is red. 040 MAT 016 003 And in the morning, [It will be] foul weather today: for the heaven is red and lowring. Ye know how to discern the face of the heaven; but ye cannot [discern] the signs of the times. 040 MAT 016 004 An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of Jonah. And he left them, and departed. 040 MAT 016 005 And the disciples came to the other side and forgot to take bread. 040 MAT 016 006 And Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. 040 MAT 016 007 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, We took no bread. 040 MAT 016 008 And Jesus perceiving it said, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have no bread? 040 MAT 016 009 Do ye not yet perceive, 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 perceive that I spake not to you concerning bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. 040 MAT 016 012 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. 040 MAT 016 013 Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is? 040 MAT 016 014 And they said, Some [say] John the Baptist; some, Elijah: and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. 040 MAT 016 015 He saith unto 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 unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 040 MAT 016 018 And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86) 040 MAT 016 019 I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 040 MAT 016 020 Then charged he the disciples that they should tell no man that he was the Christ. 040 MAT 016 021 From that time began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up. 040 MAT 016 022 And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall never be unto thee. 040 MAT 016 023 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art a stumbling-block unto me: for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men. 040 MAT 016 024 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 040 MAT 016 025 For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it. 040 MAT 016 026 For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give in exchange for his life? 040 MAT 016 027 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then shall he render unto every man according to his deeds. 040 MAT 016 028 Verily I say unto you, There be some of them that stand here, which shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. 040 MAT 017 001 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart: 040 MAT 017 002 and he was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his garments became white as the light. 040 MAT 017 003 And behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking with him. 040 MAT 017 004 And Peter answered, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, I will 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, saying, 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 sore afraid. 040 MAT 017 007 And Jesus came and touched them and said, Arise, and be not afraid. 040 MAT 017 008 And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, save Jesus only. 040 MAT 017 009 And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be 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 he answered and said, Elijah indeed cometh, and shall restore all things: 040 MAT 017 012 but I say unto you, that Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but did unto him whatsoever they listed. Even so shall the Son of man also suffer of them. 040 MAT 017 013 Then understood the disciples that he spake unto them of John the Baptist. 040 MAT 017 014 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling to him, and saying, 040 MAT 017 015 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is epileptic, and suffereth grievously: for oft-times he falleth into the fire, and oft-times into the water. 040 MAT 017 016 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. 040 MAT 017 017 And 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 hither to me. 040 MAT 017 018 And Jesus rebuked him; and the devil went out from him: and the boy was cured from that hour. 040 MAT 017 019 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast it out? 040 MAT 017 020 And he saith unto them, Because of your little faith: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 040 MAT 017 022 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men; 040 MAT 017 023 and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were exceeding sorry. 040 MAT 017 024 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received the half-shekel came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay the half-shekel? 040 MAT 017 025 He saith, Yea. And when he came into the house, Jesus spake first to him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive toll or tribute? from their sons, or from strangers? 040 MAT 017 026 And when he said, From strangers, Jesus said unto him, Therefore the sons are free. 040 MAT 017 027 But, lest we cause them to stumble, go thou to the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a shekel: that take, and give unto them for me and thee. 040 MAT 018 001 In that hour came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 040 MAT 018 002 And he called to him a little child, and set him in the midst of them, 040 MAT 018 003 and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. 040 MAT 018 004 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 040 MAT 018 005 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me: 040 MAT 018 006 But whoso shall cause one of these little ones which believe on me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and [that] he should be sunk in the depth of the sea. 040 MAT 018 007 Woe unto the world because of occasions of stumbling! for it must needs be that the occasions come; but woe to that man through whom the occasion cometh! 040 MAT 018 008 And if thy hand or thy foot causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed or halt, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire. (aiōnios g166) 040 MAT 018 009 And if thine eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire. (Geenna g1067) 040 MAT 018 010 See that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. 040 MAT 018 012 How think ye? if any man have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and go unto the mountains, and seek that which goeth astray? 040 MAT 018 013 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth over it more than over the ninety and nine which have not gone astray. 040 MAT 018 014 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. 040 MAT 018 015 And if thy brother sin against thee, go, shew him his fault between thee and him alone: if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 040 MAT 018 016 But if he hear [thee] not, take with thee one or two more, that at the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may be established. 040 MAT 018 017 And if he refuse to hear them, tell it unto the church: and if he refuse to hear the church also, let him be unto thee as the Gentile and the publican. 040 MAT 018 018 Verily I say unto you, What things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 040 MAT 018 019 Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which 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, and said to him, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until seven times? 040 MAT 018 022 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven. 040 MAT 018 023 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would make a reckoning with his servants. 040 MAT 018 024 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. 040 MAT 018 025 But forasmuch as he had not [wherewith] 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 And the lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. 040 MAT 018 028 But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, which owed him a hundred pence: and he laid hold on him, and took [him] by the throat, saying, Pay what thou owest. 040 MAT 018 029 So his fellow-servant fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee. 040 MAT 018 030 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay that which was due. 040 MAT 018 031 So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were exceeding sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. 040 MAT 018 032 Then his lord called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou besoughtest me: 040 MAT 018 033 shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on thee? 040 MAT 018 034 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due. 040 MAT 018 035 So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts. 040 MAT 019 001 And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judaea beyond Jordan; 040 MAT 019 002 and great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there. 040 MAT 019 003 And there came unto him Pharisees, tempting him, and saying, Is it lawful [for a man] to put away his wife for every cause? 040 MAT 019 004 And he answered and said, Have ye not read, that he which made [them] from the beginning made them male and female, 040 MAT 019 005 and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the twain shall become one flesh? 040 MAT 019 006 So that they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 040 MAT 019 007 They say unto him, Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorcement, and to put [her] away? 040 MAT 019 008 He saith unto them, Moses for your hardness of heart suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it hath not been so. 040 MAT 019 009 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her when she is put away committeth adultery. 040 MAT 019 010 The disciples say unto him, If the case of the man is so with his wife, it is not expedient to marry. 040 MAT 019 011 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, but they to whom it is given. 040 MAT 019 012 For there are eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are eunuchs, which were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, which 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 there brought unto him little children, that he should lay his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. 040 MAT 019 014 But Jesus said, Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. 040 MAT 019 015 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence. 040 MAT 019 016 And behold, one came to him and said, Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios g166) 040 MAT 019 017 And he said unto him, Why askest thou me concerning that which is good? One there is who is good: but if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments. 040 MAT 019 018 He saith unto him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, 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 unto him, All these things have I observed: what lack I yet? 040 MAT 019 021 Jesus said unto him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. 040 MAT 019 022 But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sorrowful: for he was one that had great possessions. 040 MAT 019 023 And Jesus said unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, It is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. 040 MAT 019 024 And again I say unto you, 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. 040 MAT 019 025 And when the disciples heard it, they were astonished exceedingly, saying, Who then can be saved? 040 MAT 019 026 And Jesus looking upon [them] said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. 040 MAT 019 027 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee; what then shall we have? 040 MAT 019 028 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that ye which 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 left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166) 040 MAT 019 030 But many shall be last [that are] first; and first [that are] last. 040 MAT 020 001 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, which 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 in the marketplace idle; 040 MAT 020 004 and to them he said, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. 040 MAT 020 005 Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise. 040 MAT 020 006 And about the eleventh [hour] he went out, and found others standing; and he saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? 040 MAT 020 007 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard. 040 MAT 020 008 And when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and pay them their hire, beginning from the last unto 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 And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received every man a penny. 040 MAT 020 011 And when they received it, they murmured against the householder, 040 MAT 020 012 saying, These last have spent [but] one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat. 040 MAT 020 013 But he answered and said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? 040 MAT 020 014 Take up that which is thine, and go thy way; it is my will to give unto this last, even as unto thee. 040 MAT 020 015 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? or is thine eye evil, because I am good? 040 MAT 020 016 So the last shall be first, and the first last. 040 MAT 020 017 And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples apart, and in the way he said unto them, 040 MAT 020 018 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, 040 MAT 020 019 and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify: and the third day he shall be raised up. 040 MAT 020 020 Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, worshipping [him], and asking a certain thing of him. 040 MAT 020 021 And he said unto her, What wouldest thou? She saith unto him, Command that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy kingdom. 040 MAT 020 022 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about to drink? They say unto him, We are able. 040 MAT 020 023 He saith unto them, My cup indeed ye shall drink: but to sit on my right hand, and on [my] left hand, is not mine to give, but [it is for them] for whom it hath been prepared of my Father. 040 MAT 020 024 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation concerning the two brethren. 040 MAT 020 025 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 040 MAT 020 026 Not so shall it be among you: but whosoever would become great among you shall be your minister; 040 MAT 020 027 and whosoever would be first among you shall be your servant: 040 MAT 020 028 even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. 040 MAT 020 029 And as they went out 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 was passing by, cried out, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou son of David. 040 MAT 020 031 And the multitude rebuked them, that they should hold their peace: but they cried out the more, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou son of David. 040 MAT 020 032 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I should do unto you? 040 MAT 020 033 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. 040 MAT 020 034 And Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes: and straightway they received their sight, and followed him. 040 MAT 021 001 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and came unto Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 040 MAT 021 002 saying unto them, Go into the village that is over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose [them], and bring [them] unto me. 040 MAT 021 003 And if any one say aught unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. 040 MAT 021 004 Now this is come to pass, 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 unto thee, Meek, and riding upon an ass, And upon a colt the foal of an ass. 040 MAT 021 006 And the disciples went, and did even as Jesus appointed them, 040 MAT 021 007 and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their garments; and he sat thereon. 040 MAT 021 008 And the most part of the multitude spread their garments in the way; and others cut branches from the trees, and spread them in the way. 040 MAT 021 009 And the multitudes that went before him, 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 was come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, Who is this? 040 MAT 021 011 And the multitudes said, This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee. 040 MAT 021 012 And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves; 040 MAT 021 013 and he saith unto them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer: but ye make it a den of robbers. 040 MAT 021 014 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple: and he healed them. 040 MAT 021 015 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children that were crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were moved with indignation, 040 MAT 021 016 and said unto him, Hearest thou what these are saying? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea: did 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 forth out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there. 040 MAT 021 018 Now in the morning as he returned to the city, he hungered. 040 MAT 021 019 And seeing a fig tree by the way side, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only; and he saith unto it, Let there be no fruit from thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away. (aiōn g165) 040 MAT 021 020 And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, How did the fig tree immediately wither away? 040 MAT 021 021 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do what is done to the fig tree, but even if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it shall be done. 040 MAT 021 022 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. 040 MAT 021 023 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto 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 unto them, I also will ask you one question, which if ye tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things. 040 MAT 021 025 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why then did ye not believe him? 040 MAT 021 026 But if we shall say, From men; we fear the multitude; for all hold John as a prophet. 040 MAT 021 027 And they answered Jesus, and said, We know not. He also said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. 040 MAT 021 028 But what think ye? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work today in the vineyard. 040 MAT 021 029 And he answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented himself, 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 Whether of the twain did the will of his father? They say, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. 040 MAT 021 032 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye saw it, did not even repent yourselves afterward, that ye might believe him. 040 MAT 021 033 Hear another parable: There was a man that was a householder, which planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country. 040 MAT 021 034 And when the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive his fruits. 040 MAT 021 035 And the husbandmen 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 unto them in like manner. 040 MAT 021 037 But afterward he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. 040 MAT 021 038 But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and take his inheritance. 040 MAT 021 039 And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. 040 MAT 021 040 When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 040 MAT 021 041 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will let out the vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. 040 MAT 021 042 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner: This was from the Lord, And it is marvelous in our eyes? 040 MAT 021 043 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and shall be given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 040 MAT 021 044 And he that falleth on this stone shall be broken to pieces: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust. 040 MAT 021 045 And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. 040 MAT 021 046 And when they sought to lay hold on him, they feared the multitudes, because they took him for a prophet. 040 MAT 022 001 And Jesus answered and spake again in parables unto them, saying, 040 MAT 022 002 The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king, which made a marriage feast for his son, 040 MAT 022 003 and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the marriage feast: and they would not come. 040 MAT 022 004 Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them that are bidden, Behold, I have made ready my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast. 040 MAT 022 005 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise: 040 MAT 022 006 and the rest laid hold on his servants, and entreated them shamefully, and killed them. 040 MAT 022 007 But the king was wroth; and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. 040 MAT 022 008 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy. 040 MAT 022 009 Go ye therefore unto the partings of the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage feast. 040 MAT 022 010 And those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was filled with guests. 040 MAT 022 011 But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding-garment: 040 MAT 022 012 and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless. 040 MAT 022 013 Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth. 040 MAT 022 014 For many are called, but few chosen. 040 MAT 022 015 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might ensnare him in [his] talk. 040 MAT 022 016 And they send to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one: for thou regardest not the person of men. 040 MAT 022 017 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? 040 MAT 022 018 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? 040 MAT 022 019 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. 040 MAT 022 020 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? 040 MAT 022 021 They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s. 040 MAT 022 022 And when they heard it, they marveled, and left him, and went their way. 040 MAT 022 023 On that day there came to him Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection: and they asked him, 040 MAT 022 024 saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 040 MAT 022 025 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first married and deceased, and having no seed left his wife unto his brother; 040 MAT 022 026 in like manner the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. 040 MAT 022 027 And after them all the woman died. 040 MAT 022 028 In the resurrection therefore whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. 040 MAT 022 029 But Jesus answered and said unto 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 angels in heaven. 040 MAT 022 031 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto 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 multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching. 040 MAT 022 034 But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, gathered themselves together. 040 MAT 022 035 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, 040 MAT 022 036 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 040 MAT 022 037 And he said unto 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 great and first commandment. 040 MAT 022 039 And a second like [unto it] is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 040 MAT 022 040 On these two commandments hangeth the whole law, and the prophets. 040 MAT 022 041 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, 040 MAT 022 042 saying, What think ye of the Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, [The son] of David. 040 MAT 022 043 He saith unto them, How then doth David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying, 040 MAT 022 044 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I put thine enemies underneath thy feet? 040 MAT 022 045 If David then calleth him Lord, how is he his son? 040 MAT 022 046 And no one was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions. 040 MAT 023 001 Then spake Jesus to the multitudes and to his disciples, 040 MAT 023 002 saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat: 040 MAT 023 003 all things therefore whatsoever they bid you, [these] do and observe: but do not ye after their works; for they say, and do not. 040 MAT 023 004 Yea, they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger. 040 MAT 023 005 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders [of their garments], 040 MAT 023 006 and love the chief place at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, 040 MAT 023 007 and the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called of men, Rabbi. 040 MAT 023 008 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your teacher, and all ye are brethren. 040 MAT 023 009 And call no man your father on the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 040 MAT 023 010 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your master, [even] the Christ. 040 MAT 023 011 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 040 MAT 023 012 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted. 040 MAT 023 013 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye enter not in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering in to enter. 040 MAT 023 015 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is become so, ye make him twofold more a son of hell than yourselves. (Geenna g1067) 040 MAT 023 016 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor. 040 MAT 023 017 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that hath sanctified the gold? 040 MAT 023 018 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, he is a debtor. 040 MAT 023 019 Ye blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? 040 MAT 023 020 He therefore that sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon. 040 MAT 023 021 And he that sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. 040 MAT 023 022 And he that sweareth by the heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon. 040 MAT 023 023 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye tithe mint and anise and cummin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law, judgment, and mercy, and faith: but these ye ought to have done, and not to have left the other undone. 040 MAT 023 024 Ye blind guides, which strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel. 040 MAT 023 025 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full from extortion and excess. 040 MAT 023 026 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the platter, that the outside thereof may become clean also. 040 MAT 023 027 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness. 040 MAT 023 028 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but inwardly ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. 040 MAT 023 029 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and garnish the tombs of the righteous, 040 MAT 023 030 and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we should not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 040 MAT 023 031 Wherefore ye witness to yourselves, that ye are sons of them that slew the prophets. 040 MAT 023 032 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. 040 MAT 023 033 Ye serpents, ye offspring of vipers, how shall ye escape the judgment of hell? (Geenna g1067) 040 MAT 023 034 Therefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them shall ye kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city: 040 MAT 023 035 that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous unto the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar. 040 MAT 023 036 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. 040 MAT 023 037 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! 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 unto you desolate. 040 MAT 023 039 For I say unto 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 from the temple, and was going on his way; and his disciples came to him to shew him the buildings of the temple. 040 MAT 024 002 But he answered and said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto 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 on the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto 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 unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray. 040 MAT 024 005 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and shall lead many astray. 040 MAT 024 006 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for [these things] must needs 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 earthquakes in divers places. 040 MAT 024 008 But all these things are the beginning of travail. 040 MAT 024 009 Then shall they deliver you up unto tribulation, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all the nations for my name’s sake. 040 MAT 024 010 And then shall many stumble, and shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another. 040 MAT 024 011 And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray. 040 MAT 024 012 And because iniquity shall be multiplied, the love of the many shall wax cold. 040 MAT 024 013 But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved. 040 MAT 024 014 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony unto all the nations; and then shall the end come. 040 MAT 024 015 When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that readeth understand), 040 MAT 024 016 then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains: 040 MAT 024 017 let him that is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house: 040 MAT 024 018 and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloke. 040 MAT 024 019 But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! 040 MAT 024 020 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on a sabbath: 040 MAT 024 021 for then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be. 040 MAT 024 022 And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. 040 MAT 024 023 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Here; believe [it] not. 040 MAT 024 024 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 040 MAT 024 025 Behold, I have told you beforehand. 040 MAT 024 026 If therefore they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the wilderness; go not forth: Behold, he is in the inner chambers; believe [it] not. 040 MAT 024 027 For as the lightning cometh forth from the east, and is seen even unto the west; so shall be the coming of the Son of man. 040 MAT 024 028 Wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. 040 MAT 024 029 But immediately, after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall 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 on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 040 MAT 024 031 And he shall send forth 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 from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is nigh; 040 MAT 024 033 even so ye also, when ye see all these things, know ye that he is nigh, [even] at the doors. 040 MAT 024 034 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all these things be accomplished. 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 one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only. 040 MAT 024 037 And as [were] the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man. 040 MAT 024 038 For as in those days which 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 they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall be the coming of the Son of man. 040 MAT 024 040 Then shall two men be in the field; one is taken, and one is left: 040 MAT 024 041 two women [shall be] grinding at the mill; one is taken, and one is left. 040 MAT 024 042 Watch therefore: for ye know not on what day your Lord cometh. 040 MAT 024 043 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through. 040 MAT 024 044 Therefore be ye also ready: for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh. 040 MAT 024 045 Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath set over his household, to give them their 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 unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath. 040 MAT 024 048 But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord tarrieth; 040 MAT 024 049 and shall begin to beat his fellow-servants, and shall eat and drink with the drunken; 040 MAT 024 050 the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, 040 MAT 024 051 and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth. 040 MAT 025 001 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 040 MAT 025 002 And five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 040 MAT 025 003 For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them: 040 MAT 025 004 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 040 MAT 025 005 Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 040 MAT 025 006 But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him. 040 MAT 025 007 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 040 MAT 025 008 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out. 040 MAT 025 009 But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 040 MAT 025 010 And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut. 040 MAT 025 011 Afterward come also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 040 MAT 025 012 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 040 MAT 025 013 Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour. 040 MAT 025 014 For [it is] as [when] a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. 040 MAT 025 015 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey. 040 MAT 025 016 Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents. 040 MAT 025 017 In like manner he also that [received] the two gained other two. 040 MAT 025 018 But he that received the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money. 040 MAT 025 019 Now after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and maketh a reckoning with them. 040 MAT 025 020 And he that received the five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: lo, I have gained other five talents. 040 MAT 025 021 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 040 MAT 025 022 And he also that [received] the two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: lo, I have gained other two talents. 040 MAT 025 023 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 040 MAT 025 024 And he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter: 040 MAT 025 025 and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own. 040 MAT 025 026 But his lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I did not scatter; 040 MAT 025 027 thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine own with interest. 040 MAT 025 028 Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents. 040 MAT 025 029 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away. 040 MAT 025 030 And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth. 040 MAT 025 031 But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory: 040 MAT 025 032 and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the 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 unto 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 an hungred, and ye gave me meat: 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 unto me. 040 MAT 025 037 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink? 040 MAT 025 038 And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 040 MAT 025 039 And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 040 MAT 025 040 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, [even] these least, ye did it unto me. 040 MAT 025 041 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels: (aiōnios g166) 040 MAT 025 042 for I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: 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, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 040 MAT 025 045 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me. 040 MAT 025 046 And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life. (aiōnios g166) 040 MAT 026 001 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these words, he said unto his disciples, 040 MAT 026 002 Ye know that after two days the passover cometh, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified. 040 MAT 026 003 Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the elders of the people, unto the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas; 040 MAT 026 004 and they took counsel together that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him. 040 MAT 026 005 But they said, Not during the feast, lest a tumult arise 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 unto him a woman having an alabaster cruse of exceeding precious ointment, and she poured it upon his head, as he sat at meat. 040 MAT 026 008 But when the 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 But Jesus perceiving it said unto 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 poured this ointment upon my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. 040 MAT 026 013 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her. 040 MAT 026 014 Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, 040 MAT 026 015 and said, What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they weighed unto him thirty pieces of silver. 040 MAT 026 016 And from that time he sought opportunity to deliver him [unto them]. 040 MAT 026 017 Now on the first [day] of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we make ready for thee to eat the passover? 040 MAT 026 018 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I keep the passover at thy house with my disciples. 040 MAT 026 019 And the disciples did as Jesus appointed them; and they made ready the passover. 040 MAT 026 020 Now when even was come, he was sitting at meat with the twelve disciples; 040 MAT 026 021 and as they were eating, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. 040 MAT 026 022 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began to say unto him every one, Is it I, Lord? 040 MAT 026 023 And he answered and said, He that dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. 040 MAT 026 024 The Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born. 040 MAT 026 025 And Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Is it I, Rabbi? He saith unto him, Thou hast said. 040 MAT 026 026 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it; and he gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 040 MAT 026 027 And he took a cup, and gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 040 MAT 026 028 for this is my blood of the covenant, which is shed for many unto remission of sins. 040 MAT 026 029 But I say unto 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 a hymn, they went out unto the mount of Olives. 040 MAT 026 031 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended in 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 raised up, I will go before you into Galilee. 040 MAT 026 033 But Peter answered and said unto him, If all shall be offended in thee, I will never be offended. 040 MAT 026 034 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. 040 MAT 026 035 Peter saith unto him, Even if I must die with thee, [yet] will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples. 040 MAT 026 036 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto his 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 sore troubled. 040 MAT 026 038 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: abide ye here, and watch with me. 040 MAT 026 039 And he went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt. 040 MAT 026 040 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto 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 Again a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cannot pass away, except I drink it, thy will be done. 040 MAT 026 043 And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. 040 MAT 026 044 And he left them again, and went away, and prayed a third time, saying again the same words. 040 MAT 026 045 Then cometh he to the disciples, and saith unto 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 Arise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that betrayeth me. 040 MAT 026 047 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people. 040 MAT 026 048 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he: take him. 040 MAT 026 049 And straightway he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Rabbi; and kissed him. 040 MAT 026 050 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, [do] that for which thou art come. Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. 040 MAT 026 051 And behold, one of them that were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear. 040 MAT 026 052 Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. 040 MAT 026 053 Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels? 040 MAT 026 054 How then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? 040 MAT 026 055 In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and staves to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and ye took me not. 040 MAT 026 056 But all this is come to pass, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him, and fled. 040 MAT 026 057 And they that had taken Jesus led him away to [the house of] Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together. 040 MAT 026 058 But Peter followed him afar off, unto the court of the high priest, and entered in, and sat with the officers, to see the end. 040 MAT 026 059 Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death; 040 MAT 026 060 and they found it not, though many false witnesses came. But afterward came two, 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 stood up, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? 040 MAT 026 063 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. 040 MAT 026 064 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven. 040 MAT 026 065 Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy: what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy: 040 MAT 026 066 what think ye? They answered and said, He is worthy of death. 040 MAT 026 067 Then did they spit in his face and buffet him: and some smote him with the palms of their hands, 040 MAT 026 068 saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ: who is he that struck thee? 040 MAT 026 069 Now Peter was sitting without in the court: and a maid came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilaean. 040 MAT 026 070 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. 040 MAT 026 071 And when he was gone out into the porch, another [maid] saw him, and saith unto them that were there, This man also was with Jesus the Nazarene. 040 MAT 026 072 And again he denied with an oath, I know not the man. 040 MAT 026 073 And after a little while they that stood by came and said to Peter, Of a truth thou also art [one] of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee. 040 MAT 026 074 Then began he to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And straightway the cock crew. 040 MAT 026 075 And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly. 040 MAT 027 001 Now when morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: 040 MAT 027 002 and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate the governor. 040 MAT 027 003 Then Judas, which betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 040 MAT 027 004 saying, I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou [to it]. 040 MAT 027 005 And he cast down the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, and departed; and he went away and hanged himself. 040 MAT 027 006 And the chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since 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 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto 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 priced, whom [certain] of the children of Israel did price; 040 MAT 027 010 and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me. 040 MAT 027 011 Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto 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 unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? 040 MAT 027 014 And he gave him no answer, not even to one word: insomuch that the governor marveled greatly. 040 MAT 027 015 Now at the feast the governor was wont to release unto the multitude one prisoner, whom they would. 040 MAT 027 016 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. 040 MAT 027 017 When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ? 040 MAT 027 018 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him up. 040 MAT 027 019 And while he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. 040 MAT 027 020 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. 040 MAT 027 021 But the governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas. 040 MAT 027 022 Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do unto Jesus which is called Christ? They all say, Let him be crucified. 040 MAT 027 023 And he said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, saying, Let him be crucified. 040 MAT 027 024 So when Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but rather that a tumult was arising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man: see ye [to it]. 040 MAT 027 025 And all the people answered and said, His blood [be] on us, and on our children. 040 MAT 027 026 Then released he unto them Barabbas: but Jesus he scourged and delivered to be crucified. 040 MAT 027 027 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the palace, and gathered unto him the whole band. 040 MAT 027 028 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. 040 MAT 027 029 And they plaited a crown of thorns and put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down 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 smote him on the head. 040 MAT 027 031 And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the robe, and put on him his garments, 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 go [with them], that he might bear his cross. 040 MAT 027 033 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, The place of a skull, 040 MAT 027 034 they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted it, he would not drink. 040 MAT 027 035 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots: 040 MAT 027 036 and they sat and watched him there. 040 MAT 027 037 And they set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 040 MAT 027 038 Then are there crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on the left. 040 MAT 027 039 And they that passed by railed on 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 In like manner also the chief priests mocking [him], with the scribes and elders, said, 040 MAT 027 042 He saved others; himself he cannot save. He is the King of Israel; let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him. 040 MAT 027 043 He trusteth on God; let him deliver him now, if he desireth him: for he said, I am the Son of God. 040 MAT 027 044 And the robbers also that were crucified with him cast upon him the same reproach. 040 MAT 027 045 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until 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, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 040 MAT 027 047 And some of them that stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calleth Elijah. 040 MAT 027 048 And straightway 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 And the rest said, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to save him. 040 MAT 027 050 And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit. 040 MAT 027 051 And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake; and the rocks were rent; 040 MAT 027 052 and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised; 040 MAT 027 053 and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared unto many. 040 MAT 027 054 Now the centurion, and they that were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. 040 MAT 027 055 And many women were there beholding from afar, which had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: 040 MAT 027 056 among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. 040 MAT 027 057 And when even was come, there came a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple: 040 MAT 027 058 this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded it to be given up. 040 MAT 027 059 And Joseph took the body, and 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 tomb, and departed. 040 MAT 027 061 And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre. 040 MAT 027 062 Now on the morrow, which is [the day] after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together unto Pilate, 040 MAT 027 063 saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I rise again. 040 MAT 027 064 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest haply his disciples come and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: and the last error will be worse than the first. 040 MAT 027 065 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a guard: go your way, make it [as] sure as ye can. 040 MAT 027 066 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, the guard being with them. 040 MAT 028 001 Now late on the sabbath day, 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 an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone, and sat upon it. 040 MAT 028 003 His appearance was as lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 040 MAT 028 004 and for fear of him the watchers did quake, and became as dead men. 040 MAT 028 005 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which hath been crucified. 040 MAT 028 006 He is not here; for he is risen, even as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 040 MAT 028 007 And go quickly, and tell his disciples, He is risen from the dead; and lo, 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 tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word. 040 MAT 028 009 And behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and took hold of his feet, and worshipped him. 040 MAT 028 010 Then saith Jesus unto them, Fear not: go tell my brethren that they depart into Galilee, and there shall they see me. 040 MAT 028 011 Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city, and told unto the chief priests all the things that were come to pass. 040 MAT 028 012 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto 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 come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and rid you of care. 040 MAT 028 015 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying was spread abroad among the Jews, [and continueth] until this day. 040 MAT 028 016 But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the 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 to them and spake unto them, saying, All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth. 040 MAT 028 019 Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost: 040 MAT 028 020 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. (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 Even as it is written in Isaiah the prophet, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way; 041 MAR 001 003 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight; 041 MAR 001 004 John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins. 041 MAR 001 005 And there went out unto him all the country of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem; and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 041 MAR 001 006 And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and [had] a leathern girdle about his loins, and did eat locusts and wild honey. 041 MAR 001 007 And he preached, saying, There cometh after me he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. 041 MAR 001 008 I baptized you with water; but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. 041 MAR 001 009 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in the Jordan. 041 MAR 001 010 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens rent asunder, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him: 041 MAR 001 011 And a voice came out of the heavens, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased. 041 MAR 001 012 And straightway the Spirit driveth him forth into the wilderness. 041 MAR 001 013 And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him. 041 MAR 001 014 Now after that John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, 041 MAR 001 015 and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe in the gospel. 041 MAR 001 016 And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea: for they were fishers. 041 MAR 001 017 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. 041 MAR 001 018 And straightway they left the nets, and followed him. 041 MAR 001 019 And going on a little further, he saw James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending the nets. 041 MAR 001 020 And straightway 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 go into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught. 041 MAR 001 022 And they were astonished at his teaching: for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes. 041 MAR 001 023 And straightway there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 041 MAR 001 024 saying, 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 the unclean spirit, tearing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. 041 MAR 001 027 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him. 041 MAR 001 028 And the report of him went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee round about. 041 MAR 001 029 And straightway, when they were come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 041 MAR 001 030 Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever; and straightway they tell him of her: 041 MAR 001 031 and he came and took her by the hand, and raised her up; and the fever left her, and she ministered unto them. 041 MAR 001 032 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were possessed with devils. 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 divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and he suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him. 041 MAR 001 035 And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed. 041 MAR 001 036 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him; 041 MAR 001 037 and they found him, and say unto him, All are seeking thee. 041 MAR 001 038 And he saith unto them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end came I forth. 041 MAR 001 039 And he went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out devils. 041 MAR 001 040 And there cometh to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 041 MAR 001 041 And being moved with compassion, he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou made clean. 041 MAR 001 042 And straightway the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean. 041 MAR 001 043 And he strictly charged him, and straightway sent him out, 041 MAR 001 044 and saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 041 MAR 001 045 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter. 041 MAR 002 001 And when he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was noised that he was in the house. 041 MAR 002 002 And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room [for them], no, not even about the door: and he spake the word unto them. 041 MAR 002 003 And they come, bringing unto him a man sick of the palsy, borne of four. 041 MAR 002 004 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed whereon the sick of the palsy lay. 041 MAR 002 005 And Jesus seeing their faith saith unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins are forgiven. 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? he blasphemeth: who can forgive sins but one, [even] God? 041 MAR 002 008 And straightway Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, saith unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? 041 MAR 002 009 Whether is easier, to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins are forgiven; 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 power on earth to forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy), 041 MAR 002 011 I say unto thee, Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thy house. 041 MAR 002 012 And he arose, and straightway took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch 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 unto him, and he taught them. 041 MAR 002 014 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the [son] of Alphaeus sitting at the place of toll, and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him. 041 MAR 002 015 And it came to pass, that he was sitting at meat in his house, and many publicans and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him. 041 MAR 002 016 And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and publicans, said unto his disciples, He eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners. 041 MAR 002 017 And when Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners. 041 MAR 002 018 And John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting: and they come and say unto him, Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not? 041 MAR 002 019 And Jesus said unto them, Can the sons of the bride-chamber 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 away from them, and then will they fast in that day. 041 MAR 002 021 No man seweth a piece of undressed cloth on an old garment: else that which should fill it up taketh from it, the new from the old, and a worse rent is made. 041 MAR 002 022 And no man putteth new wine into old wineskins: else the wine will burst the skins, and the wine perisheth, and the skins: but [they put] new wine into fresh wineskins. 041 MAR 002 023 And it came to pass, that he was going on the sabbath day through the cornfields; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn. 041 MAR 002 024 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful? 041 MAR 002 025 And he said unto them, Did ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him? 041 MAR 002 026 How he entered into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests, and gave also to them that were with him? 041 MAR 002 027 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 041 MAR 002 028 so that the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath. 041 MAR 003 001 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had his hand withered. 041 MAR 003 002 And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him. 041 MAR 003 003 And he saith unto the man that had his hand withered, Stand forth. 041 MAR 003 004 And he saith unto them, Is it lawful on the sabbath day to do good, or to do harm? to save a life, or to kill? But they held their peace. 041 MAR 003 005 And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their heart, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth: and his hand was restored. 041 MAR 003 006 And the Pharisees went out, and straightway with the Herodians took counsel against him, how they might destroy him. 041 MAR 003 007 And Jesus with his disciples withdrew to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed: and from Judaea, 041 MAR 003 008 and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and beyond Jordan, and about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing what great things he did, came unto him. 041 MAR 003 009 And he spake to his disciples, that a little boat should wait on him because of the crowd, lest they should throng him: 041 MAR 003 010 for he had healed many; insomuch that as many as had plagues pressed upon him that they might touch him. 041 MAR 003 011 And the unclean spirits, whensoever they beheld him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God. 041 MAR 003 012 And he charged them much that they should not make him known. 041 MAR 003 013 And he goeth up into the mountain, and calleth unto him whom he himself would: and they went unto him. 041 MAR 003 014 And he appointed twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, 041 MAR 003 015 and to have authority to cast out devils: 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 them he surnamed Boanerges, which is, 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 Cananaean, 041 MAR 003 019 and Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him. And he cometh into a 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 it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself. 041 MAR 003 022 And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and, By the prince of the devils casteth he out the devils. 041 MAR 003 023 And he called them unto him, and said unto 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 will not be able to stand. 041 MAR 003 026 And if Satan hath risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 041 MAR 003 027 But no one can enter into the house of the strong [man], and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong [man]; and then he will spoil his house. 041 MAR 003 028 Verily I say unto you, All their sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and their blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: 041 MAR 003 029 but whosoever shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit hath never forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin: (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166) 041 MAR 003 030 because they said, He hath an unclean spirit. 041 MAR 003 031 And there come his mother and his brethren; and, standing without, they sent unto him, calling him. 041 MAR 003 032 And a multitude was sitting about him; and they say unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. 041 MAR 003 033 And he answereth them, and saith, Who is my mother and my brethren? 041 MAR 003 034 And looking round on them which sat round about him, he saith, Behold, my mother and my brethren! 041 MAR 003 035 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. 041 MAR 004 001 And again he began to teach by the sea side. And there is gathered unto him a very great multitude, so that he entered into a boat, and sat in the sea; and all the multitude were by the sea on the land. 041 MAR 004 002 And he taught them many things in parables, and said unto them in his teaching, 041 MAR 004 003 Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow: 041 MAR 004 004 and it came to pass, as he sowed, some [seed] fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured it. 041 MAR 004 005 And other fell on the rocky [ground], where it had not much earth; and straightway it sprang up, because it had no deepness of earth: 041 MAR 004 006 and when the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 041 MAR 004 007 And other fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 041 MAR 004 008 And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold. 041 MAR 004 009 And he said, Who 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 parables. 041 MAR 004 011 And he said unto them, Unto you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all 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 haply they should turn again, and it should be forgiven them. 041 MAR 004 013 And he saith unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how shall ye know all the 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; and when they have heard, straightway cometh Satan, and taketh away the word which hath been sown in them. 041 MAR 004 016 And these in like manner are they that are sown upon the rocky [places], who, when they have heard the word, straightway receive it with joy; 041 MAR 004 017 and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway they stumble. 041 MAR 004 018 And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they that have heard the word, 041 MAR 004 019 and the cares of the 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 those are they that were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold. 041 MAR 004 021 And he said unto them, Is the lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, [and] not to be put on the stand? 041 MAR 004 022 For there is nothing hid, save that it should be manifested; neither was [anything] made 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 unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete it shall be measured unto you: and more shall be given unto you. 041 MAR 004 025 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken away 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 upon the earth; 041 MAR 004 027 and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he knoweth not how. 041 MAR 004 028 The earth beareth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear. 041 MAR 004 029 But when the fruit is ripe, straightway he putteth forth the sickle, because the harvest is come. 041 MAR 004 030 And he said, How shall we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable shall we set it forth? 041 MAR 004 031 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the earth, though it be less than all the seeds that are upon the earth, 041 MAR 004 032 yet when it is sown, groweth up, and becometh greater than all the herbs, and putteth out great branches; so that the birds of the heaven can lodge under the shadow thereof. 041 MAR 004 033 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it: 041 MAR 004 034 and without a parable spake he not unto them: but privately to his own disciples he expounded all things. 041 MAR 004 035 And on that day, when even was come, he saith unto them, Let us go over unto the other side. 041 MAR 004 036 And leaving the multitude, they take him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him. 041 MAR 004 037 And there ariseth a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, insomuch that the boat was now filling. 041 MAR 004 038 And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? 041 MAR 004 039 And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 041 MAR 004 040 And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful? have ye not yet faith? 041 MAR 004 041 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him? 041 MAR 005 001 And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes. 041 MAR 005 002 And when he was come out of the boat, straightway there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, 041 MAR 005 003 who had his dwelling in the tombs: and no man could any more bind him, no, not with a chain; 041 MAR 005 004 because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been rent asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: and no man had strength to tame him. 041 MAR 005 005 And always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones. 041 MAR 005 006 And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshipped him; 041 MAR 005 007 and crying out with a loud voice, he saith, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I adjure thee by God, torment me not. 041 MAR 005 008 For he said unto him, Come forth, thou unclean spirit, out of the man. 041 MAR 005 009 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he saith unto him, 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 on the mountain side a great herd of swine feeding. 041 MAR 005 012 And they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. 041 MAR 005 013 And he gave them leave. And the unclean spirits came out, and entered into the swine: and the herd rushed down the steep into the sea, [in number] about two thousand; and they were choked in the sea. 041 MAR 005 014 And they that fed them fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they came to see what it was that had come to pass. 041 MAR 005 015 And they come to Jesus, and behold him that was possessed with devils sitting, clothed and in his right mind, [even] him that had the legion: and they were afraid. 041 MAR 005 016 And they that saw it declared unto them how it befell him that was possessed with devils, and concerning the swine. 041 MAR 005 017 And they began to beseech him to depart from their borders. 041 MAR 005 018 And as he was entering into the boat, he that had been possessed with devils besought him that he might be with him. 041 MAR 005 019 And he suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go to thy house unto thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and [how] he had mercy on thee. 041 MAR 005 020 And he went his way, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel. 041 MAR 005 021 And when Jesus had crossed over again in the boat unto the other side, a great multitude was gathered unto him: and he was by the sea. 041 MAR 005 022 And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and seeing him, he falleth at his feet, 041 MAR 005 023 and beseecheth him much, saying, My little daughter is at the point of death: [I pray thee], that thou come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be made whole, and live. 041 MAR 005 024 And he went with him; and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him. 041 MAR 005 025 And a woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, 041 MAR 005 026 and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 041 MAR 005 027 having heard the things concerning Jesus, came in the crowd behind, and touched his garment. 041 MAR 005 028 For she said, If I touch but his garments, I shall be made whole. 041 MAR 005 029 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her plague. 041 MAR 005 030 And straightway Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power [proceeding] from him had gone forth, turned him about in the crowd, and said, Who touched my garments? 041 MAR 005 031 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 041 MAR 005 032 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. 041 MAR 005 033 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. 041 MAR 005 034 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. 041 MAR 005 035 While he yet spake, they come from the ruler of the synagogue’s [house], saying, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further? 041 MAR 005 036 But Jesus, not heeding the word spoken, saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not, only believe. 041 MAR 005 037 And he suffered no man to follow with him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. 041 MAR 005 038 And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he beholdeth a tumult, and [many] weeping and wailing greatly. 041 MAR 005 039 And when he was entered in, he saith unto them, Why make ye a tumult, and weep? the child is not dead, but sleepeth. 041 MAR 005 040 And they laughed him to scorn. But he, having put them all forth, taketh the father of the child and her mother and them that were with him, and goeth in where the child was. 041 MAR 005 041 And taking the child by the hand, he saith unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, Arise. 041 MAR 005 042 And straightway the damsel rose up, and walked; for she was twelve years old. And they were amazed straightway with a great amazement. 041 MAR 005 043 And he charged them much that no man should know this: and he commanded that [something] should be given her to eat. 041 MAR 006 001 And he went out from thence; and he cometh 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, Whence hath this man these things? and, What is the wisdom that is given unto this man, and [what mean] such mighty works wrought by his hands? 041 MAR 006 003 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended in him. 041 MAR 006 004 And Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. 041 MAR 006 005 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. 041 MAR 006 006 And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages teaching. 041 MAR 006 007 And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits; 041 MAR 006 008 and he charged them that they should take nothing for [their] journey, save a staff only; no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse; 041 MAR 006 009 but [to go] shod with sandals: and, [said he], put not on two coats. 041 MAR 006 010 And he said unto them, Wheresoever ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart thence. 041 MAR 006 011 And whatsoever place shall not receive you, and they hear you not, as ye go forth thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony unto them. 041 MAR 006 012 And they went out, and preached that [men] should repent. 041 MAR 006 013 And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them. 041 MAR 006 014 And king Herod heard [thereof]; for his name had become known: and he said, John the Baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him. 041 MAR 006 015 But others said, It is Elijah. And others said, [It is] a prophet, [even] as one of the prophets. 041 MAR 006 016 But Herod, when he heard [thereof], said, John, whom I beheaded, he is risen. 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 said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife. 041 MAR 006 019 And Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him; and she could not; 041 MAR 006 020 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous man and a holy, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was much perplexed; and he heard him gladly. 041 MAR 006 021 And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee; 041 MAR 006 022 and when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and them that sat at meat with him; and the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee. 041 MAR 006 023 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom. 041 MAR 006 024 And she went out, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist. 041 MAR 006 025 And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou forthwith give me in a charger the head of John the Baptist. 041 MAR 006 026 And the king was exceeding sorry; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat at meat, he would not reject her. 041 MAR 006 027 And straightway the king sent forth a soldier of his guard, and commanded to bring his head: and he went and beheaded him in the prison, 041 MAR 006 028 and brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel; and the damsel gave it to her mother. 041 MAR 006 029 And when his disciples heard [thereof], they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb. 041 MAR 006 030 And the apostles gather themselves together unto Jesus; and they told him all things, whatsoever they had done, and whatsoever they had taught. 041 MAR 006 031 And he saith unto them, Come ye yourselves apart 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 went away in the boat to a desert place apart. 041 MAR 006 033 And [the people] saw them going, and many knew [them], and they ran there together on foot from all the cities, and outwent them. 041 MAR 006 034 And he came forth and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on 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 unto him, and said, The place is desert, and the day is now far spent: 041 MAR 006 036 send them away, that they may go into the country and villages round about, and buy themselves somewhat to eat. 041 MAR 006 037 But he answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat? 041 MAR 006 038 And he saith unto 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 that all should 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 he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves; and he gave to the disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all. 041 MAR 006 042 And they did all eat, and were filled. 041 MAR 006 043 And they took up broken pieces, twelve basketfuls, and also of the fishes. 041 MAR 006 044 And they that ate the loaves were five thousand men. 041 MAR 006 045 And straightway he constrained his disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before [him] unto the other side to Bethsaida, while he himself sendeth the multitude away. 041 MAR 006 046 And after he had taken leave of them, he departed into the mountain to pray. 041 MAR 006 047 And when even was come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. 041 MAR 006 048 And seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary unto them, about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking on the sea; and he would have passed by them: 041 MAR 006 049 but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was an apparition, and cried out: 041 MAR 006 050 for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he straightway spake with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid. 041 MAR 006 051 And he went up unto them into the boat; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves; 041 MAR 006 052 for they understood not concerning the loaves, but their heart was hardened. 041 MAR 006 053 And when they had crossed over, they came to the land unto Gennesaret, and moored to the shore. 041 MAR 006 054 And when they were come out of the boat, straightway [the people] knew him, 041 MAR 006 055 and ran round about that whole region, and began to carry about on their beds those that were sick, where they heard he was. 041 MAR 006 056 And wheresoever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole. 041 MAR 007 001 And there are gathered together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which had come from Jerusalem, 041 MAR 007 002 and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with defiled, that is, unwashen, hands. 041 MAR 007 003 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands diligently, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders: 041 MAR 007 004 and [when they come] from the marketplace, except they wash themselves, they eat not: and many other things there be, which they have received to hold, washings of cups, and pots, and brasen vessels. 041 MAR 007 005 And the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with defiled hands? 041 MAR 007 006 And he said unto them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of 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 [as their] doctrines the precepts of men. 041 MAR 007 008 Ye leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men. 041 MAR 007 009 And he said unto them, Full well do ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your tradition. 041 MAR 007 010 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death: 041 MAR 007 011 but ye say, If a man shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, Given [to God]; 041 MAR 007 012 ye no longer suffer him to do aught for his father or his mother; 041 MAR 007 013 making void the word of God by your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do. 041 MAR 007 014 And he called to him the multitude again, and said unto them, Hear me all of you, and understand: 041 MAR 007 015 there is nothing from without the man, that going into him can defile him: but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man. 041 MAR 007 017 And when he was entered into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked of him the parable. 041 MAR 007 018 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Perceive ye not, that whatsoever from without goeth into the man, [it] cannot defile him; 041 MAR 007 019 because it goeth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the draught? [This he said], making all meats clean. 041 MAR 007 020 And he said, That which proceedeth out of the man, that defileth the man. 041 MAR 007 021 For from within, out of the heart of men, evil thoughts proceed, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, 041 MAR 007 022 covetings, wickednesses, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness: 041 MAR 007 023 all these evil things proceed from within, and defile the man. 041 MAR 007 024 And from thence he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it: and he could not be hid. 041 MAR 007 025 But straightway a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet. 041 MAR 007 026 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. 041 MAR 007 027 And he said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs. 041 MAR 007 028 But she answered and saith unto him, Yea, Lord: even the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs. 041 MAR 007 029 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter. 041 MAR 007 030 And she went away unto her house, and found the child laid upon the bed, and the devil gone out. 041 MAR 007 031 And again he went out from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis. 041 MAR 007 032 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to lay his hand upon him. 041 MAR 007 033 And he took him aside from the multitude privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue; 041 MAR 007 034 and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. 041 MAR 007 035 And his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spake 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 published it. 041 MAR 007 037 And they were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh even the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak. 041 MAR 008 001 In those days, when there was again a great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, 041 MAR 008 002 I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: 041 MAR 008 003 and if I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way; and some of them are come from far. 041 MAR 008 004 And his disciples answered him, Whence shall one be able to fill these men with bread here in a desert place? 041 MAR 008 005 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven. 041 MAR 008 006 And he commandeth the multitude to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, to set before them; and they set them before the multitude. 041 MAR 008 007 And they had a few small fishes: and having blessed them, he commanded to set these also before them. 041 MAR 008 008 And they did eat, and were filled: and they took up, of broken pieces that remained over, seven baskets. 041 MAR 008 009 And they were about four thousand: and he sent them away. 041 MAR 008 010 And straightway he entered into the 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 of 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 a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation. 041 MAR 008 013 And he left them, and again entering into [the boat] departed to the other side. 041 MAR 008 014 And they forgot to take bread; and they had not 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 the leaven of Herod. 041 MAR 008 016 And they reasoned one with another, saying, We have no bread. 041 MAR 008 017 And Jesus perceiving it saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? do ye not yet perceive, neither understand? have ye your heart 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 brake the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve. 041 MAR 008 020 And when the seven among the four thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces took ye up? And they say unto him, Seven. 041 MAR 008 021 And he said unto them, Do ye not yet understand? 041 MAR 008 022 And they come unto Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man, and beseech him to touch him. 041 MAR 008 023 And he took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village; and when he had spit on his eyes, and laid his hands upon him, he asked him, Seest thou aught? 041 MAR 008 024 And he looked up, and said, I see men; for I behold [them] as trees, walking. 041 MAR 008 025 Then again he laid his hands upon his eyes; and he looked stedfastly, and was restored, and saw all things clearly. 041 MAR 008 026 And he sent him away to his home, saying, Do not even enter into the village. 041 MAR 008 027 And Jesus went forth, and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi: and in the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Who do men say that I am? 041 MAR 008 028 And they told him, saying, John the Baptist: and others, Elijah; but others, One of the prophets. 041 MAR 008 029 And he asked them, But who say ye that I am? Peter answereth and saith unto 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 the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. 041 MAR 008 032 And he spake the saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. 041 MAR 008 033 But he turning about, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and saith, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men. 041 MAR 008 034 And he called unto him the multitude with his disciples, and said unto them, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 041 MAR 008 035 For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s shall save it. 041 MAR 008 036 For what doth it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? 041 MAR 008 037 For what should a man give in exchange for his life? 041 MAR 008 038 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of man also shall be ashamed of him, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. 041 MAR 009 001 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There be some here of them that stand [by], which shall in no wise taste of death, till they see 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 bringeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them: 041 MAR 009 003 and his garments became glistering, exceeding white; so as no fuller on earth can whiten them. 041 MAR 009 004 And there appeared unto them Elijah with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus. 041 MAR 009 005 And Peter answereth and saith to Jesus, Rabbi, 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 wist not what to answer; for they became sore afraid. 041 MAR 009 007 And there came a cloud overshadowing them: and there came a voice out of the cloud, This is my beloved Son: hear ye him. 041 MAR 009 008 And suddenly looking round about, they saw no one any more, save Jesus only with themselves. 041 MAR 009 009 And as they were coming down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, save when the Son of man should have risen again from the dead. 041 MAR 009 010 And they kept the saying, questioning among themselves what the rising again from the dead should mean. 041 MAR 009 011 And they asked him, saying, The scribes say that Elijah must first come. 041 MAR 009 012 And he said unto them, Elijah indeed cometh first, and restoreth all things: and how is it written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things and be set at nought? 041 MAR 009 013 But I say unto you, that Elijah is come, and they have also done unto him whatsoever they listed, even as it is written of him. 041 MAR 009 014 And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them. 041 MAR 009 015 And straightway all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him. 041 MAR 009 016 And he asked them, What question ye with them? 041 MAR 009 017 And one of the multitude answered him, Master, I brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; 041 MAR 009 018 and wheresoever it taketh him, it dasheth him down: and he foameth, and grindeth his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast it out; and they were not able. 041 MAR 009 019 And he answereth them and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him unto me. 041 MAR 009 020 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him grievously; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. 041 MAR 009 021 And he asked his father, How long time is it since this hath come unto him? And he said, From a child. 041 MAR 009 022 And oft-times it hath cast him both into the fire and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do anything, have compassion on us, and help us. 041 MAR 009 023 And Jesus said unto him, If thou canst! All things are possible to him that believeth. 041 MAR 009 024 Straightway the father of the child cried out, and said, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. 041 MAR 009 025 And when Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. 041 MAR 009 026 And having cried out, and torn him much, he came out: and [the child] became as one dead; insomuch that the more part said, He is dead. 041 MAR 009 027 But Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up; and he arose. 041 MAR 009 028 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, [saying], We could not cast it out. 041 MAR 009 029 And he said unto them, This kind can come out by nothing, save by prayer. 041 MAR 009 030 And they went forth from thence, 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 unto them, The Son of man is delivered up into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and when he is killed, after three days he shall rise again. 041 MAR 009 032 But they understood not the saying, and were afraid to ask him. 041 MAR 009 033 And they came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house he asked them, What were ye reasoning in the way? 041 MAR 009 034 But they held their peace: for they had disputed one with another in the way, who [was] the greatest. 041 MAR 009 035 And he sat down, and called the twelve; and he saith unto them, If any man would be first, he shall be last of all, and minister of all. 041 MAR 009 036 And he took a little child, and set him in the midst of them: and taking him in his arms, he said unto them, 041 MAR 009 037 Whosoever shall receive one of such little children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me. 041 MAR 009 038 John said unto him, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name: and we forbade him, because he followed not us. 041 MAR 009 039 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me. 041 MAR 009 040 For he that is not against us is for us. 041 MAR 009 041 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink, because ye are Christ’s, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. 041 MAR 009 042 And whosoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it were better for him if a great millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. 041 MAR 009 043 And if thy hand cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed, rather than having thy two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire. (Geenna g1067) 041 MAR 009 045 And if thy foot cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life halt, rather than having thy two feet to be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067) 041 MAR 009 047 And if thine eye cause thee to stumble, cast it out: it is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell; (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. 041 MAR 009 050 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost its saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace one with another. 041 MAR 010 001 And he arose from thence, and cometh into the borders of Judaea and beyond Jordan: and multitudes come together unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again. 041 MAR 010 002 And there came unto him Pharisees, 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 unto them, What did Moses command you? 041 MAR 010 004 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. 041 MAR 010 005 But Jesus said unto them, For your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. 041 MAR 010 006 But from the beginning of the creation, Male and female made he them. 041 MAR 010 007 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; 041 MAR 010 008 and the twain shall become one flesh: so that they are no more twain, but one flesh. 041 MAR 010 009 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 041 MAR 010 010 And in the house the disciples asked him again of this matter. 041 MAR 010 011 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her: 041 MAR 010 012 and if she herself shall put away her husband, and marry another, she committeth adultery. 041 MAR 010 013 And they brought unto him little children, that he should touch them: and the disciples rebuked them. 041 MAR 010 014 But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me; forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. 041 MAR 010 015 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein. 041 MAR 010 016 And he took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his hands upon them. 041 MAR 010 017 And as he was going forth into the way, there ran one to him, 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 unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good save one, [even] God. 041 MAR 010 019 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honour thy father and mother. 041 MAR 010 020 And he said unto him, Master, all these things have I observed from my youth. 041 MAR 010 021 And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. 041 MAR 010 022 But his countenance fell at the saying, and he went away sorrowful: for he was one that had great possessions. 041 MAR 010 023 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! 041 MAR 010 024 And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto 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 a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 041 MAR 010 026 And they were astonished exceedingly, saying unto him, Then who can be saved? 041 MAR 010 027 Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God. 041 MAR 010 028 Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. 041 MAR 010 029 Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake, and for the gospel’s sake, 041 MAR 010 030 but he shall receive a 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 was going before them: and they were amazed; and they that followed were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were to happen unto him, 041 MAR 010 033 [saying], Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles: 041 MAR 010 034 and they shall mock him, and shall spit upon him, and shall scourge him, and shall kill him; and after three days he shall rise again. 041 MAR 010 035 And there come near unto him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying unto him, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall ask of thee. 041 MAR 010 036 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you? 041 MAR 010 037 And they said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on [thy] left hand, in thy glory. 041 MAR 010 038 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I drink? or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? 041 MAR 010 039 And they said unto him, We are able. And Jesus said unto them, The cup that I drink ye shall drink; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized: 041 MAR 010 040 but to sit on my right hand or on [my] left hand is not mine to give: but [it is for them] for whom it hath been prepared. 041 MAR 010 041 And when the ten heard it, they began to be moved with indignation concerning James and John. 041 MAR 010 042 And Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great ones exercise authority over them. 041 MAR 010 043 But it is not so among you: but whosoever would become great among you, shall be your minister: 041 MAR 010 044 and whosoever would be first among you, shall be servant of all. 041 MAR 010 045 For verily the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. 041 MAR 010 046 And they come to Jericho: and as he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the way side. 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 rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. 041 MAR 010 049 And Jesus stood still, and said, Call ye him. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good cheer: rise, he calleth thee. 041 MAR 010 050 And he, casting away his garment, sprang up, and came to Jesus. 041 MAR 010 051 And Jesus answered him, and said, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And the blind man said unto him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight. 041 MAR 010 052 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And straightway he received his sight, and followed him in the way. 041 MAR 011 001 And when they draw nigh unto Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples, 041 MAR 011 002 and saith unto them, Go your way into the village that is over against you: and straightway as ye enter into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat; loose him, and bring him. 041 MAR 011 003 And if any one say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye, The Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him back hither. 041 MAR 011 004 And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door without in the open street; and they loose him. 041 MAR 011 005 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt? 041 MAR 011 006 And they said unto them even as Jesus had said: and they let them go. 041 MAR 011 007 And they bring the colt unto Jesus, and cast on him their garments; and he sat upon him. 041 MAR 011 008 And many spread their garments upon the way; and others branches, which they had cut from the fields. 041 MAR 011 009 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, Hosanna; Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord: 041 MAR 011 010 Blessed [is] the kingdom that cometh, [the kingdom] of our father David: Hosanna in the highest. 041 MAR 011 011 And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and when he had looked round about upon all things, it being now eventide, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve. 041 MAR 011 012 And on the morrow, when they were come out from Bethany, he hungered. 041 MAR 011 013 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for it was not the season of figs. 041 MAR 011 014 And he answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit from thee henceforward for ever. And his disciples heard it. (aiōn g165) 041 MAR 011 015 And they come to Jerusalem: and he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and them that bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves; 041 MAR 011 016 and he would not suffer that any man should carry a vessel through the temple. 041 MAR 011 017 And he taught, and said unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? but ye have made it a den of robbers. 041 MAR 011 018 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, for all the multitude was astonished at his teaching. 041 MAR 011 019 And every evening he went forth out of the city. 041 MAR 011 020 And as they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots. 041 MAR 011 021 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 041 MAR 011 022 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 041 MAR 011 023 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it. 041 MAR 011 024 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye have received them, and ye shall have them. 041 MAR 011 025 And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any one; that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you 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 they said unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? or who gave thee this authority to do these things? 041 MAR 011 029 And Jesus said unto them, I will 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 should we say, From men—they feared the people: for all verily held John to be a prophet. 041 MAR 011 033 And they answered Jesus and say, We know not. And Jesus saith unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. 041 MAR 012 001 And he began to speak unto them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a pit for the winepress, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country. 041 MAR 012 002 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruits of the vineyard. 041 MAR 012 003 And they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty. 041 MAR 012 004 And again he sent unto them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and handled shamefully. 041 MAR 012 005 And he sent another; and him they killed: and many others; beating some, and killing some. 041 MAR 012 006 He had yet one, a beloved son: he sent him last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son. 041 MAR 012 007 But those husbandmen 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 forth out of the vineyard. 041 MAR 012 009 What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. 041 MAR 012 010 Have ye not read even this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner: 041 MAR 012 011 This was from the Lord, And it is marvelous in our eyes? 041 MAR 012 012 And they sought to lay hold on him; and they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spake the parable against them: and they left him, and went away. 041 MAR 012 013 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might catch him in talk. 041 MAR 012 014 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest not for any one: for thou regardest not the person of men, but of a truth teachest the way of God: Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? 041 MAR 012 015 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto 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 unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar’s. 041 MAR 012 017 And Jesus said unto them, Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s. And they marveled greatly at him. 041 MAR 012 018 And there come unto him Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying, 041 MAR 012 019 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man’s brother die, and leave a wife behind him, and leave no child, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 041 MAR 012 020 There were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed; 041 MAR 012 021 and the second took her, and died, leaving no seed behind him; and the third likewise: 041 MAR 012 022 and the seven left no seed. Last of all the woman also died. 041 MAR 012 023 In the resurrection whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife. 041 MAR 012 024 Jesus said unto them, Is it not for this cause that ye err, that ye know not the scriptures, nor 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 angels in heaven. 041 MAR 012 026 But as touching the dead, that they are raised; have ye not read in the book of Moses, in [the place concerning] the Bush, how God spake unto 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 of the living: ye do greatly err. 041 MAR 012 028 And one of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, What commandment is the first of all? 041 MAR 012 029 Jesus answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God, the Lord is one: 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. 041 MAR 012 031 The second is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. 041 MAR 012 032 And the scribe said unto him, Of a truth, Master, thou hast well said that he is one; and there is none other but he: 041 MAR 012 033 and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. 041 MAR 012 034 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question. 041 MAR 012 035 And Jesus answered and said, as he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that the Christ is the son of David? 041 MAR 012 036 David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet. 041 MAR 012 037 David himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he his son? And the common people heard him gladly. 041 MAR 012 038 And in his teaching he said, Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and [to have] salutations in the marketplaces, 041 MAR 012 039 and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts: 041 MAR 012 040 they which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers; these shall receive greater condemnation. 041 MAR 012 041 And he sat down over against the treasury, and beheld how the multitude cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. 041 MAR 012 042 And there came a poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing. 041 MAR 012 043 And he called unto him his disciples, and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than all they which are casting into the treasury: 041 MAR 012 044 for they all did cast in of their superfluity; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, [even] all her living. 041 MAR 013 001 And as he went forth out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, behold, what manner of stones and what manner of buildings! 041 MAR 013 002 And Jesus said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left here one stone upon another, which shall not be thrown down. 041 MAR 013 003 And as he sat on the mount of Olives over against 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 these things are all about to be accomplished? 041 MAR 013 005 And Jesus began to say unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray. 041 MAR 013 006 Many shall come in my name, saying, I am [he]; and shall lead many astray. 041 MAR 013 007 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be not troubled: [these things] must needs come to pass; but the end is not yet. 041 MAR 013 008 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: there shall be earthquakes in divers places; there shall be famines: these things are the beginning of travail. 041 MAR 013 009 But take ye heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in synagogues shall ye be beaten; and before governors and kings shall ye stand for my sake, for a testimony unto them. 041 MAR 013 010 And the gospel must first be preached unto all the nations. 041 MAR 013 011 And when they lead you [to judgment], and deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand what ye shall speak: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. 041 MAR 013 012 And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child; and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death. 041 MAR 013 013 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved. 041 MAR 013 014 But when ye see the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not (let him that readeth understand), then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains: 041 MAR 013 015 and let him that is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house: 041 MAR 013 016 and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloke. 041 MAR 013 017 But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! 041 MAR 013 018 And pray ye that it be not in the winter. 041 MAR 013 019 For those days shall be tribulation, such as there hath not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never shall be. 041 MAR 013 020 And except the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he chose, he shortened the days. 041 MAR 013 021 And then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ; or, Lo, there; believe [it] not: 041 MAR 013 022 for there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall shew signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, the elect. 041 MAR 013 023 But take ye heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand. 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 shall be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens shall be shaken. 041 MAR 013 026 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory. 041 MAR 013 027 And then shall he send forth the 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 from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is nigh; 041 MAR 013 029 even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that he is nigh, [even] at the doors. 041 MAR 013 030 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, until all these things be accomplished. 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 or that hour knoweth no one, not even the angels 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 [It is] as [when] a man, sojourning in another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, to each one his work, commanded also the porter to watch. 041 MAR 013 035 Watch therefore: for ye know not when the lord of the house cometh, whether at even, or at midnight, or at cockcrowing, or in the morning; 041 MAR 013 036 lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 041 MAR 013 037 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. 041 MAR 014 001 Now after two days was [the feast of] the passover and the unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him with subtilty, and kill him: 041 MAR 014 002 for they said, Not during the feast, lest haply there shall be a tumult of the people. 041 MAR 014 003 And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster cruse of ointment of spikenard very costly; [and] she brake the cruse, and poured it over his head. 041 MAR 014 004 But there were some that had indignation among themselves, [saying], To what purpose hath this waste of the ointment been made? 041 MAR 014 005 For this ointment might have been sold for above three hundred pence, and given to the poor. And they murmured against her. 041 MAR 014 006 But 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 always with you, and whensoever ye will ye can do them good: but me ye have not always. 041 MAR 014 008 She hath done what she could: she hath anointed my body aforehand for the burying. 041 MAR 014 009 And verily I say unto you, Wheresoever the gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her. 041 MAR 014 010 And Judas Iscariot, he that was one of the twelve, went away unto the chief priests, that he might deliver him unto them. 041 MAR 014 011 And they, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently deliver him [unto them]. 041 MAR 014 012 And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the passover, his disciples say unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and make ready that thou mayest eat the passover? 041 MAR 014 013 And he sendeth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him; 041 MAR 014 014 and wheresoever he shall enter in, say to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is my guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? 041 MAR 014 015 And he will himself shew you a large upper room furnished [and] ready: and there make ready for us. 041 MAR 014 016 And the disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. 041 MAR 014 017 And when it was evening he cometh with the twelve. 041 MAR 014 018 And as they sat and were eating, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you shall betray me, [even] he that eateth with me. 041 MAR 014 019 They began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? 041 MAR 014 020 And he said unto them, [It is] one of the twelve, he that dippeth with me in the dish. 041 MAR 014 021 For the Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born. 041 MAR 014 022 And as they were eating, he took bread, and when he had blessed, he brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take ye: this is my body. 041 MAR 014 023 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them: and they all drank of it. 041 MAR 014 024 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the covenant, which is shed for many. 041 MAR 014 025 Verily I say unto you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God. 041 MAR 014 026 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out unto the mount of Olives. 041 MAR 014 027 And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad. 041 MAR 014 028 Howbeit, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee. 041 MAR 014 029 But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I. 041 MAR 014 030 And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that thou today, [even] this night, before the cock crow twice, shalt deny me thrice. 041 MAR 014 031 But he spake exceeding vehemently, If I must die with thee, I will not deny thee. And in like manner also said they all. 041 MAR 014 032 And they come unto a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I pray. 041 MAR 014 033 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly amazed, and sore troubled. 041 MAR 014 034 And he saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful even unto death: abide 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 away from him. 041 MAR 014 036 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; remove this cup from me: howbeit not what I will, but what thou wilt. 041 MAR 014 037 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest thou not watch one hour? 041 MAR 014 038 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 041 MAR 014 039 And again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words. 041 MAR 014 040 And again he came, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they wist not what to answer him. 041 MAR 014 041 And he cometh the third time, and saith unto 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 Arise, let us be going: behold, he that betrayeth me is at hand. 041 MAR 014 043 And straightway, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 041 MAR 014 044 Now he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he; take him, and lead him away safely. 041 MAR 014 045 And when he was come, straightway he came to him, and saith, Rabbi; and kissed him. 041 MAR 014 046 And they laid hands on him, and took him. 041 MAR 014 047 But a certain one of them that stood by drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear. 041 MAR 014 048 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves to seize me? 041 MAR 014 049 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but [this is done] that the scriptures might be fulfilled. 041 MAR 014 050 And they all left him, and fled. 041 MAR 014 051 And a certain young man followed with him, having a linen cloth cast about him, over [his] naked [body]: and they lay hold on him; 041 MAR 014 052 but he left the linen cloth, and fled naked. 041 MAR 014 053 And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and there come together with him all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. 041 MAR 014 054 And Peter had followed him afar off, even within, into the court of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light [of the fire]. 041 MAR 014 055 Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found it not. 041 MAR 014 056 For many bare false witness against him, and their witness agreed not together. 041 MAR 014 057 And there stood up certain, and bare false witness against him, saying, 041 MAR 014 058 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands. 041 MAR 014 059 And not even so did their witness 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 witness against thee? 041 MAR 014 061 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and saith unto 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 at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven. 041 MAR 014 063 And the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What further need have we of witnesses? 041 MAR 014 064 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be worthy 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 unto him, Prophesy: and the officers received him with blows of their hands. 041 MAR 014 066 And as Peter was beneath in the court, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest; 041 MAR 014 067 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and saith, Thou also wast with the Nazarene, [even] Jesus. 041 MAR 014 068 But he denied, saying, I neither know, nor understand what thou sayest: and he went out into the porch; and the cock crew. 041 MAR 014 069 And the maid saw him, and began again to say to them that stood by, This is [one] of them. 041 MAR 014 070 But he again denied it. And after a little while again they that stood by said to Peter, Of a truth thou art [one] of them; for thou art a Galilaean. 041 MAR 014 071 But he began to curse, and to swear, I know not this man of whom ye speak. 041 MAR 014 072 And straightway the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word, how that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept. 041 MAR 015 001 And straightway in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate. 041 MAR 015 002 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering saith unto him, Thou sayest. 041 MAR 015 003 And the chief priests accused him of many things. 041 MAR 015 004 And Pilate again asked him, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they accuse thee of. 041 MAR 015 005 But Jesus no more answered anything; insomuch that Pilate marveled. 041 MAR 015 006 Now at the feast he used to release unto them one prisoner, whom they asked of him. 041 MAR 015 007 And there was one called Barabbas, [lying] bound with them that had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder. 041 MAR 015 008 And the multitude went up and began to ask him [to do] as he was wont to do unto them. 041 MAR 015 009 And Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? 041 MAR 015 010 For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up. 041 MAR 015 011 But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. 041 MAR 015 012 And Pilate again answered and said unto them, What then shall I do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? 041 MAR 015 013 And they cried out again, Crucify him. 041 MAR 015 014 And Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, Crucify him. 041 MAR 015 015 And Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released unto them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. 041 MAR 015 016 And the soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they call together the whole band. 041 MAR 015 017 And they clothe him with purple, and plaiting a crown of thorns, they put it on him; 041 MAR 015 018 and they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! 041 MAR 015 019 And they smote his head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him. 041 MAR 015 020 And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the purple, and put on him his garments. And they lead him out to crucify him. 041 MAR 015 021 And they compel one passing by, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go [with them], that he might bear his cross. 041 MAR 015 022 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. 041 MAR 015 023 And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. 041 MAR 015 024 And they crucify him, and part his garments among them, casting lots upon them, what each 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 robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left. 041 MAR 015 029 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ha! 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 In like manner also the chief priests mocking [him] among themselves with the scribes said, He saved others; himself he cannot save. 041 MAR 015 032 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached 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, 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 filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to take him down. 041 MAR 015 037 And Jesus uttered a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. 041 MAR 015 038 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. 041 MAR 015 039 And when the centurion, which stood by over against him, saw that he so gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. 041 MAR 015 040 And there were also women beholding from afar: among whom [were] both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; 041 MAR 015 041 who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him; and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem. 041 MAR 015 042 And when even was now come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, 041 MAR 015 043 there came Joseph of Arimathaea, a councillor of honourable estate, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God; and he boldly went in unto Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. 041 MAR 015 044 And Pilate marveled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. 041 MAR 015 045 And when he learned it of the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph. 041 MAR 015 046 And he bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of a rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. 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, bought spices, that they might come and anoint him. 041 MAR 016 002 And very early on the first day of the week, they come to the tomb when the sun was risen. 041 MAR 016 003 And they were saying among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the tomb? 041 MAR 016 004 and looking up, they see that the stone is rolled back: for it was exceeding great. 041 MAR 016 005 And entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, arrayed in a white robe; and they were amazed. 041 MAR 016 006 And he saith unto them, Be not amazed: ye seek Jesus, the Nazarene, which hath been 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, He goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. 041 MAR 016 008 And they went out, and fled from the tomb; for trembling and astonishment had come upon them: and they said nothing to any one; for they were afraid. 041 MAR 016 009 (note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) Now when he was risen early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven devils. 041 MAR 016 010 She went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. 041 MAR 016 011 And they, when they heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, disbelieved. 041 MAR 016 012 And after these things he was manifested in another form unto two of them, as they walked, on their way into the country. 041 MAR 016 013 And they went away and told it unto the rest: neither believed they them. 041 MAR 016 014 And afterward he was manifested unto the eleven themselves as they sat at meat; and he upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. 041 MAR 016 015 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. 041 MAR 016 016 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned. 041 MAR 016 017 And these signs shall follow them that believe: in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 041 MAR 016 018 they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 041 MAR 016 019 So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken unto them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 041 MAR 016 020 And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen. # # BOOK 042 LUK Luke Luke 042 LUK 001 001 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to draw up a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us, 042 LUK 001 002 even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word, 042 LUK 001 003 it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus; 042 LUK 001 004 that thou mightest know the certainty concerning the things wherein thou wast instructed. 042 LUK 001 005 There was in the days of Herod, king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abijah: and he had a wife 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 that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were [now] well stricken in years. 042 LUK 001 008 Now it came to pass, 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 enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense. 042 LUK 001 010 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense. 042 LUK 001 011 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 042 LUK 001 012 And Zacharias was troubled when he saw [him], and fear fell upon him. 042 LUK 001 013 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: because thy supplication 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 he shall drink no wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb. 042 LUK 001 016 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn unto the Lord their God. 042 LUK 001 017 And he shall go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient [to walk] in the wisdom of the just; to make ready for the Lord a people prepared [for him]. 042 LUK 001 018 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years. 042 LUK 001 019 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak unto thee, and to bring thee these good tidings. 042 LUK 001 020 And behold, thou shalt be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall come to pass, because thou believedst not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season. 042 LUK 001 021 And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and they marveled while he tarried in the temple. 042 LUK 001 022 And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: and he continued making signs unto them, and remained dumb. 042 LUK 001 023 And it came to pass, when the days of his ministration were fulfilled, he departed unto his house. 042 LUK 001 024 And after these days Elisabeth his wife conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying, 042 LUK 001 025 Thus hath the Lord done unto me in the days wherein he looked upon [me], to take away my reproach among men. 042 LUK 001 026 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 042 LUK 001 027 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 042 LUK 001 028 And he came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord [is] with thee. 042 LUK 001 029 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this might be. 042 LUK 001 030 And the angel said unto 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 Most High: and the Lord God shall give unto 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 And Mary said unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 042 LUK 001 035 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee: wherefore also that which is to be born shall be called holy, the Son of God. 042 LUK 001 036 And behold, Elisabeth thy kinswoman, she also hath conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her that was called barren. 042 LUK 001 037 For no word from God shall be void of power. 042 LUK 001 038 And Mary said, Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. 042 LUK 001 039 And Mary arose in these 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 saluted Elisabeth. 042 LUK 001 041 And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost; 042 LUK 001 042 and she lifted up her voice with a loud cry, and said, Blessed [art] thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb. 042 LUK 001 043 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come unto me? 042 LUK 001 044 For behold, when the voice of thy salutation came into mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 042 LUK 001 045 And blessed [is] she that believed; for there shall be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to 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 looked upon 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 unto generations and generations On them that fear him. 042 LUK 001 051 He hath shewed strength with his arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their heart. 042 LUK 001 052 He hath put down princes from [their] thrones, And hath exalted them of low degree. 042 LUK 001 053 The hungry he hath filled with good things; And the rich he hath sent empty away. 042 LUK 001 054 He hath holpen Israel his servant, That he might remember mercy 042 LUK 001 055 (As he spake unto our fathers) Toward Abraham and his seed for ever. (aiōn g165) 042 LUK 001 056 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned unto her house. 042 LUK 001 057 Now Elisabeth’s time was fulfilled that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son. 042 LUK 001 058 And her neighbours and her kinsfolk heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her; and they rejoiced with her. 042 LUK 001 059 And it came to pass on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have 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 unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name. 042 LUK 001 062 And they made signs to his father, what 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 marveled all. 042 LUK 001 064 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue [loosed], and he spake, blessing God. 042 LUK 001 065 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea. 042 LUK 001 066 And all that heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, What then shall this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him. 042 LUK 001 067 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, 042 LUK 001 068 Blessed [be] the Lord, the God of Israel; For he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people, 042 LUK 001 069 And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us In the house of his servant David 042 LUK 001 070 (As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets which have been since the world began), (aiōn g165) 042 LUK 001 071 Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; 042 LUK 001 072 To shew mercy towards our fathers, And to remember his holy covenant; 042 LUK 001 073 The oath which he sware unto Abraham our father, 042 LUK 001 074 To grant unto us that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies Should serve him without fear, 042 LUK 001 075 In holiness and righteousness before him all our days. 042 LUK 001 076 Yea and thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Most High: For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to make ready his ways; 042 LUK 001 077 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people In the remission of their sins, 042 LUK 001 078 Because of the tender mercy of our God, Whereby the dayspring from on high shall visit us, 042 LUK 001 079 To shine upon them that sit in darkness and the shadow of death; To guide our feet into the way of peace. 042 LUK 001 080 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel. 042 LUK 002 001 Now it came to pass in those days, there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be enrolled. 042 LUK 002 002 This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria. 042 LUK 002 003 And all went to enroll themselves, every one to 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 family of David; 042 LUK 002 005 to enroll himself with Mary, who was betrothed to him, being great with child. 042 LUK 002 006 And it came to pass, while they were there, the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered. 042 LUK 002 007 And she brought forth her firstborn son; and she 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 shepherds in the same country abiding in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock. 042 LUK 002 009 And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 042 LUK 002 010 And the angel said unto them, Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people: 042 LUK 002 011 for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 042 LUK 002 012 And this [is] the sign unto you; Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and 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 among men in whom he is well pleased. 042 LUK 002 015 And it came to pass, when the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. 042 LUK 002 016 And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger. 042 LUK 002 017 And when they saw it, they made known concerning the saying which was spoken to them about this child. 042 LUK 002 018 And all that heard it wondered at the things which were spoken unto them by the shepherds. 042 LUK 002 019 But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering 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, even as it was spoken unto them. 042 LUK 002 021 And when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him, his name was called JESUS, which was so called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb. 042 LUK 002 022 And when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up 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 this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 042 LUK 002 026 And it had been revealed unto 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 in the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, that they might do concerning him after the custom of the law, 042 LUK 002 028 then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said, 042 LUK 002 029 Now lettest thou thy servant depart, O Lord, According to thy word, in peace; 042 LUK 002 030 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, 042 LUK 002 031 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples; 042 LUK 002 032 A light for revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of thy people Israel. 042 LUK 002 033 And his father and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him; 042 LUK 002 034 and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this [child] is set for the falling and rising up of many in Israel; and for a sign which is spoken against; 042 LUK 002 035 yea and a sword shall pierce through thine own soul; that thoughts out 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, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity, 042 LUK 002 037 and she had been a widow even for fourscore and four years), which departed not from the temple, worshipping with fastings and supplications night and day. 042 LUK 002 038 And coming up at that very hour she gave thanks unto God, and spake of him to all them that were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem. 042 LUK 002 039 And when they had accomplished all things that were 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 waxed strong, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. 042 LUK 002 041 And his parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover. 042 LUK 002 042 And when he was twelve years old, they went up after the custom of the feast; 042 LUK 002 043 and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not; 042 LUK 002 044 but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they sought for him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance: 042 LUK 002 045 and when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking for him. 042 LUK 002 046 And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions: 042 LUK 002 047 and all that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 042 LUK 002 048 And when they saw him, they were astonished: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I sought thee sorrowing. 042 LUK 002 049 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be in my Father’s house? 042 LUK 002 050 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. 042 LUK 002 051 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth; and he was subject unto them: and his mother kept all [these] sayings in her heart. 042 LUK 002 052 And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men. 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 the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, 042 LUK 003 002 in the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. 042 LUK 003 003 And he came into all the region round about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins; 042 LUK 003 004 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready 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 become straight, And the rough ways smooth; 042 LUK 003 006 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. 042 LUK 003 007 He said therefore to the multitudes that went out to be baptized of him, Ye offspring of vipers, who 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 to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 042 LUK 003 009 And even now is the axe also laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 042 LUK 003 010 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do? 042 LUK 003 011 And he answered and said unto 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 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him, Master, what must we do? 042 LUK 003 013 And he said unto them, Extort no more than that which is appointed you. 042 LUK 003 014 And soldiers also asked him, saying, And we, what must we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither exact [anything] wrongfully; and be content with your wages. 042 LUK 003 015 And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ; 042 LUK 003 016 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and [with] fire: 042 LUK 003 017 whose fan is in his hand, throughly to cleanse his threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire. 042 LUK 003 018 With many other exhortations therefore preached he good tidings unto the people; 042 LUK 003 019 but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things 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 it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, 042 LUK 003 022 and the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily form, as a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. 042 LUK 003 023 And Jesus himself, when he began [to teach], was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the [son] of Heli, 042 LUK 003 024 the [son] of Matthat, the [son] of Levi, the [son] of Melchi, the [son] of Jannai, the [son] of Joseph, 042 LUK 003 025 the [son] of Mattathias, the [son] of Amos, the [son] of Nahum, the [son] of Esli, the [son] of Naggai, 042 LUK 003 026 the [son] of Maath, the [son] of Mattathias, the [son] of Semein, the [son] of Josech, the [son] of Joda, 042 LUK 003 027 the [son] of Joanan, the [son] of Rhesa, the [son] of Zerubbabel, the [son] of Shealtiel, the [son] of Neri, 042 LUK 003 028 the [son] of Melchi, the [son] of Addi, the [son] of Cosam, the [son] of Elmadam, the [son] of Er, 042 LUK 003 029 the [son] of Jesus, the [son] of Eliezer, the [son] of Jorim, the [son] of Matthat, the [son] of Levi, 042 LUK 003 030 the [son] of Symeon, the [son] of Judas, the [son] of Joseph, the [son] of Jonam, the [son] of Eliakim, 042 LUK 003 031 the [son] of Melea, the [son] of Menna, the [son] of Mattatha, the [son] of Nathan, the [son] of David, 042 LUK 003 032 the [son] of Jesse, the [son] of Obed, the [son] of Boaz, the [son] of Salmon, the [son] of Nahshon, 042 LUK 003 033 the [son] of Amminadab, the [son] of Arni, the [son] of Hezron, the [son] of Perez, the [son] of Judah, 042 LUK 003 034 the [son] of Jacob, the [son] of Isaac, the [son] of Abraham, the [son] of Terah, the [son] of Nahor, 042 LUK 003 035 the [son] of Serug, the [son] of Reu, the [son] of Peleg, the [son] of Eber, the [son] of Shelah, 042 LUK 003 036 the [son] of Cainan, the [son] of Arphaxad, the [son] of Shem, the [son] of Noah, the [son] of Lamech, 042 LUK 003 037 the [son] of Methuselah, the [son] of Enoch, the [son] of Jared, the [son] of Mahalaleel, the [son] of Cainan, 042 LUK 003 038 the [son] of Enos, the [son] of Seth, the [son] of Adam, the [son] of God. 042 LUK 004 001 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness 042 LUK 004 002 during forty days, being tempted of the devil. And he did eat nothing in those days: and when they were completed, he hungered. 042 LUK 004 003 And the devil said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, command this stone that it become bread. 042 LUK 004 004 And Jesus answered unto him, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone. 042 LUK 004 005 And he led him up, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 042 LUK 004 006 And the devil said unto him, To thee will I give all this authority, and the glory of them: for it hath been delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. 042 LUK 004 007 If thou therefore wilt worship before me, it shall all be thine. 042 LUK 004 008 And Jesus answered and said unto him, It is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 042 LUK 004 009 And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence: 042 LUK 004 010 for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to guard thee: 042 LUK 004 011 and, On their hands they shall bear thee up, Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone. 042 LUK 004 012 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 042 LUK 004 013 And when the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him for a season. 042 LUK 004 014 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and a fame went out concerning him through all the region round about. 042 LUK 004 015 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. 042 LUK 004 016 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and he entered, as his custom was, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read. 042 LUK 004 017 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And he opened the book, and found the place where it was written, 042 LUK 004 018 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor: He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised, 042 LUK 004 019 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. 042 LUK 004 020 And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down: and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him. 042 LUK 004 021 And he began to say unto them, Today hath this scripture been fulfilled in your ears. 042 LUK 004 022 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the words of grace which proceeded out of his mouth: and they said, Is not this Joseph’s son? 042 LUK 004 023 And he said unto them, Doubtless ye will say unto me this parable, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in thine own country. 042 LUK 004 024 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is acceptable in his own country. 042 LUK 004 025 But of a truth I say unto you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine over all the land; 042 LUK 004 026 and unto none of them was Elijah sent, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. 042 LUK 004 027 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian. 042 LUK 004 028 And they were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things; 042 LUK 004 029 and they rose up, and cast him forth out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong. 042 LUK 004 030 But he passing through the midst of them went his way. 042 LUK 004 031 And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the sabbath day: 042 LUK 004 032 and they were astonished at his teaching; for his word was with authority. 042 LUK 004 033 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil; and he cried out with a loud voice, 042 LUK 004 034 Ah! 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. 042 LUK 004 035 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him down in the midst, he came out of him, having done him no hurt. 042 LUK 004 036 And amazement came upon all, and they spake together, one with another, saying, What is this word? for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out. 042 LUK 004 037 And there went forth a rumour concerning him into every place of the region round about. 042 LUK 004 038 And he rose up from the synagogue, and entered into the house of Simon. And Simon’s wife’s mother was holden with a great 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 rose up and ministered unto them. 042 LUK 004 040 And when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. 042 LUK 004 041 And devils also came out from many, crying out, and saying, Thou art the Son of God. And rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ. 042 LUK 004 042 And when it was day, he came out and went into a desert place: and the multitudes sought after him, and came unto him, and would have stayed him, that he should not go from them. 042 LUK 004 043 But he said unto them, I must preach the good tidings of the kingdom of God to the other cities also: for therefore was I sent. 042 LUK 004 044 And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee. 042 LUK 005 001 Now it came to pass, while the multitude pressed upon him and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret; 042 LUK 005 002 and he 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 to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitudes out of the boat. 042 LUK 005 004 And when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. 042 LUK 005 005 And Simon answered and said, Master, we toiled all night, and took nothing: but at thy word I will let down the nets. 042 LUK 005 006 And when they had this done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes; and their nets were breaking; 042 LUK 005 007 and they beckoned unto their partners 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 But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 042 LUK 005 009 For he was amazed, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken; 042 LUK 005 010 and so were also James and John, sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. 042 LUK 005 011 And when they had brought their boats to land, they left all, and followed him. 042 LUK 005 012 And it came to pass, while he was in one of the cities, behold, a man full of leprosy: and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 042 LUK 005 013 And he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou made clean. And straightway the leprosy departed from him. 042 LUK 005 014 And he charged him to tell no man: but go thy way, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 042 LUK 005 015 But so much the more went abroad the report concerning him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed of their infirmities. 042 LUK 005 016 But he withdrew himself in the deserts, and prayed. 042 LUK 005 017 And it came to pass on one of those days, that he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every village of Galilee and Judaea and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was with him to heal. 042 LUK 005 018 And behold, men bring on a bed a man that was palsied: and they sought to bring him in, and to lay him before him. 042 LUK 005 019 And not finding by what [way] they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with his couch into the midst before Jesus. 042 LUK 005 020 And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. 042 LUK 005 021 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone? 042 LUK 005 022 But Jesus perceiving their reasonings, answered and said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts? 042 LUK 005 023 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk? 042 LUK 005 024 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins (he said unto him that was palsied), I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go unto thy house. 042 LUK 005 025 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his house, glorifying God. 042 LUK 005 026 And amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God; and they were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things today. 042 LUK 005 027 And after these things he went forth, and beheld a publican, named Levi, sitting at the place of toll, and said unto him, Follow me. 042 LUK 005 028 And he forsook all, and rose up and followed him. 042 LUK 005 029 And Levi made him a great feast in his house: and there was a great multitude of publicans and of others that were sitting at meat with them. 042 LUK 005 030 And the Pharisees and their scribes murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with the publicans and sinners? 042 LUK 005 031 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole have no need of a physician; but they that are sick. 042 LUK 005 032 I am not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. 042 LUK 005 033 And they said unto him, The disciples of John fast often, and make supplications; likewise also the [disciples] of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink. 042 LUK 005 034 And Jesus said unto them, Can ye make the sons of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? 042 LUK 005 035 But the days will come; and when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, then will they fast in those days. 042 LUK 005 036 And he spake also a parable unto them; No man rendeth a piece from a new garment and putteth it upon an old garment; else he will rend the new, and also the piece from the new will not agree with the old. 042 LUK 005 037 And no man putteth new wine into old wineskins; else the new wine will burst the skins, and itself will be spilled, and the skins will perish. 042 LUK 005 038 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins. 042 LUK 005 039 And no man having drunk old [wine] desireth new: for he saith, The old is good. 042 LUK 006 001 Now it came to pass on a sabbath, that he was going through the cornfields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. 042 LUK 006 002 But certain of the Pharisees said, Why do ye that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath day? 042 LUK 006 003 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read even this, what David did, when he was an hungred, he, and they that were with him; 042 LUK 006 004 how he entered into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests alone? 042 LUK 006 005 And he said unto them, The Son of man is lord of the sabbath. 042 LUK 006 006 And it came to pass on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered. 042 LUK 006 007 And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath; that they might find how to accuse him. 042 LUK 006 008 But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man that had his hand withered, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. 042 LUK 006 009 And Jesus said unto them, I ask you, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do harm? to save a life, or to destroy it? 042 LUK 006 010 And he looked round about on them all, and said unto him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did [so]: and his hand was restored. 042 LUK 006 011 But they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus. 042 LUK 006 012 And it came to pass in these days, that he went out into the mountain to pray; and he continued all night in prayer to God. 042 LUK 006 013 And when it was day, he called his disciples: and he chose from them twelve, whom also he named apostles; 042 LUK 006 014 Simon, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew, 042 LUK 006 015 and Matthew and Thomas, and James [the son] of Alphaeus, and Simon which was called the Zealot, 042 LUK 006 016 and Judas [the son] of James, and Judas Iscariot, which was the traitor; 042 LUK 006 017 and he came down with them, and stood on a level place, and a great multitude of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judaea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; 042 LUK 006 018 and they that were troubled with unclean spirits were healed. 042 LUK 006 019 And all the multitude sought to touch him: for power came forth from 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 reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. 042 LUK 006 023 Rejoice in that day, and leap [for joy]: for behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the same manner did their fathers unto the prophets. 042 LUK 006 024 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. 042 LUK 006 025 Woe unto you, ye that are full now! for ye shall hunger. Woe [unto you], ye that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. 042 LUK 006 026 Woe [unto you], when all men shall speak well of you! for in the same manner did their fathers to the false prophets. 042 LUK 006 027 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you, 042 LUK 006 028 bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you. 042 LUK 006 029 To him that smiteth thee on the [one] cheek offer also the other; and from him that taketh away thy cloke withhold not thy coat also. 042 LUK 006 030 Give to every one that asketh 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 And if ye love them that love you, what thank have ye? for even sinners love those that love them. 042 LUK 006 033 And if ye do good to them that do good to you, what thank have ye? for even sinners do the same. 042 LUK 006 034 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? even sinners lend to sinners, to receive again as much. 042 LUK 006 035 But love your enemies, and do [them] good, and lend, never despairing; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be sons of the Most High: for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil. 042 LUK 006 036 Be ye merciful, even as your Father is merciful. 042 LUK 006 037 And judge not, and ye shall not be judged: and condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: release, and ye shall be released: 042 LUK 006 038 give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give into your bosom. For with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again. 042 LUK 006 039 And he spake also a parable unto them, Can the blind guide the blind? shall they not both fall into a pit? 042 LUK 006 040 The disciple is not above his master: but every one when he is perfected shall be as his master. 042 LUK 006 041 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 042 LUK 006 042 Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me cast out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye. 042 LUK 006 043 For there is no good tree that bringeth forth corrupt fruit; nor again a corrupt tree that bringeth forth good fruit. 042 LUK 006 044 For each tree is known by its own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 042 LUK 006 045 The good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and the evil [man] out of the evil [treasure] bringeth forth that which is evil: for out of 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 Every one that cometh unto me, and heareth my words, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 042 LUK 006 048 he is like a man building a house, who digged and went deep, and laid a foundation upon the rock: and when a flood arose, the stream brake against that house, and could not shake it: because it had been well builded. 042 LUK 006 049 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that built a house upon the earth without a foundation; against which the stream brake, and straightway it fell in; and the ruin of that house was great. 042 LUK 007 001 After he had ended all his sayings in the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum. 042 LUK 007 002 And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick and at the point of death. 042 LUK 007 003 And when he heard concerning Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, asking him that he would come and save his servant. 042 LUK 007 004 And they, when they came to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him: 042 LUK 007 005 for he loveth our nation, and himself built us our synagogue. 042 LUK 007 006 And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: 042 LUK 007 007 wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say the word, and my servant shall be healed. 042 LUK 007 008 For I also am a man set under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this 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 And when Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said unto the multitude that followed him, I say unto 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 whole. 042 LUK 007 011 And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great multitude. 042 LUK 007 012 Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, there was carried out one that was dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her. 042 LUK 007 013 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. 042 LUK 007 014 And he came nigh and touched the bier: and the bearers stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. 042 LUK 007 015 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother. 042 LUK 007 016 And fear took hold on all: and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet is arisen among us: and, God hath visited his people. 042 LUK 007 017 And this report went forth concerning him in the whole of Judaea, and all the region round about. 042 LUK 007 018 And the disciples of John told him of all these things. 042 LUK 007 019 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another? 042 LUK 007 020 And when the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another? 042 LUK 007 021 In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and on many that were blind he bestowed sight. 042 LUK 007 022 And he answered and said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good tidings preached to them. 042 LUK 007 023 And blessed is he, whosoever shall find none occasion of stumbling in me. 042 LUK 007 024 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? 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 which 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 unto you, and much more than a prophet. 042 LUK 007 027 This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way before thee. 042 LUK 007 028 I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there is none greater than John: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of God is greater than he. 042 LUK 007 029 And all the people when they heard, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. 042 LUK 007 030 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected for themselves the counsel of God, being not baptized of him. 042 LUK 007 031 Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation, and to what are they like? 042 LUK 007 032 They are like unto children that sit in the marketplace, and call one to another; which say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not weep. 042 LUK 007 033 For John the Baptist is come eating no bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. 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 publicans and sinners! 042 LUK 007 035 And wisdom is justified of all her children. 042 LUK 007 036 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he entered into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat. 042 LUK 007 037 And behold, a woman which was in the city, a sinner; and when she knew that he was sitting at meat in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster cruse of ointment, 042 LUK 007 038 and standing behind at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. 042 LUK 007 039 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what manner of woman this is which touched him, that she is a sinner. 042 LUK 007 040 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on. 042 LUK 007 041 A certain lender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. 042 LUK 007 042 When they had not [wherewith] to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most? 042 LUK 007 043 Simon answered and said, He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. 042 LUK 007 044 And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath wetted my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair. 042 LUK 007 045 Thou gavest me no kiss: but she, 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 she hath anointed my feet with ointment. 042 LUK 007 047 Wherefore I say unto 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 unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. 042 LUK 007 049 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins? 042 LUK 007 050 And he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace. 042 LUK 008 001 And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good tidings of the kingdom of God, and with him the twelve, 042 LUK 008 002 and certain women which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary that was called Magdalene, from whom seven devils had gone out, 042 LUK 008 003 and Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto them of their substance. 042 LUK 008 004 And when a great multitude came together, and they of every city resorted unto him, he spake by a parable: 042 LUK 008 005 The sower went forth to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden under foot, and the birds of the heaven devoured it. 042 LUK 008 006 And other fell on the rock; and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture. 042 LUK 008 007 And other fell amidst the thorns; and the thorns grew with it, and choked it. 042 LUK 008 008 And other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 042 LUK 008 009 And his disciples asked him what this parable might be. 042 LUK 008 010 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to the rest 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 And those by the way side are they that have heard; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved. 042 LUK 008 013 And those on the rock [are] they which, when they have heard, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. 042 LUK 008 014 And that which fell among the thorns, these are they that have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of [this] life, and bring no fruit to perfection. 042 LUK 008 015 And that in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it fast, and bring forth fruit with patience. 042 LUK 008 016 And no man, when he hath lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but putteth it on a stand, that they which enter in may see the light. 042 LUK 008 017 For nothing is hid, that shall not be made manifest; nor [anything] secret, that shall not be known and come to light. 042 LUK 008 018 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he thinketh he hath. 042 LUK 008 019 And there came to him his mother and brethren, and they could not come at him for the crowd. 042 LUK 008 020 And it was told him, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. 042 LUK 008 021 But he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it. 042 LUK 008 022 Now it came to pass on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples; and he said unto them, Let us go over unto 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 filling [with water], and were in jeopardy. 042 LUK 008 024 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. And he awoke, 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 unto them, Where is your faith? And being afraid they marveled, saying one to another, Who then is this, that he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey him? 042 LUK 008 026 And they arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is over against Galilee. 042 LUK 008 027 And when he was come forth upon the land, there met him a certain man out of the city, who had devils; and for a long time he had worn no clothes, and abode not in [any] house, but in the tombs. 042 LUK 008 028 And 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 the Most High God? I beseech thee, torment me not. 042 LUK 008 029 For he commanded the unclean spirit to come out from the man. For oftentimes it had seized him: and he was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters; and breaking the bands asunder, he was driven of the devil into the deserts. 042 LUK 008 030 And Jesus asked him, What is thy name? And he said, Legion; for many devils were entered into him. 042 LUK 008 031 And they entreated him that he would not command them to depart into the abyss. (Abyssos g12) 042 LUK 008 032 Now there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they entreated him that he would give them leave to enter into them. And he gave them leave. 042 LUK 008 033 And the devils came out from the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were choked. 042 LUK 008 034 And when they that fed them saw what had come to pass, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country. 042 LUK 008 035 And they went out to see what had come to pass; and they came to Jesus, and found the man, from whom the devils were gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus: and they were afraid. 042 LUK 008 036 And they that saw it told them how he that was possessed with devils was made whole. 042 LUK 008 037 And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes round about asked him to depart from them; for they were holden with great fear: and he entered into a boat, and returned. 042 LUK 008 038 But the man from whom the devils were gone out prayed him that he might be with him: but he sent him away, saying, 042 LUK 008 039 Return to thy house, and declare how great things God hath done for thee. And he went his way, publishing throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done for him. 042 LUK 008 040 And as Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed 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 Jesus’ feet, and besought him to come into his house; 042 LUK 008 042 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the multitudes thronged him. 042 LUK 008 043 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be healed of any, 042 LUK 008 044 came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately the issue of her blood stanched. 042 LUK 008 045 And Jesus said, Who is it that touched me? And when all denied, Peter said, and they that were with him, Master, the multitudes press thee and crush [thee]. 042 LUK 008 046 But Jesus said, Some one did touch me: for I perceived that power had gone forth from me. 042 LUK 008 047 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people for what cause she touched him, and how she was healed immediately. 042 LUK 008 048 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. 042 LUK 008 049 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue’s [house], saying, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. 042 LUK 008 050 But Jesus hearing it, answered him, Fear not: only believe, and she shall be made whole. 042 LUK 008 051 And when he came to the house, he suffered not any man to enter in with him, save Peter, and John, and James, and the father of the maiden and her mother. 042 LUK 008 052 And all were weeping, and bewailing her: but he said, Weep not; for she is not dead, but sleepeth. 042 LUK 008 053 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. 042 LUK 008 054 But he, taking her by the hand, called, saying, Maiden, arise. 042 LUK 008 055 And her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately: and he commanded that [something] be given her to eat. 042 LUK 008 056 And her parents were amazed: but he charged them to tell no man what had been done. 042 LUK 009 001 And he called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. 042 LUK 009 002 And he sent them forth to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. 042 LUK 009 003 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats. 042 LUK 009 004 And into whatsoever house ye enter, there abide, and thence depart. 042 LUK 009 005 And as many as receive you not, when ye depart from that city, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them. 042 LUK 009 006 And they departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere. 042 LUK 009 007 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done: and he was much perplexed, because that it was said by some, that John was risen from the dead; 042 LUK 009 008 and by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again. 042 LUK 009 009 And Herod said, John I beheaded: but who is this, about whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him. 042 LUK 009 010 And the apostles, when they were returned, declared unto him what things they had done. And he took them, and withdrew apart to a city called Bethsaida. 042 LUK 009 011 But the multitudes perceiving it followed him: and he welcomed them, and spake to them of the kingdom of God, and them that had need of healing he healed. 042 LUK 009 012 And the day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place. 042 LUK 009 013 But he said unto 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 unto his disciples, Make them sit down in companies, about fifty each. 042 LUK 009 015 And they did so, and made them all sit down. 042 LUK 009 016 And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake; and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. 042 LUK 009 017 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up that which remained over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets. 042 LUK 009 018 And it came to pass, as he was praying alone, the disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Who do the multitudes say that I am? 042 LUK 009 019 And they answering said, John the Baptist; but others [say], Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again. 042 LUK 009 020 And he said unto them, But who say ye that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God. 042 LUK 009 021 But he charged them, and commanded [them] to tell this to no man; 042 LUK 009 022 saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up. 042 LUK 009 023 And he said unto all, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 042 LUK 009 024 For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 042 LUK 009 025 For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose or forfeit his own self? 042 LUK 009 026 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in his own glory, and [the glory] of the Father, and of the holy angels. 042 LUK 009 027 But I tell you of a truth, There be some of them that stand here, which shall in no wise taste of 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 with him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray. 042 LUK 009 029 And as he was praying, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment [became] white [and] dazzling. 042 LUK 009 030 And behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elijah; 042 LUK 009 031 who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. 042 LUK 009 032 Now Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him. 042 LUK 009 033 And it came to pass, as they were parting from him, Peter said unto 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 And while he said these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud. 042 LUK 009 035 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my Son, my chosen: hear ye him. 042 LUK 009 036 And when the voice came, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no man in those days any of the things which they had seen. 042 LUK 009 037 And it came to pass, on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him. 042 LUK 009 038 And behold, a man from the multitude cried, saying, Master, I beseech thee to look upon my son; for he is mine only child: 042 LUK 009 039 and behold, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising him sorely. 042 LUK 009 040 And I besought thy disciples to cast it out; and they could not. 042 LUK 009 041 And Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? bring hither thy son. 042 LUK 009 042 And as he was yet a coming, the devil dashed him down, and tare [him] grievously. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father. 042 LUK 009 043 And they were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which he did, he said unto his disciples, 042 LUK 009 044 Let these words sink into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men. 042 LUK 009 045 But they understood not this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it: and they were afraid to ask him about this saying. 042 LUK 009 046 And there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest. 042 LUK 009 047 But when Jesus saw the reasoning of their heart, he took a little child, and set him by his side, 042 LUK 009 048 and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same is great. 042 LUK 009 049 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us. 042 LUK 009 050 But Jesus said unto him, Forbid [him] not: for he that is not against you is for you. 042 LUK 009 051 And it came to pass, when the days were well-nigh come that he should be received up, he stedfastly 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 were] going to Jerusalem. 042 LUK 009 054 And when his disciples James and John saw [this], they said, Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire to come down from heaven, and consume them? 042 LUK 009 055 But he turned, and rebuked them. 042 LUK 009 056 And they went to another village. 042 LUK 009 057 And as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 042 LUK 009 058 And Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 042 LUK 009 059 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 042 LUK 009 060 But he said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but go thou and publish abroad the kingdom of God. 042 LUK 009 061 And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first suffer me to bid farewell to them that are at my house. 042 LUK 009 062 But Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. 042 LUK 010 001 Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself was about to come. 042 LUK 010 002 And he said unto them, The harvest is plenteous, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest. 042 LUK 010 003 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves. 042 LUK 010 004 Carry no purse, no wallet, no shoes: and salute no man on the way. 042 LUK 010 005 And into whatsoever house ye shall enter, first say, Peace [be] to this house. 042 LUK 010 006 And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him: but if not, it shall turn to you again. 042 LUK 010 007 And in that 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 whatsoever 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 therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. 042 LUK 010 010 But into whatsoever city ye shall enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets thereof and say, 042 LUK 010 011 Even the dust from your city, that cleaveth to our feet, we do wipe off against you: howbeit know this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh. 042 LUK 010 012 I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. 042 LUK 010 013 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 042 LUK 010 014 Howbeit it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment, than for you. 042 LUK 010 015 And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted unto heaven? thou shalt be brought down unto Hades. (Hadēs g86) 042 LUK 010 016 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that rejecteth you rejecteth me; and he that rejecteth me rejecteth him that sent me. 042 LUK 010 017 And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us in thy name. 042 LUK 010 018 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from heaven. 042 LUK 010 019 Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you. 042 LUK 010 020 Howbeit in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven. 042 LUK 010 021 In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes: yea, Father; for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight. 042 LUK 010 022 All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knoweth who the Son is, save the Father; and who the Father is, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal [him]. 042 LUK 010 023 And turning to the disciples, he said privately, Blessed [are] the eyes which see the things that ye see: 042 LUK 010 024 for I say unto you, that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not. 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 And he said unto 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 unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 042 LUK 010 029 But he, desiring to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? 042 LUK 010 030 Jesus made answer and said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho; and he fell among robbers, which both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 042 LUK 010 031 And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 042 LUK 010 032 And in like manner a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, 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 was moved with compassion, 042 LUK 010 034 and came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on [them] oil and wine; and he set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 042 LUK 010 035 And on the morrow he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, I, when I come back again, will repay thee. 042 LUK 010 036 Which of these three, thinkest thou, proved neighbour unto him that fell among the robbers? 042 LUK 010 037 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. And Jesus said unto him, Go, and do thou likewise. 042 LUK 010 038 Now as they went on their way, 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, which also sat at the Lord’s feet, and heard his word. 042 LUK 010 040 But Martha was cumbered about much serving; and she came up to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister did leave me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. 042 LUK 010 041 But the Lord answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things: 042 LUK 010 042 but one thing is needful: for Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her. 042 LUK 011 001 And it came to pass, as he was praying in a certain place, that when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples. 042 LUK 011 002 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Father, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. 042 LUK 011 003 Give us day by day our daily bread. 042 LUK 011 004 And forgive us our sins; for we ourselves also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And bring us not into temptation. 042 LUK 011 005 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves; 042 LUK 011 006 for a friend of mine is come to me from a journey, 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 unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will arise and give him as many as he needeth. 042 LUK 011 009 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto 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 And of which of you that is a father shall his son ask a loaf, and he give him a stone? or a fish, and he for a fish give him a serpent? 042 LUK 011 012 Or [if] he shall ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion? 042 LUK 011 013 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto 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 devil [which was] dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb man spake; and the multitudes marveled. 042 LUK 011 015 But some of them said, By Beelzebub the prince of the devils casteth he out devils. 042 LUK 011 016 And others, tempting [him], sought of him a sign from heaven. 042 LUK 011 017 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house [divided] against a house falleth. 042 LUK 011 018 And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils by Beelzebub. 042 LUK 011 019 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. 042 LUK 011 020 But if I by the finger of God cast out devils, then is the kingdom of God come upon you. 042 LUK 011 021 When the strong [man] fully armed guardeth his own court, 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 his whole armour wherein 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 The unclean spirit when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will turn back unto my house whence I came out. 042 LUK 011 025 And when he is come, he findeth it swept and garnished. 042 LUK 011 026 Then goeth he, and taketh [to him] seven other spirits more evil than himself; and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. 042 LUK 011 027 And it came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the breasts which thou didst suck. 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 multitudes were gathering together unto him, he began to say, This generation is an evil generation: it seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah. 042 LUK 011 030 For even as Jonah became a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also 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 shall condemn them: for she came from the ends 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 stand 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 cellar, neither under the bushel, but on the stand, that they which enter in may see the light. 042 LUK 011 034 The lamp of thy body is thine eye: when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when it is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. 042 LUK 011 035 Look therefore whether the light that is in thee be not darkness. 042 LUK 011 036 If therefore thy whole body be full of light, having no part dark, it shall be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining doth give thee light. 042 LUK 011 037 Now as he spake, a Pharisee asketh him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat. 042 LUK 011 038 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed before dinner. 042 LUK 011 039 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter; but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness. 042 LUK 011 040 Ye foolish ones, did not he that made the outside make the inside also? 042 LUK 011 041 Howbeit give for alms those things which are within; and behold, all things are clean unto you. 042 LUK 011 042 But woe unto you Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass over judgment and the love of God: but these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 042 LUK 011 043 Woe unto you Pharisees! for ye love the chief seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the marketplaces. 042 LUK 011 044 Woe unto you! for ye are as the tombs which appear not, and the men that walk over [them] know it not. 042 LUK 011 045 And one of the lawyers answering saith unto him, Master, in saying this thou reproachest us also. 042 LUK 011 046 And he said, Woe unto you lawyers also! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. 042 LUK 011 047 Woe unto you! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 042 LUK 011 048 So ye are witnesses and consent unto the works of your fathers: for they killed them, and ye build [their tombs]. 042 LUK 011 049 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send unto them prophets and apostles; and [some] of them they shall kill 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 unto the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary: yea, I say unto you, it shall be required of this generation. 042 LUK 011 052 Woe unto you lawyers! for ye took away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. 042 LUK 011 053 And when he was come out from thence, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press upon [him] vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things; 042 LUK 011 054 laying wait for him, to catch something out of his mouth. 042 LUK 012 001 In the mean time, when the many thousands of the multitude were gathered together, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 042 LUK 012 002 But there is nothing covered up, that shall not be revealed: and hid, that shall not be known. 042 LUK 012 003 Wherefore whatsoever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and what ye have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. 042 LUK 012 004 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them which kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 042 LUK 012 005 But I will warn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067) 042 LUK 012 006 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings? and not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God. 042 LUK 012 007 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not: ye are of more value than many sparrows. 042 LUK 012 008 And I say unto you, Every one who 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 in the presence of men shall be denied in the presence of the angels of God. 042 LUK 012 010 And every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven. 042 LUK 012 011 And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: 042 LUK 012 012 for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that very hour what ye ought to say. 042 LUK 012 013 And one out of the multitude said unto him, Master, bid my brother divide the inheritance with me. 042 LUK 012 014 But he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 042 LUK 012 015 And he said unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 042 LUK 012 016 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 042 LUK 012 017 and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where to bestow 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 bestow all my corn and my goods. 042 LUK 012 019 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry. 042 LUK 012 020 But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be? 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 unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for [your] life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. 042 LUK 012 023 For the life is more than the food, and the body than the raiment. 042 LUK 012 024 Consider the ravens, that they sow not, neither reap; which have no store-chamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more value are ye than the birds! 042 LUK 012 025 And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit unto his stature? 042 LUK 012 026 If then ye are not able to do even that which is least, why are ye anxious concerning the rest? 042 LUK 012 027 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin; yet I say unto you, Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 042 LUK 012 028 But if God doth so clothe the grass in the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more [shall he clothe] you, O ye of little faith? 042 LUK 012 029 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, and 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: but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. 042 LUK 012 031 Howbeit seek ye his kingdom, and these things shall be added unto 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 that ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief draweth near, neither moth destroyeth. 042 LUK 012 034 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 042 LUK 012 035 Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning; 042 LUK 012 036 and be ye yourselves like unto men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway open unto him. 042 LUK 012 037 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and shall come and serve them. 042 LUK 012 038 And if he shall come in the second watch, and if in the third, and find [them] so, blessed are those [servants]. 042 LUK 012 039 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have left his house to be broken through. 042 LUK 012 040 Be ye also ready: for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh. 042 LUK 012 041 And Peter said, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even unto all? 042 LUK 012 042 And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall set 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 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will set him 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 menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; 042 LUK 012 046 the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the unfaithful. 042 LUK 012 047 And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many [stripes]; 042 LUK 012 048 but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom they commit much, of him will they ask the more. 042 LUK 012 049 I came to cast fire upon 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 straitened till it be accomplished! 042 LUK 012 051 Think ye that I am come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: 042 LUK 012 052 for there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. 042 LUK 012 053 They shall be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother in law against her daughter in law, and daughter in law against her mother in law. 042 LUK 012 054 And he said to the multitudes also, When ye see a cloud rising in the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it cometh to pass. 042 LUK 012 055 And when [ye see] a south wind blowing, ye say, There will be a scorching heat; and it cometh to pass. 042 LUK 012 056 Ye hypocrites, ye know how to interpret the face of the earth and the heaven; but how is it that ye know not how to interpret this time? 042 LUK 012 057 And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? 042 LUK 012 058 For as thou art going with thine adversary before the magistrate, on the way give diligence to be quit of him; lest haply he hale thee unto the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer shall cast thee into prison. 042 LUK 012 059 I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the very last mite. 042 LUK 013 001 Now there were some present at that very season which told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 042 LUK 013 002 And he answered and said unto them, Think ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they have suffered these things? 042 LUK 013 003 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all in like manner perish. 042 LUK 013 004 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think ye that they were offenders above all the men that dwell in Jerusalem? 042 LUK 013 005 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 042 LUK 013 006 And he spake this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit thereon, and found none. 042 LUK 013 007 And he said unto the vinedresser, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why doth it also cumber the ground? 042 LUK 013 008 And he answering saith unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: 042 LUK 013 009 and if it bear fruit thenceforth, [well]; but if not, thou shalt cut it down. 042 LUK 013 010 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath day. 042 LUK 013 011 And behold, a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years; and she was bowed together, and could in no wise lift herself up. 042 LUK 013 012 And when Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. 042 LUK 013 013 And he laid his hands upon her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. 042 LUK 013 014 And the ruler of the synagogue, being moved with indignation because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, answered and said to the multitude, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the day of the sabbath. 042 LUK 013 015 But the Lord answered him, and said, Ye hypocrites, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass 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 had bound, lo, [these] eighteen years, to have been loosed from this bond on the day of the sabbath? 042 LUK 013 017 And as he said these things, all his adversaries were put to shame: and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him. 042 LUK 013 018 He said therefore, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I liken it? 042 LUK 013 019 It is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his own garden; and it grew, and became a tree; and the birds of the heaven lodged in the branches thereof. 042 LUK 013 020 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? 042 LUK 013 021 It is like unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened. 042 LUK 013 022 And he went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and journeying on unto Jerusalem. 042 LUK 013 023 And one said unto him, Lord, are they few that be saved? And he said unto them, 042 LUK 013 024 Strive to enter in by the narrow door: for many, I say unto you, shall seek to enter in, and shall not be able. 042 LUK 013 025 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and he shall answer and say to you, I know you not whence ye are; 042 LUK 013 026 then shall ye begin to say, We did eat and drink in thy presence, and thou didst teach in our streets; 042 LUK 013 027 and he shall say, I tell you, I know not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. 042 LUK 013 028 There shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and yourselves cast forth without. 042 LUK 013 029 And they shall come from the east and west, and from the north and south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. 042 LUK 013 030 And behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last. 042 LUK 013 031 In that very hour there came certain Pharisees, saying to him, Get thee out, and go hence: for Herod would fain kill thee. 042 LUK 013 032 And he said unto them, Go and say to that fox, Behold, I cast out devils and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third [day] I am perfected. 042 LUK 013 033 Howbeit I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the [day] following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. 042 LUK 013 034 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen [gathereth] her own brood under her wings, and ye would not! 042 LUK 013 035 Behold, your house is left unto you [desolate]: and I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord. 042 LUK 014 001 And it came to pass, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him. 042 LUK 014 002 And behold, there was before him a certain man which had the dropsy. 042 LUK 014 003 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not? 042 LUK 014 004 But they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go. 042 LUK 014 005 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a well, and will not straightway draw him up on a sabbath day? 042 LUK 014 006 And they could not answer again unto these things. 042 LUK 014 007 And he spake a parable unto those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief seats; saying unto them, 042 LUK 014 008 When thou art bidden of any man to a marriage feast, sit not down in the chief seat; lest haply a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him, 042 LUK 014 009 and he that bade thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and then thou shalt begin with shame to take the lowest place. 042 LUK 014 010 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that hath bidden thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have glory in the presence of all that sit at meat with thee. 042 LUK 014 011 For every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. 042 LUK 014 012 And he said to him also that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbours; lest haply they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee. 042 LUK 014 013 But when thou makest a feast, bid the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: 042 LUK 014 014 and thou shalt be blessed; because they have not [wherewith] to recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed in the resurrection of the just. 042 LUK 014 015 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. 042 LUK 014 016 But he said unto him, A certain man made a great supper; and he bade many: 042 LUK 014 017 and he sent forth his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for [all] things are now ready. 042 LUK 014 018 And they all with one [consent] began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a field, and I must needs go out 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 prove them: 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 And the servant came, and told 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 hither the poor and maimed and blind and lame. 042 LUK 014 022 And the servant said, Lord, what thou didst command is done, and yet there is room. 042 LUK 014 023 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and constrain [them] to come in, that my house may be filled. 042 LUK 014 024 For I say unto you, that none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper. 042 LUK 014 025 Now there went with him great multitudes: and he turned, and said unto them, 042 LUK 014 026 If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his own 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 Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 042 LUK 014 028 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have [wherewith] to complete it? 042 LUK 014 029 Lest haply, when he hath laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all that behold 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, as he goeth to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel 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 an ambassage, and asketh conditions of peace. 042 LUK 014 033 So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. 042 LUK 014 034 Salt therefore is good: but if even the salt have lost its savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? 042 LUK 014 035 It is fit neither for the land nor for the dunghill: [men] cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 042 LUK 015 001 Now all the publicans and sinners were drawing near unto him for to hear him. 042 LUK 015 002 And both the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. 042 LUK 015 003 And he spake unto them this parable, saying, 042 LUK 015 004 What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find 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 his neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost. 042 LUK 015 007 I say unto you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, [more] than over ninety and nine righteous persons, which need no repentance. 042 LUK 015 008 Or what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she find it? 042 LUK 015 009 And when she hath found it, she calleth together her friends and neighbours, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I had lost. 042 LUK 015 010 Even so, I say unto 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 [thy] substance that falleth to me. And he divided unto 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 he wasted his substance with riotous living. 042 LUK 015 014 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want. 042 LUK 015 015 And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 042 LUK 015 016 And he would fain have been filled with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 042 LUK 015 017 But when he came to himself he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish here with hunger! 042 LUK 015 018 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: 042 LUK 015 019 I 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 while he was yet afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 042 LUK 015 021 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: I am no more worthy to be called thy son. 042 LUK 015 022 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth quickly 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 the fatted calf, [and] kill it, and let us eat, and make 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 nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing. 042 LUK 015 026 And he called to him one of the servants, and inquired what these things might be. 042 LUK 015 027 And he said unto 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 But he was angry, and would not go in: and his father came out, and entreated him. 042 LUK 015 029 But he answered and said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, and I never transgressed a commandment of thine: and [yet] thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: 042 LUK 015 030 but when this thy son came, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou killedst for him the fatted calf. 042 LUK 015 031 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine. 042 LUK 015 032 But it was meet to 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 unto the disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he was wasting his goods. 042 LUK 016 002 And he called him, and said unto him, What is this that I hear of thee? render the account of thy stewardship; for thou canst be no longer steward. 042 LUK 016 003 And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, seeing that my lord taketh away the stewardship from me? I have not strength to dig; to beg I am ashamed. 042 LUK 016 004 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. 042 LUK 016 005 And calling to him each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou unto my lord? 042 LUK 016 006 And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bond, and sit down quickly and write fifty. 042 LUK 016 007 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He saith unto him, Take thy bond, and write fourscore. 042 LUK 016 008 And his lord commended the unrighteous steward because he had done wisely: for the sons of this world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of the light. (aiōn g165) 042 LUK 016 009 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends by means of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when it shall fail, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles. (aiōnios g166) 042 LUK 016 010 He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much: and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much. 042 LUK 016 011 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, 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’s, who will 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 one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 042 LUK 016 014 And the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things; and they scoffed at him. 042 LUK 016 015 And he said unto them, Ye are they that justify yourselves in the sight of men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God. 042 LUK 016 016 The law and the prophets [were] until John: from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man entereth violently into it. 042 LUK 016 017 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall. 042 LUK 016 018 Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth one that is put away from a husband committeth adultery. 042 LUK 016 019 Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day: 042 LUK 016 020 and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores, 042 LUK 016 021 and desiring to be fed with the [crumbs] that fell from the rich man’s table; yea, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 042 LUK 016 022 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: and the rich man also died, and was buried. 042 LUK 016 023 And in Hades 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 in anguish in this flame. 042 LUK 016 025 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted, and thou art in anguish. 042 LUK 016 026 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that they which would pass from hence to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from thence to us. 042 LUK 016 027 And 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 unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 042 LUK 016 029 But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 042 LUK 016 030 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one go to them from the dead, they will repent. 042 LUK 016 031 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rise from the dead. 042 LUK 017 001 And he said unto his disciples, It is impossible but that occasions of stumbling should come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! 042 LUK 017 002 It were well for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble. 042 LUK 017 003 Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. 042 LUK 017 004 And if he sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. 042 LUK 017 005 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. 042 LUK 017 006 And the Lord said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye would say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea; and it would have obeyed you. 042 LUK 017 007 But who is there of you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say unto him, when he is come in from the field, Come straightway and sit down to meat; 042 LUK 017 008 and will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? 042 LUK 017 009 Doth he thank the servant because he did the things that were commanded? 042 LUK 017 010 Even so ye also, when ye shall have done all the things that are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which it was our duty to do. 042 LUK 017 011 And it came to pass, as they were on the way to Jerusalem, that he was passing 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, which stood afar off: 042 LUK 017 013 and they lifted up their voices, saying, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 042 LUK 017 014 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go and shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were cleansed. 042 LUK 017 015 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, with a loud voice glorifying God; 042 LUK 017 016 and he fell upon his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. 042 LUK 017 017 And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but where are the nine? 042 LUK 017 018 Were there none found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger? 042 LUK 017 019 And he said unto him, Arise, and go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. 042 LUK 017 020 And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God cometh, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 042 LUK 017 021 neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is within you. 042 LUK 017 022 And he said unto the 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, Lo, there! Lo, here! go not away, nor follow after [them]: 042 LUK 017 024 for as the lightning, when it lighteneth out of the one part under the heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall the Son of man be in his day. 042 LUK 017 025 But first must he suffer many things and be rejected of this generation. 042 LUK 017 026 And as it came to pass in the days of Noah, even so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 042 LUK 017 027 They ate, they drank, they married, 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 even as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 042 LUK 017 029 but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all: 042 LUK 017 030 after the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed. 042 LUK 017 031 In that day, he which shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and let him that is in the field likewise not return back. 042 LUK 017 032 Remember Lot’s wife. 042 LUK 017 033 Whosoever shall seek to gain his life shall lose it: but whosoever shall lose [his life] shall preserve it. 042 LUK 017 034 I say unto you, In that night there shall be two men on one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. 042 LUK 017 035 There shall be two women grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. 042 LUK 017 037 And they answering say unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Where the body [is], thither will the eagles also be gathered together. 042 LUK 018 001 And he spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint; 042 LUK 018 002 saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, and regarded not man: 042 LUK 018 003 and there was a widow in that city; and she came oft unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine 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 she wear me out by her continual coming. 042 LUK 018 006 And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge saith. 042 LUK 018 007 And shall not God avenge his elect, which cry to him day and night, and he is longsuffering over them? 042 LUK 018 008 I say unto you, that he will avenge them speedily. Howbeit when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? 042 LUK 018 009 And he spake also this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and set all others at nought: 042 LUK 018 010 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 042 LUK 018 011 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 042 LUK 018 012 I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I get. 042 LUK 018 013 But the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote his breast, saying, God, be merciful to me a sinner. 042 LUK 018 014 I say unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. 042 LUK 018 015 And they brought unto him also their babes, that he should touch them: but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. 042 LUK 018 016 But Jesus called them unto him, saying, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. 042 LUK 018 017 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein. 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 unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, [even] 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 mother. 042 LUK 018 021 And he said, All these things have I observed from my youth up. 042 LUK 018 022 And when Jesus heard it, he said unto him, One thing thou lackest yet: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. 042 LUK 018 023 But when he heard these things, he became exceeding sorrowful; for he was very rich. 042 LUK 018 024 And Jesus seeing him said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! 042 LUK 018 025 For it is easier for a camel to enter in 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, Then who 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 And Peter said, Lo, we have left our own, and followed thee. 042 LUK 018 029 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake, 042 LUK 018 030 who shall not receive manifold more in this time, and in the world to come eternal life. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166) 042 LUK 018 031 And he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written by the prophets shall be accomplished unto the Son of man. 042 LUK 018 032 For he shall be delivered up unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and shamefully entreated, and spit upon: 042 LUK 018 033 and they shall scourge and kill him: 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, and they perceived not the things that were said. 042 LUK 018 035 And it came to pass, as he drew nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging: 042 LUK 018 036 and hearing a multitude going by, he inquired what this meant. 042 LUK 018 037 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. 042 LUK 018 038 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. 042 LUK 018 039 And they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. 042 LUK 018 040 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, 042 LUK 018 041 What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. 042 LUK 018 042 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole. 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 unto God. 042 LUK 019 001 And he entered and was passing through Jericho. 042 LUK 019 002 And behold, a man called by name Zacchaeus; and he was a chief publican, 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 on before, and climbed up into a sycomore 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 said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for today 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, He is gone in to lodge with a man that is a sinner. 042 LUK 019 008 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wrongfully exacted aught of any man, I restore fourfold. 042 LUK 019 009 And Jesus said unto him, Today is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham. 042 LUK 019 010 For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost. 042 LUK 019 011 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and [because] they supposed that the kingdom of God was immediately to 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 ten servants of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said unto them, Trade ye [herewith] till I come. 042 LUK 019 014 But his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not that this man reign over us. 042 LUK 019 015 And it came to pass, when he was come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, unto whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading. 042 LUK 019 016 And the first came before him, saying, Lord, thy pound hath made ten pounds more. 042 LUK 019 017 And he said unto him, Well done, thou good servant: because thou wast found faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. 042 LUK 019 018 And the second came, saying, Thy pound, Lord, hath made five pounds. 042 LUK 019 019 And he said unto him also, Be thou also over five cities. 042 LUK 019 020 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, [here is] thy pound, which I kept laid up in a napkin: 042 LUK 019 021 for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. 042 LUK 019 022 He saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow; 042 LUK 019 023 then wherefore gavest thou not my money into the bank, and I at my coming should have required it with interest? 042 LUK 019 024 And he said unto them that stood by, Take away from him the pound, and give it unto him that hath the ten pounds. 042 LUK 019 025 And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds. 042 LUK 019 026 I say unto you, that unto every one that hath shall be given; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him. 042 LUK 019 027 Howbeit these mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. 042 LUK 019 028 And when he had thus spoken, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem. 042 LUK 019 029 And it came to pass, when he drew nigh unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called [the mount] of Olives, he sent two of the disciples, 042 LUK 019 030 saying, Go your way into the village over against [you]; in the which as ye enter ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat: loose him, and bring him. 042 LUK 019 031 And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say, The Lord hath need of him. 042 LUK 019 032 And they that were sent went away, and found even as he had said unto them. 042 LUK 019 033 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto 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 threw their garments upon the colt, and set Jesus thereon. 042 LUK 019 036 And as he went, they spread their garments in the way. 042 LUK 019 037 And as he was now drawing nigh, [even] 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 which they had seen; 042 LUK 019 038 saying, Blessed [is] 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 the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. 042 LUK 019 040 And he answered and said, I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out. 042 LUK 019 041 And when he drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over it, 042 LUK 019 042 saying, If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 042 LUK 019 043 For the days shall come upon thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, 042 LUK 019 044 and shall dash thee to 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 entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold, 042 LUK 019 046 saying unto them, It is written, And my house shall be a house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of robbers. 042 LUK 019 047 And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him: 042 LUK 019 048 and they could not find what they might do; for the people all hung upon him, listening. 042 LUK 020 001 And it came to pass, on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, there came upon him the chief priests and the scribes with the elders; 042 LUK 020 002 and they spake, saying unto him, 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 unto them, I also will ask you a question; and tell 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 did ye not believe him? 042 LUK 020 006 But if we shall say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet. 042 LUK 020 007 And they answered, that they knew not whence [it was]. 042 LUK 020 008 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. 042 LUK 020 009 And he began to speak unto the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country for a long time. 042 LUK 020 010 And at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty. 042 LUK 020 011 And he sent yet another servant: and him also they beat, and handled him shamefully, and sent him away empty. 042 LUK 020 012 And he sent yet a third: and him also they wounded, and cast him forth. 042 LUK 020 013 And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him. 042 LUK 020 014 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned one with another, saying, This is the heir: let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. 042 LUK 020 015 And they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto them? 042 LUK 020 016 He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid. 042 LUK 020 017 But he looked upon them, and said, What then is this that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner? 042 LUK 020 018 Every one that falleth on that stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust. 042 LUK 020 019 And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that very hour; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he spake this parable against them. 042 LUK 020 020 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which feigned themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor. 042 LUK 020 021 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person [of any], but of a truth teachest the way of God: 042 LUK 020 022 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? 042 LUK 020 023 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, 042 LUK 020 024 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? And they said, Caesar’s. 042 LUK 020 025 And he said unto them, Then render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s. 042 LUK 020 026 And they were not able to take hold of the saying before the people: and they marveled at his answer, and held their peace. 042 LUK 020 027 And there came to him certain of the Sadducees, they which say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, 042 LUK 020 028 saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, that if a man’s brother die, having a wife, and he be childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 042 LUK 020 029 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died childless; 042 LUK 020 030 and the second; 042 LUK 020 031 and the third took her; and likewise the seven also left no children, and died. 042 LUK 020 032 Afterward the woman also died. 042 LUK 020 033 In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven had her to wife. 042 LUK 020 034 And Jesus said unto them, The sons of this world marry, and are given in marriage: (aiōn g165) 042 LUK 020 035 but they that are accounted worthy to attain to that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: (aiōn g165) 042 LUK 020 036 for neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. 042 LUK 020 037 But that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed, in [the place concerning] 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 Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him. 042 LUK 020 039 And certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said. 042 LUK 020 040 For they durst not any more ask him any question. 042 LUK 020 041 And he said unto them, How say they that the Christ is David’s son? 042 LUK 020 042 For David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 042 LUK 020 043 Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet. 042 LUK 020 044 David therefore calleth him Lord, and how is he his son? 042 LUK 020 045 And in the hearing of all the people he said unto his disciples, 042 LUK 020 046 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts; 042 LUK 020 047 which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater condemnation. 042 LUK 021 001 And he looked up, and saw the rich men that were casting their gifts into the treasury. 042 LUK 021 002 And he saw a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. 042 LUK 021 003 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than they all: 042 LUK 021 004 for all these did of their superfluity cast in unto the gifts: but she of her want did cast in all the living that she had. 042 LUK 021 005 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and offerings, he said, 042 LUK 021 006 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 042 LUK 021 007 And they asked him, saying, Master, when therefore shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign when these things are about to come to pass? 042 LUK 021 008 And he said, Take heed that ye be not led astray: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [he]; and, The time is at hand: go ye not after them. 042 LUK 021 009 And when ye shall hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified: for these things must needs come to pass first; but the end is not immediately. 042 LUK 021 010 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: 042 LUK 021 011 and there shall be great earthquakes, and in divers places famines and pestilences; and there shall be terrors and great signs from heaven. 042 LUK 021 012 But before all these things, they shall lay their hands on you, and shall persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake. 042 LUK 021 013 It shall turn unto you for a testimony. 042 LUK 021 014 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate beforehand how to answer: 042 LUK 021 015 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to withstand or to gainsay. 042 LUK 021 016 But ye shall be delivered up even by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and [some] of you shall they cause to be put to death. 042 LUK 021 017 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake. 042 LUK 021 018 And not a hair of your head shall perish. 042 LUK 021 019 In your patience ye shall win your souls. 042 LUK 021 020 But when ye see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that her desolation is at hand. 042 LUK 021 021 Then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains; and let them that are in the midst of her depart out; and let not them that are in the country enter therein. 042 LUK 021 022 For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 042 LUK 021 023 Woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath unto this people. 042 LUK 021 024 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led captive into all the nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. 042 LUK 021 025 And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the billows; 042 LUK 021 026 men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens 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 But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; because your redemption draweth nigh. 042 LUK 021 029 And he spake to them a parable: Behold the fig tree, and all the trees: 042 LUK 021 030 when they now shoot forth, ye see it and know of your own selves that the summer is now nigh. 042 LUK 021 031 Even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh. 042 LUK 021 032 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all things be accomplished. 042 LUK 021 033 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 042 LUK 021 034 But take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you suddenly as a snare: 042 LUK 021 035 for [so] shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of all the earth. 042 LUK 021 036 But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. 042 LUK 021 037 And every day he was teaching in the temple; and every night he went out, and lodged 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 nigh, which is called the Passover. 042 LUK 022 002 And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death; for they feared the people. 042 LUK 022 003 And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. 042 LUK 022 004 And he went away, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver him unto them. 042 LUK 022 005 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. 042 LUK 022 006 And he consented, and sought opportunity to deliver him unto them in the absence of the multitude. 042 LUK 022 007 And the day of unleavened bread came, on which the passover must be sacrificed. 042 LUK 022 008 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make ready for us the passover, that we may eat. 042 LUK 022 009 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we make ready? 042 LUK 022 010 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house whereinto he goeth. 042 LUK 022 011 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? 042 LUK 022 012 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. 042 LUK 022 013 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. 042 LUK 022 014 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the apostles with him. 042 LUK 022 015 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 042 LUK 022 016 for I say unto you, I will not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 042 LUK 022 017 And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 042 LUK 022 018 for I say unto you, I will not drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. 042 LUK 022 019 And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake 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 And the cup in like manner after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, [even] that which is poured out 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 For the Son of man indeed goeth, as it hath been determined: but woe unto that man through whom he is betrayed! 042 LUK 022 023 And they began to question among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing. 042 LUK 022 024 And there arose also a contention among them, which of them is accounted to be greatest. 042 LUK 022 025 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them; and they that have authority over them are called Benefactors. 042 LUK 022 026 But ye [shall] not [be] so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. 042 LUK 022 027 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am in the midst of you as he that serveth. 042 LUK 022 028 But ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations; 042 LUK 022 029 and I appoint unto you a kingdom, even as my Father appointed unto me, 042 LUK 022 030 that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and ye shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 042 LUK 022 031 Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat: 042 LUK 022 032 but I made supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not: and do thou, when once thou hast turned again, stablish thy brethren. 042 LUK 022 033 And he said unto him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death. 042 LUK 022 034 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, until thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. 042 LUK 022 035 And he said unto them, When I sent you forth without purse, and wallet, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. 042 LUK 022 036 And he said unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet: and he that hath none, let him sell his cloke, and buy a sword. 042 LUK 022 037 For I say unto you, that this which is written must be fulfilled in me, And he was reckoned with transgressors: for that which concerneth me hath fulfillment. 042 LUK 022 038 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough. 042 LUK 022 039 And he came out, and went, as his custom was, unto the mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed him. 042 LUK 022 040 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. 042 LUK 022 041 And he was parted from them about a stone’s cast; and he kneeled down and prayed, 042 LUK 022 042 saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. 042 LUK 022 043 And there appeared unto him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. 042 LUK 022 044 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground. 042 LUK 022 045 And when he rose up from his prayer, he came unto the disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow, 042 LUK 022 046 and said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. 042 LUK 022 047 While he yet spake, behold, a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them; and he drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. 042 LUK 022 048 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? 042 LUK 022 049 And when they that were about him saw what would follow, they said, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? 042 LUK 022 050 And a certain one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his right ear. 042 LUK 022 051 But Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. 042 LUK 022 052 And Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and elders, which were come against him, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves? 042 LUK 022 053 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched not forth your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. 042 LUK 022 054 And they seized him, and led him [away], and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed afar off. 042 LUK 022 055 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them. 042 LUK 022 056 And a certain maid seeing him as he sat in the light [of the fire], and looking stedfastly upon him, said, This man also was with him. 042 LUK 022 057 But he denied, saying, Woman, I know him not. 042 LUK 022 058 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou also art [one] of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not. 042 LUK 022 059 And after the space of about one hour another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this man also was with him: for he is a Galilaean. 042 LUK 022 060 But Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. 042 LUK 022 061 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said unto him, Before the cock crow this day, thou shalt deny me thrice. 042 LUK 022 062 And he went out, and wept bitterly. 042 LUK 022 063 And the men that held [Jesus] mocked him, and beat him. 042 LUK 022 064 And they blindfolded him, and asked him, saying, Prophesy: who is he that struck thee? 042 LUK 022 065 And many other things spake they against him, reviling him. 042 LUK 022 066 And as soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together, both chief priests and scribes; and they led him away into their council, saying, 042 LUK 022 067 If thou art the Christ, tell us. But he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: 042 LUK 022 068 and if I ask [you], ye will not answer. 042 LUK 022 069 But from henceforth shall the Son of man be seated at the right hand of the power of God. 042 LUK 022 070 And they all said, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. 042 LUK 022 071 And they said, What further need have we of witness? for we ourselves have heard from his own mouth. 042 LUK 023 001 And the whole company of them rose up, and brought him before Pilate. 042 LUK 023 002 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and 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. 042 LUK 023 004 And Pilate said unto the chief priests and the multitudes, I find no fault in this man. 042 LUK 023 005 But they were the more urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, and beginning from Galilee even unto this place. 042 LUK 023 006 But when Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean. 042 LUK 023 007 And when he knew that he was of Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him unto Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in these days. 042 LUK 023 008 Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was of a long time desirous to see him, because he had heard concerning him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him. 042 LUK 023 009 And he questioned him in many words; but he answered him nothing. 042 LUK 023 010 And the chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him. 042 LUK 023 011 And Herod with his soldiers set him at nought, and mocked him, and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to Pilate. 042 LUK 023 012 And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day: for before they were at enmity between themselves. 042 LUK 023 013 And Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, 042 LUK 023 014 and said unto them, Ye brought unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined him before you, found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: 042 LUK 023 015 no, nor yet Herod: for he sent him back unto us; and behold, nothing worthy of death hath been done by him. 042 LUK 023 016 I will therefore chastise him, and release him. 042 LUK 023 018 But they cried out all together, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: 042 LUK 023 019 one who for a certain insurrection made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison. 042 LUK 023 020 And Pilate spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus; 042 LUK 023 021 but they shouted, saying, Crucify, crucify him. 042 LUK 023 022 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him and release him. 042 LUK 023 023 But they were instant with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices prevailed. 042 LUK 023 024 And Pilate gave sentence that what they asked for should be done. 042 LUK 023 025 And he released him that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will. 042 LUK 023 026 And when they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to bear it after Jesus. 042 LUK 023 027 And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him. 042 LUK 023 028 But Jesus turning unto 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 bare, and the breasts that never gave suck. 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 the green tree, what shall be done in the dry? 042 LUK 023 032 And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. 042 LUK 023 033 And when they came unto the place which is called The skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand and the other on the left. 042 LUK 023 034 And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And parting his garments among them, they cast lots. 042 LUK 023 035 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also scoffed at him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen. 042 LUK 023 036 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, offering him vinegar, 042 LUK 023 037 and saying, If thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself. 042 LUK 023 038 And there was also a superscription over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 042 LUK 023 039 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us. 042 LUK 023 040 But the other answered, and rebuking him said, Dost thou not even 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, Jesus, remember me when thou comest in thy kingdom. 042 LUK 023 043 And he said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in Paradise. 042 LUK 023 044 And it was now about the sixth hour, and a darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour, 042 LUK 023 045 the sun’s light failing: and the veil of the temple was rent 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 this, he gave up the ghost. 042 LUK 023 047 And when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. 042 LUK 023 048 And all the multitudes that came together to this sight, when they beheld the things that were done, returned smiting their breasts. 042 LUK 023 049 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed with him from Galilee, stood afar off, seeing these things. 042 LUK 023 050 And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good man and a righteous 042 LUK 023 051 (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), [a man] of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was looking for the kingdom of God: 042 LUK 023 052 this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. 042 LUK 023 053 And he took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was hewn in stone, where never man had yet lain. 042 LUK 023 054 And it was the day of the Preparation, and the sabbath drew on. 042 LUK 023 055 And the women, which had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and beheld the tomb, and how his body was laid. 042 LUK 023 056 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments. And on the sabbath they rested according to the commandment. 042 LUK 024 001 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came unto the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared. 042 LUK 024 002 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 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, while they were perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel: 042 LUK 024 005 and as they were affrighted, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? 042 LUK 024 006 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, 042 LUK 024 007 saying that the Son of man must be delivered up 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 tomb, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest. 042 LUK 024 010 Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the [mother] of James: and the other women with them told these things unto the apostles. 042 LUK 024 011 And these words appeared in their sight as idle talk; and they disbelieved them. 042 LUK 024 012 But Peter arose, and ran unto the tomb; and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths by themselves; and he departed to his home, wondering at that which was come to pass. 042 LUK 024 013 And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was threescore furlongs from Jerusalem. 042 LUK 024 014 And they communed with each other of all these things which had happened. 042 LUK 024 015 And it came to pass, while they communed and questioned together, that Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. 042 LUK 024 016 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. 042 LUK 024 017 And he said unto them, What communications are these that ye have one with another, as ye walk? And they stood still, looking sad. 042 LUK 024 018 And one of them, named Cleopas, answering said unto him, Dost thou alone sojourn in Jerusalem and not know the things which are come to pass there in these days? 042 LUK 024 019 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which 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 up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 042 LUK 024 021 But we hoped that it was he which should redeem Israel. Yea and beside all this, it is now the third day since these things came to pass. 042 LUK 024 022 Moreover certain women of our company amazed us, having been early at the tomb; 042 LUK 024 023 and when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. 042 LUK 024 024 And certain of them that were with us went to the tomb, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. 042 LUK 024 025 And he said unto them, O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! 042 LUK 024 026 Behoved it not the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory? 042 LUK 024 027 And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. 042 LUK 024 028 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they were going: and he made as though he would go further. 042 LUK 024 029 And they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in to abide with them. 042 LUK 024 030 And it came to pass, when he had sat down with them to meat, he took the bread, and blessed it, and brake, 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, Was not our heart burning within us, while he spake to us in the way, while he opened to us the scriptures? 042 LUK 024 033 And they rose up that very 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 rehearsed the things [that happened] in the way, and how he was known of them in the breaking of the bread. 042 LUK 024 036 And as they spake these things, he himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you. 042 LUK 024 037 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they beheld a spirit. 042 LUK 024 038 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do reasonings arise in your heart? 042 LUK 024 039 See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye behold me having. 042 LUK 024 040 And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and his feet. 042 LUK 024 041 And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here anything to eat? 042 LUK 024 042 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish. 042 LUK 024 043 And he took it, and did eat before them. 042 LUK 024 044 And he said unto them, These are my words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, how that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me. 042 LUK 024 045 Then opened he their mind, that they might understand the scriptures; 042 LUK 024 046 and he said unto them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day; 042 LUK 024 047 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 042 LUK 024 048 Ye are witnesses of these things. 042 LUK 024 049 And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high. 042 LUK 024 050 And he led them out until [they were] over against Bethany: and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. 042 LUK 024 051 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was 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, blessing God. # # 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 anything made that hath been 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 the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not. 043 JOH 001 006 There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John. 043 JOH 001 007 The same came for witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him. 043 JOH 001 008 He was not the light, but [came] that he might bear witness of the light. 043 JOH 001 009 There was the true light, [even the light] which lighteth every man, coming 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 unto his own, and they that were his own received him not. 043 JOH 001 012 But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: 043 JOH 001 013 which 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 became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth. 043 JOH 001 015 John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is become before me: for he was before me. 043 JOH 001 016 For of his fulness we all received, and grace for grace. 043 JOH 001 017 For the law was given by Moses; grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 043 JOH 001 018 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which 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 unto him from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him, Who art thou? 043 JOH 001 020 And he confessed, and denied not; and he 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 the prophet? And he answered, No. 043 JOH 001 022 They said therefore unto 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 Isaiah the prophet. 043 JOH 001 024 And they had been sent from the Pharisees. 043 JOH 001 025 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Christ, neither Elijah, neither the prophet? 043 JOH 001 026 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: in the midst of you standeth one whom ye know not, 043 JOH 001 027 [even] he that cometh after me, the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose. 043 JOH 001 028 These things were done in Bethany beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. 043 JOH 001 029 On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world! 043 JOH 001 030 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is become 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, for this cause came I baptizing with water. 043 JOH 001 032 And John bare witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven; and it abode upon him. 043 JOH 001 033 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, he said unto me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and abiding upon him, the same is he that baptizeth with the Holy Spirit. 043 JOH 001 034 And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God. 043 JOH 001 035 Again on the morrow John was standing, and two of his disciples; 043 JOH 001 036 and he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and 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 And Jesus turned, and beheld them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? And they said unto him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Master), where abidest thou? 043 JOH 001 039 He saith unto them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day: it was about the tenth hour. 043 JOH 001 040 One of the two that heard John [speak], and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 043 JOH 001 041 He findeth first his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ). 043 JOH 001 042 He brought him unto Jesus. Jesus looked upon him, and said, Thou art Simon the son of John: thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter). 043 JOH 001 043 On the morrow he was minded to go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip: and Jesus saith unto him, Follow me. 043 JOH 001 044 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter. 043 JOH 001 045 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. 043 JOH 001 046 And Nathanael said unto him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto 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 unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. 043 JOH 001 049 Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art King of Israel. 043 JOH 001 050 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee underneath the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. 043 JOH 001 051 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye shall see the heaven opened, 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 bidden, and his disciples, to the marriage. 043 JOH 002 003 And when the wine failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 043 JOH 002 004 And Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 043 JOH 002 005 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 043 JOH 002 006 Now there were six waterpots of stone set there after the Jews’ manner of purifying, containing two or three firkins apiece. 043 JOH 002 007 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 043 JOH 002 008 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the ruler of the feast. And they bare it. 043 JOH 002 009 And when the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and knew not whence it was (but the servants which had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast calleth the bridegroom, 043 JOH 002 010 and saith unto him, Every man setteth on first the good wine; and when [men] have drunk freely, [then] that which is worse: thou hast kept the good wine until now. 043 JOH 002 011 This beginning of his signs did Jesus 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 there they abode not many days. 043 JOH 002 013 And the passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 043 JOH 002 014 And he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: 043 JOH 002 015 and he made a scourge of cords, and cast all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew their tables; 043 JOH 002 016 and to them that sold the doves he said, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house a house of merchandise. 043 JOH 002 017 His disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house shall eat me up. 043 JOH 002 018 The Jews therefore answered and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? 043 JOH 002 019 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 043 JOH 002 020 The Jews therefore said, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days? 043 JOH 002 021 But he spake of the temple of his body. 043 JOH 002 022 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he spake this; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said. 043 JOH 002 023 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he did. 043 JOH 002 024 But Jesus did not trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men, 043 JOH 002 025 and because he needed not that any one should bear witness concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man. 043 JOH 003 001 Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 043 JOH 003 002 The same came unto him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these signs that thou doest, except God be with him. 043 JOH 003 003 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 043 JOH 003 004 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 043 JOH 003 005 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and 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 unto thee, Ye must be born anew. 043 JOH 003 008 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. 043 JOH 003 009 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 043 JOH 003 010 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things? 043 JOH 003 011 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and bear witness of that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 043 JOH 003 012 If I 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 into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, [even] the Son of man, which 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 whosoever believeth may in him have eternal life. (aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 003 016 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 003 017 For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him. 043 JOH 003 018 He that believeth on him is not judged: he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God. 043 JOH 003 019 And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. 043 JOH 003 020 For every one that doeth ill hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved. 043 JOH 003 021 But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been 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 There arose therefore a questioning on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew about purifying. 043 JOH 003 026 And they came unto John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou hast borne 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 have been 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, which 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 of the earth, and of the earth he speaketh: he that cometh from heaven is above all. 043 JOH 003 032 What he hath seen and heard, of that he beareth witness; and no man receiveth his witness. 043 JOH 003 033 He that hath received his witness hath set his seal to [this], that God is true. 043 JOH 003 034 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for he 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 eternal life; but he that obeyeth 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 how that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John 043 JOH 004 002 (although 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 pass through Samaria. 043 JOH 004 005 So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph: 043 JOH 004 006 and Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour. 043 JOH 004 007 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. 043 JOH 004 008 For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food. 043 JOH 004 009 The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a Samaritan woman? (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) 043 JOH 004 010 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. 043 JOH 004 011 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? 043 JOH 004 012 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle? 043 JOH 004 013 Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 043 JOH 004 014 but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 004 015 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw. 043 JOH 004 016 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. 043 JOH 004 017 The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband: 043 JOH 004 018 for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly. 043 JOH 004 019 The woman saith unto 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 unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father. 043 JOH 004 022 Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know: 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 truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers. 043 JOH 004 024 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth. 043 JOH 004 025 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh (which is called Christ): when he is come, he will declare unto us all things. 043 JOH 004 026 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he]. 043 JOH 004 027 And upon this came his disciples; and they marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her? 043 JOH 004 028 So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the men, 043 JOH 004 029 Come, see a man, which told me all things that [ever] I did: can this be the Christ? 043 JOH 004 030 They went out of the city, and were coming to him. 043 JOH 004 031 In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat. 043 JOH 004 032 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not. 043 JOH 004 033 The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him [aught] to eat? 043 JOH 004 034 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work. 043 JOH 004 035 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and [then] cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white already unto harvest. 043 JOH 004 036 He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 004 037 For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. 043 JOH 004 038 I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not laboured: others have laboured, and ye are entered into their labour. 043 JOH 004 039 And from that city many of the Samaritans believed on him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all things that [ever] I did. 043 JOH 004 040 So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them: and he abode there two days. 043 JOH 004 041 And many more believed because of his word; 043 JOH 004 042 and they said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy speaking: for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world. 043 JOH 004 043 And after the two days he went forth from thence into Galilee. 043 JOH 004 044 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country. 043 JOH 004 045 So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast. 043 JOH 004 046 He came therefore again unto Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. 043 JOH 004 047 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto 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 Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe. 043 JOH 004 049 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. 043 JOH 004 050 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word that Jesus spake unto him, and he went his way. 043 JOH 004 051 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son lived. 043 JOH 004 052 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to amend. They said therefore unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. 043 JOH 004 053 So the father knew that [it was] at that hour in which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house. 043 JOH 004 054 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judaea into Galilee. 043 JOH 005 001 After these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 043 JOH 005 002 Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep [gate] a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches. 043 JOH 005 003 In these lay a multitude of them that were sick, blind, halt, withered. 043 JOH 005 005 And a certain man was there, which had been thirty and eight years in his infirmity. 043 JOH 005 006 When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been now a long time [in that case], he saith unto him, Wouldest thou be made whole? 043 JOH 005 007 The sick 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 unto him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk. 043 JOH 005 009 And straightway the man was made whole, and took up his bed and walked. Now it was the sabbath on that day. 043 JOH 005 010 So the Jews said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed. 043 JOH 005 011 But he answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk. 043 JOH 005 012 They asked him, Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up [thy bed], and walk? 043 JOH 005 013 But he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in the place. 043 JOH 005 014 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing befall thee. 043 JOH 005 015 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus which had made him whole. 043 JOH 005 016 And for this cause did the Jews persecute Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath. 043 JOH 005 017 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh even until now, and I work. 043 JOH 005 018 For this cause therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only brake the sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God. 043 JOH 005 019 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doeth, these the Son also doeth in like manner. 043 JOH 005 020 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that ye may marvel. 043 JOH 005 021 For as the Father raiseth the dead and quickeneth them, even so the Son also quickeneth whom he will. 043 JOH 005 022 For neither doth the Father judge any man, but he hath given all judgment unto the Son; 043 JOH 005 023 that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which sent him. 043 JOH 005 024 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath eternal life, and cometh not into judgment, but hath passed out of death into life. (aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 005 025 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour cometh, 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, even so gave he to the Son also to have life in himself: 043 JOH 005 027 and he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man. 043 JOH 005 028 Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice, 043 JOH 005 029 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done ill, unto the resurrection of judgment. 043 JOH 005 030 I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 043 JOH 005 031 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. 043 JOH 005 032 It is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. 043 JOH 005 033 Ye have sent unto John, and he hath borne witness unto the truth. 043 JOH 005 034 But the witness which I receive is not from man: howbeit I say these things, that ye may be saved. 043 JOH 005 035 He was the lamp that burneth and shineth: and ye were willing to rejoice for a season in his light. 043 JOH 005 036 But the witness which I have is greater than [that of] John: for the works which the Father hath given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. 043 JOH 005 037 And the Father which sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form. 043 JOH 005 038 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe not. 043 JOH 005 039 Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness 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 glory from men. 043 JOH 005 042 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in yourselves. 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, which receive glory one of another, and the glory that [cometh] from the only God ye seek not? 043 JOH 005 045 Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, [even] Moses, on whom ye have set your hope. 043 JOH 005 046 For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of 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 away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is [the sea] of Tiberias. 043 JOH 006 002 And a great multitude followed him, because they beheld the signs which he did on them that were sick. 043 JOH 006 003 And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. 043 JOH 006 004 Now the passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. 043 JOH 006 005 Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude cometh unto him, saith unto Philip, Whence are we to buy bread, that these may eat? 043 JOH 006 006 And this he said to prove 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 may take a little. 043 JOH 006 008 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him, 043 JOH 006 009 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two fishes: but what are these among so many? 043 JOH 006 010 Jesus said, Make the people sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 043 JOH 006 011 Jesus therefore took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down; likewise also of the fishes as much as they would. 043 JOH 006 012 And when they were filled, he saith unto his disciples, Gather up the broken pieces which remain over, that nothing be lost. 043 JOH 006 013 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which remained over unto them that had eaten. 043 JOH 006 014 When therefore the people saw the sign which he did, they said, This is of a truth the prophet that cometh into the world. 043 JOH 006 015 Jesus therefore perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again into the mountain himself alone. 043 JOH 006 016 And when evening came, his disciples went down unto the sea; 043 JOH 006 017 and they entered into a boat, and were going over the sea unto Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. 043 JOH 006 018 And the sea was rising by reason of a great wind that blew. 043 JOH 006 019 When therefore they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the boat: and they were afraid. 043 JOH 006 020 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. 043 JOH 006 021 They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat: and straightway the boat was at the land whither they were going. 043 JOH 006 022 On the morrow the multitude which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save one, and that Jesus entered not with his disciples into the boat, but [that] his disciples went away alone 043 JOH 006 023 (howbeit there came boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks): 043 JOH 006 024 when the multitude therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. 043 JOH 006 025 And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? 043 JOH 006 026 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled. 043 JOH 006 027 Work not for the meat which perisheth, but for the meat which abideth unto eternal life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him the Father, [even] God, hath sealed. (aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 006 028 They said therefore unto him, What must we do, that we may work the works of God? 043 JOH 006 029 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. 043 JOH 006 030 They said therefore unto him, What then doest thou for a sign, that we may see, and believe thee? what workest thou? 043 JOH 006 031 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat. 043 JOH 006 032 Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, It was not Moses that gave you the bread out of heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread out of heaven. 043 JOH 006 033 For the bread of God is that which cometh down out of heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 043 JOH 006 034 They said therefore unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. 043 JOH 006 035 Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. 043 JOH 006 036 But I said unto you, that ye have seen me, and yet believe not. 043 JOH 006 037 All that which the Father giveth me shall come unto me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 043 JOH 006 038 For I am come down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 043 JOH 006 039 And this is the will of him that sent me, that of all that which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. 043 JOH 006 040 For this is the will of my Father, that every one that beholdeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 006 041 The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, I am the bread which came down out of heaven. 043 JOH 006 042 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how doth he now say, I am come down out of heaven? 043 JOH 006 043 Jesus answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. 043 JOH 006 044 No man can come to me, except the Father which sent me draw him: and I will raise him up in the last day. 043 JOH 006 045 It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard from the Father, and hath learned, cometh unto me. 043 JOH 006 046 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is from God, he hath seen the Father. 043 JOH 006 047 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth hath eternal life. (aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 006 048 I am the bread of life. 043 JOH 006 049 Your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 043 JOH 006 050 This is the bread which cometh down out of heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 043 JOH 006 051 I am the living bread which came down out of heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: yea and the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world. (aiōn g165) 043 JOH 006 052 The Jews therefore strove one with another, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? 043 JOH 006 053 Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have not life in yourselves. 043 JOH 006 054 He that 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 meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 043 JOH 006 056 He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood abideth in me, and I in him. 043 JOH 006 057 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he that eateth me, he also shall live because of me. 043 JOH 006 058 This is the bread which came down out of heaven: not as the fathers did eat, and died: he that eateth this bread shall live for ever. (aiōn g165) 043 JOH 006 059 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. 043 JOH 006 060 Many therefore of his disciples, when they heard [this], said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it? 043 JOH 006 061 But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said unto them, Doth this cause you to stumble? 043 JOH 006 062 [What] then if ye should behold the Son of man ascending where he was before? 043 JOH 006 063 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, and 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 it was that should betray him. 043 JOH 006 065 And he said, For this cause have I said unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it be given unto him of the Father. 043 JOH 006 066 Upon this many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 043 JOH 006 067 Jesus said therefore unto the twelve, Would ye also go away? 043 JOH 006 068 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 have believed and know that thou art the Holy One of God. 043 JOH 006 070 Jesus answered them, Did not I choose you the twelve, and one of you is a devil? 043 JOH 006 071 Now he spake of Judas [the son] of Simon Iscariot, for he it was that should betray him, [being] one of the twelve. 043 JOH 007 001 And 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 feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand. 043 JOH 007 003 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works which thou doest. 043 JOH 007 004 For no man doeth anything in secret, and himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world. 043 JOH 007 005 For even his brethren did not believe on him. 043 JOH 007 006 Jesus therefore saith unto them, My time is not yet come; but your time is alway ready. 043 JOH 007 007 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that its works are evil. 043 JOH 007 008 Go ye up unto the feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; because my time is not yet fulfilled. 043 JOH 007 009 And having said these things unto them, he abode [still] in Galilee. 043 JOH 007 010 But when his brethren were gone up unto the feast, then went he also up, not publicly, but as it were in secret. 043 JOH 007 011 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he? 043 JOH 007 012 And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him: some said, He is a good man; others said, Not so, but he leadeth the multitude astray. 043 JOH 007 013 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews. 043 JOH 007 014 But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. 043 JOH 007 015 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? 043 JOH 007 016 Jesus therefore answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me. 043 JOH 007 017 If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it be of God, or [whether] I speak from myself. 043 JOH 007 018 He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him 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 doeth the law? Why seek ye to kill me? 043 JOH 007 020 The multitude answered, Thou hast a devil: who seeketh to kill thee? 043 JOH 007 021 Jesus answered and said unto them, I did one work, and ye all marvel. 043 JOH 007 022 For this cause hath Moses given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers); and on the sabbath ye circumcise a man. 043 JOH 007 023 If a man receiveth circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are ye wroth with me, because I made a man every whit whole on the sabbath? 043 JOH 007 024 Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment. 043 JOH 007 025 Some therefore of them of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill? 043 JOH 007 026 And lo, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing unto him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ? 043 JOH 007 027 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence he is. 043 JOH 007 028 Jesus therefore cried in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me, and know whence I am; and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. 043 JOH 007 029 I know him; because I am from him, and he sent me. 043 JOH 007 030 They sought therefore to take him: and no man laid his hand on him, because his hour was not yet come. 043 JOH 007 031 But of the multitude many believed on him; and they said, When the Christ shall come, will he do more signs than those which this man hath done? 043 JOH 007 032 The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to take him. 043 JOH 007 033 Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while am I with you, and I go unto him that sent me. 043 JOH 007 034 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, ye cannot come. 043 JOH 007 035 The Jews therefore said among themselves, Whither will this man go that we shall not find him? will he go unto the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks? 043 JOH 007 036 What is this word that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, ye cannot come? 043 JOH 007 037 Now on the last day, the great [day] of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 043 JOH 007 038 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 043 JOH 007 039 But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed on him were to receive: for the Spirit was not yet [given]; because Jesus was not yet glorified. 043 JOH 007 040 [Some] of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is of a truth the prophet. 043 JOH 007 041 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, What, doth the Christ come out of Galilee? 043 JOH 007 042 Hath not the scripture said that the Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was? 043 JOH 007 043 So there arose a division in the multitude 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 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why did ye not bring him? 043 JOH 007 046 The officers answered, Never man so spake. 043 JOH 007 047 The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also led astray? 043 JOH 007 048 Hath any of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees? 043 JOH 007 049 But this multitude which knoweth not the law are accursed. 043 JOH 007 050 Nicodemus saith unto them (he that came to him before, being one of them), 043 JOH 007 051 Doth our law judge a man, except it first hear from himself and know what he doeth? 043 JOH 007 052 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and see that out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. 043 JOH 007 053 [And they went every man unto his own house: 043 JOH 008 001 but Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. 043 JOH 008 002 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. 043 JOH 008 003 And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst, 043 JOH 008 004 they say unto him, Master, this woman hath been taken in adultery, in the very act. 043 JOH 008 005 Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such: what then sayest thou of her? 043 JOH 008 006 And this they said, tempting him, that they might have [whereof] to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground. 043 JOH 008 007 But when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto 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 with his finger wrote on the ground. 043 JOH 008 009 And they, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, [even] unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the midst. 043 JOH 008 010 And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee? 043 JOH 008 011 And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn thee: go thy way; from henceforth sin no more.] 043 JOH 008 012 Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life. 043 JOH 008 013 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true. 043 JOH 008 014 Jesus answered and said unto them, Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I come, or whither I go. 043 JOH 008 015 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. 043 JOH 008 016 Yea and if I judge, my judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. 043 JOH 008 017 Yea and in your law it is written, that the witness of two men is true. 043 JOH 008 018 I am he that beareth witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. 043 JOH 008 019 They said therefore unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father: if ye knew me, ye would know my Father also. 043 JOH 008 020 These words spake he in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man took him; because his hour was not yet come. 043 JOH 008 021 He said therefore again unto them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: whither I go, ye cannot come. 043 JOH 008 022 The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come? 043 JOH 008 023 And he said unto 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 unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins. 043 JOH 008 025 They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning. 043 JOH 008 026 I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world. 043 JOH 008 027 They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father. 043 JOH 008 028 Jesus therefore said, 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 the Father taught me, I speak these things. 043 JOH 008 029 And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that are pleasing to him. 043 JOH 008 030 As he spake these things, many believed on him. 043 JOH 008 031 Jesus therefore said to those Jews which had believed him, If ye abide in my word, [then] are ye truly my disciples; 043 JOH 008 032 and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 043 JOH 008 033 They answered unto him, We be Abraham’s seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 043 JOH 008 034 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin. 043 JOH 008 035 And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever. (aiōn g165) 043 JOH 008 036 If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 043 JOH 008 037 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; yet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course in you. 043 JOH 008 038 I speak the things which I have seen with [my] Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from [your] father. 043 JOH 008 039 They answered and said unto him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto 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 heard from God: this did not Abraham. 043 JOH 008 041 Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] God. 043 JOH 008 042 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come 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 it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stood 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 thereof. 043 JOH 008 045 But because I say the truth, ye believe me not. 043 JOH 008 046 Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me? 043 JOH 008 047 He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear [them] not, because ye are not of God. 043 JOH 008 048 The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? 043 JOH 008 049 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me. 043 JOH 008 050 But I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. 043 JOH 008 051 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death. (aiōn g165) 043 JOH 008 052 The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death. (aiōn g165) 043 JOH 008 053 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself? 043 JOH 008 054 Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God; 043 JOH 008 055 and ye have not known him: but I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be like unto you, a liar: but I know him, and keep his word. 043 JOH 008 056 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad. 043 JOH 008 057 The Jews therefore said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 043 JOH 008 058 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. 043 JOH 008 059 They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple. 043 JOH 009 001 And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth. 043 JOH 009 002 And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind? 043 JOH 009 003 Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. 043 JOH 009 004 We 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 When 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 anointed his eyes with the clay, 043 JOH 009 007 and said unto 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 which saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? 043 JOH 009 009 Others said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am [he]. 043 JOH 009 010 They said therefore unto him, How then were thine eyes opened? 043 JOH 009 011 He answered, The man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to Siloam, and wash: so I went away and washed, and I received sight. 043 JOH 009 012 And they said unto him, Where is he? He saith, I know not. 043 JOH 009 013 They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. 043 JOH 009 014 Now it was the sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. 043 JOH 009 015 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. And he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see. 043 JOH 009 016 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. But others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them. 043 JOH 009 017 They say therefore unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, in that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet. 043 JOH 009 018 The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight, 043 JOH 009 019 and 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 and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: 043 JOH 009 021 but how he now seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself. 043 JOH 009 022 These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him [to be] 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 So they called a second time the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner. 043 JOH 009 025 He therefore answered, Whether he be a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. 043 JOH 009 026 They said therefore unto him, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? 043 JOH 009 027 He answered them, I told you even now, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? would ye also become his disciples? 043 JOH 009 028 And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses. 043 JOH 009 029 We know that God hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this man, we know not whence he is. 043 JOH 009 030 The man answered and said unto them, Why, herein is the marvel, that ye know not whence he is, and [yet] he opened mine eyes. 043 JOH 009 031 We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth. 043 JOH 009 032 Since the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man 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 unto 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 finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? 043 JOH 009 036 He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him? 043 JOH 009 037 Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that speaketh 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 came I into this world, that they which see not may see; and that they which see may become blind. 043 JOH 009 040 Those of the Pharisees which were with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we also blind? 043 JOH 009 041 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth. 043 JOH 010 001 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 043 JOH 010 002 But he that entereth in 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 When he hath put forth all his own, 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 spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. 043 JOH 010 007 Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 043 JOH 010 008 All that 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 enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture. 043 JOH 010 010 The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have [it] abundantly. 043 JOH 010 011 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep. 043 JOH 010 012 He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf snatcheth them, and scattereth [them]: 043 JOH 010 013 [he fleeth] because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 043 JOH 010 014 I am the good shepherd; and I know mine own, and mine own know me, 043 JOH 010 015 even as the Father knoweth me, and 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 they shall become one flock, one shepherd. 043 JOH 010 017 Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. 043 JOH 010 018 No one taketh it away 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 received I from my Father. 043 JOH 010 019 There arose a division again among the Jews because of these words. 043 JOH 010 020 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him? 043 JOH 010 021 Others said, These are not the sayings of one possessed with a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind? 043 JOH 010 022 And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem: it was winter; 043 JOH 010 023 and Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon’s porch. 043 JOH 010 024 The Jews therefore came round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly. 043 JOH 010 025 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, these bear witness of me. 043 JOH 010 026 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep. 043 JOH 010 027 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 043 JOH 010 028 and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 010 029 My Father, which hath given [them] unto me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch [them] out of the Father’s hand. 043 JOH 010 030 I and the Father are one. 043 JOH 010 031 The Jews took up stones again to stone him. 043 JOH 010 032 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 043 JOH 010 033 The Jews answered him, 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, unto whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken), 043 JOH 010 036 say ye of him, whom the Father 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 them, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father. 043 JOH 010 039 They sought again to take him: and he went forth out of their hand. 043 JOH 010 040 And he went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John was at the first baptizing; and there he abode. 043 JOH 010 041 And many came unto him; and they said, John indeed did no sign: but all things whatsoever John spake 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, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 043 JOH 011 002 And it was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. 043 JOH 011 003 The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. 043 JOH 011 004 But when Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby. 043 JOH 011 005 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. 043 JOH 011 006 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he abode at that time two days in the place where he was. 043 JOH 011 007 Then after this he saith to the disciples, Let us go into Judaea again. 043 JOH 011 008 The disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone thee; and goest thou thither again? 043 JOH 011 009 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. 043 JOH 011 010 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him. 043 JOH 011 011 These things spake he: and after this he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus is fallen asleep; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. 043 JOH 011 012 The disciples therefore said unto him, Lord, if he is fallen asleep, he will recover. 043 JOH 011 013 Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they thought that he spake of taking rest in sleep. 043 JOH 011 014 Then Jesus therefore said unto 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 unto him. 043 JOH 011 016 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him. 043 JOH 011 017 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already. 043 JOH 011 018 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off; 043 JOH 011 019 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother. 043 JOH 011 020 Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary still sat in the house. 043 JOH 011 021 Martha therefore said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 043 JOH 011 022 And even now I know that, whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee. 043 JOH 011 023 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. 043 JOH 011 024 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. 043 JOH 011 025 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, though he die, yet shall he live: 043 JOH 011 026 and whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die. Believest thou this? (aiōn g165) 043 JOH 011 027 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, [even] he that cometh into the world. 043 JOH 011 028 And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is here, and calleth thee. 043 JOH 011 029 And she, when she heard it, arose quickly, and went unto him. 043 JOH 011 030 (Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met him.) 043 JOH 011 031 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and were comforting her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going unto the tomb to weep there. 043 JOH 011 032 Mary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, and saw him, fell down at his feet, saying unto 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 which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, 043 JOH 011 034 and said, Where have ye laid him? They say unto him, Lord, come and see. 043 JOH 011 035 Jesus wept. 043 JOH 011 036 The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him! 043 JOH 011 037 But some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of him that was blind, have caused that this man also should not die? 043 JOH 011 038 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it. 043 JOH 011 039 Jesus saith, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been [dead] four days. 043 JOH 011 040 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou believedst, thou shouldest see the glory of God? 043 JOH 011 041 So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou heardest me. 043 JOH 011 042 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the multitude which standeth around I said it, that they may believe that thou didst send me. 043 JOH 011 043 And when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 043 JOH 011 044 He that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. 043 JOH 011 045 Many therefore of the Jews, which came to Mary and beheld that which he did, believed on him. 043 JOH 011 046 But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done. 043 JOH 011 047 The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many signs. 043 JOH 011 048 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation. 043 JOH 011 049 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, 043 JOH 011 050 nor do ye take account that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. 043 JOH 011 051 Now this he said not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation; 043 JOH 011 052 and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God that are scattered abroad. 043 JOH 011 053 So from that day forth they took counsel that they might put him to death. 043 JOH 011 054 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed thence into the country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim; and there he tarried with the disciples. 043 JOH 011 055 Now the passover of the Jews was at hand: and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, to purify themselves. 043 JOH 011 056 They sought therefore for Jesus, and spake one with another, as they stood in the temple, What think ye? That he will not come to the feast? 043 JOH 011 057 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that, if any man knew where he was, he should shew it, that they might take him. 043 JOH 012 001 Jesus therefore six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead. 043 JOH 012 002 So they made him a supper there: and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of them that sat at meat with him. 043 JOH 012 003 Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of spikenard, very precious, 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 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, which should betray him, saith, 043 JOH 012 005 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? 043 JOH 012 006 Now this he said, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the bag took away what was put therein. 043 JOH 012 007 Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to keep it against the day of my burying. 043 JOH 012 008 For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always. 043 JOH 012 009 The common people therefore of the Jews learned 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 took counsel 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 morrow a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 043 JOH 012 013 took the branches of the palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna: Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel. 043 JOH 012 014 And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, 043 JOH 012 015 Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt. 043 JOH 012 016 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him. 043 JOH 012 017 The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bare witness. 043 JOH 012 018 For this cause also the multitude went and met him, for that they heard that he had done this sign. 043 JOH 012 019 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Behold how ye prevail nothing: lo, the world is gone after him. 043 JOH 012 020 Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast: 043 JOH 012 021 these therefore came to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. 043 JOH 012 022 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: Andrew cometh, and Philip, and they tell Jesus. 043 JOH 012 023 And Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. 043 JOH 012 024 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit. 043 JOH 012 025 He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto 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 the 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 came I unto this hour. 043 JOH 012 028 Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, [saying], I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. 043 JOH 012 029 The multitude therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it had thundered: others said, An angel hath spoken to him. 043 JOH 012 030 Jesus answered and said, This voice hath not come for my sake, 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 be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself. 043 JOH 012 033 But this he said, signifying by what manner of death he should die. 043 JOH 012 034 The multitude therefore answered him, We have heard out of the law that the 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 Jesus therefore said unto them, Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness overtake you not: and he that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. 043 JOH 012 036 While ye have the light, believe on the light, that ye may become sons of light. These things spake Jesus, and he departed and hid himself from them. 043 JOH 012 037 But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they believed not on him: 043 JOH 012 038 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? 043 JOH 012 039 For this cause they could not believe, for that Isaiah said again, 043 JOH 012 040 He hath blinded their eyes, and he hardened their heart; Lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, And should turn, And I should heal them. 043 JOH 012 041 These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory; and he spake of him. 043 JOH 012 042 Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [it], lest they should be put out of the synagogue: 043 JOH 012 043 for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God. 043 JOH 012 044 And 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 beholdeth me beholdeth him that sent me. 043 JOH 012 046 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me may not abide in the darkness. 043 JOH 012 047 And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them 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 sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day. 043 JOH 012 049 For I spake not from myself; but the Father which sent me, he hath given me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 043 JOH 012 050 And I know that his commandment is life eternal: the things therefore which I speak, even as the Father hath said unto me, so I speak. (aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 013 001 Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end. 043 JOH 013 002 And during supper, the devil having already 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 came forth from God, and goeth unto God, 043 JOH 013 004 riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments; and he took a towel, and girded himself. 043 JOH 013 005 Then he poureth water into the bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. 043 JOH 013 006 So he cometh to Simon Peter. He saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? 043 JOH 013 007 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt understand hereafter. 043 JOH 013 008 Peter saith unto 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 unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. 043 JOH 013 010 Jesus saith to him, He that is bathed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. 043 JOH 013 011 For he knew him that should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. 043 JOH 013 012 So when he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and sat down again, he said unto 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, the Lord and the 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 also should do as I have done to you. 043 JOH 013 016 Verily, verily, I say unto you, A servant is not greater than his lord; neither one that is sent greater than he that sent him. 043 JOH 013 017 If ye know these things, blessed 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 my bread lifted up his heel against me. 043 JOH 013 019 From henceforth I tell you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am [he]. 043 JOH 013 020 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever 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 the spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. 043 JOH 013 022 The disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. 043 JOH 013 023 There was at the table reclining in Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. 043 JOH 013 024 Simon Peter therefore beckoneth to him, and saith unto him, Tell [us] who it is of whom he speaketh. 043 JOH 013 025 He leaning back, as he was, on Jesus’ breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? 043 JOH 013 026 Jesus therefore answereth, He it is, for whom I shall dip the sop, and give it him. So when he had dipped the sop, he taketh and giveth it to Judas, [the son] of Simon Iscariot. 043 JOH 013 027 And after the sop, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore saith unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. 043 JOH 013 028 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him. 043 JOH 013 029 For some thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus said unto him, Buy what things 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 out straightway: and it was night. 043 JOH 013 031 When therefore he was gone out, Jesus saith, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him; 043 JOH 013 032 and God shall glorify him in himself, and straightway shall he glorify him. 043 JOH 013 033 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say unto you. 043 JOH 013 034 A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; even 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 saith unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow afterwards. 043 JOH 013 037 Peter saith unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee even now? I will lay down my life for thee. 043 JOH 013 038 Jesus answereth, Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice. 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; for I go to prepare a place for you. 043 JOH 014 003 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also. 043 JOH 014 004 And whither I go, ye know the way. 043 JOH 014 005 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way? 043 JOH 014 006 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me. 043 JOH 014 007 If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. 043 JOH 014 008 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 043 JOH 014 009 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how sayest thou, Shew 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 say unto you I speak not from myself: but the Father abiding in me doeth his 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 unto 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 unto the Father. 043 JOH 014 013 And whatsoever 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 me anything in my name, that will I do. 043 JOH 014 015 If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments. 043 JOH 014 016 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever, (aiōn g165) 043 JOH 014 017 [even] the Spirit of truth: whom the world cannot receive; for it beholdeth him not, neither knoweth him: ye know him; for he abideth with you, and shall be in you. 043 JOH 014 018 I will not leave you desolate: I come unto you. 043 JOH 014 019 Yet a little while, and the world beholdeth me no more; but ye behold me: because I live, ye shall live also. 043 JOH 014 020 In 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 of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself unto him. 043 JOH 014 022 Judas (not Iscariot) saith unto him, Lord, what is come to pass that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 043 JOH 014 023 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 043 JOH 014 024 He that loveth me not keepeth not my words: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me. 043 JOH 014 025 These things have I spoken unto you, while [yet] abiding with you. 043 JOH 014 026 But the Comforter, [even] the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said unto you. 043 JOH 014 027 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful. 043 JOH 014 028 Ye heard how I said to you, I go away, and I come unto you. If ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced, because I go unto the Father: for the Father is greater than I. 043 JOH 014 029 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe. 043 JOH 014 030 I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world cometh: and he 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 hence. 043 JOH 015 001 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 043 JOH 015 002 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh it away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he cleanseth it, that it may bear more fruit. 043 JOH 015 003 Already ye are clean because of the word which I have spoken unto 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; so neither 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 beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye can do nothing. 043 JOH 015 006 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they 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, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 043 JOH 015 008 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and [so] shall ye be my disciples. 043 JOH 015 009 Even as the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide 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 unto you, that my joy may be in you, and [that] your joy may be fulfilled. 043 JOH 015 012 This is my commandment, that ye love one another, even 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 the things which I command you. 043 JOH 015 015 No longer do I call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I heard from my Father I have made known unto you. 043 JOH 015 016 Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and [that] your fruit should abide: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 043 JOH 015 017 These things I command you, that ye may love one another. 043 JOH 015 018 If the world hateth you, ye know that it hath 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 chose you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 043 JOH 015 020 Remember the word that I said unto you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. 043 JOH 015 021 But all these things will they do unto 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 unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no excuse 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 none other did, 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 may 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 unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall bear witness of me: 043 JOH 015 027 and ye also bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning. 043 JOH 016 001 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be made to stumble. 043 JOH 016 002 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you shall think that he offereth service unto God. 043 JOH 016 003 And these things will they do, because they have not known the Father, nor me. 043 JOH 016 004 But these things have I spoken unto you, that when their hour is come, ye may remember them, how that I told you. And these things I said not unto you from the beginning, because I was with you. 043 JOH 016 005 But now I go unto him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? 043 JOH 016 006 But because I have spoken these things unto 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 unto you; but if I go, I will send him unto you. 043 JOH 016 008 And he, when he is come, will convict the world in respect 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 the Father, and ye behold me no more; 043 JOH 016 011 of judgment, because the prince of this world hath been judged. 043 JOH 016 012 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 043 JOH 016 013 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, [these] shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come. 043 JOH 016 014 He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall declare [it] unto you. 043 JOH 016 015 All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he taketh of mine, and shall declare [it] unto you. 043 JOH 016 016 A little while, and ye behold me no more; and again a little while, and ye shall see me. 043 JOH 016 017 [Some] of his disciples therefore said one to another, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye behold me not; 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 know not what he saith. 043 JOH 016 019 Jesus perceived that they were desirous to ask him, and he said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, A little while, and ye behold me not, and again a little while, and ye shall see me? 043 JOH 016 020 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: 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 when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joy that a man is born into the world. 043 JOH 016 022 And ye therefore now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one taketh away from you. 043 JOH 016 023 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name. 043 JOH 016 024 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be fulfilled. 043 JOH 016 025 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: the hour cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but shall tell you plainly of the Father. 043 JOH 016 026 In that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto 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 forth from the Father. 043 JOH 016 028 I came out from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go unto the Father. 043 JOH 016 029 His disciples say, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. 043 JOH 016 030 Now know we that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God. 043 JOH 016 031 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe? 043 JOH 016 032 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is 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 have I spoken unto you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. 043 JOH 017 001 These things spake Jesus; and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that the Son may glorify thee: 043 JOH 017 002 even as thou gavest him authority over all flesh, that whatsoever thou hast given him, to them he should give eternal life. (aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 017 003 And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, [even] Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166) 043 JOH 017 004 I glorified thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which thou hast given me to do. 043 JOH 017 005 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. 043 JOH 017 006 I manifested thy name unto the men whom thou gavest 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 know that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee: 043 JOH 017 008 for the words which thou gavest me I have given unto them; and they received [them], and knew of a truth that I came forth from thee, and they believed that thou didst send me. 043 JOH 017 009 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine: 043 JOH 017 010 and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine: and I am glorified in them. 043 JOH 017 011 And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we [are]. 043 JOH 017 012 While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou hast given me: and I guarded them, and not one of them perished, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. 043 JOH 017 013 But 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 them thy word; and the world 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 from the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil [one]. 043 JOH 017 016 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 043 JOH 017 017 Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth. 043 JOH 017 018 As thou didst send me into the world, even so sent I them into the world. 043 JOH 017 019 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. 043 JOH 017 020 Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that believe on me through their word; 043 JOH 017 021 that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us: that the world may believe that thou didst send me. 043 JOH 017 022 And the glory which thou hast given me I have given unto 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 perfected into one; that the world may know that thou didst send me, and lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me. 043 JOH 017 024 Father, that which thou hast given me, I will that, where I am, they also may be with me; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. 043 JOH 017 025 O righteous Father, the world knew thee not, but I knew thee; and these knew that thou didst send me; 043 JOH 017 026 and I made known unto them thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou lovedst 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 the which he entered, himself and his disciples. 043 JOH 018 002 Now Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus oft-times resorted thither with his disciples. 043 JOH 018 003 Judas then, having received the band [of soldiers], and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. 043 JOH 018 004 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were coming upon him, went forth, and saith unto them, Whom seek ye? 043 JOH 018 005 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am [he]. And Judas also, which betrayed him, was standing with them. 043 JOH 018 006 When therefore he said unto them, I am [he], they went backward, and fell to the ground. 043 JOH 018 007 Again therefore he asked them, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. 043 JOH 018 008 Jesus answered, I told you that I am [he]: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way: 043 JOH 018 009 that the word might be fulfilled which he spake, Of those whom thou hast given me I lost not one. 043 JOH 018 010 Simon Peter therefore having a sword drew it, and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant’s name was Malchus. 043 JOH 018 011 Jesus therefore said unto Peter, Put up the sword into the sheath: the cup which the Father hath given me, shall I not drink it? 043 JOH 018 012 So the band and the chief captain, and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and bound him, 043 JOH 018 013 and led him to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was high priest that year. 043 JOH 018 014 Now Caiaphas was he which 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. Now that disciple was known unto the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest; 043 JOH 018 016 but Peter was standing at the door without. So the other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, went out and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter. 043 JOH 018 017 The maid therefore that kept the door saith unto Peter, Art thou also [one] of this man’s disciples? He saith, I am not. 043 JOH 018 018 Now the servants and the officers were standing [there], having made a fire of coals; for it was cold; and they were warming themselves: and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself. 043 JOH 018 019 The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his teaching. 043 JOH 018 020 Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world; I ever taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and in secret spake I nothing. 043 JOH 018 021 Why askest thou me? ask them that have heard [me], what I spake unto them: behold, these know the things which I said. 043 JOH 018 022 And when he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with 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 Annas therefore sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest. 043 JOH 018 025 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore unto him, Art thou also [one] of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not. 043 JOH 018 026 One of the servants of the high priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him? 043 JOH 018 027 Peter therefore denied again: and straightway the cock crew. 043 JOH 018 028 They lead Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the palace: and it was early; and they themselves entered not into the palace, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover. 043 JOH 018 029 Pilate therefore went out unto them, and saith, What accusation bring ye against this man? 043 JOH 018 030 They answered and said unto him, If this man were not an evil-doer, we should not have delivered him up unto thee. 043 JOH 018 031 Pilate therefore said unto them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death: 043 JOH 018 032 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should die. 043 JOH 018 033 Pilate therefore entered again into the palace, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews? 043 JOH 018 034 Jesus answered, Sayest thou this of thyself, or did others tell it thee concerning me? 043 JOH 018 035 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests delivered thee unto 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 hence. 043 JOH 018 037 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end have I been born, and to this end am I come into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. 043 JOH 018 038 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find no crime in him. 043 JOH 018 039 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews? 043 JOH 018 040 They cried out therefore 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 plaited a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a purple garment; 043 JOH 019 003 and they came unto him, and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they struck him with their hands. 043 JOH 019 004 And Pilate went out again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find no crime in him. 043 JOH 019 005 Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. And [Pilate] saith unto them, Behold, the man! 043 JOH 019 006 When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify [him], crucify [him]. Pilate saith unto them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I find no crime in him. 043 JOH 019 007 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. 043 JOH 019 008 When Pilate therefore heard this saying, he was the more afraid; 043 JOH 019 009 and he entered into the palace again, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. 043 JOH 019 010 Pilate therefore saith unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to release thee, and have power to crucify thee? 043 JOH 019 011 Jesus answered him, Thou wouldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath greater sin. 043 JOH 019 012 Upon this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar’s friend: every one that maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. 043 JOH 019 013 When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment-seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. 043 JOH 019 014 Now it was the Preparation of the passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he saith unto the Jews, Behold, your King! 043 JOH 019 015 They therefore cried out, Away with [him], away with [him], crucify him. Pilate saith unto 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 unto them to be crucified. 043 JOH 019 017 They took Jesus therefore: and he went out, bearing the cross for himself, unto the place called The place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha: 043 JOH 019 018 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. 043 JOH 019 019 And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 043 JOH 019 020 This title therefore read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, [and] in Latin, [and] in Greek. 043 JOH 019 021 The chief priests of the Jews therefore said 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 The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. 043 JOH 019 024 They said therefore one to another, 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 garments among them, And upon my vesture did they cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did. 043 JOH 019 025 But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 043 JOH 019 026 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold, thy son! 043 JOH 019 027 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold, thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own [home]. 043 JOH 019 028 After this Jesus, knowing that all things are now finished, that the scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst. 043 JOH 019 029 There was set there a vessel full of vinegar: so they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon hyssop, and brought 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 his spirit. 043 JOH 019 031 The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross upon the sabbath (for the day of that sabbath was a high [day]), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken away. 043 JOH 019 032 The soldiers therefore came, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him: 043 JOH 019 033 but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: 043 JOH 019 034 howbeit one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and straightway there came out blood and water. 043 JOH 019 035 And he that hath seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye also may believe. 043 JOH 019 036 For these things came to pass, that the scripture might 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 these things Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave [him] leave. He came therefore, and took away his body. 043 JOH 019 039 And there came also Nicodemus, he who at the first came to him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds [weight]. 043 JOH 019 040 So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom 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 tomb wherein was never man yet laid. 043 JOH 019 042 There then because of the Jews’ Preparation (for the tomb was nigh at hand) they laid Jesus. 043 JOH 020 001 Now on the first [day] of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, while it was yet dark, unto the tomb, and seeth the stone taken away from the tomb. 043 JOH 020 002 She runneth therefore, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him. 043 JOH 020 003 Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb. 043 JOH 020 004 And they ran both together: and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb; 043 JOH 020 005 and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths lying; yet entered he not in. 043 JOH 020 006 Simon Peter therefore also cometh, following him, and entered into the tomb; and he beholdeth the linen cloths lying, 043 JOH 020 007 and the napkin, that was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself. 043 JOH 020 008 Then entered in therefore the other disciple also, which came first to the tomb, 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 So the disciples went away again unto their own home. 043 JOH 020 011 But Mary was standing without at the tomb weeping: so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb; 043 JOH 020 012 and she beholdeth two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. 043 JOH 020 013 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. 043 JOH 020 014 When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and beholdeth Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. 043 JOH 020 015 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. 043 JOH 020 016 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turneth herself, and saith unto him in Hebrew, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. 043 JOH 020 017 Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God. 043 JOH 020 018 Mary Magdalene cometh and telleth the disciples, I have seen the Lord; and [how that] he had said these things unto her. 043 JOH 020 019 When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first [day] of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you. 043 JOH 020 020 And when he had said this, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord. 043 JOH 020 021 Jesus therefore said to them again, Peace [be] unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you. 043 JOH 020 022 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: 043 JOH 020 023 whose soever sins ye forgive, they are forgiven unto them; whose soever [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 unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe. 043 JOH 020 026 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace [be] unto you. 043 JOH 020 027 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands; and reach [hither] thy hand, and put it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. 043 JOH 020 028 Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. 043 JOH 020 029 Jesus saith unto him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and [yet] have believed. 043 JOH 020 030 Many other signs therefore did Jesus in the presence of the 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 in his name. 043 JOH 021 001 After these things Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and he manifested [himself] on this wise. 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 other of his disciples. 043 JOH 021 003 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also come with thee. They went forth, and entered into the boat; and that night they took nothing. 043 JOH 021 004 But when day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach: howbeit the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. 043 JOH 021 005 Jesus therefore saith unto them, Children, have ye aught to eat? They answered him, No. 043 JOH 021 006 And he said unto 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 That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his coat about him (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea. 043 JOH 021 008 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits off), dragging the net [full] of fishes. 043 JOH 021 009 So when they got out upon the land, they see a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread. 043 JOH 021 010 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now taken. 043 JOH 021 011 Simon Peter therefore went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, the net was not rent. 043 JOH 021 012 Jesus saith unto them, Come [and] break your fast. And none of the disciples durst inquire of him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. 043 JOH 021 013 Jesus cometh, and taketh the bread, and giveth them, and the fish likewise. 043 JOH 021 014 This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after that he was risen from the dead. 043 JOH 021 015 So when they had broken their fast, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, [son] of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. 043 JOH 021 016 He saith to him again a second time, Simon, [son] of John, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Tend my sheep. 043 JOH 021 017 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, [son] of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 043 JOH 021 018 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. 043 JOH 021 019 Now this he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. 043 JOH 021 020 Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned back on his breast at the supper, and said, Lord, who is he that betrayeth thee? 043 JOH 021 021 Peter therefore seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? 043 JOH 021 022 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what [is that] to thee? follow thou me. 043 JOH 021 023 This saying therefore went forth among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, that he should not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what [is that] to thee? 043 JOH 021 024 This is the disciple which beareth witness of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his witness is true. 043 JOH 021 025 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that should be written. # # BOOK 044 ACT Acts Acts 044 ACT 001 001 The former treatise I made, O Theophilus, concerning all that Jesus began both to do and to teach, 044 ACT 001 002 until the day in which he was received up, after that he had given commandment through the Holy Ghost unto the apostles whom he had chosen: 044 ACT 001 003 To whom he also shewed himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing unto them by the space of forty days, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God: 044 ACT 001 004 and, being assembled together with them, he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, [said he], ye heard from me: 044 ACT 001 005 For John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. 044 ACT 001 006 They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? 044 ACT 001 007 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath set within his own authority. 044 ACT 001 008 But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. 044 ACT 001 009 And when he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 044 ACT 001 010 And while they were looking stedfastly into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 044 ACT 001 011 which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye looking into heaven? this Jesus, which was received up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye beheld him going into heaven. 044 ACT 001 012 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is nigh unto Jerusalem, a sabbath day’s journey off. 044 ACT 001 013 And when they were come in, they went up into the upper chamber, where they were abiding; both Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James [the son] of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas [the son] of James. 044 ACT 001 014 These all with one accord continued stedfastly in prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. 044 ACT 001 015 And in these days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said (and there was a multitude of persons [gathered] together, about a hundred and twenty), 044 ACT 001 016 Brethren, it was needful that the scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost spake before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus. 044 ACT 001 017 For he was numbered among us, and received his portion in this ministry. 044 ACT 001 018 (Now this man obtained a field with the reward of his iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. 044 ACT 001 019 And it became known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch that in their language that field was called Akeldama, that is, The field of blood.) 044 ACT 001 020 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be made desolate, And let no man dwell therein: and, His office let another take. 044 ACT 001 021 Of the men therefore which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us, 044 ACT 001 022 beginning from the baptism of John, unto the day that he was received up from us, of these must one become a witness with us of his resurrection. 044 ACT 001 023 And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. 044 ACT 001 024 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew of these two the one whom thou hast chosen, 044 ACT 001 025 to take the place in this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place. 044 ACT 001 026 And they gave lots for them; 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 now come, they were all together in one place. 044 ACT 002 002 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 044 ACT 002 003 And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of fire; and it sat upon each one of them. 044 ACT 002 004 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 044 ACT 002 005 Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. 044 ACT 002 006 And when this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speaking in his own language. 044 ACT 002 007 And they were all amazed and marveled, saying, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 044 ACT 002 008 And how hear we, every man in our own language, wherein we were born? 044 ACT 002 009 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, in Judaea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia, 044 ACT 002 010 in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and sojourners from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 044 ACT 002 011 Cretans and Arabians, we do hear them speaking in our tongues the mighty 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 But others mocking said, They are filled with new wine. 044 ACT 002 014 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spake forth unto them, [saying], Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and give ear unto my words. 044 ACT 002 015 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose; seeing it is [but] the third hour of the day; 044 ACT 002 016 but this is that which hath been spoken by the prophet Joel; 044 ACT 002 017 And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour forth 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 Yea and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days Will I pour forth of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. 044 ACT 002 019 And I will shew wonders in the 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 the day of the Lord come, That great and notable [day]: 044 ACT 002 021 And it shall be, that whosoever 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 of God unto you by mighty works and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, even as ye yourselves know; 044 ACT 002 023 him, being delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye by the hand of lawless men did crucify and slay: 044 ACT 002 024 whom God raised up, having loosed the pangs of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. 044 ACT 002 025 For David saith concerning him, I beheld the Lord always before my face; For he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: 044 ACT 002 026 Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; Moreover my flesh also shall dwell in hope: 044 ACT 002 027 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in Hades, Neither wilt thou give thy Holy One to see corruption. (Hadēs g86) 044 ACT 002 028 Thou madest known unto me the ways of life; Thou shalt make me full of gladness with thy countenance. 044 ACT 002 029 Brethren, I may say unto you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us unto this day. 044 ACT 002 030 Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins he would set [one] upon his throne; 044 ACT 002 031 he foreseeing [this] spake of the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was he left in Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. (Hadēs g86) 044 ACT 002 032 This Jesus did God raise up, whereof we all are witnesses. 044 ACT 002 033 Being therefore by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath poured forth this, which ye see and hear. 044 ACT 002 034 For David ascended not into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 044 ACT 002 035 Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet. 044 ACT 002 036 Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified. 044 ACT 002 037 Now when they heard [this], they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do? 044 ACT 002 038 And Peter [said] unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 044 ACT 002 039 For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, [even] as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him. 044 ACT 002 040 And with many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, Save yourselves from this crooked generation. 044 ACT 002 041 They then that received his word were baptized: and there were added [unto them] in that day about three thousand souls. 044 ACT 002 042 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and the 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 common; 044 ACT 002 045 and they sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all, according as any man had need. 044 ACT 002 046 And day by day, continuing stedfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they did take 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 them day by day those that were being saved. 044 ACT 003 001 Now Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, [being] the ninth [hour]. 044 ACT 003 002 And a certain man that was lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the door 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 to receive an 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 unto them, expecting to receive something from them. 044 ACT 003 006 But Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but what I have, that give I thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk. 044 ACT 003 007 And he took him by the right hand, and raised him up: and immediately his feet and his ankle-bones received strength. 044 ACT 003 008 And leaping up, he stood, and began to walk; and he 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 took knowledge of him, that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him. 044 ACT 003 011 And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering. 044 ACT 003 012 And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this man? or why fasten ye your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him to walk? 044 ACT 003 013 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Servant Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied before the face of Pilate, when he had determined to release him. 044 ACT 003 014 But ye denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted unto you, 044 ACT 003 015 and killed the Prince of life; whom God raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. 044 ACT 003 016 And by faith in his name hath his name made this man strong, whom ye behold and know: yea, the faith which is through him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. 044 ACT 003 017 And now, brethren, I wot that in ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers. 044 ACT 003 018 But the things which God foreshewed by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer, he thus fulfilled. 044 ACT 003 019 Repent ye therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that so there may come seasons of refreshing from the presence of the Lord; 044 ACT 003 020 and that he may send the Christ who hath been appointed for you, [even] Jesus: 044 ACT 003 021 whom the heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, whereof God spake by the mouth of his holy prophets which have been since the world began. (aiōn g165) 044 ACT 003 022 Moses indeed said, A prophet shall the Lord God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like unto me; to him shall ye hearken in all things whatsoever he shall speak unto you. 044 ACT 003 023 And it shall be, that every soul, which shall not hearken to that prophet, shall be utterly destroyed from among the people. 044 ACT 003 024 Yea and all the prophets from Samuel and them that followed after, as many as have spoken, they also told of these days. 044 ACT 003 025 Ye are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with your fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 044 ACT 003 026 Unto you first God, having raised up his Servant, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities. 044 ACT 004 001 And as they spake unto the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them, 044 ACT 004 002 being sore troubled because they taught the people, and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. 044 ACT 004 003 And they laid hands on them, and put them in ward unto the morrow: for it was now eventide. 044 ACT 004 004 But many of them that heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand. 044 ACT 004 005 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem; 044 ACT 004 006 and Annas the high priest [was there], and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest. 044 ACT 004 007 And when they had set them in the midst, they inquired, By what power, or in what name, have ye done this? 044 ACT 004 008 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders, 044 ACT 004 009 if we this day are examined concerning a good deed done to an impotent man, by what means this man is made whole; 044 ACT 004 010 be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, [even] in him doth this man stand here before you whole. 044 ACT 004 011 He is the stone which was set at nought of you the builders, which was made the head of the corner. 044 ACT 004 012 And in none other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved. 044 ACT 004 013 Now when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. 044 ACT 004 014 And seeing the man which 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 wrought through them, is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it. 044 ACT 004 017 But that it spread no further among the people, let us threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. 044 ACT 004 018 And they called them, and charged them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. 044 ACT 004 019 But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you rather than unto God, judge ye: 044 ACT 004 020 for we cannot but speak the things which we saw and heard. 044 ACT 004 021 And they, when they had further threatened them, 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 more than forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was wrought. 044 ACT 004 023 And being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said unto them. 044 ACT 004 024 And they, when they heard it, lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, O Lord, thou that didst make the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is: 044 ACT 004 025 who by the Holy Ghost, [by] the mouth of our father David thy servant, didst say, Why did the Gentiles rage, And the peoples imagine vain things? 044 ACT 004 026 The kings of the earth set themselves in array, And the rulers were gathered together, Against the Lord, and against his Anointed: 044 ACT 004 027 for of a truth in this city against thy holy Servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together, 044 ACT 004 028 to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel foreordained to come to pass. 044 ACT 004 029 And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants to speak thy word with all boldness, 044 ACT 004 030 while thou stretchest forth thy hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of thy holy Servant Jesus. 044 ACT 004 031 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken wherein they were gathered together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness. 044 ACT 004 032 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and soul: and not one [of them] said that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. 044 ACT 004 033 And with great power gave the apostles their witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. 044 ACT 004 034 For neither was there among them any that lacked: 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 at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto each, according as any one had need. 044 ACT 004 036 And Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of exhortation), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race, 044 ACT 004 037 having a field, 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 being privy to 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 Ghost, and to keep back [part] of the price of the land? 044 ACT 005 004 Whiles it remained, did it not remain thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thy power? How is it that thou hast conceived this thing in thy heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 044 ACT 005 005 And Ananias hearing these words fell down and gave up the ghost: and great fear came upon all that heard it. 044 ACT 005 006 And the young men arose and wrapped him round, and they 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 unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yea, for so much. 044 ACT 005 009 But Peter [said] unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out. 044 ACT 005 010 And she fell down immediately at his feet, and gave up the ghost: and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband. 044 ACT 005 011 And great fear came upon the whole church, and upon all that 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 But of the rest durst no man join himself to them: howbeit 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 insomuch that they even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that, as Peter came by, at the least his shadow might overshadow some one of them. 044 ACT 005 016 And there also came together the multitude from the cities round about Jerusalem, bringing sick folk, and them that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one. 044 ACT 005 017 But the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy, 044 ACT 005 018 and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in public ward. 044 ACT 005 019 But an angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them out, and said, 044 ACT 005 020 Go ye, and stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this Life. 044 ACT 005 021 And when they heard [this], they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison-house to have them brought. 044 ACT 005 022 But the officers that came found them not in the prison; and they returned, and told, 044 ACT 005 023 saying, The prison-house we found shut in all safety, and the keepers standing at the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within. 044 ACT 005 024 Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were much perplexed concerning them whereunto this would grow. 044 ACT 005 025 And there came one and told them, Behold, the men whom ye put in the prison are in the temple standing and teaching the people. 044 ACT 005 026 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them, [but] without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be 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, We straitly charged you not to teach in this name: and behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us. 044 ACT 005 029 But Peter and the apostles answered and said, We must obey God rather than men. 044 ACT 005 030 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew, hanging him on a tree. 044 ACT 005 031 Him did God exalt with his right hand [to be] a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins. 044 ACT 005 032 And we are witnesses of these things; and [so is] the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. 044 ACT 005 033 But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were minded to slay them. 044 ACT 005 034 But there stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in honour of all the people, and commanded to put the men forth a little while. 044 ACT 005 035 And he said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves as touching these men, what ye are about to do. 044 ACT 005 036 For before these days rose up Theudas, giving himself out 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 dispersed, and came to nought. 044 ACT 005 037 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the enrollment, and drew away [some of the] people after him: he also perished; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad. 044 ACT 005 038 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will be overthrown: 044 ACT 005 039 but if it is of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them; lest haply ye be found even to be fighting against God. 044 ACT 005 040 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles unto them, they beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. 044 ACT 005 041 They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonour for the Name. 044 ACT 005 042 And every day, in the temple and at home, they ceased not to teach and to preach Jesus [as] the Christ. 044 ACT 006 001 Now in these days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a murmuring of the Grecian Jews against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. 044 ACT 006 002 And the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not fit that we should forsake the word of God, and serve tables. 044 ACT 006 003 Look ye out therefore, brethren, from among you seven men of good report, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. 044 ACT 006 004 But we will continue stedfastly in prayer, and in 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 exceedingly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. 044 ACT 006 008 And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought great wonders and signs among the people. 044 ACT 006 009 But there arose certain of them that were of the synagogue called [the synagogue] of the Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen. 044 ACT 006 010 And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spake. 044 ACT 006 011 Then they suborned men, which 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 seized him, and brought him into the council, 044 ACT 006 013 and set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak 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 unto us. 044 ACT 006 015 And all that sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel. 044 ACT 007 001 And the high priest said, Are these things so? 044 ACT 007 002 And he said, Brethren and fathers, hearken. The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran, 044 ACT 007 003 and said unto him, Get thee out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee. 044 ACT 007 004 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Haran: and from thence, when his father was dead, [God] removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell: 044 ACT 007 005 and he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: and he promised that he would give it to him in possession, and to his seed after him, when [as yet] he had no child. 044 ACT 007 006 And God spake on this wise, that his seed should sojourn in a strange land, and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil, four hundred years. 044 ACT 007 007 And the nation to which they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they 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 the twelve patriarchs. 044 ACT 007 009 And the patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt: and God was with him, 044 ACT 007 010 and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom before 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 Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance. 044 ACT 007 012 But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent forth our fathers the first time. 044 ACT 007 013 And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph’s race became manifest unto Pharaoh. 044 ACT 007 014 And Joseph sent, and called to him Jacob his father, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls. 044 ACT 007 015 And Jacob went down into Egypt; and he died, himself, and our fathers; 044 ACT 007 016 and they were carried over unto Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver of the sons of Hamor in Shechem. 044 ACT 007 017 But as the time of the promise drew nigh, which God vouchsafed unto Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt, 044 ACT 007 018 till there arose another king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph. 044 ACT 007 019 The same dealt subtilly with our race, and evil entreated our fathers, that they should cast out their babes to the end they might not live. 044 ACT 007 020 At which season Moses was born, and was exceeding fair; and he was nourished three months in his father’s house: 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 instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and he was mighty in his words and works. 044 ACT 007 023 But when he was well-nigh 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, smiting the Egyptian: 044 ACT 007 025 and he supposed that his brethren understood how that God by his hand was giving them deliverance; but they understood not. 044 ACT 007 026 And the day following he appeared unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one 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 Wouldest thou kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian yesterday? 044 ACT 007 029 And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons. 044 ACT 007 030 And when forty years were fulfilled, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush. 044 ACT 007 031 And when Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold, there came a voice of the Lord, 044 ACT 007 032 I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob. And Moses trembled, and durst not behold. 044 ACT 007 033 And the Lord said unto him, Loose the shoes from thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. 044 ACT 007 034 I have surely seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and have heard their groaning, and I 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? him hath God sent [to be] both a ruler and a deliverer with the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush. 044 ACT 007 036 This man led them forth, having wrought wonders and signs in Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years. 044 ACT 007 037 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like unto me. 044 ACT 007 038 This is he that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received living oracles to give unto us: 044 ACT 007 039 to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but thrust him from them, and turned back in their hearts unto Egypt, 044 ACT 007 040 saying unto Aaron, Make us gods which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, which led us forth out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. 044 ACT 007 041 And they made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands. 044 ACT 007 042 But God turned, and gave them up to serve the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, Did ye offer unto me slain beasts and sacrifices Forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel? 044 ACT 007 043 And ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, And the star of the god Rephan, The 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 the testimony in the wilderness, even as he appointed who spake unto Moses, that he should make it according to the figure that he had seen. 044 ACT 007 045 Which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they entered on the possession of the nations, which God thrust out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David; 044 ACT 007 046 who found favour in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob. 044 ACT 007 047 But Solomon built him a house. 044 ACT 007 048 Howbeit the Most High dwelleth not in [houses] made with hands; as saith the prophet, 044 ACT 007 049 The heaven is my throne, And the earth the footstool of my feet: What manner of house will ye build me? saith the Lord: Or what is the place of my rest? 044 ACT 007 050 Did not my hand make all these things? 044 ACT 007 051 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. 044 ACT 007 052 Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? and they killed them which shewed before of the coming of the Righteous One; of whom ye have now become betrayers and murderers; 044 ACT 007 053 ye who received the law as it was ordained by angels, and kept it not. 044 ACT 007 054 Now 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 Ghost, looked up stedfastly 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 But they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord; 044 ACT 007 058 and they cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul. 044 ACT 007 059 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon [the Lord], 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 unto his death. And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church which was in Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles. 044 ACT 008 002 And devout men buried Stephen, and made great lamentation over him. 044 ACT 008 003 But Saul laid waste the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison. 044 ACT 008 004 They therefore that were scattered abroad went about preaching the word. 044 ACT 008 005 And Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed unto them the Christ. 044 ACT 008 006 And the multitudes gave heed with one accord unto the things that were spoken by Philip, when they heard, and saw the signs which he did. 044 ACT 008 007 For [from] many of those which had unclean spirits, they came out, crying with a loud voice: and many that were palsied, and that were lame, were healed. 044 ACT 008 008 And there was much joy in that city. 044 ACT 008 009 But there was a certain man, Simon by name, which beforetime in the city used sorcery, and amazed the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: 044 ACT 008 010 to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is that power of God which is called Great. 044 ACT 008 011 And they gave heed to him, because that of long time he had amazed them with his sorceries. 044 ACT 008 012 But when they believed Philip preaching good tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. 044 ACT 008 013 And Simon also himself believed: and being baptized, he continued with Philip; and beholding signs and great miracles wrought, he was amazed. 044 ACT 008 014 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 044 ACT 008 015 who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: 044 ACT 008 016 for as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they had been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. 044 ACT 008 017 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. 044 ACT 008 018 Now when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, 044 ACT 008 019 saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. 044 ACT 008 020 But Peter said unto him, Thy silver perish with thee, because thou hast thought to obtain the gift of God with money. 044 ACT 008 021 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right before God. 044 ACT 008 022 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if perhaps the thought of thy heart shall be forgiven thee. 044 ACT 008 023 For I see that thou art in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity. 044 ACT 008 024 And Simon answered and said, Pray ye for me to the Lord, that none of the things which ye have spoken come upon me. 044 ACT 008 025 They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans. 044 ACT 008 026 But an angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza: the same is desert. 044 ACT 008 027 And he arose and went: and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem for to worship; 044 ACT 008 028 and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah. 044 ACT 008 029 And the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. 044 ACT 008 030 And Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? 044 ACT 008 031 And he said, How can I, except some one shall guide me? And he besought Philip to come up and sit with him. 044 ACT 008 032 Now the place of the scripture which he was reading was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, So he openeth not his mouth: 044 ACT 008 033 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: His generation who shall declare? 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? 044 ACT 008 035 And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this scripture, preached unto him Jesus. 044 ACT 008 036 And as they went on the way, they came unto a certain water; and the eunuch saith, Behold, [here is] water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 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 came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing. 044 ACT 008 040 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea. 044 ACT 009 001 But Saul, yet breathing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, 044 ACT 009 002 and asked of him letters to Damascus unto the synagogues, that if he found any that were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. 044 ACT 009 003 And as he journeyed, it came to pass that he drew nigh unto Damascus: and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven: 044 ACT 009 004 and he fell upon the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 044 ACT 009 005 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he [said], I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: 044 ACT 009 006 but rise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. 044 ACT 009 007 And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but beholding no man. 044 ACT 009 008 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. 044 ACT 009 009 And he was three days without sight, and did neither eat nor drink. 044 ACT 009 010 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said unto him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I [am here], Lord. 044 ACT 009 011 And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus: for behold, he prayeth; 044 ACT 009 012 and he hath seen a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight. 044 ACT 009 013 But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much evil he did to thy saints at Jerusalem: 044 ACT 009 014 and here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call upon thy name. 044 ACT 009 015 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles and kings, and the children of Israel: 044 ACT 009 016 for I will shew him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake. 044 ACT 009 017 And Ananias departed, and entered into the house; and laying his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, [even] Jesus, who appeared unto thee in the way which thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. 044 ACT 009 018 And straightway there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight; and he arose and was baptized; 044 ACT 009 019 and he took food and was strengthened. And he was certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus. 044 ACT 009 020 And straightway in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, that he is the Son of God. 044 ACT 009 021 And all that heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this he that in Jerusalem made havock of them which called on this name? and he had come hither for this intent, that he might bring them bound before the chief priests. 044 ACT 009 022 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ. 044 ACT 009 023 And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him: 044 ACT 009 024 but their plot became known to Saul. And they watched the gates also day and night that they might kill him: 044 ACT 009 025 but his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket. 044 ACT 009 026 And when he was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple. 044 ACT 009 027 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus. 044 ACT 009 028 And he was with them going in and going out at Jerusalem, 044 ACT 009 029 preaching boldly in the name of the Lord: and he spake and disputed against the Grecian Jews; but they went about to kill him. 044 ACT 009 030 And when the brethren knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus. 044 ACT 009 031 So the church throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified; and, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, was multiplied. 044 ACT 009 032 And it came to pass, as Peter went throughout all parts, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda. 044 ACT 009 033 And there he found a certain man named AEneas, which had kept his bed eight years; for he was palsied. 044 ACT 009 034 And Peter said unto him, AEneas, Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And straightway he arose. 044 ACT 009 035 And all that dwelt at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord. 044 ACT 009 036 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which 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 fell sick, and died: and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper chamber. 044 ACT 009 038 And as Lydda was nigh unto Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men unto him, entreating him, Delay not to come on unto us. 044 ACT 009 039 And Peter arose and went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them. 044 ACT 009 040 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning to the body, he 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 raised her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive. 044 ACT 009 042 And it became known throughout all Joppa: and many believed on the Lord. 044 ACT 009 043 And it came to pass, that he abode many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner. 044 ACT 010 001 Now [there was] a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, 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 alway. 044 ACT 010 003 He saw in a vision openly, as it were about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in unto him, and saying to him, Cornelius. 044 ACT 010 004 And he, fastening his eyes upon him, and being affrighted, said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are gone up for a memorial before God. 044 ACT 010 005 And now send men to Joppa, and fetch one Simon, who is surnamed Peter: 044 ACT 010 006 he lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. 044 ACT 010 007 And when the angel that spake unto him was departed, he called two of his household-servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually; 044 ACT 010 008 and having rehearsed all things unto them, he sent them to Joppa. 044 ACT 010 009 Now on the morrow, as they were on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour: 044 ACT 010 010 and he became hungry, and desired to eat: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance; 044 ACT 010 011 and he beholdeth the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet, let down by four corners upon the earth: 044 ACT 010 012 wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts and creeping things of the earth and fowls of the heaven. 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 anything that is common and unclean. 044 ACT 010 015 And a voice [came] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common. 044 ACT 010 016 And this was done thrice: and straightway the vessel was received up into heaven. 044 ACT 010 017 Now while Peter was much perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men that were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate, 044 ACT 010 018 and called and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodging there. 044 ACT 010 019 And while Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee. 044 ACT 010 020 But arise, and get thee down, and go with them, nothing doubting: for I have sent them. 044 ACT 010 021 And Peter went down to the men, and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come? 044 ACT 010 022 And they said, Cornelius a centurion, a righteous man and one that feareth God, and well reported of by all the nation of the Jews, was warned [of God] by a holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words from thee. 044 ACT 010 023 So he called them in and lodged them. And on the morrow he arose and went forth with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him. 044 ACT 010 024 And on the morrow they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his kinsmen and his near friends. 044 ACT 010 025 And when it came to pass that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. 044 ACT 010 026 But Peter raised 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 findeth many come together: 044 ACT 010 028 and he said unto them, Ye yourselves know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to join himself or come unto one of another nation; and [yet] unto me hath God shewed that I should not call any man common or unclean: 044 ACT 010 029 wherefore also I came without gainsaying, when I was sent for. I ask therefore with what intent ye sent for me. 044 ACT 010 030 And Cornelius said, Four days ago, until this hour, I was keeping the ninth hour of prayer in my house; and behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel, 044 ACT 010 031 and saith, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God. 044 ACT 010 032 Send therefore to Joppa, and call unto thee Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side. 044 ACT 010 033 Forthwith therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to hear all things that have been commanded thee of the Lord. 044 ACT 010 034 And Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a 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 acceptable to him. 044 ACT 010 036 The word which he sent unto the children of Israel, preaching good tidings of peace by Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all)— 044 ACT 010 037 that saying ye yourselves know, which was published throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; 044 ACT 010 038 [even] Jesus of Nazareth, how that God anointed him with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. 044 ACT 010 039 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom also they slew, hanging him on a tree. 044 ACT 010 040 Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest, 044 ACT 010 041 not to all the people, but unto witnesses that were chosen before of God, [even] to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. 044 ACT 010 042 And he charged us to preach unto the people, and to testify that this is he which is ordained of God [to be] the Judge of quick and dead. 044 ACT 010 043 To him bear all the prophets witness, that through his name every one that believeth on him shall receive remission of sins. 044 ACT 010 044 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 044 ACT 010 045 And they of the circumcision which believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 044 ACT 010 046 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, 044 ACT 010 047 Can any man forbid the water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? 044 ACT 010 048 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days. 044 ACT 011 001 Now the apostles and the brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. 044 ACT 011 002 And when Peter was come up 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 began, and expounded [the matter] unto them in order, saying, 044 ACT 011 005 I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even unto me: 044 ACT 011 006 upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw the fourfooted beasts of the earth and wild beasts and creeping things and fowls of the heaven. 044 ACT 011 007 And I heard also a voice saying unto me, Rise, Peter; kill and eat. 044 ACT 011 008 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath ever entered into my mouth. 044 ACT 011 009 But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common. 044 ACT 011 010 And this was done thrice: and all were drawn up again into heaven. 044 ACT 011 011 And behold, forthwith three men stood before the house in which we were, having been sent from Caesarea unto me. 044 ACT 011 012 And the Spirit bade me go with them, making no distinction. And these six brethren also accompanied me; and we entered into the man’s house: 044 ACT 011 013 and he told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying, Send to Joppa, and fetch Simon, whose surname is Peter; 044 ACT 011 014 who shall speak unto thee words, whereby thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house. 044 ACT 011 015 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, even as on us at the beginning. 044 ACT 011 016 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. 044 ACT 011 017 If then God gave unto them the like gift as [he did] also unto us, when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God? 044 ACT 011 018 And when they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then to the Gentiles also hath God granted repentance unto life. 044 ACT 011 019 They therefore that were scattered abroad upon the tribulation that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none save only to Jews. 044 ACT 011 020 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Greeks also, preaching the Lord Jesus. 044 ACT 011 021 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number that believed turned unto the Lord. 044 ACT 011 022 And the report concerning them came to the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas as far as Antioch: 044 ACT 011 023 who, when he was come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad; and he exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord: 044 ACT 011 024 for he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord. 044 ACT 011 025 And he went forth to Tarsus to seek for Saul: 044 ACT 011 026 and when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that even for a whole year they were gathered together with the church, and taught much people; and that the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. 044 ACT 011 027 Now in these days there came down prophets from Jerusalem unto 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 over all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius. 044 ACT 011 029 And the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren that dwelt in Judaea: 044 ACT 011 030 which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul. 044 ACT 012 001 Now about that time Herod the king put 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 when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. And [those] were the days of unleavened bread. 044 ACT 012 004 And when he had taken him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him; intending after the Passover to bring him forth to the people. 044 ACT 012 005 Peter therefore was kept in the prison: but prayer was made earnestly of the church unto God for him. 044 ACT 012 006 And when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and guards before the door kept the prison. 044 ACT 012 007 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shined in the cell: and he smote Peter on the side, and awoke him, saying, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. 044 ACT 012 008 And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And he did so. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. 044 ACT 012 009 And he went out, and followed; and he wist not that it was true which was done by the angel, but thought he saw a vision. 044 ACT 012 010 And when they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth into the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and straightway the angel departed from him. 044 ACT 012 011 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a truth, that the Lord hath sent forth his angel and 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 and were praying. 044 ACT 012 013 And when he 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 joy, but ran in, and told that Peter stood before the gate. 044 ACT 012 015 And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she confidently affirmed that it was even so. And they said, It is his angel. 044 ACT 012 016 But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed. 044 ACT 012 017 But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him forth out of the prison. And he said, Tell these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went to 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 guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and tarried there. 044 ACT 012 020 Now he was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: and they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was fed from the king’s country. 044 ACT 012 021 And upon a set day Herod arrayed himself in royal apparel, and sat on the throne, and made an oration unto them. 044 ACT 012 022 And the people shouted, [saying], The voice of a god, and not of a man. 044 ACT 012 023 And immediately an angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost. 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 ministration, taking with them John whose surname was Mark. 044 ACT 013 001 Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was [there], prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen the foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 044 ACT 013 002 And as they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. 044 ACT 013 003 Then, 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 Ghost, went down to Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus. 044 ACT 013 005 And when they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John as their attendant. 044 ACT 013 006 And when they had gone through the whole island unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-Jesus; 044 ACT 013 007 which was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. The same called unto him Barnabas and Saul, and sought 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 aside the proconsul from the faith. 044 ACT 013 009 But Saul, who is also [called] Paul, filled with the Holy Ghost, fastened his eyes on him, 044 ACT 013 010 and said, O full of all guile and all villany, thou son 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 proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord. 044 ACT 013 013 Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem. 044 ACT 013 014 But they, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia; and they 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 unto them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on. 044 ACT 013 016 And Paul stood up, and beckoning with the hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, hearken. 044 ACT 013 017 The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they sojourned in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm led he them forth out of it. 044 ACT 013 018 And for about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness. 044 ACT 013 019 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave [them] their land for an inheritance, for about four hundred and fifty years: 044 ACT 013 020 and after these things he gave [them] judges until Samuel the prophet. 044 ACT 013 021 And afterward they asked for a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for the space of forty years. 044 ACT 013 022 And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom also he bare witness, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who shall do all my will. 044 ACT 013 023 Of this man’s seed hath God according to promise brought unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus; 044 ACT 013 024 when John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 044 ACT 013 025 And as John was fulfilling his course, he said, What suppose ye that I am? I am not [he]. But behold, there cometh one after me, the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to unloose. 044 ACT 013 026 Brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us is the word of this salvation sent forth. 044 ACT 013 027 For they that dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled [them] by condemning [him]. 044 ACT 013 028 And though they found no cause of death [in him], yet asked they of Pilate that he should be slain. 044 ACT 013 029 And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb. 044 ACT 013 030 But God raised him from the dead: 044 ACT 013 031 and he was seen for many days of them that came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses unto the people. 044 ACT 013 032 And we bring you good tidings of the promise made unto the fathers, 044 ACT 013 033 how that God hath fulfilled the same unto our children, in that he raised up Jesus; as also it is 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 up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he hath spoken on this wise, I will give you the holy and sure [blessings] of David. 044 ACT 013 035 Because he saith also in another [psalm], Thou wilt not give thy Holy One to see corruption. 044 ACT 013 036 For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption: 044 ACT 013 037 but he whom God raised up saw no corruption. 044 ACT 013 038 Be it known unto you therefore, brethren, that through this man is proclaimed unto you remission of sins: 044 ACT 013 039 and by him every one that believeth is 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 in no wise believe, if one declare it unto you. 044 ACT 013 042 And as they went out, they besought that these words might be spoken to them the next sabbath. 044 ACT 013 043 Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God. 044 ACT 013 044 And the next sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God. 044 ACT 013 045 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed. 044 ACT 013 046 And Paul and Barnabas spake out boldly, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you. Seeing ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal 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 for a light of the Gentiles, That thou shouldest be for salvation unto the uttermost part of the earth. 044 ACT 013 048 And as the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166) 044 ACT 013 049 And the word of the Lord was spread abroad throughout all the region. 044 ACT 013 050 But the Jews urged on the devout women of honourable estate, and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their borders. 044 ACT 013 051 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium. 044 ACT 013 052 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost. 044 ACT 014 001 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed. 044 ACT 014 002 But the Jews that were disobedient stirred up the souls of the Gentiles, and made them evil affected against the brethren. 044 ACT 014 003 Long time therefore they tarried [there] speaking boldly in the Lord, which bare witness unto the word of his grace, granting 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 made an onset both of the Gentiles and of the Jews with their rulers, to entreat them shamefully, and to stone them, 044 ACT 014 006 they became aware of it, and fled unto the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the region round about: 044 ACT 014 007 and there they preached the gospel. 044 ACT 014 008 And at Lystra there sat a certain man, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked. 044 ACT 014 009 The same heard Paul speaking: who, fastening his eyes upon him, and seeing that he had faith to be made whole, 044 ACT 014 010 said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped up and walked. 044 ACT 014 011 And when the multitudes saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are 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 And the priest of Jupiter whose [temple] was before the city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the multitudes. 044 ACT 014 014 But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they rent their garments, and sprang forth among the multitude, crying out 044 ACT 014 015 and saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and bring you good tidings, that ye should turn from these vain things unto the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is: 044 ACT 014 016 who in the generations gone by suffered all the nations to walk in their own ways. 044 ACT 014 017 And yet he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave you from heaven rains and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness. 044 ACT 014 018 And with these sayings scarce restrained they the multitudes from doing sacrifice unto them. 044 ACT 014 019 But there came Jews thither from Antioch and Iconium: and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead. 044 ACT 014 020 But as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and entered into the city: and on the morrow he went forth with Barnabas to Derbe. 044 ACT 014 021 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned 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 through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God. 044 ACT 014 023 And when they had appointed for them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed. 044 ACT 014 024 And they passed through Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia. 044 ACT 014 025 And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia; 044 ACT 014 026 and thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled. 044 ACT 014 027 And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all things that God had done with them, and how that he had opened a door of faith unto the Gentiles. 044 ACT 014 028 And they tarried no little time with the disciples. 044 ACT 015 001 And certain men came down from Judaea and taught the brethren, [saying], Except ye be circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye cannot be saved. 044 ACT 015 002 And when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and questioning with them, [the brethren] appointed that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question. 044 ACT 015 003 They therefore, being brought on their way by the church, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren. 044 ACT 015 004 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church and the apostles and the elders, and they rehearsed all things that God had done with them. 044 ACT 015 005 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying, It is needful to circumcise them, and to charge them to keep the law of Moses. 044 ACT 015 006 And the apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider of this matter. 044 ACT 015 007 And when there had been much questioning, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. 044 ACT 015 008 And God, which knoweth the heart, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; 044 ACT 015 009 and he made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith. 044 ACT 015 010 Now therefore why tempt ye God, that ye should 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 we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in like manner as they. 044 ACT 015 012 And all the multitude kept silence; and they hearkened unto Barnabas and Paul rehearsing what signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them. 044 ACT 015 013 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Brethren, hearken unto me: 044 ACT 015 014 Symeon hath rehearsed how first God did visit the Gentiles, to take out of 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 these things I will return, And I will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen; And I will build again the ruins thereof, And I will set it up: 044 ACT 015 017 That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, And all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, 044 ACT 015 018 Saith the Lord, who maketh these things known from the beginning of the world. (aiōn g165) 044 ACT 015 019 Wherefore my judgment is, that we trouble not them which from among the Gentiles turn to God; 044 ACT 015 020 but that we write unto them, that they abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood. 044 ACT 015 021 For Moses from generations of old hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath. 044 ACT 015 022 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; [namely], Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren: 044 ACT 015 023 and they wrote [thus] by them, The apostles and the elder brethren unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greeting: 044 ACT 015 024 Forasmuch as we have heard that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls; to whom we gave no commandment; 044 ACT 015 025 it seemed good unto us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 044 ACT 015 026 men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 044 ACT 015 027 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also shall tell you the same things by word of mouth. 044 ACT 015 028 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; 044 ACT 015 029 that ye abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which if ye keep yourselves, it shall be well with you. Fare ye well. 044 ACT 015 030 So they, when they were dismissed, came down to Antioch; and having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle. 044 ACT 015 031 And when they had read it, they rejoiced for the consolation. 044 ACT 015 032 And Judas and Silas, being themselves also prophets, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them. 044 ACT 015 033 And after they had spent some time [there], they were dismissed in peace from the brethren unto those that had sent them forth. 044 ACT 015 035 But Paul and Barnabas tarried in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also. 044 ACT 015 036 And after some days Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us return now and visit the brethren in every city wherein we proclaimed the word of the Lord, [and see] how they fare. 044 ACT 015 037 And Barnabas was minded to take with them John also, who was called Mark. 044 ACT 015 038 But Paul thought not good to take with them him who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work. 044 ACT 015 039 And there arose a sharp contention, so that they parted asunder one from the other, and Barnabas took Mark with him, and sailed away unto Cyprus; 044 ACT 015 040 but Paul chose Silas, and went forth, being commended by the brethren to the grace of the Lord. 044 ACT 015 041 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches. 044 ACT 016 001 And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess which believed; but his father was a Greek. 044 ACT 016 002 The same 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 he took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts: for they all knew that his father was a Greek. 044 ACT 016 004 And as they went on their way through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, which had been ordained of the apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem. 044 ACT 016 005 So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily. 044 ACT 016 006 And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden of the Holy Ghost to speak the word in Asia; 044 ACT 016 007 and when they were come over against Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not; 044 ACT 016 008 and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas. 044 ACT 016 009 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There was a man of Macedonia standing, beseeching him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us. 044 ACT 016 010 And when he had seen the vision, straightway we sought to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us for to preach the gospel unto them. 044 ACT 016 011 Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis; 044 ACT 016 012 and from thence to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a [Roman] colony: and we were in this city tarrying certain days. 044 ACT 016 013 And on the sabbath day we went forth without the gate by a river side, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which were come together. 044 ACT 016 014 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, to give heed unto 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 were going to the place of prayer, that a certain maid having a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying. 044 ACT 016 017 The same following after Paul and us cried out, saying, These men are servants of the Most High God, which proclaim unto you the way of salvation. 044 ACT 016 018 And this she did for many days. But Paul, being sore troubled, turned and said to the spirit, I charge thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out that very hour. 044 ACT 016 019 But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers, 044 ACT 016 020 and when they had brought them unto the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city, 044 ACT 016 021 and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to observe, being Romans. 044 ACT 016 022 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent their garments off them, and commanded to beat them with rods. 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, cast them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. 044 ACT 016 025 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns unto God, and the prisoners were listening to them; 044 ACT 016 026 and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison-house were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened; and every one’s bands were loosed. 044 ACT 016 027 And the jailor being roused out of sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword, and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. 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 And he called for lights, and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, 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, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house. 044 ACT 016 032 And they spake the word of the Lord unto him, with 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, immediately. 044 ACT 016 034 And he brought them up into his house, and set meat before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, having believed in God. 044 ACT 016 035 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go. 044 ACT 016 036 And the jailor reported the words to Paul, [saying], The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore come forth, and go in peace. 044 ACT 016 037 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison; and do they now cast us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out. 044 ACT 016 038 And the serjeants reported these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans; 044 ACT 016 039 and they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they asked them to go away from 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 custom was, went in unto them, and for three sabbath days reasoned with them from the scriptures, 044 ACT 017 003 opening and alleging, that it behoved the Christ to suffer, and to rise again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom, [said he], I proclaim unto you, is the Christ. 044 ACT 017 004 And some of them were persuaded, 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, being moved with jealousy, took unto them certain vile fellows of the rabble, and gathering a crowd, set the city on an uproar; and assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them forth to the people. 044 ACT 017 006 And when they found them not, they dragged Jason and certain brethren before the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also; 044 ACT 017 007 whom Jason hath received: and these all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, [one] Jesus. 044 ACT 017 008 And they troubled the multitude and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things. 044 ACT 017 009 And when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go. 044 ACT 017 010 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Beroea: who when they were come thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 044 ACT 017 011 Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the scriptures daily, whether these things were so. 044 ACT 017 012 Many of them therefore believed; also of the Greek women of honourable estate, and of men, not a few. 044 ACT 017 013 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed of Paul at Beroea also, they came thither likewise, stirring up and troubling the multitudes. 044 ACT 017 014 And then immediately the brethren sent forth Paul to go as far as to the sea: and Silas and Timothy abode there still. 044 ACT 017 015 But they that conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timothy that they should come to him with all speed, they departed. 044 ACT 017 016 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him, as he beheld the city full of idols. 044 ACT 017 017 So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with them that met with him. 044 ACT 017 018 And certain also of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him. And some said, What would this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached Jesus and the resurrection. 044 ACT 017 019 And they took hold of him, and brought him unto the Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new teaching is, which is spoken by thee? 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 (Now all the Athenians and the strangers sojourning there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.) 044 ACT 017 022 And Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus, and said, Ye men of Athens, in all things I perceive that ye are somewhat superstitious. 044 ACT 017 023 For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. What therefore ye worship in ignorance, this set I forth unto you. 044 ACT 017 024 The God that made the world and all things therein, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 044 ACT 017 025 neither is he served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 044 ACT 017 026 and he made of one every nation of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, having determined [their] appointed seasons, and the bounds of their habitation; 044 ACT 017 027 that they should seek God, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he is not far from each one of us: 044 ACT 017 028 for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain even 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 unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and device of man. 044 ACT 017 030 The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked; but now he commandeth men that they should all everywhere repent: 044 ACT 017 031 inasmuch as he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. 044 ACT 017 032 Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, We will hear thee concerning this yet again. 044 ACT 017 033 Thus Paul went out from among them. 044 ACT 017 034 But certain men clave unto him, and believed: among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them. 044 ACT 018 001 After these things he departed from Athens, and came to Corinth. 044 ACT 018 002 And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome: and he came unto them; 044 ACT 018 003 and because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and they wrought; for by their trade they were tentmakers. 044 ACT 018 004 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks. 044 ACT 018 005 But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was constrained by the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ. 044 ACT 018 006 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook out his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood [be] upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles. 044 ACT 018 007 And he departed thence, and went into the house of a certain man named Titus Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue. 044 ACT 018 008 And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized. 044 ACT 018 009 And the Lord said unto 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 set on thee to harm thee: for I have much people in this city. 044 ACT 018 011 And he dwelt [there] a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. 044 ACT 018 012 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul, and brought him before the judgment-seat, 044 ACT 018 013 saying, This man persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law. 044 ACT 018 014 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked villany, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you: 044 ACT 018 015 but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves; I am not minded to be a judge of these matters. 044 ACT 018 016 And he drave them from the judgment-seat. 044 ACT 018 017 And they all laid hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of these things. 044 ACT 018 018 And Paul, having tarried after this yet many days, took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchreae: for he had a vow. 044 ACT 018 019 And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews. 044 ACT 018 020 And when they asked him to abide a longer time, he consented not; 044 ACT 018 021 but taking his leave of them, and saying, I will return again unto you, if God will, he set sail from Ephesus. 044 ACT 018 022 And when he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and saluted the church, and went down to Antioch. 044 ACT 018 023 And having spent some time [there], he departed, and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia in order, stablishing all the disciples. 044 ACT 018 024 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, a learned man, came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in the scriptures. 044 ACT 018 025 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spake and taught carefully the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John: 044 ACT 018 026 and he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more carefully. 044 ACT 018 027 And when he was minded to pass over into Achaia, the brethren encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him: and when he was come, he helped them much which had believed through grace: 044 ACT 018 028 for he powerfully confuted the Jews, [and that] publicly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ. 044 ACT 019 001 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper country came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples: 044 ACT 019 002 and he said unto them, Did ye receive the Holy Ghost when ye believed? And they [said] unto him, Nay, we did not so much as hear whether the Holy Ghost was [given]. 044 ACT 019 003 And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John’s baptism. 044 ACT 019 004 And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Jesus. 044 ACT 019 005 And 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 Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. 044 ACT 019 007 And they were in all about twelve men. 044 ACT 019 008 And he entered into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, reasoning and persuading [as to] the things concerning the kingdom of God. 044 ACT 019 009 But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus. 044 ACT 019 010 And this continued for the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks. 044 ACT 019 011 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: 044 ACT 019 012 insomuch that unto the sick were carried away from his body handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out. 044 ACT 019 013 But certain also of the strolling Jews, exorcists, took upon them to name over them which had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. 044 ACT 019 014 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, which did this. 044 ACT 019 015 And the evil spirit answered and said unto them, 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 mastered both of them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 044 ACT 019 017 And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, that dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. 044 ACT 019 018 Many also of them that had believed came, confessing, and declaring their deeds. 044 ACT 019 019 And not a few of them that practised curious arts brought their books together, and burned them in the sight of all: 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 the Lord and prevailed. 044 ACT 019 021 Now 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 And having sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while. 044 ACT 019 023 And about that time there arose no small stir concerning the Way. 044 ACT 019 024 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines of Diana, brought no little business unto the craftsmen; 044 ACT 019 025 whom he gathered together, with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this business we have our wealth. 044 ACT 019 026 And ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands: 044 ACT 019 027 and not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana be made of no account, and that she should even be deposed from her magnificence, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth. 044 ACT 019 028 And when they heard this, they were filled with wrath, and cried out, saying, Great [is] Diana of the Ephesians. 044 ACT 019 029 And the city was filled with the confusion: and they rushed with one accord into the theatre, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel. 044 ACT 019 030 And when Paul was minded to enter in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not. 044 ACT 019 031 And certain also of the chief officers of Asia, being his friends, sent unto him, and besought him not to adventure himself into the theatre. 044 ACT 019 032 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was in confusion; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together. 044 ACT 019 033 And they brought Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made a defence unto the people. 044 ACT 019 034 But when they perceived 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 multitude, he saith, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there who knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is temple-keeper of the great Diana, and of the [image] which fell down from Jupiter? 044 ACT 019 036 Seeing then that these things cannot be gainsaid, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rash. 044 ACT 019 037 For ye have brought [hither] these men, which are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess. 044 ACT 019 038 If therefore Demetrius, and the craftsmen that are with him, have a matter against any man, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another. 044 ACT 019 039 But if ye seek anything about other matters, it shall be settled in the regular assembly. 044 ACT 019 040 For indeed we are in danger to be accused concerning this day’s riot, there being no cause [for it]: and as touching it we shall not be able to give account of this concourse. 044 ACT 019 041 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly. 044 ACT 020 001 And after the uproar was ceased, Paul having sent for the disciples and exhorted them, took leave of them, and departed for to go into Macedonia. 044 ACT 020 002 And when he had gone through those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece. 044 ACT 020 003 And when he had spent three months [there], and a plot was laid against him by the Jews, as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia. 044 ACT 020 004 And there accompanied him as far as Asia Sopater of Beroea, [the son] of Pyrrhus; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus. 044 ACT 020 005 But these had gone before, and were waiting for us at Troas. 044 ACT 020 006 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we tarried seven days. 044 ACT 020 007 And upon the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, intending to depart on the morrow; and prolonged his speech until midnight. 044 ACT 020 008 And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where we were gathered together. 044 ACT 020 009 And there sat in the window a certain young man named Eutychus, borne down with deep sleep; and as Paul discoursed yet longer, being borne down by his sleep he fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead. 044 ACT 020 010 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Make ye no ado; for his life is in him. 044 ACT 020 011 And when he was gone up, and had broken the bread, and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even till break of day, so he departed. 044 ACT 020 012 And they brought the lad alive, and were not a little comforted. 044 ACT 020 013 But we, going before to the ship, set sail for Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, intending himself to go by land. 044 ACT 020 014 And when he met us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene. 044 ACT 020 015 And sailing from thence, we came the following day over against Chios; and the next day we touched at Samos; and the day after we came to Miletus. 044 ACT 020 016 For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, 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 to him the elders of the church. 044 ACT 020 018 And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, after what manner I was with you all the time, 044 ACT 020 019 serving the Lord with all lowliness of mind, and with tears, and with trials which befell me by the plots of the Jews: 044 ACT 020 020 how that I shrank not from declaring unto you anything that was profitable, and teaching you publicly, and from house to house, 044 ACT 020 021 testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. 044 ACT 020 022 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: 044 ACT 020 023 save that the Holy Ghost testifieth unto me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. 044 ACT 020 024 But I hold not my life of any account, as dear unto myself, so that I may accomplish my course, and the ministry which I 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 went about preaching the kingdom, shall see my face no more. 044 ACT 020 026 Wherefore I testify unto you this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. 044 ACT 020 027 For I shrank not from declaring unto you the whole counsel of God. 044 ACT 020 028 Take heed unto yourselves, and to all the flock, in the which the Holy Ghost hath made you bishops, to feed the church of God, which he purchased with his own blood. 044 ACT 020 029 I know that after my departing grievous wolves shall enter in among you, not sparing the flock; 044 ACT 020 030 and from among your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. 044 ACT 020 031 Wherefore watch ye, remembering that by the space of three years I ceased not to admonish every one night and day with tears. 044 ACT 020 032 And now I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build [you] up, and to give [you] the inheritance among all them that are sanctified. 044 ACT 020 033 I coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel. 044 ACT 020 034 Ye yourselves know that these hands ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. 044 ACT 020 035 In all things I gave you an example, how that so labouring ye ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself 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 sore, and fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him, 044 ACT 020 038 Sorrowing most of all for the word which he had spoken, that they should behold his face no more. And they brought him on his way unto the ship. 044 ACT 021 001 And when it came to pass that we were parted from them, and had set sail, we came with a straight course unto Cos, and the next day unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara: 044 ACT 021 002 and having found a ship crossing over unto Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail. 044 ACT 021 003 And when we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed unto Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden. 044 ACT 021 004 And having found the disciples, we tarried there seven days: and these said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not set foot in Jerusalem. 044 ACT 021 005 And when it came to pass that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey; and they all, with wives and children, brought us on our way, till we were out of the city: and kneeling down on the beach, we prayed, 044 ACT 021 006 and bade each other farewell; and we went on board the ship, but they returned home again. 044 ACT 021 007 And when we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais; and we saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day. 044 ACT 021 008 And on the morrow we departed, and came unto Caesarea: and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we abode with him. 044 ACT 021 009 Now this man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy. 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 coming to us, and taking Paul’s girdle, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, 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 do ye, weeping and breaking 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 these days we took up our baggage, and went up to Jerusalem. 044 ACT 021 016 And there went with us also [certain] of the disciples from Caesarea, bringing [with them] one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we should lodge. 044 ACT 021 017 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly. 044 ACT 021 018 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present. 044 ACT 021 019 And when he had saluted them, he rehearsed one by one the things which God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry. 044 ACT 021 020 And they, when they heard it, glorified God; and they said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of them which have believed; and they are all zealous for the law: 044 ACT 021 021 and they have been informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs. 044 ACT 021 022 What is it therefore? they will certainly hear that thou art come. 044 ACT 021 023 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them; 044 ACT 021 024 these take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges for them, that they may shave their heads: and all shall know that there is no truth in the things whereof they have been informed concerning thee; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, keeping the law. 044 ACT 021 025 But as touching the Gentiles which have believed, we wrote, giving judgment that they should keep themselves from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication. 044 ACT 021 026 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them went into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them. 044 ACT 021 027 And when the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude, and laid hands on him, 044 ACT 021 028 crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place: and moreover he brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath defiled this holy place. 044 ACT 021 029 For they had before seen with him in the city Trophimus the 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 laid hold on Paul, and dragged him out of the temple: and straightway the doors were shut. 044 ACT 021 031 And as they were seeking to kill him, tidings came up to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in confusion. 044 ACT 021 032 And forthwith he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down upon them: and they, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, left off beating Paul. 044 ACT 021 033 Then the chief captain came near, and laid hold on him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and inquired who he was, and what he had done. 044 ACT 021 034 And some shouted one thing, some another, among the crowd: and when he could not know the certainty for the uproar, he commanded him to be brought into the castle. 044 ACT 021 035 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the crowd; 044 ACT 021 036 for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, Away with him. 044 ACT 021 037 And as Paul was about to be brought into the castle, he saith unto the chief captain, May I say something unto thee? And he said, Dost thou know Greek? 044 ACT 021 038 Art thou not then the Egyptian, which before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins? 044 ACT 021 039 But Paul said, I am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and I beseech thee, give me leave to speak unto the people. 044 ACT 021 040 And when he had given him leave, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with the hand unto the people; and when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew language, saying, 044 ACT 022 001 Brethren and fathers, hear ye the defence which I now make unto you. 044 ACT 022 002 And when they heard that he spake unto them in the Hebrew language, they were the more quiet: and he saith, 044 ACT 022 003 I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict manner of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, even as ye all are this day: 044 ACT 022 004 and I persecuted this Way unto 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 estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and journeyed to Damascus, to bring them also which were there unto Jerusalem in bonds, for to be punished. 044 ACT 022 006 And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and drew nigh unto Damascus, about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me. 044 ACT 022 007 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 044 ACT 022 008 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. 044 ACT 022 009 And they that were with me beheld indeed the light, but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me. 044 ACT 022 010 And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of 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, well reported of by all the Jews that dwelt there, 044 ACT 022 013 came unto me, and standing by me said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And in that very hour I looked up on him. 044 ACT 022 014 And he said, The God of our fathers hath appointed thee to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth. 044 ACT 022 015 For thou shalt be a witness for him unto 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 his name. 044 ACT 022 017 And it came to pass, that, when I had returned to Jerusalem, and while I prayed in the temple, I fell into a trance, 044 ACT 022 018 and saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: because they will not receive of thee testimony concerning me. 044 ACT 022 019 And I said, Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee: 044 ACT 022 020 and when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting, and keeping the garments of them that slew him. 044 ACT 022 021 And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee forth far hence unto the Gentiles. 044 ACT 022 022 And they gave him audience unto this word; and they lifted up their voice, 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 threw off their garments, and cast dust into the air, 044 ACT 022 024 the chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, bidding that he should be examined by scourging, that he might know for what cause they so shouted against him. 044 ACT 022 025 And when they had tied him up with the thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned? 044 ACT 022 026 And when the centurion heard it, he went to the chief captain, and told him, saying, What art thou about to do? for this man is a Roman. 044 ACT 022 027 And the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? And he said, Yea. 044 ACT 022 028 And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this citizenship. And Paul said, But I am [a Roman] born. 044 ACT 022 029 They then which were about to examine him straightway departed from him: and the chief captain also was afraid, when he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him. 044 ACT 022 030 But on the morrow, desiring to know the certainty, wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him, and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul down, and set him before them. 044 ACT 023 001 And Paul, looking stedfastly on the council, said, Brethren, I have lived before God in all good conscience until this day. 044 ACT 023 002 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth. 044 ACT 023 003 Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: and 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 And Paul said, I wist not, brethren, that he was high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of a 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, Brethren, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees: touching 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 Sadducees: and the assembly 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 clamour: and some of the scribes of the Pharisees’ part stood up, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: and what if a spirit hath spoken to him, or an angel? 044 ACT 023 010 And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the castle. 044 ACT 023 011 And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer: for as thou hast testified concerning me at Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome. 044 ACT 023 012 And when it was day, 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 which made this conspiracy. 044 ACT 023 014 And they came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, to taste nothing until we have killed Paul. 044 ACT 023 015 Now therefore do ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you, as though ye would judge of his case more exactly: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to slay him. 044 ACT 023 016 But Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, and he came and entered into the castle, and told Paul. 044 ACT 023 017 And Paul called unto him one of the centurions, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath something to tell him. 044 ACT 023 018 So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and saith, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and asked me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say to thee. 044 ACT 023 019 And the chief captain took him by the hand, and going aside asked him privately, What is that thou hast to tell me? 044 ACT 023 020 And he said, The Jews have agreed to ask thee to bring down Paul tomorrow unto the council, as though thou wouldest inquire somewhat more exactly concerning him. 044 ACT 023 021 Do not thou therefore yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves under a curse, neither to eat nor to drink till they have slain him: and now are they ready, looking for the promise from thee. 044 ACT 023 022 So the chief captain let the young man go, charging him, Tell no man that thou hast signified these things to me. 044 ACT 023 023 And he called unto him two of the centurions, and said, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night: 044 ACT 023 024 and [he bade them] provide beasts, that they might set Paul thereon, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor. 044 ACT 023 025 And he wrote a letter after this form: 044 ACT 023 026 Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix, greeting. 044 ACT 023 027 This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be slain of them, when I came upon them with the soldiers, and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman. 044 ACT 023 028 And desiring to know the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him down unto their council: 044 ACT 023 029 whom I found to be accused about 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 shewn to me that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to thee forthwith, charging his accusers also to speak against him before thee. 044 ACT 023 031 So the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris. 044 ACT 023 032 But on the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle: 044 ACT 023 033 and they, when they came to Caesarea, and delivered the letter to the governor, presented Paul also before him. 044 ACT 023 034 And when he had read it, he asked of what province he was; and when he understood that he was of Cilicia, 044 ACT 023 035 I will hear thy cause, said he, when thine accusers also are come: and he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s palace. 044 ACT 024 001 And after five days the high priest Ananias came down with certain elders, and [with] an orator, one Tertullus; and they informed the governor against Paul. 044 ACT 024 002 And when he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy much peace, and that by thy providence evils are corrected for this nation, 044 ACT 024 003 we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness. 044 ACT 024 004 But, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I entreat thee to hear us of thy clemency a few words. 044 ACT 024 005 For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes: 044 ACT 024 006 who moreover assayed to profane the temple: on whom also we laid hold: 044 ACT 024 008 from whom thou wilt be able, by examining him thyself, to take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him. 044 ACT 024 009 And the Jews also joined in the charge, affirming that these things were so. 044 ACT 024 010 And when the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, Paul answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do cheerfully make my defence: 044 ACT 024 011 seeing that thou canst take knowledge, that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem: 044 ACT 024 012 and neither in the temple did they find me disputing with any man or stirring up a crowd, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city. 044 ACT 024 013 Neither can they prove to thee the things whereof they now accuse me. 044 ACT 024 014 But this I confess unto thee, that after the Way which they call a sect, so serve I the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets: 044 ACT 024 015 having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there shall be a resurrection both of the just and unjust. 044 ACT 024 016 Herein do I also exercise myself to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men alway. 044 ACT 024 017 Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings: 044 ACT 024 018 amidst which they found me purified in the temple, with no crowd, nor yet with tumult: but [there were] certain Jews from Asia— 044 ACT 024 019 who ought to have been here before thee, and to make accusation, if they had aught against me. 044 ACT 024 020 Or else let these men themselves say what wrong-doing they found, when I stood before the council, 044 ACT 024 021 except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question before you this day. 044 ACT 024 022 But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will determine your matter. 044 ACT 024 023 And he gave order to the centurion that he should be kept in charge, and should have indulgence; and not to forbid any of his friends to minister unto him. 044 ACT 024 024 But after certain days, Felix came with Drusilla, his wife, which was a Jewess, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus. 044 ACT 024 025 And as he reasoned of righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, Go thy way for this time; and when I have a convenient season, I will call thee unto me. 044 ACT 024 026 He hoped withal that money would be given him of Paul: wherefore also he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him. 044 ACT 024 027 But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; and desiring to gain favour with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds. 044 ACT 025 001 Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea. 044 ACT 025 002 And the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul; and they besought him, 044 ACT 025 003 asking favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem; laying wait to kill him on the way. 044 ACT 025 004 Howbeit Festus answered, that Paul was kept in charge at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart [thither] shortly. 044 ACT 025 005 Let them therefore, saith he, which are of power among you, go down with me, and if there is anything amiss in the man, let them accuse him. 044 ACT 025 006 And when he had tarried among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and on the morrow he sat on the judgment-seat, and commanded Paul to be brought. 044 ACT 025 007 And when he was come, the Jews which had come down from Jerusalem stood round about him, bringing against him many and grievous charges, which they could not prove; 044 ACT 025 008 while Paul said in his defence, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all. 044 ACT 025 009 But Festus, desiring to gain favour with the Jews, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me? 044 ACT 025 010 But Paul said, I am standing before Caesar’s judgment-seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou also very well knowest. 044 ACT 025 011 If then I am a wrong-doer, and have committed anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if none of those things is [true], whereof these accuse me, no man can give me up unto them. I appeal unto Caesar. 044 ACT 025 012 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Thou hast appealed unto Caesar: unto Caesar shalt thou go. 044 ACT 025 013 Now when certain days were passed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Caesarea, and saluted Festus. 044 ACT 025 014 And as they tarried there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix: 044 ACT 025 015 about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed [me], asking for sentence against him. 044 ACT 025 016 To whom I answered, that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man, before that the accused have the accusers face to face, and have had opportunity to make his defence concerning the matter laid against him. 044 ACT 025 017 When therefore they were come together here, I made no delay, but on the next day sat down on the judgment-seat, and commanded the man to be brought. 044 ACT 025 018 Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such evil 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 I, being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, asked whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters. 044 ACT 025 021 But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept till I should send him to Caesar. 044 ACT 025 022 And Agrippa [said] unto Festus, I also could wish to hear the man myself. Tomorrow, saith he, thou shalt hear him. 044 ACT 025 023 So on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and they were entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and the principal men of the city, at the command of Festus Paul was brought in. 044 ACT 025 024 And Festus saith, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye behold this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews made suit to me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer. 044 ACT 025 025 But I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death: and as he himself appealed to the emperor I determined to send him. 044 ACT 025 026 Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I may have somewhat to write. 044 ACT 025 027 For it seemeth to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not withal to signify the charges against him. 044 ACT 026 001 And Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth his hand, and made his defence: 044 ACT 026 002 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, that I am to make my defence before thee this day touching all the things whereof I am accused by the Jews: 044 ACT 026 003 especially because thou art expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently. 044 ACT 026 004 My manner of life then from my youth up, which was from the beginning among mine own nation, and at Jerusalem, know all the Jews; 044 ACT 026 005 having knowledge of me from the first, if they be willing to testify, how that after the straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee. 044 ACT 026 006 And now I stand [here] to be judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers; 044 ACT 026 007 unto which [promise] our twelve tribes, earnestly serving [God] night and day, hope to attain. And concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, O king! 044 ACT 026 008 Why is it judged incredible with you, if God doth 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 And this I also did in Jerusalem: and I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests, and when they were put to death, I gave my vote against them. 044 ACT 026 011 And punishing them oftentimes in all the synagogues, I strove to make them blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto foreign cities. 044 ACT 026 012 Whereupon as I journeyed to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests, 044 ACT 026 013 at midday, O king, I saw on the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them that journeyed with me. 044 ACT 026 014 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying unto me in the Hebrew language, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the goad. 044 ACT 026 015 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. 044 ACT 026 016 But arise, and stand upon thy feet: for to this end have I appeared unto thee, to appoint thee a minister and a witness both of the things wherein thou hast seen me, and of the things wherein I will appear unto thee; 044 ACT 026 017 delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom I send thee, 044 ACT 026 018 to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me. 044 ACT 026 019 Wherefore, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision: 044 ACT 026 020 but declared both to them of Damascus first, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judaea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance. 044 ACT 026 021 For this cause the Jews seized me in the temple, and assayed to kill me. 044 ACT 026 022 Having therefore obtained the help that is from God, I stand unto this day testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses did say should come; 044 ACT 026 023 how that the Christ must suffer, [and] how that he first by the resurrection of the dead should proclaim light both to the people and to the Gentiles. 044 ACT 026 024 And as he thus made his defence, Festus saith with a loud voice, Paul, thou art mad; thy much learning doth turn thee to madness. 044 ACT 026 025 But Paul saith, I am not mad, most excellent Festus; but speak forth words of truth and soberness. 044 ACT 026 026 For the king knoweth of these things, unto whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him; for this hath not been done in a corner. 044 ACT 026 027 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest. 044 ACT 026 028 And Agrippa [said] unto Paul, With but little persuasion thou wouldest fain make me a Christian. 044 ACT 026 029 And Paul [said], I would to God, that whether with little or with much, not thou only, but also all that hear me this day, might become such as I am, except these bonds. 044 ACT 026 030 And the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them: 044 ACT 026 031 and when they had withdrawn, they spake one to another, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds. 044 ACT 026 032 And Agrippa said unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar. 044 ACT 027 001 And when it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band. 044 ACT 027 002 And embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail unto the places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. 044 ACT 027 003 And the next day we touched at Sidon: and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go unto his friends and refresh himself. 044 ACT 027 004 And putting to sea from thence, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. 044 ACT 027 005 And when we had sailed across the sea which is off 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 for Italy; and he put us therein. 044 ACT 027 007 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not further suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete, over against Salmone; 044 ACT 027 008 and with difficulty coasting along it we came unto a certain place called Fair Havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea. 044 ACT 027 009 And when much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already gone by, Paul admonished them, 044 ACT 027 010 and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives. 044 ACT 027 011 But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship, than to those things which were spoken by Paul. 044 ACT 027 012 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter [there]; [which is] a haven of Crete, looking north-east and south-east. 044 ACT 027 013 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore. 044 ACT 027 014 But after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euraquilo: 044 ACT 027 015 and when the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way [to it], and were driven. 044 ACT 027 016 And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat: 044 ACT 027 017 and when they had hoisted it up, they used helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should be cast upon the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven. 044 ACT 027 018 And as we laboured exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw [the freight] overboard; 044 ACT 027 019 and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship. 044 ACT 027 020 And when neither sun nor stars shone upon [us] for many days, and no small tempest lay on [us], all hope that we should be saved was now taken away. 044 ACT 027 021 And when they had been long without food, then Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury 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 [only] of the ship. 044 ACT 027 023 For there stood by me this night an angel of the God whose I am, whom also I serve, 044 ACT 027 024 saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar: and lo, God hath granted thee all them that sail with thee. 044 ACT 027 025 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even so as it hath been spoken unto me. 044 ACT 027 026 Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island. 044 ACT 027 027 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven to and fro in the [sea of] Adria, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some country; 044 ACT 027 028 and they sounded, and found twenty fathoms: and after a little space, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms. 044 ACT 027 029 And fearing lest haply we should be cast ashore on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for the day. 044 ACT 027 030 And as the sailors were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would lay out anchors from 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 away 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 some food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing. 044 ACT 027 034 Wherefore I beseech you to take some food: for this is for your safety: for there shall not a hair perish from the head of any of you. 044 ACT 027 035 And when he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all: and he brake it, and began to eat. 044 ACT 027 036 Then were they all of good cheer, and themselves also took food. 044 ACT 027 037 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls. 044 ACT 027 038 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea. 044 ACT 027 039 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they perceived a certain bay with a beach, and they took counsel whether they could drive the ship upon it. 044 ACT 027 040 And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosing the bands of the rudders; and hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach. 044 ACT 027 041 But lighting upon a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the foreship struck and remained unmoveable, but the stern began to break up by 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, desiring to save Paul, stayed them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves overboard, and get first to the land: 044 ACT 027 044 and the rest, some on planks, and some on [other] things from the ship. And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to the land. 044 ACT 028 001 And when we were escaped, then we knew that the island was called Melita. 044 ACT 028 002 And the barbarians shewed us no common kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the present rain, and because of the cold. 044 ACT 028 003 But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, a viper came out by reason of the heat, and fastened on his hand. 044 ACT 028 004 And when the barbarians saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said one to another, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped from the sea, yet Justice hath not suffered to live. 044 ACT 028 005 Howbeit he shook off the beast into the fire, and took no harm. 044 ACT 028 006 But they expected that he would have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but when they were long in expectation, and beheld nothing amiss came to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god. 044 ACT 028 007 Now in the neighbourhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius; who received us, and entertained us three days courteously. 044 ACT 028 008 And it was so, that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery: unto whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laying his hands on him healed him. 044 ACT 028 009 And when this was done, the rest also which had diseases in the island came, and were cured: 044 ACT 028 010 who also honoured us with many honours; and when we sailed, they put on board such things as we needed. 044 ACT 028 011 And after three months we set sail in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the island, whose sign was The Twin Brothers. 044 ACT 028 012 And touching at Syracuse, we tarried there three days. 044 ACT 028 013 And from thence we made a circuit, and arrived at Rhegium: and after one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli: 044 ACT 028 014 where we found brethren, and were entreated to tarry with them seven days: and so we came to Rome. 044 ACT 028 015 And from thence the brethren, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius, and The Three Taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage. 044 ACT 028 016 And when we entered into Rome, Paul was suffered to abide by himself with the soldier that guarded him. 044 ACT 028 017 And it came to pass, that after three days he called together those that were the chief of the Jews: and when they were come together, he said unto them, I, brethren, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, yet was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans: 044 ACT 028 018 who, when they had examined me, desired to set me at liberty, because there was no cause of death in me. 044 ACT 028 019 But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had aught to accuse my nation of. 044 ACT 028 020 For this cause therefore did I entreat you to see and to speak with [me]: for because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain. 044 ACT 028 021 And they said unto him, We neither received letters from Judaea concerning thee, nor did any of the brethren come hither and report or speak any harm of thee. 044 ACT 028 022 But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against. 044 ACT 028 023 And when they had appointed him a day, they came to him into his lodging in great number; to whom he expounded [the matter], testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning till evening. 044 ACT 028 024 And some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved. 044 ACT 028 025 And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Isaiah the prophet unto your fathers, 044 ACT 028 026 saying, Go thou unto this people, and say, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive: 044 ACT 028 027 For this people’s heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them. 044 ACT 028 028 Be it known therefore unto you, that this salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles: they will also hear. 044 ACT 028 030 And he abode two whole years in his own hired dwelling, and received all that went in unto him, 044 ACT 028 031 preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, none forbidding him. # # BOOK 045 ROM Romans Romans 045 ROM 001 001 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called [to be] an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, 045 ROM 001 002 which he promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures, 045 ROM 001 003 concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, 045 ROM 001 004 who was declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of the dead; [even] Jesus Christ our Lord, 045 ROM 001 005 through whom we received grace and apostleship, unto obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name’s sake: 045 ROM 001 006 among whom are ye also, called [to be] Jesus Christ’s: 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 proclaimed throughout the whole world. 045 ROM 001 009 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you, always in my prayers 045 ROM 001 010 making request, if by any means now at length I may be prospered by the will of God to come unto you. 045 ROM 001 011 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; 045 ROM 001 012 that is, that I with you may be comforted in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine. 045 ROM 001 013 And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you (and was hindered hitherto), that I might have some fruit in you also, even as in the rest of the Gentiles. 045 ROM 001 014 I am debtor both to Greeks and to Barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish. 045 ROM 001 015 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are in Rome. 045 ROM 001 016 For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 045 ROM 001 017 For therein is revealed a righteousness of God by faith unto faith: as it is written, But the righteous 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 down the truth in unrighteousness; 045 ROM 001 019 because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it unto them. 045 ROM 001 020 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, [even] his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse: (aïdios g126) 045 ROM 001 021 because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless 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 for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things. 045 ROM 001 024 Wherefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts unto uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonoured among themselves: 045 ROM 001 025 for that they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165) 045 ROM 001 026 For this cause God gave them up unto vile passions: for 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 unseemliness, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due. 045 ROM 001 028 And even as they refused to have God in [their] knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 045 ROM 001 029 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 045 ROM 001 030 backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 045 ROM 001 031 without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful: 045 ROM 001 032 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that they which practise such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with them that practise them. 045 ROM 002 001 Wherefore thou art without excuse, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest dost practise the same things. 045 ROM 002 002 And we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against them that practise such things. 045 ROM 002 003 And reckonest thou this, O man, who judgest them that practise 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 for 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 works: 045 ROM 002 007 to them that by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honour and incorruption, eternal life: (aiōnios g166) 045 ROM 002 008 but unto them that are factious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, [shall be] wrath and indignation, 045 ROM 002 009 tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek; 045 ROM 002 010 but glory and honour and peace to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek: 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 under law shall be judged by law; 045 ROM 002 013 for not the hearers of a law are just before God, but the doers of a law shall be justified: 045 ROM 002 014 for when Gentiles which have no law do by nature the things of the law, these, having no law, are a law unto themselves; 045 ROM 002 015 in that they shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness therewith, and their thoughts one with another accusing or else excusing [them]; 045 ROM 002 016 in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my gospel, by Jesus Christ. 045 ROM 002 017 But if thou bearest the name of a Jew, and restest upon the law, and gloriest in God, 045 ROM 002 018 and knowest his will, and approvest the things that are 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 that are in darkness, 045 ROM 002 020 a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth; 045 ROM 002 021 thou therefore that 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 rob temples? 045 ROM 002 023 thou who gloriest in the law, through thy transgression of the law dishonourest thou God? 045 ROM 002 024 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, even as it is written. 045 ROM 002 025 For circumcision indeed profiteth, if thou be a doer of the law: but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision. 045 ROM 002 026 If therefore the uncircumcision keep the ordinances of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision? 045 ROM 002 027 and shall not the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfill the law, judge thee, who with the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law? 045 ROM 002 028 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 045 ROM 002 029 but he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. 045 ROM 003 001 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what is the profit of circumcision? 045 ROM 003 002 Much every way: first of all, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God. 045 ROM 003 003 For what if some were without faith? shall their want of faith make of none effect the faithfulness of God? 045 ROM 003 004 God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment. 045 ROM 003 005 But if our unrighteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who visiteth with wrath? (I speak after the manner of men.) 045 ROM 003 006 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? 045 ROM 003 007 But if the truth of God through my lie abounded unto his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? 045 ROM 003 008 and why not (as we be 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 in worse case than they? No, in no wise: for we before laid to the charge both of Jews and Greeks, 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 after God; 045 ROM 003 012 They have all turned aside, they are together become unprofitable; There is none that doeth good, no, not so much as 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 what things soever the law saith, it speaketh to them that are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God: 045 ROM 003 020 because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for through the law [cometh] the knowledge of sin. 045 ROM 003 021 But now apart from the law a righteousness of God hath been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 045 ROM 003 022 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ unto all them that believe; for there is no distinction; 045 ROM 003 023 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God; 045 ROM 003 024 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 045 ROM 003 025 whom God set forth [to be] a propitiation, through faith, by his blood, to shew his righteousness, because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God; 045 ROM 003 026 for the shewing, [I say], of his righteousness at this present season: that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him that hath faith in Jesus. 045 ROM 003 027 Where then is the glorying? It is excluded. By what manner of law? of works? Nay: but by a law of faith. 045 ROM 003 028 We reckon therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. 045 ROM 003 029 Or is God [the God] of Jews only? is he not [the God] of Gentiles also? Yea, of Gentiles also: 045 ROM 003 030 if so be that God is one, and he shall justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith. 045 ROM 003 031 Do we then make the law of none effect through faith? God forbid: nay, we establish the law. 045 ROM 004 001 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, hath found? 045 ROM 004 002 For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not toward God. 045 ROM 004 003 For what saith the scripture? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. 045 ROM 004 004 Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as of debt. 045 ROM 004 005 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness. 045 ROM 004 006 Even as David also pronounceth blessing upon the man, unto whom God reckoneth 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 reckon sin. 045 ROM 004 009 Is this blessing then pronounced upon the circumcision, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say, To Abraham his faith was reckoned 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 while he was in uncircumcision: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned unto them; 045 ROM 004 012 and the father of circumcision to them who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he had in uncircumcision. 045 ROM 004 013 For not through the law was the promise to Abraham or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith. 045 ROM 004 014 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of none effect: 045 ROM 004 015 for the law worketh wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression. 045 ROM 004 016 For this cause [it is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace; to the end that the promise may 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, A father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed, [even] God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were. 045 ROM 004 018 Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So shall thy seed be. 045 ROM 004 019 And without being weakened in faith he considered his own body now as good as dead (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb: 045 ROM 004 020 yea, looking unto the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but waxed strong through faith, giving glory to God, 045 ROM 004 021 and being fully assured that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 045 ROM 004 022 Wherefore also it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. 045 ROM 004 023 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was reckoned unto him; 045 ROM 004 024 but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, 045 ROM 004 025 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification. 045 ROM 005 001 Being therefore justified by faith, let us have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ; 045 ROM 005 002 through whom also we have had our access by faith into this grace wherein we stand; and let us rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 045 ROM 005 003 And not only so, but let us also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 045 ROM 005 004 and patience, probation; and probation, hope: 045 ROM 005 005 and hope putteth not to shame; because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Ghost which was given unto us. 045 ROM 005 006 For while we were yet weak, in due season Christ died for the ungodly. 045 ROM 005 007 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: for peradventure for the good man some one would even dare to die. 045 ROM 005 008 But God commendeth his own 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, shall we be saved from the wrath [of God] through him. 045 ROM 005 010 For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life; 045 ROM 005 011 and not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. 045 ROM 005 012 Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed unto all men, for that all 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 until Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the likeness of Adam’s transgression, who is a figure of him that was to come. 045 ROM 005 015 But not as the trespass, so also [is] the free gift. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound unto the many. 045 ROM 005 016 And not as through one that sinned, [so] is the gift: for the judgment [came] of one unto condemnation, but the free gift [came] of many trespasses unto justification. 045 ROM 005 017 For if, by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; much more shall they that receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, [even] Jesus Christ. 045 ROM 005 018 So then as through one trespass [the judgment came] unto all men to condemnation; even so through one act of righteousness [the free gift came] unto all men to justification of life. 045 ROM 005 019 For as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one shall the many be made righteous. 045 ROM 005 020 And the law came in beside, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did abound more exceedingly: 045 ROM 005 021 that, as sin reigned in death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life through 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 God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein? 045 ROM 006 003 Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 045 ROM 006 004 We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. 045 ROM 006 005 For if we have become united with [him] by the likeness of his death, we shall be also [by the likeness] of his resurrection; 045 ROM 006 006 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin; 045 ROM 006 007 for he that hath died is justified from sin. 045 ROM 006 008 But if we died 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 no more hath dominion over him. 045 ROM 006 010 For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 045 ROM 006 011 Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus. 045 ROM 006 012 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof: 045 ROM 006 013 neither present your members unto sin [as] instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness unto God. 045 ROM 006 014 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under law, but under grace. 045 ROM 006 015 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid. 045 ROM 006 016 Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves [as] servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? 045 ROM 006 017 But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto ye were delivered; 045 ROM 006 018 and being made free from sin, ye became servants of righteousness. 045 ROM 006 019 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye presented your members [as] servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now present your members [as] servants to righteousness unto sanctification. 045 ROM 006 020 For when ye were servants of sin, ye were free in regard of righteousness. 045 ROM 006 021 What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. 045 ROM 006 022 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life. (aiōnios g166) 045 ROM 006 023 For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (aiōnios g166) 045 ROM 007 001 Or are ye ignorant, brethren (for I speak to men that know the law), how that the law hath dominion over a man for so long time as he liveth? 045 ROM 007 002 For the woman that hath a husband is bound by law to the husband while he liveth; but if the husband die, she is discharged from the law of the husband. 045 ROM 007 003 So then if, while the husband liveth, she be joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if the husband die, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she be joined to another man. 045 ROM 007 004 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ; that ye should be joined to another, [even] to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit unto God. 045 ROM 007 005 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were through the law, wrought in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. 045 ROM 007 006 But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that wherein we were holden; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter. 045 ROM 007 007 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Howbeit, I had not known sin, except through the law: for I had not known coveting, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet: 045 ROM 007 008 but sin, finding occasion, wrought in me through the commandment all manner of coveting: for apart from the law sin [is] dead. 045 ROM 007 009 And 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] unto life, this I found [to be] unto death: 045 ROM 007 011 for sin, finding occasion, through the commandment beguiled me, and through it slew me. 045 ROM 007 012 So that the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good. 045 ROM 007 013 Did then that which is good become death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might be shewn to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; —that through the commandment sin 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 know not: for not what I would, that do I practise; but what I hate, that I do. 045 ROM 007 016 But if what I would not, that I do, I consent unto the law that it is good. 045 ROM 007 017 So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which 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 to do that which is good [is] not. 045 ROM 007 019 For the good which I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I practise. 045 ROM 007 020 But if what I would not, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me. 045 ROM 007 021 I find then the law, that, to me who would do good, evil is present. 045 ROM 007 022 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 045 ROM 007 023 but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members. 045 ROM 007 024 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death? 045 ROM 007 025 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself with the mind 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 that are in Christ Jesus. 045 ROM 008 002 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of 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 [as an offering] for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 045 ROM 008 004 that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. 045 ROM 008 005 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the spirit the things of the spirit. 045 ROM 008 006 For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the spirit is life and peace: 045 ROM 008 007 because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be: 045 ROM 008 008 and 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 so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of 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 up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall quicken also your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 045 ROM 008 012 So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh: 045 ROM 008 013 for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the spirit ye mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 045 ROM 008 014 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 045 ROM 008 015 For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 045 ROM 008 016 The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are 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 also glorified with [him]. 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 to us-ward. 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 subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope 045 ROM 008 021 that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory 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 so, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for [our] adoption, [to wit], the redemption of our body. 045 ROM 008 024 For by hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopeth for that which he seeth? 045 ROM 008 025 But if we hope for that which we see not, [then] do we with patience wait for it. 045 ROM 008 026 And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray 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 to them that love God all things work together for good, [even] to them that are called according to [his] purpose. 045 ROM 008 029 For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren: 045 ROM 008 030 and whom he foreordained, 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 then shall we say to these things? If God [is] for us, who [is] against us? 045 ROM 008 032 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things? 045 ROM 008 033 Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth; 045 ROM 008 034 who is he that shall condemn? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 045 ROM 008 035 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 045 ROM 008 036 Even as it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 045 ROM 008 037 Nay, 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 things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 045 ROM 008 039 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, 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 bearing witness with me in the Holy Ghost, 045 ROM 009 002 that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart. 045 ROM 009 003 For I could wish that I myself were anathema from Christ for my brethren’s sake, my kinsmen according to the flesh: 045 ROM 009 004 who are Israelites; whose is 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 of whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165) 045 ROM 009 006 But [it is] not as though the word of God hath come to nought. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: 045 ROM 009 007 neither, because they are Abraham’s seed, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. 045 ROM 009 008 That is, it is not the children of the flesh that are children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for a seed. 045 ROM 009 009 For this is a word of promise, According to this season will I come, and Sarah shall have a son. 045 ROM 009 010 And not only so; but Rebecca also having conceived by one, [even] by our father Isaac— 045 ROM 009 011 for [the children] being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, 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 unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. 045 ROM 009 013 Even as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated. 045 ROM 009 014 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 045 ROM 009 015 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion. 045 ROM 009 016 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that hath mercy. 045 ROM 009 017 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, For this very purpose did I raise thee up, that I might shew in thee my power, and that my name might be published abroad in all the earth. 045 ROM 009 018 So then he hath mercy on whom he will, and whom he will he hardeneth. 045 ROM 009 019 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he still find fault? For who withstandeth 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 didst thou make me thus? 045 ROM 009 021 Or hath not the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? 045 ROM 009 022 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath fitted unto destruction: 045 ROM 009 023 and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he afore prepared unto glory, 045 ROM 009 024 [even] us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles? 045 ROM 009 025 As he saith also in Hosea, I will call that my people, which was not my people; And her beloved, which was not beloved. 045 ROM 009 026 And it shall be, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, There shall they be called sons of the living God. 045 ROM 009 027 And Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that shall be saved: 045 ROM 009 028 for the Lord will execute [his] word upon the earth, finishing it and cutting it short. 045 ROM 009 029 And, as Isaiah hath said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, We had become as Sodom, and had been made like unto Gomorrah. 045 ROM 009 030 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith: 045 ROM 009 031 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at [that] law. 045 ROM 009 032 Wherefore? Because [they sought it] not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling; 045 ROM 009 033 even as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame. 045 ROM 010 001 Brethren, my heart’s desire and my supplication to God is for them, that they may be saved. 045 ROM 010 002 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 045 ROM 010 003 For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. 045 ROM 010 004 For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one that believeth. 045 ROM 010 005 For Moses writeth that the man that doeth the righteousness which is of the law shall live thereby. 045 ROM 010 006 But the righteousness which is of faith saith thus, 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 abyss? (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.) (Abyssos g12) 045 ROM 010 008 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach: 045 ROM 010 009 because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus [as] Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved: 045 ROM 010 010 for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 045 ROM 010 011 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame. 045 ROM 010 012 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same [Lord] is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him: 045 ROM 010 013 for, Whosoever 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 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? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things! 045 ROM 010 016 But they did not all hearken to the glad tidings. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 045 ROM 010 017 So belief [cometh] of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. 045 ROM 010 018 But I say, Did they not hear? Yea, verily, Their sound went out into all the earth, And their words unto the ends of the world. 045 ROM 010 019 But I say, Did Israel not know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, With a nation void of understanding will I anger you. 045 ROM 010 020 And Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I became manifest unto them that asked not of me. 045 ROM 010 021 But as to Israel he saith, All the day long did I spread out my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people. 045 ROM 011 001 I say then, Did God cast off his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 045 ROM 011 002 God did not cast off his people which he foreknew. Or wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elijah? how he pleadeth with God against Israel, 045 ROM 011 003 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have digged down thine altars: and I am left alone, and they seek my life. 045 ROM 011 004 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have left for 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 But if it is by grace, it is no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. 045 ROM 011 007 What then? That which Israel seeketh for, that he obtained not; but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened: 045 ROM 011 008 according as it is written, God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this very day. 045 ROM 011 009 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, And a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them: 045 ROM 011 010 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, And bow thou down their back alway. 045 ROM 011 011 I say then, Did they stumble that they might fall? God forbid: but by their fall salvation [is come] unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. 045 ROM 011 012 Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 045 ROM 011 013 But I speak to you that are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I glorify my ministry: 045 ROM 011 014 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy [them that are] my flesh, and may save some of them. 045 ROM 011 015 For if the casting away of them [is] the reconciling of the world, what [shall] the receiving [of them be], but life from the dead? 045 ROM 011 016 And if the firstfruit is holy, so is the lump: and if the root is holy, so are the branches. 045 ROM 011 017 But if some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive, wast grafted in among them, and didst become partaker with them of the root of the fatness of the olive tree; 045 ROM 011 018 glory not over the branches: but if thou gloriest, it is not thou that bearest the root, but the root thee. 045 ROM 011 019 Thou wilt say then, Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. 045 ROM 011 020 Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by thy faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 045 ROM 011 021 for if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare thee. 045 ROM 011 022 Behold then the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell, severity; but toward thee, God’s goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 045 ROM 011 023 And they also, if they continue not in their 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 that which is by nature a wild olive tree, 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, have you ignorant of this mystery, lest ye be wise in your own conceits, that a hardening in part hath befallen Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in; 045 ROM 011 026 and so all Israel shall be saved: even as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer; He shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 045 ROM 011 027 And this is my covenant unto them, When I shall take away their sins. 045 ROM 011 028 As touching the gospel, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake. 045 ROM 011 029 For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance. 045 ROM 011 030 For as ye in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience, 045 ROM 011 031 even so have these also now been disobedient, that by the mercy shewn to you they also may now obtain mercy. 045 ROM 011 032 For God hath shut up all unto disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all. (eleēsē g1653) 045 ROM 011 033 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing 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 unto him again? 045 ROM 011 036 For of him, and through him, and unto him, are all things. To him [be] the glory for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165) 045 ROM 012 001 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, [which is] your reasonable service. 045 ROM 012 002 And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (aiōn g165) 045 ROM 012 003 For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but so to think as to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to each man a measure of faith. 045 ROM 012 004 For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members have not the same office: 045 ROM 012 005 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and severally members one of another. 045 ROM 012 006 And having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of our faith; 045 ROM 012 007 or ministry, [let us give ourselves] to our ministry; or he that teacheth, to his teaching; 045 ROM 012 008 or he that exhorteth, to his exhorting: he that giveth, [let him do it] with liberality; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth 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 In love of the brethren be tenderly affectioned one to another; in honour preferring one another; 045 ROM 012 011 in diligence not slothful; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 045 ROM 012 012 rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing stedfastly in prayer; 045 ROM 012 013 communicating to the necessities of the saints; given to hospitality. 045 ROM 012 014 Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not. 045 ROM 012 015 Rejoice with them that rejoice; weep with them that weep. 045 ROM 012 016 Be of the same mind one toward another. Set not your mind on high things, but condescend to things that are lowly. Be not wise in your own conceits. 045 ROM 012 017 Render to no man evil for evil. Take thought for things honourable in the sight of all men. 045 ROM 012 018 If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men. 045 ROM 012 019 Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith the Lord. 045 ROM 012 020 But if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him to drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head. 045 ROM 012 021 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. 045 ROM 013 001 Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the [powers] that be are ordained of God. 045 ROM 013 002 Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment. 045 ROM 013 003 For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. And wouldest thou have no fear of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same: 045 ROM 013 004 for he is a minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is a minister of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil. 045 ROM 013 005 Wherefore [ye] must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience sake. 045 ROM 013 006 For for this cause ye pay tribute also; for they are ministers of God’s service, attending continually upon this very thing. 045 ROM 013 007 Render 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 anything, save to love one another: for he that loveth his neighbour 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 covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 045 ROM 013 010 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: love therefore is the fulfillment of the law. 045 ROM 013 011 And this, knowing the season, that now it is high time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we [first] believed. 045 ROM 013 012 The night is far spent, and 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 revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy. 045 ROM 013 014 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfill] the lusts [thereof]. 045 ROM 014 001 But him that is weak in faith receive ye, [yet] not to doubtful disputations. 045 ROM 014 002 One man hath faith to eat all things: but he that is weak eateth herbs. 045 ROM 014 003 Let not him that eateth set at nought him that eateth not; and let not him that eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. 045 ROM 014 004 Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own lord he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be made to stand; for the Lord hath power to make him stand. 045 ROM 014 005 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind. 045 ROM 014 006 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord: and he that eateth, eateth unto the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, unto the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. 045 ROM 014 007 For none of us liveth to himself, and none dieth to himself. 045 ROM 014 008 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; or whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s. 045 ROM 014 009 For to this end Christ died, and lived [again], that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living. 045 ROM 014 010 But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or thou again, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God. 045 ROM 014 011 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, And every tongue shall confess to God. 045 ROM 014 012 So then each 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 ye this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock in his brother’s way, or an occasion of falling. 045 ROM 014 014 I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself: save that to him who accounteth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 045 ROM 014 015 For if because of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer in love. Destroy not with thy meat him 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 eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. 045 ROM 014 018 For he that herein serveth Christ is well-pleasing to God, and approved of men. 045 ROM 014 019 So then let us follow after things which make for peace, and things whereby we may edify one another. 045 ROM 014 020 Overthrow not for meat’s sake the work of God. All things indeed are clean; howbeit it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. 045 ROM 014 021 It is good not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [to do anything] whereby thy brother stumbleth. 045 ROM 014 022 The faith which thou hast, have thou to thyself before God. Happy is he that judgeth not himself in that which he approveth. 045 ROM 014 023 But he that doubteth is condemned if he eat, because [he eateth] not of faith; and whatsoever is not of faith is sin. 045 ROM 015 001 Now we that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 045 ROM 015 002 Let each one of us please his neighbour for that which is good, unto edifying. 045 ROM 015 003 For Christ also pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell upon me. 045 ROM 015 004 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that through patience and through comfort of the scriptures we might have hope. 045 ROM 015 005 Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus: 045 ROM 015 006 that with one accord ye may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 045 ROM 015 007 Wherefore receive ye one another, even as Christ also received you, to the glory of God. 045 ROM 015 008 For I say that Christ hath been made a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises [given] unto the fathers, 045 ROM 015 009 and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, Therefore will I give praise unto thee among the Gentiles, And sing unto 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 let all the peoples praise him. 045 ROM 015 012 And again, Isaiah saith, There shall be the root of Jesse, And he that ariseth to rule over the Gentiles; On him shall the Gentiles hope. 045 ROM 015 013 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Ghost. 045 ROM 015 014 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another. 045 ROM 015 015 But I write the more boldly unto you in some measure, as putting you again in remembrance, because of the grace that was given me of God, 045 ROM 015 016 that I should be a minister of Christ Jesus unto the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost. 045 ROM 015 017 I have therefore my glorying in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God. 045 ROM 015 018 For I will not dare to speak of any things save those which Christ wrought through me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed, 045 ROM 015 019 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Ghost; so that from Jerusalem, and round about even unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ; 045 ROM 015 020 yea, making it my aim so to preach the gospel, not where Christ was [already] named, that I might not build upon another man’s foundation; 045 ROM 015 021 but, as it is written, They shall see, to whom no tidings of him came, And they who have not heard shall understand. 045 ROM 015 022 Wherefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you: 045 ROM 015 023 but now, having no more any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come unto you, 045 ROM 015 024 whensoever I go unto Spain (for I hope to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first in some measure I shall have been satisfied with your company)— 045 ROM 015 025 but now, [I say], I go unto Jerusalem, ministering unto the saints. 045 ROM 015 026 For it hath been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints that are at Jerusalem. 045 ROM 015 027 Yea, it hath been their good pleasure; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it [to them] also to minister unto them in carnal things. 045 ROM 015 028 When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by you unto Spain. 045 ROM 015 029 And I know that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of Christ. 045 ROM 015 030 Now I beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by 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 that are disobedient in Judaea, and [that] my ministration which [I have] for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints; 045 ROM 015 032 that I may come unto you in joy through the will of God, and together with you find rest. 045 ROM 015 033 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen. 045 ROM 016 001 I commend unto you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the church that is at Cenchreae: 045 ROM 016 002 that ye receive her in the Lord, worthily of the saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever matter she may have need of you: for she herself also hath been a succourer of many, and of mine own self. 045 ROM 016 003 Salute Prisca and Aquila my fellow-workers in Christ Jesus, 045 ROM 016 004 who for my life laid down their own necks; unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles: 045 ROM 016 005 and [salute] the church that is in their house. Salute Epaenetus my beloved, who is the firstfruits of Asia unto Christ. 045 ROM 016 006 Salute Mary, who bestowed much labour on you. 045 ROM 016 007 Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also have been in Christ before me. 045 ROM 016 008 Salute Ampliatus my beloved in the Lord. 045 ROM 016 009 Salute Urbanus our fellow-worker in Christ, and Stachys my beloved. 045 ROM 016 010 Salute Apelles the approved in Christ.

(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 unto the church of God which is at Corinth, [even] them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called [to be] saints, with all that call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, their [Lord] and ours: 046 1CO 001 003 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 046 1CO 001 004 I thank my God always concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus; 046 1CO 001 005 that in everything ye were enriched in him, in all utterance and 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 revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ; 046 1CO 001 008 who shall also confirm you unto the end, [that ye be] unreproveable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 046 1CO 001 009 God is faithful, through whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 046 1CO 001 010 Now I beseech you, brethren, through 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 perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 046 1CO 001 011 For it hath been signified unto me concerning you, my brethren, by them [which are of the household] of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 046 1CO 001 012 Now this I mean, 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 into the name of Paul? 046 1CO 001 014 I thank God that I baptized none of you, save Crispus and Gaius; 046 1CO 001 015 lest any man should say that ye were baptized into my 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 sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made void. 046 1CO 001 018 For the word of the cross is to them that are perishing foolishness; but unto us which are being saved it is the power of God. 046 1CO 001 019 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And the prudence of the prudent will I reject. 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 the world? (aiōn g165) 046 1CO 001 021 For seeing that in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom knew not God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save them that believe. 046 1CO 001 022 Seeing that Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom: 046 1CO 001 023 but we preach Christ crucified, unto Jews a stumblingblock, and unto Gentiles foolishness; 046 1CO 001 024 but unto them that 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 behold your calling, brethren, how that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]: 046 1CO 001 027 but God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put to shame them that are wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong; 046 1CO 001 028 and the base things of the world, and the things that are despised, did God choose, [yea] and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought the things that are: 046 1CO 001 029 that no flesh should glory before God. 046 1CO 001 030 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who was made unto us wisdom from God, 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 unto you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the mystery of God. 046 1CO 002 002 For I determined not to know anything among you, save 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 were not in persuasive words of 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 Howbeit we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, which are coming to nought: (aiōn g165) 046 1CO 002 007 but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, [even] the [wisdom] that hath been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds unto our glory: (aiōn g165) 046 1CO 002 008 which none of the rulers of this world knoweth: 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, Things which eye saw not, and ear heard not, And [which] entered not into the heart of man, Whatsoever things God prepared for them that love him. 046 1CO 002 010 But unto us God revealed [them] through the Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 046 1CO 002 011 For who among men knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of the man, which is in him? even so the things of God none knoweth, save the Spirit of God. 046 1CO 002 012 But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us by God. 046 1CO 002 013 Which things also we speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Spirit teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 046 1CO 002 014 Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged. 046 1CO 002 015 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, and he himself is judged of no man. 046 1CO 002 016 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. 046 1CO 003 001 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, as unto babes in Christ. 046 1CO 003 002 I fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able [to bear it]: nay, not even now are ye able; 046 1CO 003 003 for ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you jealousy and strife, are ye not carnal, and walk after the manner of men? 046 1CO 003 004 For when one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not men? 046 1CO 003 005 What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? Ministers through whom ye believed; and each as the Lord gave to him. 046 1CO 003 006 I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 046 1CO 003 007 So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. 046 1CO 003 008 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 046 1CO 003 009 For we are God’s fellow-workers: ye are God’s husbandry, God’s building. 046 1CO 003 010 According to the grace of God which was given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder I laid a foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let each man take heed how he buildeth thereon. 046 1CO 003 011 For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 046 1CO 003 012 But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble; 046 1CO 003 013 each man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man’s work of what sort it is. 046 1CO 003 014 If any man’s work shall abide which he built thereon, 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 through fire. 046 1CO 003 016 Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 046 1CO 003 017 If any man destroyeth 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 thinketh that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise. (aiōn g165) 046 1CO 003 019 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He that taketh the wise in their craftiness: 046 1CO 003 020 and again, The Lord knoweth the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain. 046 1CO 003 021 Wherefore let no one 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 ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. 046 1CO 004 002 Here, 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 of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine 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 Wherefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then shall each man have his praise from God. 046 1CO 004 006 Now these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes; that in us ye might learn not [to go] beyond the things which are written; that no one of you be puffed up for the one against the other. 046 1CO 004 007 For who maketh thee to differ? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? but if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it? 046 1CO 004 008 Already are ye filled, already ye are become rich, ye have reigned without us: yea and I would that ye did reign, that we also might reign with you. 046 1CO 004 009 For, I think, God hath set forth us the apostles last of all, as men doomed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto 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 have glory, but we have dishonour. 046 1CO 004 011 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling place; 046 1CO 004 012 and we toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure; 046 1CO 004 013 being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things, even until now. 046 1CO 004 014 I write not these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children. 046 1CO 004 015 For though ye should have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet [have ye] not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I begat you through the gospel. 046 1CO 004 016 I beseech you therefore, be ye imitators of me. 046 1CO 004 017 For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who shall put you in remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every church. 046 1CO 004 018 Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you. 046 1CO 004 019 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will; and I will know, not the word of them which 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 unto you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of meekness? 046 1CO 005 001 It is actually reported that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not even among the Gentiles, that one [of you] hath his father’s wife. 046 1CO 005 002 And ye are puffed up, and did not rather mourn, that he that had done this deed might be taken away from among you. 046 1CO 005 003 For I verily, being absent in body but present in spirit, have already, as though I were present, judged him that hath so wrought this thing, 046 1CO 005 004 in the name of our Lord Jesus, ye being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus, 046 1CO 005 005 to deliver such a one unto 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 glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 046 1CO 005 007 Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, even as ye are unleavened. For our passover also hath been sacrificed, [even] Christ: 046 1CO 005 008 wherefore 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 unto you in my epistle to have no company with fornicators; 046 1CO 005 010 not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world: 046 1CO 005 011 but now I write unto you not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no, not to eat. 046 1CO 005 012 For what have I to do with judging them that are without? Do not ye judge them that are within, 046 1CO 005 013 whereas them that are without God judgeth? Put away the wicked man from among yourselves. 046 1CO 006 001 Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbour, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? 046 1CO 006 002 Or know ye not that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world is 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 to judge things pertaining to this life, do ye set them to judge who are of no account in the church? 046 1CO 006 005 I say [this] to move you to shame. Is it so, that there cannot be [found] among you one wise man, who shall be able to decide between his brethren, 046 1CO 006 006 but brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers? 046 1CO 006 007 Nay, already it is altogether a defect in you, that ye have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather take wrong? why not rather be defrauded? 046 1CO 006 008 Nay, but ye yourselves do wrong, and defraud, and that [your] brethren. 046 1CO 006 009 Or 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 men, 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 were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God. 046 1CO 006 012 All things are lawful for me; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful for me; but I will not be brought under the power of any. 046 1CO 006 013 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall bring to nought both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body: 046 1CO 006 014 and God both raised the Lord, and will raise up us through his power. 046 1CO 006 015 Know ye not that your bodies are members of Christ? shall I then take away the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid. 046 1CO 006 016 Or know ye not that he that is joined to a harlot is one body? for, The twain, saith he, shall become one flesh. 046 1CO 006 017 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 046 1CO 006 018 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 046 1CO 006 019 Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own; 046 1CO 006 020 for ye were bought with a price: glorify God therefore in your body. 046 1CO 007 001 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 046 1CO 007 002 But, because of fornications, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. 046 1CO 007 003 Let the husband render unto the wife her due: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. 046 1CO 007 004 The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power over his own body, but the wife. 046 1CO 007 005 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be by consent for a season, that ye may give yourselves unto prayer, and may be together again, that Satan tempt you not because of your incontinency. 046 1CO 007 006 But this I say by way of permission, not of commandment. 046 1CO 007 007 Yet I would that all men were even as I myself. Howbeit each man hath his own gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that. 046 1CO 007 008 But I say to the unmarried and to widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. 046 1CO 007 009 But if they have not continency, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. 046 1CO 007 010 But unto the married I give charge, [yea] not I, but the Lord, That the wife depart not from her husband 046 1CO 007 011 (but and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband); and that the husband leave not his wife. 046 1CO 007 012 But to the rest say I, not the Lord: If any brother hath an unbelieving wife, and she is content to dwell with him, let him not leave her. 046 1CO 007 013 And the woman which hath an unbelieving husband, and he is content to dwell with her, let her not leave her husband. 046 1CO 007 014 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. 046 1CO 007 015 Yet if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart: the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such [cases]: but God hath called us in peace. 046 1CO 007 016 For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O husband, whether thou shalt save thy wife? 046 1CO 007 017 Only, as the Lord hath distributed to each man, as God hath called each, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all the churches. 046 1CO 007 018 Was any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Hath any been called in uncircumcision? let him not be 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 each man abide in that calling wherein he was called. 046 1CO 007 021 Wast thou called being a bondservant? care not for it: but if thou canst become free, use [it] rather. 046 1CO 007 022 For he that was called in the Lord, being a bondservant, is the Lord’s freedman: likewise he that was called, being free, is Christ’s bondservant. 046 1CO 007 023 Ye were bought with a price; become not bondservants of men. 046 1CO 007 024 Brethren, let each man, wherein he was called, therein abide with God. 046 1CO 007 025 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: but I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful. 046 1CO 007 026 I think therefore that this is good by reason of the present distress, [namely], that it is good for a man to be as he is. 046 1CO 007 027 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. 046 1CO 007 028 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Yet such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I would spare you. 046 1CO 007 029 But this I say, brethren, the time is shortened, that henceforth both those that have wives may be as though they had none; 046 1CO 007 030 and those that weep, as though they wept not; and those that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and those that buy, as though they possessed not; 046 1CO 007 031 and those that use the world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away. 046 1CO 007 032 But I would have you to be free from cares. He that is unmarried is careful for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord: 046 1CO 007 033 but he that is married is careful for the things of the world, how he may please his wife. 046 1CO 007 034 And there is a difference also between the wife and the virgin. She that is unmarried is careful for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married is careful for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. 046 1CO 007 035 And this I say 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 [daughter], if she be past the flower of her age, and if need so requireth, let him do what he will; he sinneth not; let them marry. 046 1CO 007 037 But he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power as touching his own will, and hath determined this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin [daughter], shall do well. 046 1CO 007 038 So then both he that giveth his own virgin [daughter] in marriage doeth well; and he that giveth her not in marriage shall do better. 046 1CO 007 039 A wife is bound for so long time as her husband liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. 046 1CO 007 040 But she is happier if she abide as she is, after my judgment: and I think that I also have the Spirit of God. 046 1CO 008 001 Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth. 046 1CO 008 002 If any man thinketh that he knoweth anything, he knoweth not yet as he ought to know; 046 1CO 008 003 but if any man loveth God, the same is known of him. 046 1CO 008 004 Concerning therefore the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is [anything] in the world, and that there is no God but one. 046 1CO 008 005 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth; as there are gods many, and lords many; 046 1CO 008 006 yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him. 046 1CO 008 007 Howbeit in all men there is not that knowledge: but some, being used until now to the idol, eat as [of] a thing sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. 046 1CO 008 008 But meat will not commend us to God: neither, if we eat not, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better. 046 1CO 008 009 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to the weak. 046 1CO 008 010 For if a man see thee which hast knowledge sitting at meat in an idol’s temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols? 046 1CO 008 011 For through thy knowledge he that is weak perisheth, the brother for whose sake Christ died. 046 1CO 008 012 And thus, sinning against the brethren, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, ye sin against Christ. 046 1CO 008 013 Wherefore, if meat maketh my brother to stumble, I will eat no flesh for evermore, that I make not my brother to stumble. (aiōn g165) 046 1CO 009 001 Am I not free? am I not an apostle? have I not seen Jesus our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord? 046 1CO 009 002 If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you; for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord. 046 1CO 009 003 My defence 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 wife that is a believer, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? 046 1CO 009 006 Or I only and Barnabas, have we not a right to forbear working? 046 1CO 009 007 What soldier ever serveth at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? 046 1CO 009 008 Do I speak these things after the manner of men? or saith not the law also the same? 046 1CO 009 009 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. Is it for the oxen that God careth, 046 1CO 009 010 or saith he it altogether for our sake? Yea, for our sake it was written: because he that ploweth ought to plow in hope, and he that thresheth, [to thresh] in hope of partaking. 046 1CO 009 011 If we sowed unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we shall reap your carnal things? 046 1CO 009 012 If others partake of [this] right over you, do not we yet more? Nevertheless we did not use this right; but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the gospel of Christ. 046 1CO 009 013 Know ye not that they which minister about sacred things eat [of] the things of the temple, [and] they which wait upon the altar have their portion with the altar? 046 1CO 009 014 Even so did the Lord ordain that they which proclaim the gospel should live of the gospel. 046 1CO 009 015 But I have used none of these things: and I write not these things that it may be so done in my case: for [it were] good for me rather to die, than that any man should make my glorying void. 046 1CO 009 016 For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of; for necessity is laid upon me; for woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel. 046 1CO 009 017 For if I do this of mine own will, I have a reward: but if not of mine own will, I have a stewardship intrusted to me. 046 1CO 009 018 What then is my reward? That, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel without charge, so as not to use to the full my right in the gospel. 046 1CO 009 019 For though I was free from all [men], I brought myself under bondage 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 Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, not being myself 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, not being without law to God, but under law to Christ, that I might gain them that are without law. 046 1CO 009 022 To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak: I am become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some. 046 1CO 009 023 And I do all things for the gospel’s sake, that I may be a joint partaker thereof. 046 1CO 009 024 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? Even so run, that ye may attain. 046 1CO 009 025 And every man that striveth in the games is temperate in all things. Now they [do it] to receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 046 1CO 009 026 I therefore so run, as not uncertainly; so fight I, as not beating the air: 046 1CO 009 027 but I buffet my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after that I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected. 046 1CO 010 001 For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant, how that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 046 1CO 010 002 and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 046 1CO 010 003 and did all eat the same spiritual meat; 046 1CO 010 004 and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Christ. 046 1CO 010 005 Howbeit with most 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 fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. 046 1CO 010 009 Neither let us tempt the Lord, as some of them tempted, and perished by the serpents. 046 1CO 010 010 Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer. 046 1CO 010 011 Now these things happened unto them by way of example; and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come. (aiōn g165) 046 1CO 010 012 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 046 1CO 010 013 There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it. 046 1CO 010 014 Wherefore, my 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 a communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a communion of the body of Christ? 046 1CO 010 017 seeing that we, who are many, are one bread, one body: for we all partake of the one bread. 046 1CO 010 018 Behold Israel after the flesh: have not they which eat the sacrifices communion with the altar? 046 1CO 010 019 What say I then? that a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? 046 1CO 010 020 But [I say], that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have communion with devils. 046 1CO 010 021 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of devils. 046 1CO 010 022 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? 046 1CO 010 023 All things are lawful; but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful; but all things edify not. 046 1CO 010 024 Let no man seek his own, but [each] his neighbour’s [good]. 046 1CO 010 025 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat, asking no question for conscience sake; 046 1CO 010 026 for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof. 046 1CO 010 027 If one of them that believe not biddeth you [to a feast], and ye are disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake. 046 1CO 010 028 But if any man say unto you, This hath been offered in sacrifice, eat not, for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: 046 1CO 010 029 conscience, I say, not thine own, but the other’s; for why is my liberty judged by another conscience? 046 1CO 010 030 If I by grace partake, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? 046 1CO 010 031 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 046 1CO 010 032 Give no occasion of stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God: 046 1CO 010 033 even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the [profit] of the many, that they may be saved. 046 1CO 011 001 Be ye imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ. 046 1CO 011 002 Now I praise you that ye remember me in all things, and hold fast the traditions, even 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 praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonoureth her head: for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven. 046 1CO 011 006 For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled. 046 1CO 011 007 For a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled, 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 of the woman; but the woman of the man: 046 1CO 011 009 for 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 [a sign of] authority on her head, because of the angels. 046 1CO 011 011 Howbeit neither is the woman without the man, nor the man without the woman, in the Lord. 046 1CO 011 012 For as the woman is of the man, so is the man also by the woman; but all things are of God. 046 1CO 011 013 Judge ye in yourselves: is it seemly that a woman pray unto God unveiled? 046 1CO 011 014 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a dishonour to him? 046 1CO 011 015 But if a woman have 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 But in giving you this charge, 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 divisions exist among you; and I partly believe it. 046 1CO 011 019 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. 046 1CO 011 020 When therefore ye assemble yourselves together, it is not possible to eat the Lord’s supper: 046 1CO 011 021 for in your eating each one taketh before [other] his own supper; and one is hungry, and another is drunken. 046 1CO 011 022 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and put them to shame 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 received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, how that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread; 046 1CO 011 024 and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, This is my body, which is for you: this do in remembrance of me. 046 1CO 011 025 In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as oft as ye drink [it], in remembrance of me. 046 1CO 011 026 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye proclaim the Lord’s death till he come. 046 1CO 011 027 Wherefore whosoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. 046 1CO 011 028 But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup. 046 1CO 011 029 For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body. 046 1CO 011 030 For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep. 046 1CO 011 031 But if we discerned ourselves, we should not be judged. 046 1CO 011 032 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world. 046 1CO 011 033 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait one for another. 046 1CO 011 034 If any man is hungry, let him eat at home; that your coming together be not unto judgment. And the rest will I set in order whensoever I come. 046 1CO 012 001 Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 046 1CO 012 002 Ye know that when ye were Gentiles [ye were] led away unto those dumb idols, howsoever ye might be led. 046 1CO 012 003 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema; and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit. 046 1CO 012 004 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 046 1CO 012 005 And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord. 046 1CO 012 006 And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all. 046 1CO 012 007 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal. 046 1CO 012 008 For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit: 046 1CO 012 009 to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit; 046 1CO 012 010 and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits: to another [divers] kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues: 046 1CO 012 011 but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will. 046 1CO 012 012 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. 046 1CO 012 013 For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of 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; it is not 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; it is not 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 each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him. 046 1CO 012 019 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 046 1CO 012 020 But now they are many members, but one body. 046 1CO 012 021 And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 046 1CO 012 022 Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary: 046 1CO 012 023 and those [parts] 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 whereas our comely [parts] have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving 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 whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or [one] member is honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 046 1CO 012 027 Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof. 046 1CO 012 028 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, [divers] 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 gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 046 1CO 012 031 But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And a still more excellent way shew I unto you. 046 1CO 013 001 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. 046 1CO 013 002 And if I have [the gift of] prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 046 1CO 013 003 And if I bestow all my goods to feed [the poor], and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing. 046 1CO 013 004 Love suffereth long, [and] is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 046 1CO 013 005 doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil; 046 1CO 013 006 rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth; 046 1CO 013 007 beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 046 1CO 013 008 Love never faileth: but whether [there be] prophecies, they shall be done away; whether [there be] tongues, they shall cease; whether [there be] knowledge, it shall be done 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, that which is in part shall be done away. 046 1CO 013 011 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have 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 have been known. 046 1CO 013 013 But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love. 046 1CO 014 001 Follow after love; yet desire earnestly spiritual [gifts], but rather that ye may prophesy. 046 1CO 014 002 For he that speaketh in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God; for no man understandeth; but in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 046 1CO 014 003 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men edification, and comfort, and consolation. 046 1CO 014 004 He that speaketh in a tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. 046 1CO 014 005 Now I would have you all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy: and greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. 046 1CO 014 006 But now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching? 046 1CO 014 007 Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they give not a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? 046 1CO 014 008 For if the trumpet give an uncertain voice, who shall prepare himself for war? 046 1CO 014 009 So also ye, unless ye utter by the tongue speech easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye will be speaking into the air. 046 1CO 014 010 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and no [kind] is without signification. 046 1CO 014 011 If then I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be to him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh will be a barbarian unto me. 046 1CO 014 012 So also ye, since ye are zealous of spiritual [gifts], seek that ye may abound unto the edifying of the church. 046 1CO 014 013 Wherefore let him that speaketh in a tongue pray that he may interpret. 046 1CO 014 014 For if I pray in a 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 if thou bless with the spirit, how shall he that filleth the place of the unlearned say the Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he knoweth 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 God, I speak with tongues more than you all: 046 1CO 014 019 howbeit in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue. 046 1CO 014 020 Brethren, be not children in mind: howbeit in malice be ye babes, but in mind be men. 046 1CO 014 021 In the law it is written, By men of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers will I speak unto this people; and not even thus will they hear me, saith the Lord. 046 1CO 014 022 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to the unbelieving: but prophesying [is for a sign], not to the unbelieving, but to them that believe. 046 1CO 014 023 If therefore the whole church be assembled together, and all speak with tongues, and there come in men unlearned or unbelieving, will they not say that ye are mad? 046 1CO 014 024 But if all prophesy, and there come in one unbelieving or unlearned, he is reproved by all, he is judged by all; 046 1CO 014 025 the secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed. 046 1CO 014 026 What is it then, brethren? When ye come together, each one hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 046 1CO 014 027 If any man speaketh in a tongue, [let it be] by two, or at the most three, and [that] in turn; and let one interpret: 046 1CO 014 028 but if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 046 1CO 014 029 And let the prophets speak [by] two or three, and let the others discern. 046 1CO 014 030 But if a revelation be made to another sitting by, let the first keep silence. 046 1CO 014 031 For ye all can 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 [a God] of confusion, but of peace; as in all the churches of the saints. 046 1CO 014 034 Let the women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as also saith the law. 046 1CO 014 035 And if they would learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home: for it is shameful for a woman to speak in the church. 046 1CO 014 036 What? was it from you that the word of God went forth? or came it unto you alone? 046 1CO 014 037 If any man thinketh himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him take knowledge of the things which I write unto you, that they are the commandment of the Lord. 046 1CO 014 038 But if any man is ignorant, let him be ignorant. 046 1CO 014 039 Wherefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. 046 1CO 014 040 But let all things be done decently and in order. 046 1CO 015 001 Now I make known unto you brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand, 046 1CO 015 002 by which also ye are saved; [I make known, I say], in what words I preached it unto you, if ye hold it fast, except ye believed in vain. 046 1CO 015 003 For I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 046 1CO 015 004 and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures; 046 1CO 015 005 and that he appeared to Cephas; then to the twelve; 046 1CO 015 006 then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep; 046 1CO 015 007 then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles; 046 1CO 015 008 and last of all, as unto one born out of due time, he appeared to me also. 046 1CO 015 009 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet 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 found 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 Whether then [it be] I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed. 046 1CO 015 012 Now if Christ is preached that he hath been raised 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, neither hath Christ been raised: 046 1CO 015 014 and if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain, your faith also is vain. 046 1CO 015 015 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we witnessed of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead are not raised. 046 1CO 015 016 For if the dead are not raised, neither hath Christ been raised: 046 1CO 015 017 and if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. 046 1CO 015 018 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 046 1CO 015 019 If in this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men most pitiable. 046 1CO 015 020 But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep. 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, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 046 1CO 015 023 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ’s, at his coming. 046 1CO 015 024 Then [cometh] the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power. 046 1CO 015 025 For he must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his feet. 046 1CO 015 026 The last enemy that shall be abolished is death. 046 1CO 015 027 For, He put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he saith, All things are put in subjection, it is evident that he is excepted who did subject all things unto him. 046 1CO 015 028 And when all things have been subjected unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subjected to him that did subject all things unto him, that God may be all in all. 046 1CO 015 029 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them? 046 1CO 015 030 Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour? 046 1CO 015 031 I protest by that glorying in you, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. 046 1CO 015 032 If after the manner of men I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die. 046 1CO 015 033 Be not deceived: Evil company doth corrupt good manners. 046 1CO 015 034 Awake up righteously, and sin not; for some have no knowledge of God: I speak [this] to move you to shame. 046 1CO 015 035 But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what manner of body do they come? 046 1CO 015 036 Thou foolish one, that which thou thyself sowest is not quickened, except it die: 046 1CO 015 037 and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other kind; 046 1CO 015 038 but God giveth it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own. 046 1CO 015 039 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one [flesh] of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes. 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. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual [body]. 046 1CO 015 045 So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam [became] a life-giving spirit. 046 1CO 015 046 Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual. 046 1CO 015 047 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of 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 tell 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 trump: 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 But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 046 1CO 015 055 O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting? (Hadēs g86) 046 1CO 015 056 The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law: 046 1CO 015 057 but thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 046 1CO 015 058 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not vain in the Lord. 046 1CO 016 001 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I gave order to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye. 046 1CO 016 002 Upon the first day of the week let each one of you lay by him in store, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come. 046 1CO 016 003 And when I arrive, whomsoever ye shall approve by letters, them will I send to carry your bounty unto Jerusalem: 046 1CO 016 004 and if it be meet for me to go also, they shall go with me. 046 1CO 016 005 But I will come unto you, when I shall have passed through Macedonia; for I do pass through Macedonia; 046 1CO 016 006 but with you it may be that I shall abide, or even winter, that ye may set me forward on my journey whithersoever I go. 046 1CO 016 007 For I do not wish to see you now by the way; for I hope 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 unto me, and there are many adversaries. 046 1CO 016 010 Now if Timothy come, see that he 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 set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come unto me: for I expect him with the brethren. 046 1CO 016 012 But as touching Apollos the brother, I besought him much to come unto you with the brethren: and it was not at all [his] will to come now; but he will come when he shall have opportunity. 046 1CO 016 013 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. 046 1CO 016 014 Let all that ye do be done in love. 046 1CO 016 015 Now I beseech you, brethren (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to minister unto the saints), 046 1CO 016 016 that ye also be in subjection unto such, and to every one that helpeth in the work and laboureth. 046 1CO 016 017 And I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they supplied. 046 1CO 016 018 For they refreshed my spirit and yours: acknowledge ye therefore them that are such. 046 1CO 016 019 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Prisca salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. 046 1CO 016 020 All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss. 046 1CO 016 021 The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand. 046 1CO 016 022 If any man loveth not the Lord, let him be anathema. Maranatha. 046 1CO 016 023 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 046 1CO 016 024 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. # # BOOK 047 2CO 2 Corinthians 2 Corinthians 047 2CO 001 001 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in the whole of Achaia: 047 2CO 001 002 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 047 2CO 001 003 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; 047 2CO 001 004 who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. 047 2CO 001 005 For as the sufferings of Christ abound unto us, even so our comfort also aboundeth through Christ. 047 2CO 001 006 But whether we be afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or whether we be comforted, it is for your comfort, which worketh in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: 047 2CO 001 007 and our hope for you is stedfast; knowing that, as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also are ye of the comfort. 047 2CO 001 008 For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction which befell [us] in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, insomuch that we despaired even of life: 047 2CO 001 009 yea, we ourselves have had the answer of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: 047 2CO 001 010 who delivered us out of so great a death, and will deliver: on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us; 047 2CO 001 011 ye also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift bestowed upon us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf. 047 2CO 001 012 For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. 047 2CO 001 013 For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or even acknowledge, and I hope ye will acknowledge unto the end: 047 2CO 001 014 as also ye did acknowledge us in part, that we are your glorying, even as ye also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus. 047 2CO 001 015 And in this confidence I was minded to come before unto you, that ye might have a second benefit; 047 2CO 001 016 and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come unto you, and of you to be set forward on my journey unto Judaea. 047 2CO 001 017 When I therefore was thus minded, did I shew fickleness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the yea yea and the nay nay? 047 2CO 001 018 But as God is faithful, our word toward you is 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 is yea. 047 2CO 001 020 For how many soever be the promises of God, in him is the yea: wherefore also through him is the Amen, unto the glory of God through us. 047 2CO 001 021 Now he that stablisheth us with you in Christ, and anointed us, is God; 047 2CO 001 022 who also sealed us, and gave [us] the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. 047 2CO 001 023 But I call God for a witness upon my soul, that to spare you I forbare to come unto Corinth. 047 2CO 001 024 Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand. 047 2CO 002 001 But I determined this for myself, that I would not come again to you with sorrow. 047 2CO 002 002 For if I make you sorry, who then is he that maketh me glad, but he that is made sorry by me? 047 2CO 002 003 And I wrote this very thing, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of 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 unto you with many tears; not that ye should be made sorry, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you. 047 2CO 002 005 But if any hath caused sorrow, he hath caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I press not too heavily) to you all. 047 2CO 002 006 Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was [inflicted] by the many; 047 2CO 002 007 so that contrariwise ye should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his overmuch sorrow. 047 2CO 002 008 Wherefore I beseech you to confirm [your] love toward him. 047 2CO 002 009 For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye are obedient in all things. 047 2CO 002 010 But to whom ye forgive anything, I [forgive] also: for what I also have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, for your sakes [have I forgiven it] in the person of Christ; 047 2CO 002 011 that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 047 2CO 002 012 Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ, and when a door was opened unto me in the Lord, 047 2CO 002 013 I had no relief for my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went forth into Macedonia. 047 2CO 002 014 But thanks be unto God, which always leadeth us in triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest through us the savour of his knowledge in every place. 047 2CO 002 015 For we are a sweet savour of Christ unto God, in them that are being saved, and in them that are perishing; 047 2CO 002 016 to the one a savour from death unto death; to the other a savour from life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? 047 2CO 002 017 For we are not as the many, corrupting the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ. 047 2CO 003 001 Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? or need we, as do some, epistles of commendation to you or from you? 047 2CO 003 002 Ye are our epistle, written in our hearts, known and read of all men; 047 2CO 003 003 being made manifest that ye are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in tables [that are] hearts of flesh. 047 2CO 003 004 And such confidence have we through Christ to God-ward: 047 2CO 003 005 not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God; 047 2CO 003 006 who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; 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, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look stedfastly upon the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which [glory] was passing away: 047 2CO 003 008 how shall not rather the ministration of the spirit be with glory? 047 2CO 003 009 For if the ministration of condemnation is glory, much rather doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. 047 2CO 003 010 For verily that which hath been made glorious hath not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasseth. 047 2CO 003 011 For if that which passeth away [was] with glory, much more that which remaineth [is] in glory. 047 2CO 003 012 Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech, 047 2CO 003 013 and [are] not as Moses, [who] put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel should not look stedfastly on the end of that which was passing away: 047 2CO 003 014 but their minds were hardened: for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remaineth unlifted; which [veil] is done away in Christ. 047 2CO 003 015 But unto this day, whensoever Moses is read, a veil lieth upon their heart. 047 2CO 003 016 But whensoever it shall turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 047 2CO 003 017 Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, [there] is liberty. 047 2CO 003 018 But we all, with unveiled face reflecting as a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit. 047 2CO 004 001 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we faint not: 047 2CO 004 002 but we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 047 2CO 004 003 But and if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in them that are perishing: 047 2CO 004 004 in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn [upon them]. (aiōn g165) 047 2CO 004 005 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. 047 2CO 004 006 Seeing it is God, that said, Light shall shine out of darkness, who shined in 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 exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves; 047 2CO 004 008 [we are] pressed on every side, yet not straitened; perplexed, yet not unto despair; 047 2CO 004 009 pursued, yet not forsaken; smitten down, yet not destroyed; 047 2CO 004 010 always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body. 047 2CO 004 011 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 047 2CO 004 012 So then death worketh in us, but life in you. 047 2CO 004 013 But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, I believed, and therefore did I speak; we also believe, and therefore also we speak; 047 2CO 004 014 knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also with Jesus, and shall present us with you. 047 2CO 004 015 For all things [are] for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound unto the glory of God. 047 2CO 004 016 Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day. 047 2CO 004 017 For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an 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 the earthly house of our tabernacle be dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens. (aiōnios g166) 047 2CO 005 002 For verily in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon with our habitation 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 indeed we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened; not for that we would be unclothed, but that we would be clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up of life. 047 2CO 005 005 Now he that wrought us for this very thing is God, who gave unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 047 2CO 005 006 Being therefore always of good courage, and knowing that, whilst 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 of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord. 047 2CO 005 009 Wherefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well-pleasing unto him. 047 2CO 005 010 For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things [done] in the body, according to what he hath done, whether [it be] good or bad. 047 2CO 005 011 Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest unto God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences. 047 2CO 005 012 We are not again commending ourselves unto you, but [speak] as giving you occasion of glorying on our behalf, that ye may have wherewith to answer them that glory in appearance, and not in heart. 047 2CO 005 013 For whether we are beside ourselves, it is unto God; or whether we are of sober mind, it is unto you. 047 2CO 005 014 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that one died for all, therefore all died; 047 2CO 005 015 and he died for all, that they which live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto him who for their sakes died and rose again. 047 2CO 005 016 Wherefore we henceforth know no man after the flesh: even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know [him so] no more. 047 2CO 005 017 Wherefore if any man is in Christ, [he is] a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new. 047 2CO 005 018 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation; 047 2CO 005 019 to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 047 2CO 005 020 We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beseech [you] on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God. 047 2CO 005 021 Him who knew no sin he made [to be] sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him. 047 2CO 006 001 And working together [with him] we entreat also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain 047 2CO 006 002 (for he saith, At an acceptable time I hearkened unto thee, And in a day of salvation did I succour thee: behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation): 047 2CO 006 003 giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our ministration be not blamed; 047 2CO 006 004 but in everything commending ourselves, as 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 in pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in the Holy Ghost, in love unfeigned, 047 2CO 006 007 in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 047 2CO 006 008 by glory and dishonour, by evil 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 alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and [yet] possessing all things. 047 2CO 006 011 Our mouth is open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart is enlarged. 047 2CO 006 012 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own affections. 047 2CO 006 013 Now for a recompense in like kind (I speak as unto [my] children), be ye also enlarged. 047 2CO 006 014 Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness? 047 2CO 006 015 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever? 047 2CO 006 016 And what agreement hath a temple of God with idols? for we are a temple of the living God; even as God 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 Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you, 047 2CO 006 018 And will be to you a Father, And ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 047 2CO 007 001 Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 047 2CO 007 002 Open your hearts to us: we wronged no man, we corrupted no man, we took advantage of no man. 047 2CO 007 003 I say it not to condemn [you]: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die together and live together. 047 2CO 007 004 Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying on your behalf: I am filled with comfort, I overflow with joy in all our affliction. 047 2CO 007 005 For even when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but [we were] afflicted on every side; without [were] fightings, within [were] fears. 047 2CO 007 006 Nevertheless he that comforteth the lowly, [even] God, comforted us by the coming of Titus; 047 2CO 007 007 and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort wherewith he was comforted in you, while he told us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced yet more. 047 2CO 007 008 For though I made you sorry with my epistle, I do not regret it, though I did regret; for I see that that epistle made you sorry, though but for a season. 047 2CO 007 009 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry unto repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly sort, that ye might suffer loss by us in nothing. 047 2CO 007 010 For godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation, [a repentance] which bringeth no regret: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 047 2CO 007 011 For behold, this selfsame thing, that ye were made sorry after a godly sort, what earnest care it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what longing, yea, what zeal, yea, what avenging! In everything ye approved yourselves to be pure in the matter. 047 2CO 007 012 So although I wrote unto you, [I wrote] not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be made manifest unto you in the sight of God. 047 2CO 007 013 Therefore we have been comforted: and in our comfort we joyed the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit hath been refreshed by you all. 047 2CO 007 014 For if in anything I have gloried to him on your behalf, I was not put to shame; but as we spake all things to you in truth, so our glorying also, which I made before Titus, was found to be truth. 047 2CO 007 015 And his inward affection is more abundantly toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him. 047 2CO 007 016 I rejoice that in everything I am of good courage concerning you. 047 2CO 008 001 Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God which hath been given in the churches of Macedonia; 047 2CO 008 002 how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. 047 2CO 008 003 For according to their power, I bear witness, yea and beyond their power, [they gave] of their own accord, 047 2CO 008 004 beseeching us with much entreaty in regard of this grace and the fellowship in the ministering to the saints: 047 2CO 008 005 and [this], not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us by the will of God. 047 2CO 008 006 Insomuch that we exhorted Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace also. 047 2CO 008 007 But as ye abound in everything, [in] faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and [in] all earnestness, and [in] your love to us, [see] that ye abound in this grace also. 047 2CO 008 008 I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also 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 become rich. 047 2CO 008 010 And herein I give [my] judgment: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to make a beginning a year ago, not only to do, but also to will. 047 2CO 008 011 But now complete the doing also; that as [there was] the readiness to will, so [there may be] the completion also out of your ability. 047 2CO 008 012 For if the readiness is there, [it is] acceptable according as [a man] hath, not according as [he] hath not. 047 2CO 008 013 For [I say] not [this], that others may be eased, [and] ye distressed: 047 2CO 008 014 but by equality; your abundance [being a supply] at this present time for their want, that their abundance also may become [a supply] for your want; that there may be equality: 047 2CO 008 015 as it is written, He that [gathered] much had nothing over; and he that [gathered] little had no lack. 047 2CO 008 016 But thanks be to God, which putteth the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus. 047 2CO 008 017 For indeed he accepted our exhortation; but being himself very earnest, he went forth unto you of his own accord. 047 2CO 008 018 And we have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the gospel [is spread] through all the churches; 047 2CO 008 019 and not only so, but who was also appointed by the churches to travel with us in [the matter of] this grace, which is ministered by us to the glory of the Lord, and [to shew] our readiness: 047 2CO 008 020 Avoiding this, that any man should blame us in [the matter of] this bounty which is ministered by us: 047 2CO 008 021 for we take thought for things honourable, 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 many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which [he hath] in you. 047 2CO 008 023 Whether [any inquire] about Titus, [he is] my partner and [my] fellow-worker to you-ward; or our brethren, [they are] the messengers of the churches, [they are] the glory of Christ. 047 2CO 008 024 Shew ye therefore unto them in the face of the churches the proof of your love, and of our glorying on your behalf. 047 2CO 009 001 For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you: 047 2CO 009 002 for I know your readiness, of which I glory on your behalf to them of Macedonia, that Achaia hath been prepared for a year past; and your zeal hath stirred up very many of them. 047 2CO 009 003 But I have sent the brethren, that our glorying on your behalf may not be made void in this respect; that, even as I said, ye may be prepared: 047 2CO 009 004 lest by any means, if there come with me any of Macedonia, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be put to shame in this confidence. 047 2CO 009 005 I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your aforepromised bounty, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not of extortion. 047 2CO 009 006 But this [I say], He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 047 2CO 009 007 [Let] each man [do] according as he hath purposed in his heart; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 047 2CO 009 008 And God is able to make all grace abound unto you; that ye, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work: 047 2CO 009 009 as it is written, He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor; His righteousness abideth for ever. (aiōn g165) 047 2CO 009 010 And he that supplieth seed to the sower and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness: 047 2CO 009 011 ye being enriched in everything unto all liberality, which worketh through us thanksgiving to God. 047 2CO 009 012 For the ministration of this service not only filleth up the measure of the wants of the saints, but aboundeth also through many thanksgivings unto God; 047 2CO 009 013 seeing that through the proving [of you] by this ministration they glorify God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of [your] contribution unto them and unto all; 047 2CO 009 014 while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, long after you by reason of 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 entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am of good courage toward you: 047 2CO 010 002 yea, I beseech you, that I may not when present shew courage with the confidence wherewith I count to be bold against some, which count 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 of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strong holds); 047 2CO 010 005 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ; 047 2CO 010 006 and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be fulfilled. 047 2CO 010 007 Ye look at the things that are before your face. If any man trusteth in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that, even as he is Christ’s, so also are we. 047 2CO 010 008 For though I should glory somewhat abundantly concerning our authority (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down), I shall not be put to shame: 047 2CO 010 009 that I may not seem as if I would terrify you by my letters. 047 2CO 010 010 For, His letters, they say, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account. 047 2CO 010 011 Let such a one reckon this, that, what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such [are we] also in deed when we are present. 047 2CO 010 012 For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with certain of them that commend themselves: but they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding. 047 2CO 010 013 But we will not glory beyond [our] measure, but according to the measure of the province which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even unto you. 047 2CO 010 014 For we stretch not ourselves overmuch, as though we reached not unto you: for we came even as far as unto you in the gospel of Christ: 047 2CO 010 015 not glorying beyond [our] measure, [that is], in other men’s labours; but having hope that, as your faith groweth, we shall be magnified in you according to our province unto [further] abundance, 047 2CO 010 016 so as to preach the gospel even unto the parts beyond you, [and] not to glory in another’s province in regard of things 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 Would that ye could bear with me in a little foolishness: nay indeed bear with me. 047 2CO 011 002 For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy: for I espoused you to one husband, that I might present you [as] a pure virgin to Christ. 047 2CO 011 003 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity and the purity that is toward Christ. 047 2CO 011 004 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or [if] ye receive a different spirit, which ye did not receive, or a different gospel, which ye did not accept, ye do well to bear with [him]. 047 2CO 011 005 For I reckon that I am not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles. 047 2CO 011 006 But though [I be] rude in speech, yet [am I] not in knowledge; nay, in everything we have made [it] manifest among all men to you-ward. 047 2CO 011 007 Or did I commit a sin in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I preached to you the gospel of God for nought? 047 2CO 011 008 I robbed other churches, taking wages [of them] that I might minister unto you; 047 2CO 011 009 and when I was present with you and was in want, I was not a burden on any man; for the brethren, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my want; and in everything I kept myself from being burdensome unto 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 glorying in the regions of Achaia. 047 2CO 011 011 Wherefore? 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 which desire an occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. 047 2CO 011 013 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, fashioning themselves into apostles of Christ. 047 2CO 011 014 And no marvel; for even Satan fashioneth himself into an angel of light. 047 2CO 011 015 It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also fashion themselves as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. 047 2CO 011 016 I say again, Let no man think me foolish; but if [ye do], yet as foolish receive me, that I also may glory a little. 047 2CO 011 017 That which I speak, I speak not after the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of glorying. 047 2CO 011 018 Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also. 047 2CO 011 019 For ye bear with the foolish gladly, being wise [yourselves]. 047 2CO 011 020 For ye bear with a man, if he bringeth you into bondage, if he devoureth you, if he taketh you [captive], if he exalteth himself, if he smiteth you on the face. 047 2CO 011 021 I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet whereinsoever any is bold (I speak in foolishness), 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 one beside himself) I more; in labours more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths oft. 047 2CO 011 024 Of the Jews five times received I forty [stripes] save one. 047 2CO 011 025 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day have I been in the deep; 047 2CO 011 026 [in] journeyings often, [in] perils of rivers, [in] perils of robbers, [in] perils from [my] countrymen, [in] perils from the Gentiles, [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] labour and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. 047 2CO 011 028 Beside those things that are without, there is that which presseth upon me daily, anxiety for all the churches. 047 2CO 011 029 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is made to stumble, and I burn not? 047 2CO 011 030 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things that concern my weakness. 047 2CO 011 031 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not. (aiōn g165) 047 2CO 011 032 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king guarded the city of the Damascenes, in order to take me: 047 2CO 011 033 and through a window was I let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands. 047 2CO 012 001 I must needs glory, though it is not expedient; but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. 047 2CO 012 002 I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I know not; or whether out of the body, I know not; God knoweth), such a one caught up even to the third heaven. 047 2CO 012 003 And I know such a man (whether in the body, or apart from the body, I know not; God knoweth), 047 2CO 012 004 how that he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. 047 2CO 012 005 On behalf of such a one will I glory: but on mine own behalf I will not glory, save in [my] weaknesses. 047 2CO 012 006 For if I should desire to glory, I shall not be foolish; for I shall speak the truth: but I forbear, lest any man should account of me above that which he seeth me [to be], or heareth from me. 047 2CO 012 007 And by reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations—wherefore, that I should not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, that I should not be exalted overmuch. 047 2CO 012 008 Concerning this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 047 2CO 012 009 And he hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for [my] power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 047 2CO 012 010 Wherefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, 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 foolish: ye compelled me; for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing was I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I am nothing. 047 2CO 012 012 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, by signs and wonders and mighty works. 047 2CO 012 013 For what is there wherein ye were made inferior to the rest of the churches, except [it be] that I myself was not a burden to you? forgive me this wrong. 047 2CO 012 014 Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a burden 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 most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less? 047 2CO 012 016 But be it so, I did not myself burden you; but, being crafty, I caught you with guile. 047 2CO 012 017 Did I take advantage of you by any one of them whom I have sent unto you? 047 2CO 012 018 I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? walked we not by the same Spirit? [walked we] not in the same steps? 047 2CO 012 019 Ye think all this time that we are excusing ourselves unto you. In the sight of God speak we in Christ. But all things, beloved, [are] for your edifying. 047 2CO 012 020 For I fear, lest by any means, when I come, I should find you not such as I would, and should myself be found of you such as ye would not; lest by any means [there should be] strife, jealousy, wraths, factions, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults; 047 2CO 012 021 lest, when I come again, my God should humble me before you, and I should mourn for many of them that have sinned heretofore, and repented not of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they committed. 047 2CO 013 001 This is the third time I am coming to you. At the mouth of two witnesses or three shall every word be established. 047 2CO 013 002 I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, to them that have sinned heretofore, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare; 047 2CO 013 003 seeing that ye seek a proof of Christ that speaketh in me; who to you-ward is not weak, but is powerful in you: 047 2CO 013 004 for he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him through the power of God toward you. 047 2CO 013 005 Try your own selves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Or know ye not as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you? unless indeed ye be reprobate. 047 2CO 013 006 But I hope that ye shall know that we are not reprobate. 047 2CO 013 007 Now we pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that ye may do that which is honourable, though we be as reprobate. 047 2CO 013 008 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. 047 2CO 013 009 For we rejoice, when we are weak, and ye are strong: this we also pray for, even your perfecting. 047 2CO 013 010 For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not when present deal sharply, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for casting down. 047 2CO 013 011 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfected; be comforted; be of the same mind; live in peace: and the God of love and peace shall be with you. 047 2CO 013 012 Salute one another with a holy kiss. 047 2CO 013 013 All the saints salute you. 047 2CO 013 014 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. # # BOOK 048 GAL Galatians Galatians 048 GAL 001 001 Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead), 048 GAL 001 002 and all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia: 048 GAL 001 003 Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, 048 GAL 001 004 who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father: (aiōn g165) 048 GAL 001 005 to whom [be] the glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165) 048 GAL 001 006 I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from him that called you in the grace of Christ unto a different gospel; 048 GAL 001 007 which is not another [gospel]: only 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 unto you any gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema. 048 GAL 001 009 As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man preacheth unto you any gospel other than that which ye received, let him be anathema. 048 GAL 001 010 For am I now persuading men, or God? or am I seeking to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ. 048 GAL 001 011 For I make known to you, brethren, as touching the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man. 048 GAL 001 012 For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but [it came to me] through revelation of Jesus Christ. 048 GAL 001 013 For ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and made havock of it: 048 GAL 001 014 and I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of mine own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers. 048 GAL 001 015 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, [even] from my mother’s womb, and called me through 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 went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me: but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned unto Damascus. 048 GAL 001 018 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and tarried with him fifteen days. 048 GAL 001 019 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother. 048 GAL 001 020 Now touching the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not. 048 GAL 001 021 Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 048 GAL 001 022 And I was still unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ: 048 GAL 001 023 but they only heard say, He that once persecuted us now preacheth the faith of which he once made havock; 048 GAL 001 024 and they glorified God in me. 048 GAL 002 001 Then after the space of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me. 048 GAL 002 002 And I went up by revelation; and I laid before them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before them who were of repute, lest by any means I should be running, or had run, in vain. 048 GAL 002 003 But not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised: 048 GAL 002 004 and that because of the false brethren privily brought in, who came in privily 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 in the way of subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you. 048 GAL 002 006 But from those who were reputed to be somewhat (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth not man’s person)—they, I say, who were of repute imparted nothing to me: 048 GAL 002 007 but contrariwise, when they saw that I had been intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, even as Peter with [the gospel] of the circumcision 048 GAL 002 008 (for he that wrought for Peter unto the apostleship of the circumcision wrought for me also unto the Gentiles); 048 GAL 002 009 and when they perceived the grace that was given unto me, James and Cephas and John, they who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, that we should go unto the Gentiles, and they unto the circumcision; 048 GAL 002 010 only [they would] that we should remember the poor; which very thing I was also zealous to do. 048 GAL 002 011 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I resisted him to the face, because he stood condemned. 048 GAL 002 012 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing them that were of the circumcision. 048 GAL 002 013 And the rest of the Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that even Barnabas was carried away with their dissimulation. 048 GAL 002 014 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Cephas before [them] all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as do the Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, how compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews? 048 GAL 002 015 We being Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, 048 GAL 002 016 yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, save through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. 048 GAL 002 017 But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a minister of sin? God forbid. 048 GAL 002 018 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a transgressor. 048 GAL 002 019 For I through the law died unto the law, that I might live unto God. 048 GAL 002 020 I have been crucified with Christ; yet I live; [and yet] no longer I, but Christ liveth in me: and that [life] which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, [the faith] which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. 048 GAL 002 021 I do not make void the grace of God: for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nought. 048 GAL 003 001 O foolish Galatians, who did bewitch you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth crucified? 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 perfected in the flesh? 048 GAL 003 004 Did ye suffer so many things in vain? if it be indeed in vain. 048 GAL 003 005 He therefore that supplieth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, [doeth he it] by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 048 GAL 003 006 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. 048 GAL 003 007 Know therefore that they which be of faith, the same are sons of Abraham. 048 GAL 003 008 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand unto Abraham, [saying], In thee shall all the nations be blessed. 048 GAL 003 009 So then they which be of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham. 048 GAL 003 010 For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one which continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them. 048 GAL 003 011 Now that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, is evident: for, The righteous shall live by faith; 048 GAL 003 012 and the law is not of faith; but, He that doeth them shall live in them. 048 GAL 003 013 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 048 GAL 003 014 that upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; 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 be but a man’s covenant, yet when it hath been confirmed, no one maketh it void, or addeth thereto. 048 GAL 003 016 Now to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. 048 GAL 003 017 Now this I say; A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not disannul, so as to make the promise of none effect. 048 GAL 003 018 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise: but God hath granted it to Abraham by promise. 048 GAL 003 019 What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise hath been made; [and it was] ordained through angels by 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? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could make alive, verily righteousness would have been of the law. 048 GAL 003 022 Howbeit the scripture hath shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. 048 GAL 003 023 But before faith came, we were kept in ward under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. 048 GAL 003 024 So that the law hath been our tutor [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 048 GAL 003 025 But now that faith is come, we are no longer under a tutor. 048 GAL 003 026 For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus. 048 GAL 003 027 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ. 048 GAL 003 028 There can be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither bond nor free, there can be no male and female: for ye all are one [man] in Christ Jesus. 048 GAL 003 029 And if ye are Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, heirs according to promise. 048 GAL 004 001 But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a bondservant, though he is lord of all; 048 GAL 004 002 but is under guardians and stewards until the term appointed of the father. 048 GAL 004 003 So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the rudiments of the world: 048 GAL 004 004 but when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 048 GAL 004 005 that he might redeem them which were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 048 GAL 004 006 And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 048 GAL 004 007 So that thou art no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God. 048 GAL 004 008 Howbeit at that time, not knowing God, ye were in bondage to them which by nature are no gods: 048 GAL 004 009 but now that ye have come to know God, or rather to be known of God, how turn ye back again to the weak and beggarly rudiments, whereunto ye desire to be in bondage over again? 048 GAL 004 010 Ye observe days, and months, and seasons, and years. 048 GAL 004 011 I am afraid of you, lest by any means I have bestowed labour upon you in vain. 048 GAL 004 012 I beseech you, brethren, be as I [am], for I [am] as ye [are]. Ye did me no wrong: 048 GAL 004 013 but ye know that because of an infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you the first time: 048 GAL 004 014 and that which was a temptation to you in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but ye received me as an angel of God, [even] as Christ Jesus. 048 GAL 004 015 Where then is that gratulation of yourselves? for I bear you witness, that, if possible, ye would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me. 048 GAL 004 016 So then am I become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? 048 GAL 004 017 They zealously seek you in no good way; nay, they desire to shut you out, that ye may seek them. 048 GAL 004 018 But it is good to be zealously sought in a good matter at all times, and not only when I am present with you. 048 GAL 004 019 My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you, 048 GAL 004 020 yea, I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I am perplexed about 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, one by the handmaid, and one by the freewoman. 048 GAL 004 023 Howbeit the [son] by the handmaid is born after the flesh; but the [son] by the freewoman [is born] through promise. 048 GAL 004 024 Which things contain an allegory: for these [women] are two covenants; one from mount Sinai, bearing children unto bondage, which is Hagar. 048 GAL 004 025 Now this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to the Jerusalem that now is: for she is in bondage with her children. 048 GAL 004 026 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is our mother. 048 GAL 004 027 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; Break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: For more are the children of the desolate than of her which hath the husband. 048 GAL 004 028 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. 048 GAL 004 029 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him [that was born] after the Spirit, even so it is now. 048 GAL 004 030 Howbeit what saith the scripture? Cast out the handmaid and her son: for the son of the handmaid shall not inherit with the son of the freewoman. 048 GAL 004 031 Wherefore, brethren, we are not children of a handmaid, but of the freewoman. 048 GAL 005 001 With freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage. 048 GAL 005 002 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that, if ye receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing. 048 GAL 005 003 Yea, I testify again to every man that receiveth circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. 048 GAL 005 004 Ye are severed from Christ, ye who would be justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace. 048 GAL 005 005 For we through the Spirit by faith wait for the hope of righteousness. 048 GAL 005 006 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love. 048 GAL 005 007 Ye were running well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? 048 GAL 005 008 This persuasion [came] not of him that calleth you. 048 GAL 005 009 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. 048 GAL 005 010 I have confidence to you-ward in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be. 048 GAL 005 011 But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? then hath the stumblingblock of the cross been done away. 048 GAL 005 012 I would that they which unsettle you would even cut themselves off. 048 GAL 005 013 For ye, brethren, were called for freedom; only [use] not your freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through love be servants one to another. 048 GAL 005 014 For the whole 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 of another. 048 GAL 005 016 But I say, Walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 048 GAL 005 017 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not 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 manifest, which are [these], fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 048 GAL 005 020 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, heresies, 048 GAL 005 021 envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they which practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 048 GAL 005 022 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 048 GAL 005 023 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 048 GAL 005 024 And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof. 048 GAL 005 025 If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk. 048 GAL 005 026 Let us not be vainglorious, provoking one another, envying one another. 048 GAL 006 001 Brethren, even if a man be overtaken in any trespass, ye which are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of meekness; looking to thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 048 GAL 006 002 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill 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 each man prove his own work, and then shall he have his glorying in regard of himself alone, and not of his neighbour. 048 GAL 006 005 For each man shall bear his own burden. 048 GAL 006 006 But let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 048 GAL 006 007 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 048 GAL 006 008 For he that soweth unto his own flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth unto the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap eternal life. (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 So then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, and especially toward them that are of the household of the faith. 048 GAL 006 011 See with how large letters I have written unto you with mine own hand. 048 GAL 006 012 As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 048 GAL 006 013 For not even they who receive circumcision do themselves keep the law; but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 048 GAL 006 014 But far be it from me to glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world hath been crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 048 GAL 006 015 For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. 048 GAL 006 016 And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace [be] upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. 048 GAL 006 017 From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear branded on my body the marks of Jesus. 048 GAL 006 018 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen. # # BOOK 049 EPH Ephesians Ephesians 049 EPH 001 001 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus: 049 EPH 001 002 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 049 EPH 001 003 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ: 049 EPH 001 004 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love: 049 EPH 001 005 having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 049 EPH 001 006 to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved: 049 EPH 001 007 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 049 EPH 001 008 which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, 049 EPH 001 009 having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him 049 EPH 001 010 unto a dispensation of the fulness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth; in him, [I say], 049 EPH 001 011 in whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will; 049 EPH 001 012 to the end that we should be unto the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ: 049 EPH 001 013 in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, —in whom, having also believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 049 EPH 001 014 which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of [God’s] own possession, unto the praise of his glory. 049 EPH 001 015 For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and which [ye shew] toward 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 unto you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him; 049 EPH 001 018 having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 049 EPH 001 019 and what the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might 049 EPH 001 020 which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly [places], 049 EPH 001 021 far above all rule, and authority, and power, 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 he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be 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 [did he quicken], when ye were dead through your trespasses and sins, 049 EPH 002 002 wherein aforetime ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience; (aiōn g165) 049 EPH 002 003 among whom we also all once lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest: — 049 EPH 002 004 but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 049 EPH 002 005 even when we were dead through our trespasses, quickened us together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved), 049 EPH 002 006 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly [places], in Christ Jesus: 049 EPH 002 007 that in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus: (aiōn g165) 049 EPH 002 008 for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: 049 EPH 002 009 not of works, that no man should glory. 049 EPH 002 010 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them. 049 EPH 002 011 Wherefore remember, that aforetime ye, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called Circumcision, in the flesh, made by hands; 049 EPH 002 012 that ye were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 049 EPH 002 013 But now in Christ Jesus ye that once were far off are made nigh in the blood of Christ. 049 EPH 002 014 For he is our peace, who made both one, and brake down the middle wall of partition, 049 EPH 002 015 having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the twain one new man, [so] making peace; 049 EPH 002 016 and might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 049 EPH 002 017 and he came and preached peace to you that were far off, and peace to them that were nigh: 049 EPH 002 018 for through him we both have our access in one Spirit unto the Father. 049 EPH 002 019 So then ye are no more strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God, 049 EPH 002 020 being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone; 049 EPH 002 021 in whom each several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord; 049 EPH 002 022 in whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God in the Spirit. 049 EPH 003 001 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus in behalf of you Gentiles, — 049 EPH 003 002 if so be that ye have heard of the dispensation of that grace of God which was given me to you-ward; 049 EPH 003 003 how that by revelation was made known unto me the mystery, as I wrote afore in few words, 049 EPH 003 004 whereby, when ye read, ye can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ; 049 EPH 003 005 which in other generations was not made known unto the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit; 049 EPH 003 006 [to wit], that the Gentiles are fellow-heirs, and fellow-members of the body, and fellow-partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel, 049 EPH 003 007 whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power. 049 EPH 003 008 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach unto the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; 049 EPH 003 009 and to make all men see what is the dispensation of the mystery which from all ages hath been hid in God who created all things; (aiōn g165) 049 EPH 003 010 to the intent that now unto the principalities and the powers in the heavenly [places] might be made known through 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 in confidence through our faith in him. 049 EPH 003 013 Wherefore I ask that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which are your glory. 049 EPH 003 014 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father, 049 EPH 003 015 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 049 EPH 003 016 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that ye may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man; 049 EPH 003 017 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 049 EPH 003 018 may be strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 049 EPH 003 019 and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God. 049 EPH 003 020 Now unto 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 unto him [be] the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus unto all generations for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165) 049 EPH 004 001 I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beseech you to walk worthily of the calling wherewith ye were called, 049 EPH 004 002 with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 049 EPH 004 003 giving diligence 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 also ye were 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 over all, and through all, and in all. 049 EPH 004 007 But unto each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 049 EPH 004 008 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men. 049 EPH 004 009 (Now this, He ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth? 049 EPH 004 010 He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) 049 EPH 004 011 And he gave some [to be] apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 049 EPH 004 012 for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ: 049 EPH 004 013 till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 049 EPH 004 014 that we may be no longer children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error; 049 EPH 004 015 but speaking truth in love, may grow up in all things into him, which is the head, [even] Christ; 049 EPH 004 016 from whom all the body fitly framed and knit together through that which every joint supplieth, according to the working in [due] measure of each several part, maketh the increase of the body unto the building up of itself in love. 049 EPH 004 017 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the Gentiles also walk, in the vanity of their mind, 049 EPH 004 018 being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their heart; 049 EPH 004 019 who being past feeling gave themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 049 EPH 004 020 But ye did not so learn Christ; 049 EPH 004 021 if so be that ye heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus: 049 EPH 004 022 that ye put away, as concerning your former manner of life, the old man, which waxeth corrupt after the lusts of deceit; 049 EPH 004 023 and that ye be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 049 EPH 004 024 and put on the new man, which after God hath been created in righteousness and holiness of truth. 049 EPH 004 025 Wherefore, putting away falsehood, speak ye truth each one 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 that is good, that he may have whereof to give to him that hath need. 049 EPH 004 029 Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear. 049 EPH 004 030 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in whom ye were sealed unto the day of redemption. 049 EPH 004 031 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice: 049 EPH 004 032 and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you. 049 EPH 005 001 Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children; 049 EPH 005 002 and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell. 049 EPH 005 003 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints; 049 EPH 005 004 nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not befitting: but rather giving of thanks. 049 EPH 005 005 For this ye know of a surety, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, which is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. 049 EPH 005 006 Let no man deceive you with empty words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience. 049 EPH 005 007 Be not ye therefore partakers with them; 049 EPH 005 008 For ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light 049 EPH 005 009 (for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth), 049 EPH 005 010 proving what is well-pleasing unto the Lord; 049 EPH 005 011 and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them; 049 EPH 005 012 for the things which are done by them in secret it is a shame even to speak of. 049 EPH 005 013 But all things when they are reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light. 049 EPH 005 014 Wherefore [he] saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee. 049 EPH 005 015 Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise; 049 EPH 005 016 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 049 EPH 005 017 Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 049 EPH 005 018 And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit; 049 EPH 005 019 speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; 049 EPH 005 020 giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father; 049 EPH 005 021 subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ. 049 EPH 005 022 Wives, [be in subjection] unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 049 EPH 005 023 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, [being] himself the saviour of the body. 049 EPH 005 024 But as the church is subject to Christ, so [let] the wives also [be] to their husbands in everything. 049 EPH 005 025 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it; 049 EPH 005 026 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word, 049 EPH 005 027 that he might present the church 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 Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself: 049 EPH 005 029 for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church; 049 EPH 005 030 because we are members of his body. 049 EPH 005 031 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the twain shall become one flesh. 049 EPH 005 032 This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church. 049 EPH 005 033 Nevertheless do ye also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and [let] the wife [see] that she fear 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 nurture them in the chastening and admonition of the Lord. 049 EPH 006 005 Servants, be obedient unto them that according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; 049 EPH 006 006 not in the way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; 049 EPH 006 007 with good will doing service, as unto the Lord, and not unto men: 049 EPH 006 008 knowing that whatsoever good thing each one doeth, the same shall he receive again from the Lord, whether [he be] bond or free. 049 EPH 006 009 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, and forbear threatening: knowing that both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no respect of persons with him. 049 EPH 006 010 Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength 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 our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places]. (aiōn g165) 049 EPH 006 013 Wherefore 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 girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 049 EPH 006 015 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 049 EPH 006 016 withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil [one]. 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 with all prayer and supplication praying at all seasons in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints, 049 EPH 006 019 And on my behalf, that utterance may be given unto me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, 049 EPH 006 020 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. 049 EPH 006 021 But that ye also may know my affairs, how I do, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things: 049 EPH 006 022 whom I have sent unto you for this very purpose, that ye may know our state, 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 uncorruptness. # # BOOK 050 PHI Philippians Philippians 050 PHI 001 001 Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: 050 PHI 001 002 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 050 PHI 001 003 I thank my God upon all my remembrance of you, 050 PHI 001 004 always in every supplication of mine on behalf of you all making my supplication with joy, 050 PHI 001 005 for your fellowship in furtherance of the gospel from the first day until now; 050 PHI 001 006 being confident of this very thing, that he which began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ: 050 PHI 001 007 even as it is right for me to be thus minded on behalf 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 with me of grace. 050 PHI 001 008 For God is my witness, how I long after you all in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus. 050 PHI 001 009 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment; 050 PHI 001 010 so that ye may approve the things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and void of offence unto the day of Christ; 050 PHI 001 011 being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. 050 PHI 001 012 Now I would have you know, brethren, that the things [which happened] unto me have fallen out rather unto the progress of the gospel; 050 PHI 001 013 so that my bonds became manifest in Christ throughout the whole praetorian guard, and to all the rest; 050 PHI 001 014 and that most of the brethren in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear. 050 PHI 001 015 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: 050 PHI 001 016 the one [do it] of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel: 050 PHI 001 017 but the other proclaim Christ of faction, not sincerely, thinking to raise up affliction for me in my bonds. 050 PHI 001 018 What then? only that in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and therein I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. 050 PHI 001 019 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 050 PHI 001 020 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing shall I be put to shame, 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 to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 050 PHI 001 022 But if to live in the flesh, —[if] this is the fruit of my work, then what I shall choose I wot not. 050 PHI 001 023 But I am in a strait betwixt the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ; for it is very far better: 050 PHI 001 024 yet to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake. 050 PHI 001 025 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, yea, and abide with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith; 050 PHI 001 026 that your glorying may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again. 050 PHI 001 027 Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you or be absent, I may hear of your state, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the gospel; 050 PHI 001 028 and in nothing affrighted by the adversaries: which is for them an evident token of perdition, but of your salvation, and that from God; 050 PHI 001 029 because to you it hath been granted in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer in his behalf: 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 comfort in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassions, 050 PHI 002 002 fulfill ye my joy, that ye be of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind; 050 PHI 002 003 [doing] nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting other better than himself; 050 PHI 002 004 not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others. 050 PHI 002 005 Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 050 PHI 002 006 who, being in the form of God, counted it not a prize to be on an equality with God, 050 PHI 002 007 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men; 050 PHI 002 008 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient [even] unto death, yea, the death of the cross. 050 PHI 002 009 Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name; 050 PHI 002 010 that in 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 So then, my beloved, even 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 which worketh in you both to will and to work, for 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, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as lights in the world, 050 PHI 002 016 holding forth the word of life; that I may have whereof to glory in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain neither labour 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 and in the same manner do ye also joy, and rejoice with me. 050 PHI 002 019 But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto 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 care truly for your state. 050 PHI 002 021 For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ. 050 PHI 002 022 But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child [serveth] a father, [so] he served with me in furtherance of the gospel. 050 PHI 002 023 Him therefore I hope to send forthwith, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me: 050 PHI 002 024 but I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall come shortly. 050 PHI 002 025 But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-worker and fellow-soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need; 050 PHI 002 026 since he longed after you all, and was sore troubled, because ye had heard that he was sick: 050 PHI 002 027 for indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow. 050 PHI 002 028 I have sent him therefore the more diligently, 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 joy; and hold such in honour: 050 PHI 002 030 because for the work of Christ he came nigh unto death, hazarding his life to supply that which was lacking in 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 irksome, but for you it is safe. 050 PHI 003 002 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the concision: 050 PHI 003 003 for we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh: 050 PHI 003 004 though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh: if any other man thinketh to have confidence in the flesh, I yet more: 050 PHI 003 005 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 050 PHI 003 006 as touching zeal, persecuting the church; as touching the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless. 050 PHI 003 007 Howbeit what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ. 050 PHI 003 008 Yea verily, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may gain Christ, 050 PHI 003 009 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of mine own, [even] that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 050 PHI 003 010 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death; 050 PHI 003 011 if by any means I may attain unto the resurrection from the dead. 050 PHI 003 012 Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may apprehend that for which also I was apprehended by Christ Jesus. 050 PHI 003 013 Brethren, I count not myself yet to have apprehended: but one thing [I do], forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, 050 PHI 003 014 I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 050 PHI 003 015 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye are otherwise minded, even this shall God reveal unto you: 050 PHI 003 016 only, whereunto we have already attained, by that same [rule] let us walk. 050 PHI 003 017 Brethren, be ye imitators together of me, and mark them which so walk even as ye have us for an ensample. 050 PHI 003 018 For many walk, of whom I 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 perdition, whose god is the belly, and [whose] glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. 050 PHI 003 020 For our citizenship is in heaven; from whence also we wait for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 050 PHI 003 021 who shall fashion anew the body of our humiliation, [that it may be] conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working whereby he is able even to subject all things unto himself. 050 PHI 004 001 Wherefore, my brethren beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my beloved. 050 PHI 004 002 I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to be of the same mind in the Lord. 050 PHI 004 003 Yea, I beseech thee also, true yokefellow, help these women, for they laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow-workers, whose names are in the book of life. 050 PHI 004 004 Rejoice in the Lord alway: again I will say, Rejoice. 050 PHI 004 005 Let your forbearance be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 050 PHI 004 006 In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 050 PHI 004 007 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. 050 PHI 004 008 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honourable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 050 PHI 004 009 The things which ye both learned and received and heard and saw in me, these things do: and the God of peace shall be with you. 050 PHI 004 010 But I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye have revived your thought for me; wherein ye did indeed take thought, but ye lacked opportunity. 050 PHI 004 011 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therein to be content. 050 PHI 004 012 I know how to be abased, and I know also how to abound: in everything and in all things have I learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want. 050 PHI 004 013 I can do all things in him that strengtheneth me. 050 PHI 004 014 Howbeit ye did well, that ye had fellowship with my affliction. 050 PHI 004 015 And ye yourselves also know, ye Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church had fellowship with me in the matter of giving and receiving, but ye only; 050 PHI 004 016 for even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my need. 050 PHI 004 017 Not that I seek for the gift; but I seek for the fruit that increaseth to your account. 050 PHI 004 018 But I have all things, and abound: I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things [that came] from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God. 050 PHI 004 019 And my God shall fulfill every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 050 PHI 004 020 Now unto our God and Father [be] the glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165) 050 PHI 004 021 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me salute you. 050 PHI 004 022 All the saints salute you, especially they that are of Caesar’s household. 050 PHI 004 023 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. # # BOOK 051 COL Colossians Colossians 051 COL 001 001 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, 051 COL 001 002 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ [which are] at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father. 051 COL 001 003 We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 051 COL 001 004 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have toward all the saints, 051 COL 001 005 because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, 051 COL 001 006 which is come unto you; even as it is also in all the world bearing fruit and increasing, as [it doth] in you also, since the day ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth; 051 COL 001 007 even as ye learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf, 051 COL 001 008 who also declared unto 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 and make request for you, that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 051 COL 001 010 to walk worthily of the Lord unto all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 051 COL 001 011 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, unto all patience and longsuffering with joy; 051 COL 001 012 giving thanks unto the Father, who made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; 051 COL 001 013 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love; 051 COL 001 014 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins: 051 COL 001 015 who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 051 COL 001 016 for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him; 051 COL 001 017 and he is before all things, and in 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 might have the preeminence. 051 COL 001 019 For it was the good pleasure [of the Father] that in him should all the fulness dwell; 051 COL 001 020 and through him to reconcile all things unto himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, [I say], whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens. 051 COL 001 021 And you, being in time past alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works, yet now hath he reconciled 051 COL 001 022 in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and unreproveable before him: 051 COL 001 023 if so be that ye continue in the faith, grounded and stedfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven; whereof I Paul was made a minister. 051 COL 001 024 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church; 051 COL 001 025 whereof I was made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which was given me to you-ward, to fulfill the word of God, 051 COL 001 026 [even] the mystery which hath been hid from all ages and generations: but now hath it been manifested to his saints, (aiōn g165) 051 COL 001 027 to whom God was pleased to 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 proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ; 051 COL 001 029 whereunto I labour also, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily. 051 COL 002 001 For I would have you know how greatly I strive 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, they being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God, [even] Christ, 051 COL 002 003 in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden. 051 COL 002 004 This I say, that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech. 051 COL 002 005 For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ. 051 COL 002 006 As therefore ye received Christ Jesus the Lord, [so] walk in him, 051 COL 002 007 rooted and builded up in him, and stablished in your faith, even as ye were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. 051 COL 002 008 Take heed lest there shall be any one that maketh spoil of you through his 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 in him ye are made full, who is the head of all principality and power: 051 COL 002 011 in whom ye were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ; 051 COL 002 012 having been buried with him in baptism, wherein ye were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. 051 COL 002 013 And you, being dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, you, [I say], did he quicken together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses; 051 COL 002 014 having blotted out the bond written in ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us: and he hath taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross; 051 COL 002 015 having put off from himself the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 051 COL 002 016 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a feast day or a new moon or a sabbath day: 051 COL 002 017 which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ’s. 051 COL 002 018 Let no man rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he hath seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 051 COL 002 019 and not holding fast the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and bands, increaseth with the increase of God. 051 COL 002 020 If ye died with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, do ye subject yourselves to ordinances, 051 COL 002 021 Handle not, nor taste, nor touch 051 COL 002 022 (all which things are to perish with the using), after the precepts and doctrines of men? 051 COL 002 023 Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will-worship, and humility, and severity to the body; [but are] not of any value against the indulgence of the flesh. 051 COL 003 001 If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. 051 COL 003 002 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth. 051 COL 003 003 For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 051 COL 003 004 When Christ, [who is] our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory. 051 COL 003 005 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, the which is idolatry; 051 COL 003 006 for which things’ sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience; 051 COL 003 007 in the which ye also walked aforetime, when ye lived in these things. 051 COL 003 008 But now put ye also away all these; anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth: 051 COL 003 009 lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings, 051 COL 003 010 and have put on the new man, which is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him: 051 COL 003 011 where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman: but Christ is all, and in all. 051 COL 003 012 Put on therefore, as God’s elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 051 COL 003 013 forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye: 051 COL 003 014 and above all these things [put on] love, which is the bond of perfectness. 051 COL 003 015 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful. 051 COL 003 016 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another with psalms [and] hymns [and] spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts unto God. 051 COL 003 017 And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. 051 COL 003 018 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 051 COL 003 019 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. 051 COL 003 020 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord. 051 COL 003 021 Fathers, provoke not your children, that they be not discouraged. 051 COL 003 022 Servants, obey in all things them that are your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord: 051 COL 003 023 whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men; 051 COL 003 024 knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ. 051 COL 003 025 For he that doeth wrong shall receive again for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons. 051 COL 004 001 Masters, render unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven. 051 COL 004 002 Continue stedfastly in prayer, watching therein with thanksgiving; 051 COL 004 003 withal praying for us also, that God may open unto us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds; 051 COL 004 004 that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak. 051 COL 004 005 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. 051 COL 004 006 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer each one. 051 COL 004 007 All my affairs shall Tychicus make known unto you, the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Lord: 051 COL 004 008 whom I have sent unto you for this very purpose, that ye may know our estate, and that he may comfort your hearts; 051 COL 004 009 together with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things that [are done] here. 051 COL 004 010 Aristarchus my fellow-prisoner saluteth you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (touching whom ye received commandments; if he come unto you, receive him), 051 COL 004 011 and Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision: these only [are my] fellow-workers unto the kingdom of God, men that have been a comfort unto me. 051 COL 004 012 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, saluteth you, always striving for you in his prayers, that ye may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God. 051 COL 004 013 For I bear him witness, that he hath much labour for you, and for them in Laodicea, and for them in Hierapolis. 051 COL 004 014 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas salute you. 051 COL 004 015 Salute the brethren that are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church that is in their house. 051 COL 004 016 And when this epistle hath been read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye also read the epistle from Laodicea. 051 COL 004 017 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfill it. 051 COL 004 018 The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. # # BOOK 052 1TH 1 Thessalonians 1 Thessalonians 052 1TH 001 001 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace. 052 1TH 001 002 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention [of you] in our prayers; 052 1TH 001 003 remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labour of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father; 052 1TH 001 004 knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election, 052 1TH 001 005 how that our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and [in] much assurance; even as ye know what manner of men we shewed ourselves toward you for your sake. 052 1TH 001 006 And ye became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost; 052 1TH 001 007 so that ye became an ensample to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia. 052 1TH 001 008 For from you hath sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith to God-ward is gone forth; so that we need not to speak anything. 052 1TH 001 009 For they themselves report concerning us what manner of entering in we had unto you; and how ye turned unto God from idols, to serve a living and true God, 052 1TH 001 010 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, which delivereth us from the wrath to come. 052 1TH 002 001 For yourselves, brethren, know our entering in unto you, that it hath not been found vain: 052 1TH 002 002 but having suffered before, and been shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we waxed bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God in much conflict. 052 1TH 002 003 For our exhortation [is] not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile: 052 1TH 002 004 but even as we have been approved of God to be intrusted with the gospel, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God which proveth our hearts. 052 1TH 002 005 For neither at any time were we found using words of flattery, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness, God is witness; 052 1TH 002 006 nor seeking glory of men, neither from you, nor from others, when we might have been burdensome, as apostles of Christ. 052 1TH 002 007 But we were gentle in the midst of you, as when a nurse cherisheth her own children: 052 1TH 002 008 even so, being affectionately desirous of you, we were well pleased to impart unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were become very dear to us. 052 1TH 002 009 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God. 052 1TH 002 010 Ye are witnesses, and God [also], how holily and righteously and unblameably we behaved ourselves toward you that believe: 052 1TH 002 011 as ye know how we [dealt with] each one of you, as a father with his own children, exhorting you, and encouraging [you], and testifying, 052 1TH 002 012 to the end that ye should walk worthily of God, who calleth you into his own kingdom and glory. 052 1TH 002 013 And for this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when ye received from us the word of the message, [even the word] of God, ye accepted [it] not [as] the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also worketh in you that believe. 052 1TH 002 014 For ye, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus: for ye also suffered the same things of your own countrymen, even as they did of the Jews; 052 1TH 002 015 who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drave out us, and please not God, and are contrary to all men; 052 1TH 002 016 forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved; to fill up their sins alway: but the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost. 052 1TH 002 017 But we, brethren, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more exceedingly to see your face with great desire: 052 1TH 002 018 because we would fain have come unto you, I Paul once and again; and Satan hindered us. 052 1TH 002 019 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glorying? Are not even ye, before our Lord Jesus at his coming? 052 1TH 002 020 For ye are our glory and our joy. 052 1TH 003 001 Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone; 052 1TH 003 002 and sent Timothy, our brother and God’s minister in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort [you] concerning your faith; 052 1TH 003 003 that no man be moved by these afflictions; for yourselves know that hereunto we are appointed. 052 1TH 003 004 For verily, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction; even as it came to pass, and ye know. 052 1TH 003 005 For this cause I also, when I could no longer forbear, sent that I might know your faith, lest by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labour should be in vain. 052 1TH 003 006 But when Timothy came even now unto us from you, and brought us glad tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, longing to see us, even as we also [to see] you; 052 1TH 003 007 for this cause, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith: 052 1TH 003 008 for now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord. 052 1TH 003 009 For what thanksgiving can we render again unto God for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy 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 may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way unto 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 also [do] toward you; 052 1TH 003 013 to the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints. 052 1TH 004 001 Finally then, brethren, we beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as ye received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, even as ye do walk, —that ye abound more and more. 052 1TH 004 002 For ye know what charge we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 052 1TH 004 003 For this is the will of God, [even] your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication; 052 1TH 004 004 that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honour, 052 1TH 004 005 not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles which know not God; 052 1TH 004 006 that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in the matter: because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified. 052 1TH 004 007 For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification. 052 1TH 004 008 Therefore he that rejecteth, rejecteth not man, but God, who giveth his Holy Spirit unto you. 052 1TH 004 009 But concerning love of the brethren ye have no need that one write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another; 052 1TH 004 010 for indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brethren, that ye abound 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 hands, even as we charged you; 052 1TH 004 012 that ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and may have need of nothing. 052 1TH 004 013 But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them that fall asleep; that ye sorrow not, even as the rest, which have no hope. 052 1TH 004 014 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also that are fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 052 1TH 004 015 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall in no wise precede them that are fallen 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 trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 052 1TH 004 017 then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 052 1TH 004 018 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 052 1TH 005 001 But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that aught be written unto 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 When they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise 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 for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness; 052 1TH 005 006 so then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober. 052 1TH 005 007 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 052 1TH 005 008 But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation. 052 1TH 005 009 For God appointed us not unto wrath, but unto the obtaining of salvation through 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 Wherefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as also ye do. 052 1TH 005 012 But we beseech you, brethren, to know them that labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; 052 1TH 005 013 and to esteem them exceeding highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves. 052 1TH 005 014 And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be longsuffering toward all. 052 1TH 005 015 See that none render unto any one evil for evil; but alway follow after that which is good, one toward another, and toward all. 052 1TH 005 016 Rejoice alway; 052 1TH 005 017 pray without ceasing; 052 1TH 005 018 in everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you-ward. 052 1TH 005 019 Quench not the Spirit; 052 1TH 005 020 despise not prophesyings; 052 1TH 005 021 prove all things; hold fast that which is good; 052 1TH 005 022 abstain from every form of evil. 052 1TH 005 023 And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 052 1TH 005 024 Faithful is he that calleth you, who will also do it. 052 1TH 005 025 Brethren, pray for us. 052 1TH 005 026 Salute all the brethren with a holy kiss. 052 1TH 005 027 I adjure you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the brethren. 052 1TH 005 028 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. # # BOOK 053 2TH 2 Thessalonians 2 Thessalonians 053 2TH 001 001 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, unto 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 the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 053 2TH 001 003 We are bound to give thanks to God alway for you, brethren, even as it is meet, for that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all toward one another 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 in the afflictions which ye endure; 053 2TH 001 005 [which is] a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God; to the end that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 053 2TH 001 006 if so be that it is a righteous thing with God to recompense affliction to them that afflict you, 053 2TH 001 007 and to you that are afflicted rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power 053 2TH 001 008 in flaming fire, rendering vengeance to them that know not God, and to them that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus: 053 2TH 001 009 who shall suffer punishment, [even] eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might, (aiōnios g166) 053 2TH 001 010 when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at in all them that believed (because our testimony unto you was believed) in that day. 053 2TH 001 011 To which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and [every] work of faith, with power; 053 2TH 001 012 that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. 053 2TH 002 001 Now we beseech you, brethren, touching the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him; 053 2TH 002 002 to the end that ye be not quickly shaken from your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by epistle as from us, as that the day of the Lord is [now] present; 053 2TH 002 003 let no man beguile you in any wise: for [it will not be], except the falling away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition, 053 2TH 002 004 he that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, setting himself forth as 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 that which restraineth, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season. 053 2TH 002 007 For the mystery of lawlessness doth already work: only [there is] one that restraineth now, until he be taken out of the way. 053 2TH 002 008 And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his coming; 053 2TH 002 009 [even he], whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 053 2TH 002 010 and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that are perishing; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 053 2TH 002 011 And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie: 053 2TH 002 012 that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 053 2TH 002 013 But we are bound to give thanks to God alway for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, for that God chose you from the beginning unto salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 053 2TH 002 014 whereunto he called you through our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 053 2TH 002 015 So then, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye were taught, whether by word, or by epistle of ours. 053 2TH 002 016 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father which loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, (aiōnios g166) 053 2TH 002 017 comfort your hearts and stablish them in every good work and word. 053 2TH 003 001 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, even as also [it is] with you; 053 2TH 003 002 and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for all have not faith. 053 2TH 003 003 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and guard you from the evil [one]. 053 2TH 003 004 And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command. 053 2TH 003 005 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of 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 they received of us. 053 2TH 003 007 For yourselves know how ye ought to imitate us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; 053 2TH 003 008 neither did we eat bread for nought at any man’s hand, but in labour and travail, working night and day, that we might not burden any of you: 053 2TH 003 009 not because we have not the right, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you, that ye should imitate us. 053 2TH 003 010 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, If any will not work, neither let him eat. 053 2TH 003 011 For we hear of some that walk among you disorderly, that work not at all, but are busybodies. 053 2TH 003 012 Now them that are such we command and exhort in the 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, that ye have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed. 053 2TH 003 015 And [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 at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all. 053 2TH 003 017 The salutation of me Paul with mine 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. # # BOOK 054 1TI 1 Timothy 1 Timothy 054 1TI 001 001 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and Christ Jesus our hope; 054 1TI 001 002 unto Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. 054 1TI 001 003 As I exhorted thee to tarry at Ephesus, when I was going into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge certain men not to teach a different doctrine, 054 1TI 001 004 neither to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, the which minister questionings, rather than a dispensation of God which is in faith; [so do I now]. 054 1TI 001 005 But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned: 054 1TI 001 006 from which things some having swerved have turned aside unto vain talking; 054 1TI 001 007 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor whereof they confidently affirm. 054 1TI 001 008 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully, 054 1TI 001 009 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 054 1TI 001 010 for fornicators, for abusers of themselves with men, for menstealers, for liars, for false swearers, and if there be any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine; 054 1TI 001 011 according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust. 054 1TI 001 012 I thank him that enabled me, [even] Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he counted me faithful, appointing me to [his] service; 054 1TI 001 013 though I was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: howbeit I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief; 054 1TI 001 014 and the grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 054 1TI 001 015 Faithful is the 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 howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me as chief might Jesus Christ shew forth all his longsuffering, for an ensample of them which should hereafter believe on him unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166) 054 1TI 001 017 Now unto the King eternal, incorruptible, invisible, the only God, [be] honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165) 054 1TI 001 018 This charge I commit unto thee, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that by them thou mayest war the good warfare; 054 1TI 001 019 holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust from them made shipwreck concerning the faith: 054 1TI 001 020 of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I delivered unto Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme. 054 1TI 002 001 I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men; 054 1TI 002 002 for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity. 054 1TI 002 003 This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 054 1TI 002 004 who willeth that all men should be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth. 054 1TI 002 005 For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, [himself] man, Christ Jesus, 054 1TI 002 006 who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony [to be borne] in its own times; 054 1TI 002 007 whereunto I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth, I lie not), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. 054 1TI 002 008 I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing. 054 1TI 002 009 In like manner, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly raiment; 054 1TI 002 010 but (which becometh women professing godliness) through good works. 054 1TI 002 011 Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection. 054 1TI 002 012 But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness. 054 1TI 002 013 For Adam was first formed, then Eve; 054 1TI 002 014 and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression: 054 1TI 002 015 but she shall be saved through the childbearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety. 054 1TI 003 001 Faithful is the saying, If a man seeketh the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 054 1TI 003 002 The bishop therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, soberminded, orderly, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 054 1TI 003 003 no brawler, no striker; but gentle, not contentious, no lover of money; 054 1TI 003 004 one that ruleth well his own house, having [his] children in subjection with all gravity; 054 1TI 003 005 (but 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 puffed up he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 054 1TI 003 007 Moreover he must have good testimony from them that are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. 054 1TI 003 008 Deacons in like manner [must be] grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 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 serve as deacons, if they be blameless. 054 1TI 003 011 Women in like manner [must be] grave, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things. 054 1TI 003 012 Let deacons be husbands of one wife, ruling [their] children and their own houses well. 054 1TI 003 013 For they that have served well as deacons gain to themselves a good standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 054 1TI 003 014 These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly; 054 1TI 003 015 but if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how men ought to behave themselves 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; He who was manifested in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen of angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, received up in glory. 054 1TI 004 001 But the Spirit saith expressly, that in later times some shall fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils, 054 1TI 004 002 through the hypocrisy of men that speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron; 054 1TI 004 003 forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by them that believe and know the truth. 054 1TI 004 004 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it be received with thanksgiving: 054 1TI 004 005 for it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer. 054 1TI 004 006 If thou put the brethren in mind of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which thou hast followed [until now]: 054 1TI 004 007 but refuse profane and old wives’ fables. And exercise thyself unto godliness: 054 1TI 004 008 for bodily exercise is profitable for a little; but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life which now is, and of that which is to come. 054 1TI 004 009 Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation. 054 1TI 004 010 For to this end we labour and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of them 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 ensample to them that believe, in word, in manner of life, in love, in faith, in purity. 054 1TI 004 013 Till I come, give heed to reading, to exhortation, to teaching. 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 Be diligent in these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy progress may be manifest unto all. 054 1TI 004 016 Take heed to thyself, and to thy teaching. Continue in these things; for in doing this thou shalt save both thyself and them that hear thee. 054 1TI 005 001 Rebuke not an elder, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brethren: 054 1TI 005 002 the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity. 054 1TI 005 003 Honour widows that are widows indeed. 054 1TI 005 004 But if any widow hath children or grandchildren, let them learn first to shew piety towards their own family, and to requite their parents: for this is acceptable in the sight of God. 054 1TI 005 005 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, hath her hope set on God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. 054 1TI 005 006 But she that giveth herself to pleasure is dead while she liveth. 054 1TI 005 007 These things also command, that they may be without reproach. 054 1TI 005 008 But if any provideth not for his own, and specially his own household, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever. 054 1TI 005 009 Let none be enrolled as a widow under threescore 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 used hospitality to 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 younger widows refuse: for when they have waxed wanton against Christ, they desire to marry; 054 1TI 005 012 having condemnation, because they have rejected their first faith. 054 1TI 005 013 And withal they learn also [to be] idle, going 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 desire therefore that the younger [widows] marry, bear children, rule the household, give none occasion to the adversary for reviling: 054 1TI 005 015 for already some are turned aside after Satan. 054 1TI 005 016 If any woman that believeth hath widows, let her relieve them, and let not the church be burdened; 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 those who labour in the word and in teaching. 054 1TI 005 018 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his hire. 054 1TI 005 019 Against an elder receive not an accusation, except at [the mouth of] two or three witnesses. 054 1TI 005 020 Them that sin reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear. 054 1TI 005 021 I charge [thee] in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudice, 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 Be no longer a drinker of water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities. 054 1TI 005 024 Some men’s sins are evident, going before unto judgment; and some men also they follow after. 054 1TI 005 025 In like manner also there are good works that are evident; and such as are otherwise cannot be hid. 054 1TI 006 001 Let as many as are servants under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and the doctrine be not blasphemed. 054 1TI 006 002 And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but let them serve them the rather, because they that partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. These things teach and exhort. 054 1TI 006 003 If any man teacheth a different doctrine, and consenteth not to sound words, [even] the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 054 1TI 006 004 he is puffed up, knowing nothing, but doting about questionings and disputes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 054 1TI 006 005 wranglings of men corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth, supposing that godliness is a way of gain. 054 1TI 006 006 But godliness with contentment is great gain: 054 1TI 006 007 for we brought nothing into the world, for neither can we carry anything out; 054 1TI 006 008 but having food and covering we shall be therewith content. 054 1TI 006 009 But they that desire to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition. 054 1TI 006 010 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 054 1TI 006 011 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 054 1TI 006 012 Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the life eternal, whereunto thou wast called, and didst confess the good confession in the sight of many witnesses. (aiōnios g166) 054 1TI 006 013 I charge thee in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and of Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed the good confession; 054 1TI 006 014 that thou keep the commandment, without spot, without reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 054 1TI 006 015 which in its own times he shall shew, 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 light unapproachable; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom [be] honour and power eternal. Amen. (aiōnios g166) 054 1TI 006 017 Charge them that are rich in this present world, that they be not highminded, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on 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, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 054 1TI 006 019 laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life which is [life] indeed. (aiōnios g166) 054 1TI 006 020 O Timothy, guard that which is committed unto [thee], turning away from the profane babblings and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called; 054 1TI 006 021 which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you. # # BOOK 055 2TI 2 Timothy 2 Timothy 055 2TI 001 001 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus, 055 2TI 001 002 to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. 055 2TI 001 003 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers in a pure conscience, how unceasing is my remembrance of thee in my supplications, night and day 055 2TI 001 004 longing to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I may be filled with joy; 055 2TI 001 005 having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in thee; which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and, I am persuaded, in thee also. 055 2TI 001 006 For the which cause I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee through the laying on of my hands. 055 2TI 001 007 For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline. 055 2TI 001 008 Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but suffer hardship with the gospel according to the power of God; 055 2TI 001 009 who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal, (aiōnios g166) 055 2TI 001 010 but hath now been manifested by the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and incorruption to light through the gospel, 055 2TI 001 011 whereunto I was appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher. 055 2TI 001 012 For the which cause I suffer also these things: yet I am not ashamed; for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed unto him against that day. 055 2TI 001 013 Hold the pattern 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 unto [thee] guard through the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us. 055 2TI 001 015 This thou knowest, that all that are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. 055 2TI 001 016 The Lord grant mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus: for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain; 055 2TI 001 017 but, when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me 055 2TI 001 018 (the Lord grant unto him to find mercy of the Lord in that day); and in how many things he ministered at Ephesus, thou knowest very well. 055 2TI 002 001 Thou therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 055 2TI 002 002 And the things which 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 Suffer hardship with [me], as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 055 2TI 002 004 No soldier on service entangleth himself in the affairs of [this] life; that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier. 055 2TI 002 005 And if also a man contend in the games, he is not crowned, except he have contended lawfully. 055 2TI 002 006 The husbandman that laboureth must be the first to partake of the fruits. 055 2TI 002 007 Consider what I say; for the Lord shall give thee understanding in all things. 055 2TI 002 008 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel: 055 2TI 002 009 wherein I suffer hardship unto bonds, as a malefactor; but the word of God is not bound. 055 2TI 002 010 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166) 055 2TI 002 011 Faithful is the saying: For if we died with him, we shall also live with him: 055 2TI 002 012 if we endure, we shall also reign with him: if we shall deny him, he also will deny us: 055 2TI 002 013 if we are faithless, he abideth faithful; for he cannot deny himself. 055 2TI 002 014 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging [them] in the sight of the Lord, that they strive not about words, to no profit, to the subverting of them that hear. 055 2TI 002 015 Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth. 055 2TI 002 016 But shun profane babblings: for they will proceed further in ungodliness, 055 2TI 002 017 and their word will eat as doth a gangrene: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; 055 2TI 002 018 men who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already, and overthrow the faith of some. 055 2TI 002 019 Howbeit the firm foundation of God standeth, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his: and, Let every one that nameth the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness. 055 2TI 002 020 Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some unto honour, and some unto dishonour. 055 2TI 002 021 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, meet for the master’s use, prepared unto every good work. 055 2TI 002 022 But flee youthful lusts, and follow after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 055 2TI 002 023 But foolish and ignorant questionings refuse, knowing that they gender strifes. 055 2TI 002 024 And the Lord’s servant must not strive, but be gentle towards all, apt to teach, forbearing, 055 2TI 002 025 in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth, 055 2TI 002 026 and they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by the Lord’s servant unto the will of God. 055 2TI 003 001 But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come. 055 2TI 003 002 For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 055 2TI 003 003 without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good, 055 2TI 003 004 traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; 055 2TI 003 005 holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof: from these also turn away. 055 2TI 003 006 For of these are they that creep into houses, and take captive silly women laden with sins, led away by divers lusts, 055 2TI 003 007 ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 055 2TI 003 008 And like as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth; men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith. 055 2TI 003 009 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be evident unto all men, as theirs also came to be. 055 2TI 003 010 But thou didst follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience, 055 2TI 003 011 persecutions, sufferings; what things befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: and out of them all the Lord delivered me. 055 2TI 003 012 Yea, and all that would live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 055 2TI 003 013 But evil men and impostors shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. 055 2TI 003 014 But abide thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 055 2TI 003 015 and that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 055 2TI 003 016 Every scripture inspired of God [is] also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness: 055 2TI 003 017 that the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work. 055 2TI 004 001 I charge [thee] in the sight of God, and of Christ Jesus, who shall judge the quick and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom; 055 2TI 004 002 preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 055 2TI 004 003 For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts; 055 2TI 004 004 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside unto fables. 055 2TI 004 005 But be thou sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill thy ministry. 055 2TI 004 006 For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure is come. 055 2TI 004 007 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith: 055 2TI 004 008 henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give to me at that day: and not only to me, but also to all them that have loved his appearing. 055 2TI 004 009 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me: 055 2TI 004 010 for Demas forsook me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165) 055 2TI 004 011 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is useful to me for ministering. 055 2TI 004 012 But Tychicus I sent to Ephesus. 055 2TI 004 013 The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, bring when thou comest, and the books, especially the parchments. 055 2TI 004 014 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord will render to him according to his works: 055 2TI 004 015 of whom be thou ware also; for he greatly withstood our words. 055 2TI 004 016 At my first defence no one took my part, but all forsook me: may it not be laid to their account. 055 2TI 004 017 But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me; that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. 055 2TI 004 018 The Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will save me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom [be] the glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165) 055 2TI 004 019 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus. 055 2TI 004 020 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus I left at Miletus sick. 055 2TI 004 021 Do thy diligence to come before winter.

For which cause reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, 056 TIT 001 014 not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth. 056 TIT 001 015 To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. 056 TIT 001 016 They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. 056 TIT 002 001 But speak thou the things which befit the sound doctrine: 056 TIT 002 002 that aged men be temperate, grave, soberminded, sound in faith, in love, in patience: 056 TIT 002 003 that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanour, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good; 056 TIT 002 004 that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, 056 TIT 002 005 [to be] soberminded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed: 056 TIT 002 006 the younger men likewise exhort to be soberminded: 056 TIT 002 007 in all things shewing thyself an ensample of good works; in thy doctrine [shewing] uncorruptness, gravity, 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 of us. 056 TIT 002 009 [Exhort] servants to be in subjection to their own masters, [and] to be well-pleasing [to them] in all things; not gainsaying; 056 TIT 002 010 not purloining, but shewing 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 hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men, 056 TIT 002 012 instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world; (aiōn g165) 056 TIT 002 013 looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ; 056 TIT 002 014 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works. 056 TIT 002 015 These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise thee. 056 TIT 003 001 Put them in mind to be in subjection to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready unto every good work, 056 TIT 003 002 to speak evil of no man, not to be contentious, to be gentle, shewing all meekness toward all men. 056 TIT 003 003 For we also were aforetime foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. 056 TIT 003 004 But when the kindness of God our Saviour, and his love toward man, appeared, 056 TIT 003 005 not by works [done] in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost, 056 TIT 003 006 which he poured out upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 056 TIT 003 007 that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (aiōnios g166) 056 TIT 003 008 Faithful is the saying, and concerning these things I will that thou affirm confidently, to the end that they which have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men: 056 TIT 003 009 but shun foolish questionings, and genealogies, and strifes, and fightings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. 056 TIT 003 010 A man that is heretical after a first and second admonition refuse; 056 TIT 003 011 knowing that such a one is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned. 056 TIT 003 012 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, give diligence to come unto me to Nicopolis: for there I have determined to winter. 056 TIT 003 013 Set forward Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them. 056 TIT 003 014 And let our [people] also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful. 056 TIT 003 015 All that are with me salute thee. Salute them that love us in faith. Grace be with you all. # # BOOK 057 PHM Philemon Philemon 057 PHM 001 001 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our beloved and fellow-worker, 057 PHM 001 002 and to Apphia our sister, and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, 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 always, making mention of thee in my prayers, 057 PHM 001 005 hearing of thy love, and of the faith which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints; 057 PHM 001 006 that the fellowship of thy faith may become effectual, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in you, unto Christ. 057 PHM 001 007 For I had much joy and comfort in thy love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through thee, brother. 057 PHM 001 008 Wherefore, though I have all boldness in Christ to enjoin thee that which is befitting, 057 PHM 001 009 yet for love’s sake I rather beseech, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now a prisoner also of Christ Jesus: 057 PHM 001 010 I beseech thee for my child, whom I have begotten in my bonds, Onesimus, 057 PHM 001 011 who was aforetime unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable to thee and to me: 057 PHM 001 012 whom I have sent back to thee in his own person, that is, my very heart: 057 PHM 001 013 whom I would fain have kept with me, that in thy behalf he might minister unto me in the bonds of the gospel: 057 PHM 001 014 but without thy mind I would do nothing; that thy goodness should not be as of necessity, but of free will. 057 PHM 001 015 For perhaps he was therefore parted [from thee] for a season, that thou shouldest have him for ever; (aiōnios g166) 057 PHM 001 016 no longer as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much rather to thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord. 057 PHM 001 017 If then thou countest me a partner, receive him as myself. 057 PHM 001 018 But if he hath wronged thee at all, or oweth [thee] aught, put that to mine account; 057 PHM 001 019 I Paul write it with mine own hand, I will repay it: that I say not unto thee how that thou owest to me even thine own self besides. 057 PHM 001 020 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my heart in Christ. 057 PHM 001 021 Having confidence in thine obedience I write unto thee, knowing that thou wilt do even beyond what I say. 057 PHM 001 022 But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted unto you. 057 PHM 001 023 Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus, saluteth thee; 057 PHM 001 024 [and so do] Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-workers. 057 PHM 001 025 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. # # BOOK 058 HEB Hebrews Hebrews 058 HEB 001 001 God, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners, 058 HEB 001 002 hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in [his] Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds; (aiōn g165) 058 HEB 001 003 who being the effulgence of his glory, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 058 HEB 001 004 having become by so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they. 058 HEB 001 005 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, This day have I begotten thee? and again, I will be to him a Father, And he shall be to me a Son? 058 HEB 001 006 And when he again bringeth in the firstborn 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 winds, And his ministers a flame of fire: 058 HEB 001 008 but of the Son [he saith], Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; And the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. (aiōn g165) 058 HEB 001 009 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 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 continuest: And they all shall wax old as doth a garment; 058 HEB 001 012 And as a mantle shalt thou roll them up, As a garment, and they shall be changed: But thou art the same, And thy years shall not fail. 058 HEB 001 013 But of which of the angels hath he said at any time, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet? 058 HEB 001 014 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation? 058 HEB 002 001 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things that were heard, lest haply we drift away [from them]. 058 HEB 002 002 For if the word spoken through angels proved stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward; 058 HEB 002 003 how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation? which having at the first been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard; 058 HEB 002 004 God also bearing witness with them, both by signs and wonders, and by manifold powers, and by gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will. 058 HEB 002 005 For not unto angels did he subject the world to come, whereof we speak. 058 HEB 002 006 But one hath somewhere 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 crownedst him with glory and honour, And didst set him over the works of thy hands: 058 HEB 002 008 Thou didst put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he subjected all things unto him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to him. 058 HEB 002 009 But we behold him who hath been made a little lower than the angels, [even] Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honour, that by the grace of God he should taste death for every [man]. 058 HEB 002 010 For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 058 HEB 002 011 For both he that sanctifieth and they that 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 unto my brethren, In the midst of the congregation will I sing thy praise. 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 sharers in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same; that through death he might bring to nought him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 058 HEB 002 015 and might deliver all them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 058 HEB 002 016 For verily not of angels doth he take hold, but he taketh hold of the seed of Abraham. 058 HEB 002 017 Wherefore it behoved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 058 HEB 002 018 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. 058 HEB 003 001 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, [even] Jesus; 058 HEB 003 002 who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house. 058 HEB 003 003 For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he that built the house hath more honour than the house. 058 HEB 003 004 For every house is builded by some one; but he that built all things is God. 058 HEB 003 005 And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken; 058 HEB 003 006 but Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm unto the end. 058 HEB 003 007 Wherefore, even as the Holy Ghost saith, Today if ye shall hear his voice, 058 HEB 003 008 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the temptation in the wilderness, 058 HEB 003 009 Wherewith your fathers tempted [me] by proving [me], And saw my works forty years. 058 HEB 003 010 Wherefore I was displeased with this generation, And said, They do alway err in their heart: But they did not know my ways; 058 HEB 003 011 As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest. 058 HEB 003 012 Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God: 058 HEB 003 013 but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called Today; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin: 058 HEB 003 014 for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end: 058 HEB 003 015 while it is said, Today if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. 058 HEB 003 016 For who, when they heard, did provoke? nay, did not all they that came out of Egypt by Moses? 058 HEB 003 017 And with whom was he displeased forty years? was it not with them that sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? 058 HEB 003 018 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient? 058 HEB 003 019 And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief. 058 HEB 004 001 Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it. 058 HEB 004 002 For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because they were not united by faith with them that heard. 058 HEB 004 003 For we which have believed do enter into that rest; even as he hath said, As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 058 HEB 004 004 For he hath said somewhere of the seventh [day] on this wise, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works; 058 HEB 004 005 and in this [place] again, They shall not enter into my rest. 058 HEB 004 006 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some should enter thereinto, and they to whom the good tidings were before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience, 058 HEB 004 007 he again defineth a certain day, saying in David, after so long a time, Today, as it hath been before said, Today if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts. 058 HEB 004 008 For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day. 058 HEB 004 009 There remaineth therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God. 058 HEB 004 010 For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his. 058 HEB 004 011 Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, that no man fall after the same example of disobedience. 058 HEB 004 012 For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart. 058 HEB 004 013 And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do. 058 HEB 004 014 Having then a great high priest, who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 058 HEB 004 015 For we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but one that hath been in all points tempted like as [we are, yet] without sin. 058 HEB 004 016 Let us therefore draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help [us] in time of need. 058 HEB 005 001 For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins: 058 HEB 005 002 who can bear gently with the ignorant and erring, for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity; 058 HEB 005 003 and by reason thereof is bound, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. 058 HEB 005 004 And no man taketh the honour unto himself, but when he is called of God, even as was Aaron. 058 HEB 005 005 So Christ also glorified not himself to be made a high priest, but he that spake unto him, Thou art my Son, This 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, having offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear, 058 HEB 005 008 though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered; 058 HEB 005 009 and having been made perfect, he became unto all them that obey him the author of eternal salvation; (aiōnios g166) 058 HEB 005 010 named of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek. 058 HEB 005 011 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard of interpretation, seeing ye are become dull of hearing. 058 HEB 005 012 For when by reason of the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need again that some one teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food. 058 HEB 005 013 For every one that partaketh of milk is without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe. 058 HEB 005 014 But solid food is for fullgrown men, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil. 058 HEB 006 001 Wherefore let us cease to speak of the first principles of Christ, and press on unto perfection; not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 058 HEB 006 002 of the teaching of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of 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 as touching those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 058 HEB 006 005 and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, (aiōn g165) 058 HEB 006 006 and [then] fell away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. 058 HEB 006 007 For the land which hath drunk the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from God: 058 HEB 006 008 but if it beareth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and nigh unto a curse; 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 the love which ye shewed toward his name, in that ye ministered unto the saints, and still do minister. 058 HEB 006 011 And we desire that each one of you may shew the same diligence unto the fulness of hope even to the end: 058 HEB 006 012 that ye be not sluggish, but imitators of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. 058 HEB 006 013 For when God made promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he sware by himself, 058 HEB 006 014 saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. 058 HEB 006 015 And thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise. 058 HEB 006 016 For men swear by the greater: and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation. 058 HEB 006 017 Wherein God, being minded to shew more abundantly unto the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath: 058 HEB 006 018 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us; 058 HEB 006 019 which we have as an anchor of the soul, [a hope] both sure and stedfast and entering into that which is within the veil; 058 HEB 006 020 whither as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn g165) 058 HEB 007 001 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him, 058 HEB 007 002 to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; 058 HEB 007 003 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like unto the Son of God), abideth a priest continually. 058 HEB 007 004 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the chief spoils. 058 HEB 007 005 And they indeed of the sons of Levi that receive the priest’s office have commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though these have come out of the loins of Abraham: 058 HEB 007 006 but he whose genealogy is not counted from them hath taken tithes of Abraham, and hath blessed him that hath the promises. 058 HEB 007 007 But without any dispute the less is blessed of the better. 058 HEB 007 008 And here men that die receive tithes; but there one, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. 058 HEB 007 009 And, so to say, through Abraham even Levi, who receiveth tithes, hath paid tithes; 058 HEB 007 010 for he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchizedek met him. 058 HEB 007 011 Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it hath the people received the law), what further need [was there] that another priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be reckoned 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 said belongeth to another tribe, from which no man hath given attendance at the altar. 058 HEB 007 014 For it is evident that our Lord hath sprung out of Judah; as to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priests. 058 HEB 007 015 And [what we say] is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there ariseth another priest, 058 HEB 007 016 who hath been made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life: 058 HEB 007 017 for it is witnessed [of him], Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn g165) 058 HEB 007 018 For there is a disannulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness 058 HEB 007 019 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in thereupon of a better hope, through which we draw nigh unto God. 058 HEB 007 020 And inasmuch as [it is] not without the taking of an oath 058 HEB 007 021 (for they indeed have been made priests without an oath; but he with an oath by him that saith of him, The Lord sware and will not repent himself, Thou art a priest for ever); (aiōn g165) 058 HEB 007 022 by so much also hath Jesus become the surety of a better covenant. 058 HEB 007 023 And they indeed have been made priests many in number, because that by death they are hindered from continuing: 058 HEB 007 024 but he, because he abideth for ever, hath his priesthood unchangeable. (aiōn g165) 058 HEB 007 025 Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. 058 HEB 007 026 For such a high priest became us, holy, guileless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; 058 HEB 007 027 who needeth not daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the [sins] of the people: for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself. 058 HEB 007 028 For the law appointeth men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the law, [appointeth] a Son, perfected for evermore. (aiōn g165) 058 HEB 008 001 Now in the things which we are saying the chief point [is this]: We have such a high priest, who sat down 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, not man. 058 HEB 008 003 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that this [high priest] also have somewhat to offer. 058 HEB 008 004 Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are those who offer the gifts according to the law; 058 HEB 008 005 who serve [that which is] a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses is warned [of God] when he is about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern that was shewed thee in the mount. 058 HEB 008 006 But now hath he obtained a ministry the more excellent, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been enacted upon better promises. 058 HEB 008 007 For if that first [covenant] had been faultless, then would no place have been sought for a second. 058 HEB 008 008 For finding fault with them, he saith, 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; 058 HEB 008 009 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers In the day that I took them by the hand to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt; For 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 on their heart also will I write them: 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 fellow-citizen, And every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: For all shall know me, From the least to the greatest of them. 058 HEB 008 012 For I will be merciful to their iniquities, And their sins will I remember no more. 058 HEB 008 013 In that he saith, A new [covenant], he hath made the first old. But that which is becoming old and waxeth aged is nigh unto vanishing away. 058 HEB 009 001 Now even the first [covenant] had ordinances of divine service, and its sanctuary, [a sanctuary] of this world. 058 HEB 009 002 For there was a tabernacle prepared, the first, wherein [were] the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the Holy place. 058 HEB 009 003 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holy of holies; 058 HEB 009 004 having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein [was] a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; 058 HEB 009 005 and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat; of which things we cannot now speak severally. 058 HEB 009 006 Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services; 058 HEB 009 007 but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offereth for himself, and for the errors of the people: 058 HEB 009 008 the Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holy place hath not yet been made manifest, while as the first tabernacle is yet standing; 058 HEB 009 009 which [is] a parable for the time [now] present; according to which are offered both gifts and sacrifices that cannot, as touching the conscience, make the worshipper perfect, 058 HEB 009 010 [being] only (with meats and drinks and divers washings) carnal ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation. 058 HEB 009 011 But Christ having come a high priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation, 058 HEB 009 012 nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption. (aiōnios g166) 058 HEB 009 013 For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling them that have been defiled, sanctify unto the cleanness of the flesh: 058 HEB 009 014 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish unto 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 a new covenant, that a death having taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, they that have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. (aiōnios g166) 058 HEB 009 016 For where a testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him that made it. 058 HEB 009 017 For a testament is of force where there hath been death: for doth it ever avail while he that made it liveth? 058 HEB 009 018 Wherefore even the first [covenant] hath not been dedicated without blood. 058 HEB 009 019 For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses unto all the people according to the law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself, and all the people, 058 HEB 009 020 saying, This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded to you-ward. 058 HEB 009 021 Moreover the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry he sprinkled in like manner with the blood. 058 HEB 009 022 And according to the law, I may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission. 058 HEB 009 023 It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 058 HEB 009 024 For Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, like in pattern to the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face 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 year by year with blood not his own; 058 HEB 009 026 else must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once at the end of the ages hath he been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn g165) 058 HEB 009 027 And inasmuch as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this [cometh] judgment; 058 HEB 009 028 so Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time, apart from sin, to them that wait for him, unto salvation. 058 HEB 010 001 For the law having a shadow of the good [things] to come, not the very image of the things, they can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect them that draw nigh. 058 HEB 010 002 Else would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more conscience of sins? 058 HEB 010 003 But in those [sacrifices] there is a remembrance made of sins year by year. 058 HEB 010 004 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. 058 HEB 010 005 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, But a body didst thou prepare for me; 058 HEB 010 006 In whole burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin thou hadst no pleasure: 058 HEB 010 007 Then said I, Lo, I am come (In the roll of the book it is written of me) To do thy will, O God. 058 HEB 010 008 Saying above, Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein (the which are offered according to the law), 058 HEB 010 009 then hath he said, Lo, I am come to do thy will. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 058 HEB 010 010 By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 058 HEB 010 011 And every priest indeed standeth day by day ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, the which can never take away sins: 058 HEB 010 012 but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 058 HEB 010 013 from henceforth expecting till his enemies be made the footstool of his feet. 058 HEB 010 014 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. 058 HEB 010 015 And the Holy Ghost also beareth witness to us: for after he hath said, 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 on their heart, And upon their mind also will I write them; [then saith he], 058 HEB 010 017 And their sins and their 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 holy place by the blood of Jesus, 058 HEB 010 020 by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 058 HEB 010 021 and [having] a great priest over the house of God; 058 HEB 010 022 let us draw near with a true heart in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our body washed with pure water: 058 HEB 010 023 let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised: 058 HEB 010 024 and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works; 058 HEB 010 025 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting [one another]; and so much the more, as ye see the day drawing nigh. 058 HEB 010 026 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins, 058 HEB 010 027 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries. 058 HEB 010 028 A man that hath set at nought Moses’ law dieth without compassion on [the word of] two or three witnesses: 058 HEB 010 029 of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 058 HEB 010 030 For we know him that said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense. 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 enlightened, ye endured a great conflict of sufferings; 058 HEB 010 033 partly, being made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, becoming partakers with them that were so used. 058 HEB 010 034 For ye both had compassion on them that were in bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your possessions, knowing that ye yourselves have a better possession and an abiding one. 058 HEB 010 035 Cast not away therefore your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward. 058 HEB 010 036 For ye have need of patience, that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise. 058 HEB 010 037 For yet a very little while, He that cometh shall come, and shall not tarry. 058 HEB 010 038 But my righteous one shall live by faith: And if he shrink back, my soul hath no pleasure in him. 058 HEB 010 039 But we are not of them that shrink back unto perdition; but of them that have faith unto the saving of the soul. 058 HEB 011 001 Now faith is the assurance of [things] hoped for, the proving of things not seen. 058 HEB 011 002 For therein the elders had witness borne to them. 058 HEB 011 003 By faith we understand that the worlds have been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen hath not been made out of things which do appear. (aiōn g165) 058 HEB 011 004 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God bearing witness in respect of his gifts: and through it he being dead yet speaketh. 058 HEB 011 005 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God translated him: for before his translation he hath had witness borne to him that he had been well-pleasing unto God: 058 HEB 011 006 And without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing [unto him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that seek after him. 058 HEB 011 007 By faith Noah, being warned [of God] concerning things not seen as yet, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. 058 HEB 011 008 By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out unto a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. 058 HEB 011 009 By faith he became a sojourner in the land of promise, as in a [land] not his own, dwelling in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 058 HEB 011 010 for he looked for the city which hath the foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 058 HEB 011 011 By faith even Sarah herself received power to conceive seed when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised: 058 HEB 011 012 wherefore also there sprang of one, and him as good as dead, [so many] as the stars of heaven 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 and greeted them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 058 HEB 011 014 For they that say such things make it manifest that they are seeking after a country of their own. 058 HEB 011 015 And if indeed they had been mindful of that [country] from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return. 058 HEB 011 016 But now they desire a better [country], that is, a heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. 058 HEB 011 017 By faith Abraham, being tried, offered up Isaac: yea, he that had gladly received the promises was offering up his only begotten [son]; 058 HEB 011 018 [even he] to whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called: 058 HEB 011 019 accounting that God [is] able to raise up, even from the dead; from whence he did also in a parable receive him back. 058 HEB 011 020 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come. 058 HEB 011 021 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, [leaning] upon the top of his staff. 058 HEB 011 022 By faith Joseph, when his end was nigh, made mention of the departure 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 goodly child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment. 058 HEB 011 024 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; 058 HEB 011 025 choosing rather to be evil entreated with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 058 HEB 011 026 accounting the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he looked unto the recompense of 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 By faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them. 058 HEB 011 029 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were swallowed up. 058 HEB 011 030 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been compassed about for seven days. 058 HEB 011 031 By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with them that were disobedient, having received the spies with peace. 058 HEB 011 032 And what shall I more say? for the time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah; of David and Samuel and 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 power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, waxed mighty in war, turned to flight armies of aliens. 058 HEB 011 035 Women received their dead by a resurrection: and others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: 058 HEB 011 036 and others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: 058 HEB 011 037 they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tempted, they were slain with the sword: they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, evil entreated 058 HEB 011 038 (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves, and the holes of the earth. 058 HEB 011 039 And these all, having had witness borne to them through their faith, received not the promise, 058 HEB 011 040 God having provided some better thing concerning us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect. 058 HEB 012 001 Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, 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 unto Jesus the author and perfecter of [our] faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 058 HEB 012 003 For consider him that hath endured such gainsaying of sinners against themselves, that ye wax not weary, fainting in your souls. 058 HEB 012 004 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin: 058 HEB 012 005 and ye have forgotten the exhortation, which reasoneth with you as with sons, My son, regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when thou art reproved of him; 058 HEB 012 006 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 058 HEB 012 007 It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is there whom [his] father chasteneth not? 058 HEB 012 008 But if ye are without chastening, whereof all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. 058 HEB 012 009 Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 058 HEB 012 010 For they verily for a few days chastened [us] as seemed good to them; but he for [our] profit, that [we] may be partakers of his holiness. 058 HEB 012 011 All chastening seemeth for the present to be not joyous, but grievous: yet afterward it yieldeth peaceable fruit unto them that have been exercised thereby, [even the fruit] of righteousness. 058 HEB 012 012 Wherefore lift up the hands that hang down, and the palsied knees; 058 HEB 012 013 and make straight paths for your feet, that that which is lame be not turned out of the way, but rather be healed. 058 HEB 012 014 Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord: 058 HEB 012 015 looking carefully lest [there be] any man that falleth short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you], and thereby the many be defiled; 058 HEB 012 016 lest [there be] any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one mess of meat sold his own birthright. 058 HEB 012 017 For ye know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected (for he found no place of repentance), though he sought it diligently with tears. 058 HEB 012 018 For ye are not come unto [a mount] that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and unto blackness, and 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 no word more should be spoken unto them: 058 HEB 012 020 for they could not endure that which was enjoined, If even a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned; 058 HEB 012 021 and so fearful was the appearance, [that] Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake: 058 HEB 012 022 but ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable hosts of angels, 058 HEB 012 023 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled 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 a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaketh better than [that of] Abel. 058 HEB 012 025 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not, when they refused him that warned [them] on earth, much more [shall not] we [escape], who turn away from him that [warneth] from heaven: 058 HEB 012 026 whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more will I make to tremble not the earth only, but also the heaven. 058 HEB 012 027 And this [word], Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain. 058 HEB 012 028 Wherefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, whereby we may offer service well-pleasing to God with reverence and awe: 058 HEB 012 029 for our God is a consuming fire. 058 HEB 013 001 Let love of the brethren continue. 058 HEB 013 002 Forget not to shew love unto strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. 058 HEB 013 003 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; them that are evil entreated, as being yourselves also in the body. 058 HEB 013 004 [Let] marriage [be] had in honour among all, and [let] the bed [be] undefiled: for fornicators and adulterers God will judge. 058 HEB 013 005 Be ye free from the love of money; content with such things as ye have: for himself hath said, I will in no wise fail thee, neither will I in any wise forsake thee. 058 HEB 013 006 So that with good courage we say, The Lord is my helper; I will not fear: What shall man do unto me? 058 HEB 013 007 Remember them that had the rule over you, which spake unto you the word of God; and considering the issue of their life, imitate their faith. 058 HEB 013 008 Jesus Christ [is] the same yesterday and today, [yea] and for ever. (aiōn g165) 058 HEB 013 009 Be not carried away by divers and strange teachings: for it is good that the heart be stablished by grace; not by meats, wherein they that occupied themselves were not profited. 058 HEB 013 010 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. 058 HEB 013 011 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest [as an offering] for sin, are burned without the camp. 058 HEB 013 012 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered without the gate. 058 HEB 013 013 Let us therefore go forth unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. 058 HEB 013 014 For we have not here an abiding city, but we seek after [the city] which is to come. 058 HEB 013 015 Through him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which make confession to his name. 058 HEB 013 016 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 058 HEB 013 017 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit [to them]: for they watch in behalf of your souls, as they that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief: for this [were] unprofitable for you. 058 HEB 013 018 Pray for us: for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honestly in all things. 058 HEB 013 019 And I exhort [you] the more exceedingly to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner. 058 HEB 013 020 Now the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of the eternal covenant, [even] our Lord Jesus, (aiōnios g166) 058 HEB 013 021 make you perfect in every good thing to do his will, working in us that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom [be] the glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165) 058 HEB 013 022 But I exhort you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation: for I have written unto you in few words. 058 HEB 013 023 Know ye that our brother Timothy hath been set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you. 058 HEB 013 024 Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you. 058 HEB 013 025 Grace be with you all. Amen. # # BOOK 059 JAM James James 059 JAM 001 001 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are of the Dispersion, greeting. 059 JAM 001 002 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations; 059 JAM 001 003 Knowing that the proof of your faith worketh patience. 059 JAM 001 004 And let patience have [its] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing. 059 JAM 001 005 But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 059 JAM 001 006 But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. 059 JAM 001 007 For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord; 059 JAM 001 008 a doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways. 059 JAM 001 009 But let the brother of low degree glory in his high estate: 059 JAM 001 010 and 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 ariseth with the scorching wind, and withereth the grass; and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his goings. 059 JAM 001 012 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which [the Lord] promised to them that love him. 059 JAM 001 013 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man: 059 JAM 001 014 but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. 059 JAM 001 015 Then the lust, when it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, bringeth forth death. 059 JAM 001 016 Be not deceived, my beloved brethren. 059 JAM 001 017 Every good gift and every perfect boon is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast by turning. 059 JAM 001 018 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. 059 JAM 001 019 Ye know [this], my beloved brethren. But 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 Wherefore putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. 059 JAM 001 022 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves. 059 JAM 001 023 For if any one is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror: 059 JAM 001 024 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 059 JAM 001 025 But he that looketh into the perfect law, the [law] of liberty, and [so] continueth, being not a hearer that forgetteth, but a doer that worketh, this man shall be blessed in his doing. 059 JAM 001 026 If any man thinketh himself to be religious, while he bridleth not his tongue but deceiveth his heart, this man’s religion is vain. 059 JAM 001 027 Pure religion and undefiled before our God and 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, hold 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 synagogue a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, and there come in also a poor man in vile clothing; 059 JAM 002 003 and ye have regard to him that weareth the fine clothing, and say, Sit thou here in a good place; and ye say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or sit under my footstool; 059 JAM 002 004 are ye not divided in your own mind, and become judges with evil thoughts? 059 JAM 002 005 Hearken, my beloved brethren; did not God choose them that are poor as to the world [to be] rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him? 059 JAM 002 006 But ye have dishonoured the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and themselves drag you before the judgment-seats? 059 JAM 002 007 Do not they blaspheme the honourable name by the which ye are called? 059 JAM 002 008 Howbeit if ye fulfill 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 of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors. 059 JAM 002 010 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one [point], he is become guilty of all. 059 JAM 002 011 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 059 JAM 002 012 So speak ye, and so do, as men that are to be judged by a law of liberty. 059 JAM 002 013 For judgment [is] without mercy to him that hath shewed no mercy: mercy glorieth against judgment. 059 JAM 002 014 What doth it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but have not works? can that faith save him? 059 JAM 002 015 If a brother or sister be naked, and in lack of daily food, 059 JAM 002 016 and one of you say unto them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; and yet ye give them not the things needful to the body; what doth it profit? 059 JAM 002 017 Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself. 059 JAM 002 018 Yea, a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith apart from [thy] works, and I by my works will shew thee [my] faith. 059 JAM 002 019 Thou believest that God is one; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and shudder. 059 JAM 002 020 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is barren? 059 JAM 002 021 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son upon the altar? 059 JAM 002 022 Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect; 059 JAM 002 023 and the scripture was fulfilled which saith, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God. 059 JAM 002 024 Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith. 059 JAM 002 025 And in like manner was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way? 059 JAM 002 026 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead. 059 JAM 003 001 Be not many teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment. 059 JAM 003 002 For in many things we all stumble. If any stumbleth not in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also. 059 JAM 003 003 Now if we put the horses’ bridles into their mouths, that they may obey us, we turn about their whole body also. 059 JAM 003 004 Behold, the ships also, though they are so great, and are driven by rough winds, are yet turned about by a very small rudder, whither the impulse of the steersman willeth. 059 JAM 003 005 So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire! 059 JAM 003 006 And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell. (Geenna g1067) 059 JAM 003 007 For every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind: 059 JAM 003 008 but the tongue can no man tame; [it is] a restless evil, [it is] full of deadly poison. 059 JAM 003 009 Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the likeness of God: 059 JAM 003 010 out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 059 JAM 003 011 Doth the fountain send forth from the same opening sweet [water] and bitter? 059 JAM 003 012 Can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? neither [can] salt water yield sweet. 059 JAM 003 013 Who is wise and understanding among you? let him shew by his good life his works in meekness of wisdom. 059 JAM 003 014 But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth. 059 JAM 003 015 This wisdom is not [a wisdom] that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 059 JAM 003 016 For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed. 059 JAM 003 017 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without variance, without hypocrisy. 059 JAM 003 018 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for them that make peace. 059 JAM 004 001 Whence [come] wars and whence [come] fightings among you? [come they] not hence, [even] of your pleasures that war in your members? 059 JAM 004 002 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and covet, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war; ye have not, because ye ask not. 059 JAM 004 003 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend [it] in your pleasures. 059 JAM 004 004 Ye adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore would be a friend of the world maketh himself an enemy of God. 059 JAM 004 005 Or think ye that the scripture speaketh in vain? Doth the spirit which he made to dwell in us long unto envying? 059 JAM 004 006 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore [the scripture] saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble. 059 JAM 004 007 Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 059 JAM 004 008 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye doubleminded. 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 exalt you. 059 JAM 004 011 Speak not one against another, brethren. He that speaketh against a brother, or judgeth his brother, speaketh against 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 One [only] is the lawgiver and judge, [even] he who is able to save and to destroy: but who art thou that judgest thy neighbour? 059 JAM 004 013 Go to now, ye that say, Today or tomorrow we will go into this city, and spend a year there, and trade, and get gain: 059 JAM 004 014 whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. What is your life? For ye are a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 059 JAM 004 015 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall both live, and do this or that. 059 JAM 004 016 But now ye glory in your vauntings: all such glorying is evil. 059 JAM 004 017 To him therefore that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. 059 JAM 005 001 Go to now, ye rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you. 059 JAM 005 002 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. 059 JAM 005 003 Your gold and your silver are rusted; and their rust shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have laid up your treasure in the last days. 059 JAM 005 004 Behold, the hire of the labourers who mowed your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth out: and the cries of them that reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. 059 JAM 005 005 Ye have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure; ye have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter. 059 JAM 005 006 Ye have condemned, ye have killed the righteous [one]; he doth not resist you. 059 JAM 005 007 Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receive the early and latter rain. 059 JAM 005 008 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord is at hand. 059 JAM 005 009 Murmur not, brethren, one against another, that ye be not judged: behold, the judge standeth before the doors. 059 JAM 005 010 Take, brethren, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spake in the name of the Lord. 059 JAM 005 011 Behold, we call them blessed which endured: ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, how that the Lord is full of pity, and merciful. 059 JAM 005 012 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by the heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay; that ye fall not under judgment. 059 JAM 005 013 Is any among you suffering? let him pray. Is any cheerful? let him sing praise. 059 JAM 005 014 Is any among you sick? 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 him that is sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven him. 059 JAM 005 016 Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working. 059 JAM 005 017 Elijah was a man of like passions with us, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain; and it rained not on the earth for three years and six months. 059 JAM 005 018 And he prayed again; and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit. 059 JAM 005 019 My brethren, if any among you do err from the truth, and one convert him; 059 JAM 005 020 let him know, that he which converteth a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins. # # BOOK 060 1PE 1 Peter 1 Peter 060 1PE 001 001 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect who are sojourners of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 060 1PE 001 002 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, unto 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 great mercy begat us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 060 1PE 001 004 unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 060 1PE 001 005 who by the power of God are guarded through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 060 1PE 001 006 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, ye have been put to grief in manifold temptations, 060 1PE 001 007 that the proof of your faith, [being] more precious than gold that perisheth though it is proved by fire, might be found unto praise and glory and honour at the revelation of Jesus Christ: 060 1PE 001 008 whom not having seen ye love; on whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice greatly 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 Concerning which salvation the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that [should come] unto you: 060 1PE 001 011 searching what [time] or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did point unto, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow them. 060 1PE 001 012 To whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced unto you through them that preached the gospel unto you by the Holy Ghost sent forth from heaven; which things angels desire to look into. 060 1PE 001 013 Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, be sober and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 060 1PE 001 014 as children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts in [the time of] your ignorance: 060 1PE 001 015 but like as he which called you is holy, be ye yourselves also holy in all manner of living; 060 1PE 001 016 because it is written, Ye shall be holy; for I am holy. 060 1PE 001 017 And if ye call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to each man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear: 060 1PE 001 018 knowing that ye were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers; 060 1PE 001 019 but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot, [even the blood] of Christ: 060 1PE 001 020 who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of the times for your sake, 060 1PE 001 021 who through him are believers in God, which raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God. 060 1PE 001 022 Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently: 060 1PE 001 023 having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth. (aiōn g165) 060 1PE 001 024 For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth: 060 1PE 001 025 But the word of the Lord abideth for ever. And this is the word of good tidings which was preached unto you. (aiōn g165) 060 1PE 002 001 Putting away therefore all wickedness, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, 060 1PE 002 002 as newborn babes, long for the spiritual milk which is without guile, that ye may grow thereby unto salvation; 060 1PE 002 003 if ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious: 060 1PE 002 004 unto whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but with God elect, precious, 060 1PE 002 005 ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 060 1PE 002 006 Because it is contained in scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame. 060 1PE 002 007 For you therefore which believe is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner; 060 1PE 002 008 and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 060 1PE 002 009 But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for [God’s] own possession, that ye may shew forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light: 060 1PE 002 010 which in time past were no people, but now are the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. 060 1PE 002 011 Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; 060 1PE 002 012 having your behaviour seemly among the Gentiles; that, wherein they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by your good works, which they behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. 060 1PE 002 013 Be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; 060 1PE 002 014 or unto governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evil-doers and for praise to them that do well. 060 1PE 002 015 For so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: 060 1PE 002 016 as free, and not using your freedom for a cloke of wickedness, but as bondservants of God. 060 1PE 002 017 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. 060 1PE 002 018 Servants, [be] in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. 060 1PE 002 019 For this is acceptable, if for conscience toward God a man endureth griefs, suffering wrongfully. 060 1PE 002 020 For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted [for it], ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. 060 1PE 002 021 For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps: 060 1PE 002 022 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 060 1PE 002 023 who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously: 060 1PE 002 024 who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed. 060 1PE 002 025 For ye were going astray like sheep; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. 060 1PE 003 001 In like manner, ye wives, [be] in subjection to your own husbands; that, even if any obey not the word, they may without the word be gained by the behaviour of their wives; 060 1PE 003 002 beholding your chaste behaviour [coupled] with fear. 060 1PE 003 003 Whose [adorning] let it not be the outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on apparel; 060 1PE 003 004 but [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible [apparel] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 060 1PE 003 005 For after this manner aforetime the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands: 060 1PE 003 006 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose children ye now are, if ye do well, and are not put in fear by any terror. 060 1PE 003 007 Ye husbands, in like manner, dwell with [your wives] according to knowledge, giving honour unto the woman, as unto the weaker vessel, as being also joint-heirs of the grace of life; to the end that your prayers be not hindered. 060 1PE 003 008 Finally, [be] ye all likeminded, compassionate, loving as brethren, tenderhearted, humbleminded: 060 1PE 003 009 not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but contrariwise blessing; for hereunto were ye called, that ye should inherit a blessing. 060 1PE 003 010 For, He that would love life, And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips that they speak no guile: 060 1PE 003 011 And 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 upon the righteous, And his ears unto their supplication: But the face of the Lord is upon them that do evil. 060 1PE 003 013 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good? 060 1PE 003 014 But and if ye should suffer for righteousness’ sake, blessed [are ye]: and fear not their fear, neither be troubled; 060 1PE 003 015 but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: [being] ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear: 060 1PE 003 016 having a good conscience; that, wherein ye are spoken against, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ. 060 1PE 003 017 For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that ye suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing. 060 1PE 003 018 Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh, but quickened in the spirit; 060 1PE 003 019 in which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison, 060 1PE 003 020 which aforetime were disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water: 060 1PE 003 021 which also after a true likeness doth now save you, [even] baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the interrogation of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ; 060 1PE 003 022 who is on the right hand of God, having gone into heaven; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. 060 1PE 004 001 Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm ye yourselves also with the same mind; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; 060 1PE 004 002 that ye no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. 060 1PE 004 003 For the time past may suffice to have wrought the desire of the Gentiles, and to have walked in lasciviousness, lusts, winebibbings, revellings, carousings, and abominable idolatries: 060 1PE 004 004 wherein they think it strange that ye run not with [them] into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of [you]: 060 1PE 004 005 who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead. 060 1PE 004 006 For unto this end was the gospel preached even to the 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 of sound mind, and be sober unto prayer: 060 1PE 004 008 above all things being fervent in your love among yourselves; for love covereth a multitude of sins: 060 1PE 004 009 using hospitality one to another without murmuring: 060 1PE 004 010 according as each hath received a gift, ministering it among yourselves, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God; 060 1PE 004 011 if any man speaketh, [speaking] as it were oracles of God; if any man ministereth, [ministering] as of the strength which God supplieth: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, whose is the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165) 060 1PE 004 012 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial among you, which cometh upon you to prove you, as though a strange thing happened unto you: 060 1PE 004 013 but insomuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory also ye may rejoice with exceeding joy. 060 1PE 004 014 If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed [are ye]; because the [Spirit] of glory and the Spirit of God resteth upon you. 060 1PE 004 015 For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a meddler in other men’s matters: 060 1PE 004 016 but if [a man suffer] as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this name. 060 1PE 004 017 For the time [is come] for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if [it begin] first at 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 sinner appear? 060 1PE 004 019 Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing unto a faithful Creator. 060 1PE 005 001 The elders therefore among you I exhort, who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, who am also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 060 1PE 005 002 Tend the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not of constraint, but willingly, according unto God; nor yet for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 060 1PE 005 003 neither as lording it over the charge allotted to you, but making yourselves ensamples to the flock. 060 1PE 005 004 And when the chief Shepherd shall be manifested, ye shall receive the crown of glory that fadeth not away. 060 1PE 005 005 Likewise, ye younger, be subject unto the elder. Yea, all of you gird yourselves with humility, to serve one another: for God resisteth the proud, but 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 anxiety upon him, because he careth for you. 060 1PE 005 008 Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 060 1PE 005 009 whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world. 060 1PE 005 010 And the God of all grace, who called you unto his eternal glory in Christ, after that ye have suffered a little while, shall himself perfect, stablish, strengthen you. (aiōnios g166) 060 1PE 005 011 To him [be] the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165) 060 1PE 005 012 By Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I account [him], I have written unto you briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God: stand ye fast therein. 060 1PE 005 013 She that is in Babylon, elect together with [you], saluteth you; and [so doth] Mark my son. 060 1PE 005 014 Salute one another with a kiss of love.

(aiōnios g166) 061 2PE 001 012 Wherefore I shall be ready always to put you in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth which is with [you]. 061 2PE 001 013 And 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 the putting off of my tabernacle cometh swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ signified unto me. 061 2PE 001 015 Yea, I will give diligence that at every time ye may be able after my decease to call these things to remembrance. 061 2PE 001 016 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we 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 we [ourselves] heard come out of heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount. 061 2PE 001 019 And we have the word of prophecy [made] more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining 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 scripture is of private interpretation. 061 2PE 001 021 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Ghost. 061 2PE 002 001 But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 061 2PE 002 002 And many shall follow their lascivious doings; by reason of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of. 061 2PE 002 003 And in covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose sentence now from of old lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not. 061 2PE 002 004 For if God spared not angels when they sinned, but cast them down to hell, and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; (Tartaroō g5020) 061 2PE 002 005 and spared not the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a 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, having made them an example unto those that should live ungodly; 061 2PE 002 007 and delivered righteous Lot, sore distressed by the lascivious life of the wicked 061 2PE 002 008 (for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed [his] righteous soul from day to day with [their] lawless deeds): 061 2PE 002 009 the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment unto the day of judgment; 061 2PE 002 010 but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement, and despise dominion. Daring, selfwilled, they tremble not to rail at dignities: 061 2PE 002 011 whereas angels, though greater in might and power, bring not a railing judgment against them before the Lord. 061 2PE 002 012 But these, as creatures without reason, born mere animals to be taken and destroyed, railing in matters whereof they are ignorant, shall in their destroying surely be destroyed, 061 2PE 002 013 suffering wrong as the hire of wrong-doing; [men] that count it pleasure to revel in the day-time, spots and blemishes, revelling in their love-feasts while they feast with you; 061 2PE 002 014 having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; enticing unstedfast souls; having a heart exercised in covetousness; children of cursing; 061 2PE 002 015 forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the [son] of Beor, who loved the hire of wrong-doing; 061 2PE 002 016 but he was rebuked for his own transgression: a dumb ass spake with man’s voice and stayed the madness of the prophet. 061 2PE 002 017 These are springs without water, and mists driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved. 061 2PE 002 018 For, uttering great swelling [words] of vanity, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by lasciviousness, those who are just escaping from them that live in error; 061 2PE 002 019 promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he also brought into bondage. 061 2PE 002 020 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is become worse with them than the first. 061 2PE 002 021 For it were better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 061 2PE 002 022 It has happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog turning to his own vomit again, and the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire. 061 2PE 003 001 This is now, beloved, the second epistle that I write unto you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by putting you in remembrance; 061 2PE 003 002 that ye should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Saviour through your apostles: 061 2PE 003 003 knowing this first, that in the last days mockers shall come with mockery, walking after their own lusts, 061 2PE 003 004 and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 061 2PE 003 005 For this they wilfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth compacted out of water and amidst water, by the word of God; 061 2PE 003 006 by which means the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 061 2PE 003 007 but the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. 061 2PE 003 008 But forget not this one thing, beloved, 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 count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing 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 which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 061 2PE 003 011 Seeing that these things are thus all to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in [all] holy living and godliness, 061 2PE 003 012 looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 061 2PE 003 013 But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 061 2PE 003 014 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for these things, give diligence that ye may be found in peace, without spot and blameless in his sight. 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, wrote unto you; 061 2PE 003 016 as also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; wherein are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and unstedfast wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 061 2PE 003 017 Ye therefore, beloved, knowing [these things] beforehand, beware lest, being carried away with the error of the wicked, ye fall from your own stedfastness. 061 2PE 003 018 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] the glory both now and for ever. Amen.

For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 062 1JO 003 002 Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is. 062 1JO 003 003 And every one that hath this hope [set] on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 062 1JO 003 004 Every one that doeth sin doeth also lawlessness: and sin is lawlessness. 062 1JO 003 005 And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin. 062 1JO 003 006 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither knoweth him. 062 1JO 003 007 [My] little children, let no man lead you astray: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous: 062 1JO 003 008 he that doeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. To this end was the Son of God manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 062 1JO 003 009 Whosoever is begotten of God doeth no sin, because his seed abideth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is begotten of God. 062 1JO 003 010 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 062 1JO 003 011 For this is the message which ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another: 062 1JO 003 012 not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his works were evil, and his brother’s righteous. 062 1JO 003 013 Marvel not, brethren, if the world hateth you. 062 1JO 003 014 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren.

(aiōnios g166) 062 1JO 003 016 Hereby know we love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 062 1JO 003 017 But whoso hath the world’s goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him? 062 1JO 003 018 [My] little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue; but in deed and truth. 062 1JO 003 019 Hereby shall we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our heart before him, 062 1JO 003 020 whereinsoever our heart condemn us; because God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 062 1JO 003 021 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness toward God; 062 1JO 003 022 and whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things that are pleasing in his sight. 062 1JO 003 023 And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he gave us commandment. 062 1JO 003 024 And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he gave us. 062 1JO 004 001 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 062 1JO 004 002 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 062 1JO 004 003 and every spirit which confesseth not Jesus is not of God: and this is the [spirit] of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it is in the world already. 062 1JO 004 004 Ye are of God, [my] 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 speak they [as] of the world, and the world heareth them. 062 1JO 004 006 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he who is not of God heareth us not. 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 of God; and every one that loveth is begotten of God, and knoweth God. 062 1JO 004 008 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 062 1JO 004 009 Herein was the love of God manifested in us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 062 1JO 004 010 Herein 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 also ought to love one another. 062 1JO 004 012 No man hath beheld God at any time: if we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us: 062 1JO 004 013 hereby know we that we abide in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 062 1JO 004 014 And we have beheld and bear witness that the Father hath sent the Son [to be] the Saviour of the world. 062 1JO 004 015 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God. 062 1JO 004 016 And we know and have believed the love which God hath in us. God is love; and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God abideth in him. 062 1JO 004 017 Herein is love made perfect with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, even 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 punishment; and he that feareth is not made perfect in love. 062 1JO 004 019 We love, because he first loved us. 062 1JO 004 020 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, cannot 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 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God: and whosoever loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. 062 1JO 005 002 Hereby we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and do his commandments. 062 1JO 005 003 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 062 1JO 005 004 For whatsoever is begotten of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, [even] our faith. 062 1JO 005 005 And 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 with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. 062 1JO 005 007 And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is the truth. 062 1JO 005 008 For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and the three agree in one. 062 1JO 005 009 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for the witness of God is this, that he hath borne witness concerning his Son. 062 1JO 005 010 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in him: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he hath not believed in the witness that God hath borne concerning his Son. 062 1JO 005 011 And the witness is this, that God gave unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. 066 REV 003 004 But thou hast a few names in Sardis which did not defile their garments: and they shall walk with me in white; for they are worthy. 066 REV 003 005 He that overcometh shall thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. 066 REV 003 006 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. 066 REV 003 007 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and none shall shut, and that shutteth, and none openeth: 066 REV 003 008 I know thy works (behold, I have set before thee a door opened, which none can shut), that thou hast a little power, and didst keep my word, and didst not deny my name. 066 REV 003 009 Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, of them which say they are Jews, and they are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 066 REV 003 010 Because thou didst keep the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial, that [hour] which is to come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 066 REV 003 011 I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown. 066 REV 003 012 He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out thence no more: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and mine own new name. 066 REV 003 013 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. 066 REV 003 014 And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God: 066 REV 003 015 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 066 REV 003 016 So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth. 066 REV 003 017 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art the wretched one and miserable and poor and blind and naked: 066 REV 003 018 I counsel thee to buy of me gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become rich; and white garments, that thou mayest clothe thyself, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness be not made manifest; and eyesalve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see. 066 REV 003 019 As many as I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 066 REV 003 020 Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man 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 He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in 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 these things I saw, and behold, a door opened in heaven, and the first voice which I heard, [a voice] as of a trumpet speaking with me, one saying, Come up hither, and I will shew thee the things which must come to pass hereafter. 066 REV 004 002 Straightway I was in the Spirit: and behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting upon the throne; 066 REV 004 003 and he that sat [was] to look upon like a jasper stone and a sardius: and [there was] a rainbow round about the throne, like an emerald to look upon. 066 REV 004 004 And round about the throne [were] four and twenty thrones: and upon the thrones [I saw] four and twenty elders sitting, arrayed in white garments; and on their heads crowns of gold. 066 REV 004 005 And out of the throne proceed lightnings and voices and thunders. And [there were] seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God; 066 REV 004 006 and before the throne, as it were a glassy sea like unto crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, four living creatures full of eyes before and behind. 066 REV 004 007 And the first creature [was] like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face as of a man, and the fourth creature [was] like a flying eagle. 066 REV 004 008 And the four living creatures, having each one of them six wings, are full of eyes round about and within: and they have no rest day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, [is] the Lord God, the Almighty, which was and which is and which is to come. 066 REV 004 009 And when the living creatures shall give glory and honour and thanks to him that sitteth on the throne, to him that liveth for ever and ever, (aiōn g165) 066 REV 004 010 the four and twenty elders shall fall down before him that sitteth on the throne, and shall worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and shall cast their crowns before the throne, saying, (aiōn g165) 066 REV 004 011 Worthy art thou, our Lord and our God, to receive the glory and the honour and the power: for thou didst create all things, and because of thy will they were, 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, close sealed with seven seals. 066 REV 005 002 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a great voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 066 REV 005 003 And no one in the heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look thereon. 066 REV 005 004 And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look thereon: 066 REV 005 005 and one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion that is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath overcome, to open the book and the seven seals thereof. 066 REV 005 006 And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though 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 he taketh [it] out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne. 066 REV 005 008 And when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having each one a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 066 REV 005 009 And they sing a new song, saying, Worthy art thou to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and didst purchase unto God with thy blood [men] of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation, 066 REV 005 010 and madest them [to be] unto our God a kingdom and priests; and they reign upon the earth. 066 REV 005 011 And I saw, and I heard a voice of many angels round about the throne and the living creatures 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 great voice, Worthy is the Lamb that hath been slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honour, and glory, and blessing. 066 REV 005 013 And every created thing which is in the heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and on the sea, and all things that are in them, heard I saying, Unto him that sitteth on the throne, and unto the Lamb, [be] the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the dominion, for ever and ever. (aiōn g165) 066 REV 005 014 And the four living creatures said, Amen. And the elders fell down and worshipped. 066 REV 006 001 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, Come. 066 REV 006 002 And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer. 066 REV 006 003 And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come. 066 REV 006 004 And another [horse] came forth, a red horse: and to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. 066 REV 006 005 And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come. And I saw, and behold, a black horse; and he that sat thereon had a balance in his hand. 066 REV 006 006 And I heard as it were a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A measure of wheat for a penny and three measures of barley for a penny; and the oil and the wine hurt thou not. 066 REV 006 007 And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, Come. 066 REV 006 008 And I saw, and behold, a pale horse: and he that sat upon him, his name was Death; and Hades followed with him. And there was given unto them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth. (Hadēs g86) 066 REV 006 009 And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of them that had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 066 REV 006 010 and they cried with a great voice, saying, How long, O Master, the holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 066 REV 006 011 And there was given them to each one a white robe; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little time, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren, which should be killed even as they were, should be fulfilled. 066 REV 006 012 And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood; 066 REV 006 013 and the stars of the heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree casteth her unripe figs, when she is shaken of a great wind. 066 REV 006 014 And the heaven was removed as a scroll when it is rolled up; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 066 REV 006 015 And the kings of the earth, and the princes, and the chief captains, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman and freeman, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains; 066 REV 006 016 and they say to the mountains and to the 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 their wrath is come; and who is able to stand? 066 REV 007 001 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that no wind should blow on the earth, or on the sea, or upon any tree. 066 REV 007 002 And I saw another angel ascend from the sunrising, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a great 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 shall have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads. 066 REV 007 004 And I heard the number of them which were sealed, a hundred and forty and four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel. 066 REV 007 005 Of the tribe of Judah [were] sealed twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand: 066 REV 007 006 Of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand: 066 REV 007 007 Of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand: 066 REV 007 008 Of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Benjamin [were] sealed twelve thousand. 066 REV 007 009 After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of [all] tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands; 066 REV 007 010 and they cry with a great voice, saying, Salvation unto our God which sitteth on the throne, and unto the Lamb. 066 REV 007 011 And all the angels were standing round about the throne, and [about] the elders and the four living creatures; and they 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] unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165) 066 REV 007 013 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, These which are arrayed in the white robes, who are they, and whence came they? 066 REV 007 014 And I say unto him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 066 REV 007 015 Therefore are they before the throne of God; and they serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall spread his tabernacle over them. 066 REV 007 016 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun strike upon them, nor any heat: 066 REV 007 017 for the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall be their shepherd, and shall guide them unto fountains of waters of life: and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes. 066 REV 008 001 And when he opened the seventh seal, there followed a silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. 066 REV 008 002 And I saw the seven angels which stand before God; and there were given unto them seven trumpets. 066 REV 008 003 And another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should add it unto the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 066 REV 008 004 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel’s hand. 066 REV 008 005 And the angel taketh the censer; and he filled it with the fire of the altar, and cast it upon the earth: and there followed thunders, and voices, and lightnings, and an earthquake. 066 REV 008 006 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. 066 REV 008 007 And the first sounded, and there followed hail and fire, mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the third part of the 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 there died the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, [even] they that had life; and the third part of the ships was destroyed. 066 REV 008 010 And the third angel sounded, and there fell from heaven a great star, burning as a torch, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of the 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 of 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; that the third part of them should be darkened, and the day should not shine for the third part of it, and the night in like manner. 066 REV 008 013 And I saw, and I heard an eagle, flying in mid heaven, saying with a great voice, Woe, woe, woe, for them that dwell on the earth, by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, who are yet to sound. 066 REV 009 001 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven fallen unto the earth: and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss. (Abyssos g12) 066 REV 009 002 And he opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up 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 out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 066 REV 009 004 And it was said unto them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only such men as have not the seal of God on their foreheads. 066 REV 009 005 And it was given them 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 it striketh a man. 066 REV 009 006 And in those days men shall seek death, and shall in no wise find it; and they shall desire to die, and death fleeth from them. 066 REV 009 007 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as it were crowns like unto gold, and their faces were as men’s faces. 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 rushing to war. 066 REV 009 010 And they have tails like unto scorpions, and stings; and in their tails is their power to hurt men five months. 066 REV 009 011 They have over them as king the angel of the abyss: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek [tongue] he hath the name Apollyon. (Abyssos g12) 066 REV 009 012 The first Woe is past: behold, there come yet two Woes hereafter. 066 REV 009 013 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God, 066 REV 009 014 one saying to the sixth angel, which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound at the great river Euphrates. 066 REV 009 015 And the four angels were loosed, which had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, that they should kill the third part of men. 066 REV 009 016 And the number of the armies of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand: 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 [as] of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone: and the heads of the horses are as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceedeth fire and smoke and brimstone. 066 REV 009 018 By these three plagues was the third part of men killed, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone, which proceeded out of their mouths. 066 REV 009 019 For the power of the horses is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails are like unto serpents, and have heads; and with them they do hurt. 066 REV 009 020 And the rest of mankind, which were not killed with these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk: 066 REV 009 021 and they repented not of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. 066 REV 010 001 And I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, arrayed with a cloud; and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire; 066 REV 010 002 and he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left upon the earth; 066 REV 010 003 and he cried with a great voice, as a lion roareth: and when he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices. 066 REV 010 004 And when the seven thunders uttered [their voices], I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. 066 REV 010 005 And the angel which I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his right hand to heaven, 066 REV 010 006 and sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created the heaven and the things that are therein, and the earth and the things that are therein, and the sea and the things that are therein, that there shall be time no longer: (aiōn g165) 066 REV 010 007 but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then is finished the mystery of God, according to the good tidings which he declared to his servants the prophets. 066 REV 010 008 And the voice which I heard from heaven, [I heard it] again speaking with me, and saying, Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel that standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. 066 REV 010 009 And I went unto the angel, saying unto him that he should give me the little book. And he saith unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey. 066 REV 010 010 And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and when I had eaten it, my belly was made bitter. 066 REV 010 011 And they say unto me, Thou must prophesy again over many peoples and nations and tongues and kings. 066 REV 011 001 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and one said, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. 066 REV 011 002 And the court which is without the temple leave without, and measure it not; for it hath been given unto the nations: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. 066 REV 011 003 And I will give unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. 066 REV 011 004 These are the two olive trees and the two candlesticks, standing before the Lord of the earth. 066 REV 011 005 And if any man desireth to hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man shall desire to hurt them, in this manner must he be killed. 066 REV 011 006 These have the power to shut the heaven, that it rain not during the days of their prophecy: and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they shall desire. 066 REV 011 007 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that cometh up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them. (Abyssos g12) 066 REV 011 008 And their dead bodies [lie] in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. 066 REV 011 009 And from among the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations do [men] look upon their dead bodies three days and a half, and suffer not their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb. 066 REV 011 010 And they that dwell on the earth rejoice over them, and make merry; and they shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwell on the earth. 066 REV 011 011 And after the three days and a half the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which beheld them. 066 REV 011 012 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they went up into heaven in the cloud; and their enemies beheld them. 066 REV 011 013 And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell; and there were killed in the earthquake seven thousand persons: and the rest were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. 066 REV 011 014 The second Woe is past: behold, the third Woe cometh quickly. 066 REV 011 015 And the seventh angel sounded; and there followed great voices in heaven, and they said, The kingdom of the world is become [the kingdom] 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, which sit before God on their thrones, fell upon their faces and worshipped God, 066 REV 011 017 saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty, which art and which wast; because thou hast taken thy great power, and didst reign. 066 REV 011 018 And the nations were wroth, and thy wrath came, and the time of the dead to be judged, and [the time] to give their reward to thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to them that fear thy name, the small and the great; and to destroy them that destroy the earth. 066 REV 011 019 And there was opened the temple of God that is in heaven; and there was seen in his temple the ark of his covenant; and there followed lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail. 066 REV 012 001 And a great sign was seen in heaven; a woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars; 066 REV 012 002 and she was with child: and she crieth out, travailing in birth, and in pain to be delivered. 066 REV 012 003 And there was seen another sign in heaven; and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems. 066 REV 012 004 And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was about to be delivered, that when she was delivered he might devour her child. 066 REV 012 005 And she was delivered of a son, a man child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne. 066 REV 012 006 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and threescore days. 066 REV 012 007 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels [going forth] to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels; 066 REV 012 008 And they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven. 066 REV 012 009 And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him. 066 REV 012 010 And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accuseth them before our God day and night. 066 REV 012 011 And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death. 066 REV 012 012 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time. 066 REV 012 013 And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man [child]. 066 REV 012 014 And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto 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 after the woman water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream. 066 REV 012 016 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 066 REV 012 017 And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus: 066 REV 013 001 and he stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy. 066 REV 013 002 And the beast which I saw was like unto 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 though it had been smitten unto death; and his death-stroke was healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast; 066 REV 013 004 and they worshipped the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? and who is able to war with him? 066 REV 013 005 and there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty and two months. 066 REV 013 006 And he opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, [even] them that dwell in the heaven. 066 REV 013 007 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. 066 REV 013 008 And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him, [every one] whose name hath not been written in the book of life of the Lamb that hath been slain from the foundation of the world. 066 REV 013 009 If any man hath an ear, let him hear. 066 REV 013 010 If any man [is] for captivity, into captivity he goeth: if any man shall kill with the sword, with the sword must he be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 066 REV 013 011 And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like unto a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 066 REV 013 012 And he exerciseth all the authority of the first beast in his sight. And he maketh the earth and them that dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose death-stroke was healed. 066 REV 013 013 And he doeth great signs, that he should even make fire to come down out of heaven upon the earth in the sight of men. 066 REV 013 014 And he deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by reason of the signs which it was given him 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, who hath the stroke of the sword, and lived. 066 REV 013 015 And it was given [unto him] to give breath to it, [even] to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as should not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 066 REV 013 016 And he causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead; 066 REV 013 017 and that no man should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, [even] the name of the beast or the number of his name. 066 REV 013 018 Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him 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 saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on 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 the voice which I heard [was] as [the voice] of harpers harping with their harps: 066 REV 014 003 and they sing as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders: and no man could learn the song save the hundred and forty and four thousand, [even] they that had been purchased out of the earth. 066 REV 014 004 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These [are] they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were purchased from among men, [to be] the firstfruits unto God and unto the Lamb. 066 REV 014 005 And in their mouth was found no lie: they are without blemish. 066 REV 014 006 And I saw another angel flying in mid heaven, having an eternal gospel to proclaim unto them that dwell on the earth, and unto every nation and tribe and tongue and people; (aiōnios g166) 066 REV 014 007 and he saith with a great voice, Fear God, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters. 066 REV 014 008 And another, a second angel, followed, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, which hath made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. 066 REV 014 009 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, If any man worshippeth the beast and his image, and receiveth a mark on his forehead, or upon his hand, 066 REV 014 010 he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger; 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 goeth up for ever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, they that worship the beast and his image, and whoso receiveth the mark of his name. (aiōn g165) 066 REV 014 012 Here is the patience of the saints, they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. 066 REV 014 013 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; for their works follow with them. 066 REV 014 014 And I saw, and behold, a white cloud; and on the cloud [I saw] one sitting like unto a 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 from the temple, crying with a great voice to him that sat on the cloud, Send forth thy sickle, and reap: for the hour to reap is come; for the harvest of the earth is over-ripe. 066 REV 014 016 And he that sat on the cloud cast his sickle upon the earth; and the earth was reaped. 066 REV 014 017 And another angel came out from the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 066 REV 014 018 And another angel came out from the altar, he that hath power over fire; and he called with a great voice to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Send forth 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 cast his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth, and cast it into the winepress, the great [winepress], of the wrath of God. 066 REV 014 020 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and there came out blood from the winepress, even unto the bridles of the horses, as far as a thousand and six hundred furlongs. 066 REV 015 001 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having seven plagues, [which are] the last, for in them is finished the wrath of God. 066 REV 015 002 And I saw as it were a glassy sea mingled with fire; and them that come victorious from the beast, and from his image, and from the number of his name, standing by the glassy sea, having 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 marvelous are thy works, O Lord God, the Almighty; righteous and true are thy ways, thou King of the ages. 066 REV 015 004 Who shall not fear, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy; for all the nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy righteous acts have been made manifest. 066 REV 015 005 And after these things I saw, and the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened: 066 REV 015 006 and there came out from the temple the seven angels that had the seven plagues, arrayed with [precious] stone, pure [and] bright, and girt about their breasts with golden girdles. 066 REV 015 007 And one of the four living creatures gave unto the seven angels seven golden bowls 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 none was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels should be finished. 066 REV 016 001 And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, Go ye, and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God into the earth. 066 REV 016 002 And the first went, and poured out his bowl into the earth; and it became a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and which worshipped his image. 066 REV 016 003 And the second poured out his bowl into the sea; and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living soul died, [even] the things that were in the sea. 066 REV 016 004 And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and the fountains of the waters; and it became blood. 066 REV 016 005 And I heard the angel of the waters saying, Righteous art thou, which art and which wast, thou Holy One, because thou didst thus judge: 066 REV 016 006 for they poured out the blood of saints and prophets, and blood hast thou given them to drink: they are worthy. 066 REV 016 007 And I heard the altar saying, Yea, O Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. 066 REV 016 008 And the fourth poured out his bowl upon the sun; and it was given unto it to scorch men with fire. 066 REV 016 009 And men were scorched with great heat: and they blasphemed the name of the God which hath the power over these plagues; and they repented not to give him glory. 066 REV 016 010 And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom was darkened; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 066 REV 016 011 and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores; and they repented not of their works. 066 REV 016 012 And the sixth poured out his bowl upon the great river, the [river] Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way might be made ready for the kings that [come] from the sunrising. 066 REV 016 013 And I saw [coming] out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as it were frogs: 066 REV 016 014 for they are spirits of devils, working signs; which go forth unto the kings of the whole world, to gather them together unto the war of the great day of God, the 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 they gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew Har-Magedon. 066 REV 016 017 And the seventh poured out his bowl upon the air; and there came forth a great voice out of the temple, from the throne, saying, It is done: 066 REV 016 018 and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since there were men upon the earth, so great an earthquake, so mighty. 066 REV 016 019 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and Babylon the great was remembered in the sight of God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 066 REV 016 020 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 066 REV 016 021 And great hail, [every stone] about the weight of a talent, cometh down out of heaven upon men: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof is exceeding great. 066 REV 017 001 And there came one of the seven angels that had the seven bowls, and spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters; 066 REV 017 002 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and they that dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication. 066 REV 017 003 And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting 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, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations, even the unclean things of her fornication, 066 REV 017 005 and upon her forehead a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 066 REV 017 006 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I wondered with a great wonder. 066 REV 017 007 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore 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 the ten horns. 066 REV 017 008 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go into perdition. And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, [they] whose name hath not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast, how that he was, and is not, and shall come. (Abyssos g12) 066 REV 017 009 Here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth: 066 REV 017 010 and they are seven kings; the five are fallen, the one is, the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a little while. 066 REV 017 011 And the beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goeth into perdition. 066 REV 017 012 And the ten horns that thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour. 066 REV 017 013 These have one mind, and they give their power and authority unto the beast. 066 REV 017 014 These shall war against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings; and they [also shall overcome] that are with him, called and chosen and faithful. 066 REV 017 015 And he saith unto 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, and the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her utterly with fire. 066 REV 017 017 For God did put in their hearts to do his mind, and to come to one mind, and to give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished. 066 REV 017 018 And the woman whom thou sawest is the great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. 066 REV 018 001 After these things I saw another angel coming down out of heaven, having great authority; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 066 REV 018 002 And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of devils, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird. 066 REV 018 003 For by the wine of the wrath of her fornication all the nations are fallen; and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth waxed rich by the power of her wantonness. 066 REV 018 004 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come forth, my people, out of her, that ye have no fellowship with her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues: 066 REV 018 005 for her sins have reached even unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. 066 REV 018 006 Render unto her even as she rendered, and double [unto her] the double according to her works: in the cup which she mingled, mingle unto her double. 066 REV 018 007 How much soever she glorified herself, and waxed wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall in no wise see mourning. 066 REV 018 008 Therefore in one day shall her plagues come, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire; for strong is the Lord God which judged her. 066 REV 018 009 And the kings of the earth, who committed fornication and lived wantonly with her, shall weep and wail over her, when they look upon the smoke of her burning, 066 REV 018 010 standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. 066 REV 018 011 And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no man buyeth their merchandise any more; 066 REV 018 012 merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet; and all thyine wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble; 066 REV 018 013 and cinnamon, and spice, and incense, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep; and [merchandise] of horses and chariots and slaves; and souls of men. 066 REV 018 014 And the fruits which thy soul lusted after are gone from thee, and all things that were dainty and sumptuous are perished from thee, and [men] shall 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 mourning; 066 REV 018 016 saying, Woe, woe, the great city, she that was arrayed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearl! 066 REV 018 017 for in one hour so great riches is made desolate. And every shipmaster, and every one that saileth any whither, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood afar off, 066 REV 018 018 and cried out as they looked upon the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city] is like the great city? 066 REV 018 019 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, wherein were made rich all that had their ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. 066 REV 018 020 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye saints, and ye apostles, and ye prophets; for God hath judged your judgment on her. 066 REV 018 021 And a strong angel took up a stone as it were a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with a mighty fall shall Babylon, the great city, be cast down, and shall be found no more at all. 066 REV 018 022 And the voice of harpers and minstrels and flute-players and trumpeters shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft, shall be found any more at all in thee; and the voice of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; 066 REV 018 023 and the light of a lamp shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the princes of the earth; for with thy sorcery were all the nations deceived. 066 REV 018 024 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all that have been slain upon the earth. 066 REV 019 001 After these things I heard as it were a great voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, Hallelujah; Salvation, and glory, and power, belong to our God: 066 REV 019 002 for true and righteous are his judgments; for he hath judged the great harlot, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and he hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. 066 REV 019 003 And a second time they say, Hallelujah. And her smoke goeth up for ever and ever. (aiōn g165) 066 REV 019 004 And the four and twenty elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God that sitteth on the throne, saying, Amen; Hallelujah. 066 REV 019 005 And a voice came forth from the throne, saying, Give praise to our God, all ye his servants, ye that fear him, the small and the 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 thunders, saying, Hallelujah: for the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigneth. 066 REV 019 007 Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 066 REV 019 008 And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright [and] pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. 066 REV 019 009 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are bidden to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are true words of God. 066 REV 019 010 And I fell down before his feet to worship him. And he saith unto me, See thou do it not: I am a fellow-servant with thee and with thy brethren that hold the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. 066 REV 019 011 And I saw the heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon, called Faithful and True; and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 066 REV 019 012 And his eyes [are] a flame of fire, and upon his head [are] many diadems; and he hath a name written, which no one knoweth but he himself. 066 REV 019 013 And he [is] arrayed in a garment sprinkled with blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 066 REV 019 014 And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white [and] pure. 066 REV 019 015 And out of his mouth proceedeth 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 of the wrath of Almighty God. 066 REV 019 016 And he hath on his garment 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 birds that fly in mid heaven, Come [and] be gathered together unto the great supper of 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 thereon, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, and 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 upon the horse, and against his army. 066 REV 019 020 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought the signs in his sight, wherewith he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image: they twain were cast alive into the lake of fire that burneth with brimstone: (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442) 066 REV 019 021 and the rest were killed with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, [even the sword] which came forth out of his mouth: and all the birds were filled with their flesh. 066 REV 020 001 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. (Abyssos g12) 066 REV 020 002 And he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, 066 REV 020 003 and cast him into the abyss, and shut [it], and sealed [it] over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years should be finished: after this he must be loosed for a little time. (Abyssos g12) 066 REV 020 004 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and [I saw] the souls of them that had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as worshipped not the beast, neither his image, and received not the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they lived, and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 066 REV 020 005 The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years should be finished. This is the first resurrection. 066 REV 020 006 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: over these 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 are finished, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 066 REV 020 008 and shall come forth to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 066 REV 020 009 And they went up over the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down 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 are also the beast and the false prophet; and they 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 upon 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, the great and the small, standing before the throne; and 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 Hades gave 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 Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, [even] the lake of fire. (Hadēs g86, Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442) 066 REV 020 015 And if any was not found written in the book of life, he 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 are passed away; and the sea is no more. 066 REV 021 002 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. 066 REV 021 003 And I heard a great voice out of the throne saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall dwell with them, and they shall be his peoples, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God: 066 REV 021 004 and he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more; neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more: the first things are passed away. 066 REV 021 005 And he that sitteth on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he saith, Write: for these words are faithful and true. 066 REV 021 006 And he said unto me, They are come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 066 REV 021 007 He that overcometh shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 066 REV 021 008 But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part [shall be] in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442) 066 REV 021 009 And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were laden with the seven last plagues; and he spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb. 066 REV 021 010 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and shewed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, 066 REV 021 011 having the glory of God: her light was like unto a stone most precious, as it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal: 066 REV 021 012 having a wall great and high; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written thereon, which are [the names] of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 066 REV 021 013 on the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and 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 twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 066 REV 021 015 And he that spake with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. 066 REV 021 016 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length thereof is as great as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs: the length and the breadth and the height thereof are equal. 066 REV 021 017 And he measured the wall thereof, a hundred and forty and four cubits, [according to] the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. 066 REV 021 018 And the building of the wall thereof was jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto pure glass. 066 REV 021 019 The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; 066 REV 021 020 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. 066 REV 021 021 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the several 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 therein: for the Lord God the Almighty, and the Lamb, are the temple thereof. 066 REV 021 023 And the city hath no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine upon it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp thereof [is] the Lamb. 066 REV 021 024 And the nations shall walk amidst the light thereof: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory into it. 066 REV 021 025 And the gates thereof shall in no wise be shut by day (for there shall be no night there): 066 REV 021 026 and they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into it: 066 REV 021 027 and there shall in no wise enter into it anything unclean, or he that maketh an abomination and a lie: but only they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life. 066 REV 022 001 And he shewed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb, 066 REV 022 002 in the midst of the street thereof. And on this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve [manner of] fruits, yielding its 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 curse any more: and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be therein: and his servants shall do him service; 066 REV 022 004 and they shall see his face; and his name [shall be] on their foreheads. 066 REV 022 005 And there shall be night no more; and they need no light of lamp, neither light of sun; for the Lord God shall give them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. (aiōn g165) 066 REV 022 006 And he said unto me, These words are faithful and true: and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly come to pass. 066 REV 022 007 And behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book. 066 REV 022 008 And I John am he that heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. 066 REV 022 009 And he saith unto me, See thou do it not: I am a fellow-servant with thee and with thy brethren the prophets, and with them which keep the words of this book: worship God. 066 REV 022 010 And he saith unto me, Seal not up the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand. 066 REV 022 011 He that is unrighteous, let him do unrighteousness still: and he that is filthy, let him be made filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him do righteousness still: and he that is holy, let him be made holy still. 066 REV 022 012 Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to render to each man according as his work is. 066 REV 022 013 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. 066 REV 022 014 Blessed are they that wash their robes, that they may have the right [to come] to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city. 066 REV 022 015 Without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one that loveth and maketh a lie. 066 REV 022 016 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright, the morning star. 066 REV 022 017 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And he that heareth, let him say, Come. And he that is athirst, let him come: he that will, let him take the water of life freely. 066 REV 022 018 I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto them, God shall add unto him the plagues which 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 from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book. 066 REV 022 020 He which testifieth these things saith, Yea: I come quickly. Amen: come, Lord Jesus. 066 REV 022 021 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with the saints. Amen.
